Post-Game Talk: Habs keep Ovi under 700 (4-3 OTW)

[Krnage]

the bad new is that habs facing the senators saturday night... we might win again

 

[SquiddFX]

I think the Habs should change their logo to a guy receiving the Heimlich maneuver the rate they keep choking

 

[HelloBellyvo]

After a game like this...happy and sad at the same time! Go figure

I guess i'm ambivalent

 

[Kimota]

Let's just say he waited quite late in the season to do stuff like that. Too late now.

It’s good that Toronto won tonight. We would have been only 6 points apart and still 2 more games against them.

The playoffs hope would have been very much alive.

It boggles my mind the habs and leafs are that close, after two 8 game losing streaks.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Holtby's confidence looks shot. I don't understand why the Caps coach does not play Samsonov more. He is obsessive about riding a wonky Holtby. I had him on my fantasy teams, and perversely, ESPN considered him undroppable until recently. Absolute boat anchor on my teams, while also being untradable.

 

[Max2]

it was automatically reviewed by the league...

Either they got it wrong or he hit the puck. If he hit the pad, this league (or the people who run it) is a just a really unfunny joke.

The league is definitely a joke.If that was a Leaf goalie it would've been waived off asap you can bet on it.

as bad as we've played, it's amazing how we're still almost close. A good streak by us (not expecting it) and a bad streak by Florida and Toronto and we're actually back in it. Those Dallas and Detroit choke jobs were killers.

Or Boston...

Wow! What luxury! Weal, Cousins, Byron!

I know Cousins and Weal have been overused for our liking. But Lehkonen scratched could also mean that Habs were showcasing Cousins and Weal.

The Habs could have all the 4th round picks in a draft, and not one single good player will come out of it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Suzuki needs to battle harder. He is softer than my pillow along the boards. I know his fans boys are going to roast me for this but it is true.

He still needs to get a bit stronger. Didn't help that Kulak picked him on that play (Eller goal). Kulak had a chance to clear when Caps had an empty net and just gave the puck back.

He sucks.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'd rather have the 4th round picks instead of Weal and Cousins. I like Cousins more than Weal. But I'd still move him. Would rather have the picks.

I guess your saying that was a Bergevin call?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Possible.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well #8 scored 2 goals tonight!!



.... oh wait.

Held Ovy @ 699!

It's pretty telling that had we simply swept Detroit this season we would be in the playoff picture. Never mind some of the choke jobs like the Dallas Game or the one against the Rangers in November.

He sucks.

Kulak simply shouldn't be more than a depth player on a playoff team. He hasnt shown anything more than being able to handle that type of role on a consistent basis.

Just checked and he played 27 minutes! Damn. lol

Our D really has no depth when a guy like Kulak plays that much. Now even Ouellet is out. Mete is out. Scandella was traded.

So we have:

Chiarot -- Weber
Kulak -- Petry
Alzner? -- Folin

Bergevin might need to make a trade simply because we don't have 6 D.

Calling Alzner will do the job.

 

[Omar]

Something nobody is talking about- the last Habs win in regulation was February 1st!!! Every win since has been OT or SO. Not good for ROWs.

 

[Archijerej]

It was Petry.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

What a useless win.
