Post-Game Talk: Habs crackin' the Kraken 4-2!

[BaseballCoach]

I rather have Pezzetta with his cap hit vs Armia though. Don't hate Armia but it's just more uninspired type play. At least Pezzetta brings energy every shift.

Armia is a much better PKer, and will over a long season provide more offense too. Ignore the cap hit, as we are stuck with it whethr he plays or sits, and with most of it if we demote him.

Agreed that we need to look past the negative value contract with Armia. What's done is done. Just saying I don't think Pezzetta deserves devalue. Don't shoot down players who bust their ass off each and every shift for us. Pezzetta is a great depth guy regardless if he is on the 4th line or watching games.

Is there any news about a Laval call-up to cover injuries?

No, the habs don't play until Saturday

 

[The Real Timo]

Because he’s been pretty bad recently. Kovacevic has been far better.

I would argue that Harris played a horrible game in Edm. And that no matter how bad, Xhekaj is still better than Wideman. There is more to it than just managing ice time.

 

[Cournoyer12]

So did we get any information about why Xhekaj's use was so low last night? Any of the "reputable" Habs reporters asked that question? I am not impressed. I want to know why my boy isn't getting the ice time he deserves and why scrubs like Wideman and Kova log double the ice time.

Also, it sucks that there isn't a game until Sat. Bleah. What to do now for the next 3 days? Like talk to family?

Hold your tongue and stay out of trouble my friend!

 

[BaseballCoach]

Just symbolic. But it could be a kick-start for a very good career.

I agree and can guarantee you that there would no good career without a first goal.

Because he’s been pretty bad recently. Kovacevic has been far better.

Kovacevic is slower than all our D except Savard. He coughs up the puck needlessly (like with 5 seconds left in the second period last night, instead of just freezing it along the boards between his skates, and he also makes bad pinches more often than our other guys.

Right now, Kovacevic is our 7th D and Wideman our 8th.

Where's the Button ripping Dvorak clip?

Where's the Button ripping Dvorak clip?

Watch the entire game, that's the clip. He kept propping up the youngsters and absolutely ripping the vets, wether it was warranted or not.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Is there any news about a Laval call-up to cover injuries?

Depending on what Monahan's injury is and if he will miss time. If yes, we can expect a call up.

I want the specific clip at the end.

"You look stressed out Craig are you ok?"

We played good game beat a hot team. Without Savard and Monahan

And we all know there's nothing worse that's a bad pooinche

 

[JianYang]

Armia is not going to be waived. I think he would do a lot better in a dump & chase game, and not the transition, puck control style MSL wants.

Shot is way off right now. He can't hit the net. He seems to be going with a half slapper over his wrister. He has zero control over the slapper. It's wild.

He's still solid on pk, and is coming back to help out the D. He's doing the job on defensive side of the puck he's just awful offensively.

Did armia miss camp as well? The other two guys that didn't make it through camp (matheson and edmundson) have not looked very good either.

I still don't think matheson is moving as well since coming back, and Eddy hasn't been his usual steady self. That could be back related too because eit sure seems like a chronic ailment at this point.

Anyways, it's probably not a coincidence that all three of these guys are not playing their best right now.

 

[rik schau]

"He's a hockey player through his bone" and yes he did say that.

Lol ''bone'' what a buffoon. And Molson hired him.lol.

 

[rik schau]

To be fair, 3 of the 4 Hab goals came off Grade A++ scoring chances. Only the first was a bit of puck luck, making it through the screen. And even on that one Kovacevic can be credited with getting off the shot so quickly that Jones could not set up like he would have wanted to.

Happens often that a seeing eye shot makes it in from the point. Habs scored on the chances they had,it happens,usually they muck it up.

 

[rik schau]

Had a Canucks pal over on Monday, he asked me about the Habs injuries, and I didn’t even name Gallagher. He had to pry Drouin and Hoffman out of me, i commented that Savard is a decent loss with his play this year. It wasn’t until revisiting his question the next day I realized, oh yeah, Gallagher.

Gallagher reminds me of my tonsils,had them,became faulty,removed them, never missed them or gave them a second thought.lol.
