Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat Bedard in Home Opener.

[OldCraig71]

Pregame was terrible. its like they told them they would have a presentation at noon and no rehersal.

Bedard is the new golden child and its annoying.

Take the win, but habs aren't a playoff team, despite leaf friends say they are.

While we aren't of the same tier as playoff teams, our system of defending in our zone is going to cause us to give up a lot of goals. On the pk we aren't challenging the point at all and that's strange because most teams do it to us and I wonder what the thought process was when deciding to play that way? We will continue to give up 30-40 shots a night if it continues.

 

[MarkJ]

How did Johnson with 2 goals not get a star? Is it a thing now that all the stars go to the home team?

I don't know who picks them this year.

 

[The Real Timo]

3rd in our division......we take what we can, when we can

.750 record. I can see that holding until da playoffs

Probably the same people that planned the opening ceremony.

Monty will go from chunky to very skinny

Three 6v5 goals given up in two games. Robidas may clue in to the fact that Savard/Matheson is not the answer. Kovacevic /Ghule is. I loved Kaiden Ghule's game last evening better forays into the Ozone than Matheson and just that one bad luck bounce off his skate though he was in great position defensively. He is our Best Defender without a doubt and our budding #1.

 

[Simarino]

Yes. And tons of changes were made. We have Caufield, Suzuki, Dach, Newhook, Guhle, Xhekaj, RHP, Slaf in the lineup

Mailloux, Hutson, Reinbacher, Roy, maybe Farrell, Heineman coming

Future is bright, give it time. We all knew how this was going to go: slow

On top of that, Hughes got rid of alot of deadweight and acquired a bunch of assets that will give him the power needed to make a big trade along the way.

 

[sampollock]

not sure why they boo the kid. I really feel that is out of line.

 

[Simarino]

Dach injury extra sucks because C is the only position where we don't even have any interesting prospects to call up.

Kinda makes me want another C next draft

At the same time, a C-Line of Suzuki Monahan Newhook wouldn’t be a disaster and in fact better than most C-Line we had the last 20yrs. But yeah, loosing Dach long term would suck badly

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

not sure why they boo the kid. I really feel that is out of line.

Getting booed by Habs fans is a compliment

 

[Tyson]

Newhook jumping into the center spot last night was good. I like this kid.

 

[Paddy17]

A note...Marty should not be putting our two vets together on D. We have a young D squad, let's spread things out. I don't get his logic there.

Yeah, Guhle-Savard look better together, and Matheson with Kovacevic would be more balanced.

 

[negative77]

Loved the booing of Bedard, felt like a european football match. (Which is a good thing).

 

[Justin11]

I’ve always considered the booing of a player at the Bell centre as sign of respect and acknowledgment of their talent.

As well they boo the ex-Habs players back for the first time since the trade etc.

 

[FloJack]

There was also Gallagher’s expanded bald spot, visible at the end of the pre-game ceremony. It has somehow taken the shape of a rectangle.

In honor of that moment …

Look man, attack the on ice product, not the hairline. GROW UP RUNNER!!!11

 

[Redux91]

Check out these face off numbers damn lol
Monahan 14 - 2
Evans 11- 3
Suzuki 6 - 2
Newhook 4 - 2
Dach 0 - 1 (aw lol)

Bedard 1 - 8 *

 

[Runner77]

doberly will be in the next edition of the dictionary. It will defined as mangling a national anthem.

During the pre-game forum commentary, @KevSkillz4 offered this gem: "It's Ginette Reno from Wish".

Heard the first boos on a PP (could be wrong) andI think that the minding is to try to get the young kid off his game, right or wrong?

Gotta think some meatheads are there in the stands as well who didn't think through that android it just as sheep, or from a lack of class to begin with.

 

[The Real Timo]

What’s the scoop on Curvy Duck today?

Look man, attack the on ice product, not the hairline. GROW UP RUNNER!!!11

If you're Irish, you end up going bald, or, at least, with that monk hairdo. Fact of life. Living it myself and it's only 12.5% Irish blood.

Not releasing anything yet, I don't think. Also looking for some news on that. Importantinfofor next draft

I am like 75% Irish. I am older than Gallagher and fairing better, but watching it change is tough. But at the end of the day, first world problem and I am happy to joke about everything, especially myself. Which I guess is also a pretty Irish trait? It's also become a joke I make on here due to some fun interactions with @OldCraig71. So I play up the defence and sadness of balding.

Regardless, people have far worse things going on health wise than hair loss. I will count my stars and knock on wood for the time being.

 

[The Real Timo]

Romanov never got injured. And he hit like a truck. Just say in’

There are things that involve probing. I’m not a fan.

I’d do it again, tell you the truth. It’s a great trade, we don’t have anyone close to a Dach (big C, puck possession player, etc) in the system anyway.

I know it’s tongue in cheek and for fun. Don’t sweat it, he’ll be ok. We are due for some form of luck injury wise… I mean someday our players won’t be the ones to break every single man’s lost every year

I also think that self-derision is an Irish trait. It actually belies confidence to be able to do that. Plus, it's endearing, more so than just poking fun at others.

Hey guys, coming in peace etc. despite the avatar

Just seen the highlights, seems like your lot looked better against the Hawks for most of the game than the Bruins! Was wondering though, was there any particular reason for booing Bedard? Or just, like, out of principle? I'm admittedly grunching here.

You play in the NHL like that they boo you. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Elite players, we have a special boo for elite players. You are stealing the puck: right to boo'd. You are playing music too loud in the Habs locker room: boo'd, but a few years later, after leaving the team. Skating too fast: boo'd. Slow: boo'd. You are charging too high prices for sweaters: boo'd. You drafted Fischer? Believe it or not, boo'd. You left Montreal to play somewhere else, also boo'd. Personal decision or simply not extended. Underpaid, overpaid. You want to sign with Montreal but Bergevin doesn't like you, believe it or not, boo'd, right away. We have the best fans in the world because of boo'd.

But yeah, mostly a weird kind of compliment most of the time. However, if a Bruins get boo'd at the Bell, it is probably not a compliment (mayyyybe for Bergeron, definitely not for Chara back in the day!).

.750 record. I can see that holding until da playoffs

This record is as sustainable as RHP's S% from last season
