Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat the Rags at MSG

[Tyson]

Fans can hope for the tank but that memo isn't being sent to the coaches and the team.
Good to see a good effort. Habs are winning with 4 rookie D against a supposed upper tier team that is well rested. No way I would cheer against them to lose.

 

[Kimota]

Unfortunately Habs always perform well against the Rangers. I cannot get totally mad about it. It's like playing against your brother. It's special and you want to beat him.

 

[ZUKI]

At least Vancouver won.

are you sure it wasn't the game result of a previous season ?

I told Molson to send the f***ing memo after Bedard's performance at the Worlds.

He told me:"I don't care people are gonna buy my beer no matter what".

We will be good in two years and maybe great in three. It depends on this coming draft which is critical, goaltending, and players health. With guys like Beck and Mesar waiting in the wings we should have some very interesting options in terms of trade bait to help fill the voids.

Roy with 3 more points today. Kidney is on fire currently with his new team. Mailloux is developing well. Hutson and Farrell in the NCAA.
Habs do need a legit goalie prospect. Maybe it's Dobes.
Alot of good pieces.

In french we have a dicton that says " il faut battre son frère tandis qu'il est chaud"

Team played pretty well. They worked hard.

Barron is looking pretty good these days. RHD are gold in this league, especially ones that could add transition/offense. Lehkonen deal might not be a loss after all.

Ylonen needs to stay up too.

Montembeault is a backup in this league. He's been pretty solid for awhile now. He has his off games but they're becoming fewer and fewer. Plus, most goalies have off - games.

It doesn't looks like Montreal will catch the bottom 5 teams now. Goal should be to stay where we are.

Vancouver scored with 17 seconds left and won in a shootout versus Carolina, so thankfully we didn't pass them.

Agreed there is some blatant tanking going on. Teams who have more talent than we do unashamedly crapping the bed.

 

[zx81]

I missed that. What was the context?

Counting the shots in the game when talking about the performance of both goalies.

Neither the top 5 teams

I'm french and I never heard this expression before. That's awesome.

Beat your brother when he's hot. lol

Exactly no way do all of these players end up on roster unless they fill some roles we are lacking in. We need upgrades on Anderson and Armia without losing the skating and size. We need a real 4th line who can play long stretches in the other end of the rink, We all saw how a transition team had next to zero chance against a solid possesion team in the SCF.

 

[sampollock]

Slaf needs to go down now

LOL I instantly read when he's drunk.

I like seeing them play a good game here and there and even when we lose, our young guys are giving a solid effort and that is good to see.

 

[ReHabs]

Habs will lose more than they win so we’re still liable to go down the standings.

Eddy and Anderson need to be sold asap. Dvorak needs to go too.

There is this obsession with 20, no clue as to why. I watched the last 4 games and he’s at least up to par with many vets. And Laval has f*** ALL in talent. Like f***-e awle. You guys want him to learn from the great Belzile? Who would centre him?

"The Great Belzile" cracked me up

I was hoping with Dach moving to C which is likely to continue for a while they'd give Slaf some shifts up top where we all hope he can end up.

Xhekaj is such a great find for this organization

It’s not about learning from other players, it’s about playing at a level that’s more suitable for him so he could play top6 minutes and touch the puck more. He’s got to develop his playmaking abilities.

Our vets are garbage, it isn’t the right framework to compare the struggling 1OA with the vets who have one foot on the golf course and retirement.

He's making fewer errors as the season progresses. Keeping him as far away from Wideman as possible can only help.

That's a Jean Perron quote? The true idiom is "Battre le fer quand il est chaud" as in strike the iron while it's hot.

We could of lost this game and you would have had zero complaints from me and some others I'm sure.

Our vets are better than the shit we have in Laval.

Kid is fine. He looked better than hot shot Laf from the Rags, and he’s 18. So he took some penalties, who gives a shit. He will not learn anything in Laval. Not with the surrounding lineup. If we had more prospects down there, I would have said fine. Maybe. But not this bunch.

The only question I have is : any news on his injury from the coach?
