Post-Game Talk: Habs lose 3-2 to TB

[Gravity]

Lekhonen is more infuriating in person than on TV let me tell you. Nearly had an aneurysm watching him with two clear cut chances (one breakaway at that) result in 0 shots on goal.
CC fumbling the puck at critical times.
Suzuki and Hoffman were good.
Savard gaveth and then tooketh away.

Also most of all I hate that I love Perry. Was hoping for 0 points but of course he's clutch and nets the tier.

I’m f***ing freaking out about CC. The kid is not like Teflon, he can’t continue to be here with hope it doesn’t break his confidence. I’m probably over reacting; our track record with goal scoring winger prospects is down right abysmal. If they start preaching his 2 way game, I’ll lose my f***ing mind.

You don't need to worry much anymore now that Gorton is here. I think he'll be fine and finally feel that the org outside of Ducharme will act in his best interest.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

The team has really missed his presence on and off the ice. The team lacks leaders in the locker room.

How's the restaurant, yummy and pricey?

I would've expected Bergevin to keep him with this putrid team all year and destroy his confidence for good, but having someone competent in charge who's used to work with talented kids makes me feel way better about the whole thing. I'm confident Gorton will make the right call soon.

What happened? I was watching the whole game but had to leave with four minutes left. Then I come back to to the final details and couldn't believe it.

Geez ... that loss hurts.

TB pulls goalie. Brutal breakaway pass from Hoffman to Drouin. Should have got 3rd goal, but didn't.

Instead, TB comes back into our zone. Stamkos cross feed pass to Perry at net front. Goal. 2-2.

Montreal then aggressively takes the puck into TB's zone. Puck comes around the boards to Savard's area. He decides to stand up his man, which he does, but puck gets by him.

Now, it's a race & odd man rush with players chasing. Dauphin is late on Palat who's in all alone. Goal. 3-2. 30 seconds left. Game over.

But on the plus side, I had a nice dinner with lava cake.

Good times!

Grinder, perfect name for a strip joint, or cannabis shop.

I made myself an omelet and had a bit of chocolate for dessert.

You control what you can my friend.

My work had a team party for the first time in two years... kinda crazy how much we've grown. Nice to get out for some beers and stuff. Anyways, I missed the game. I think I've seen next to nothing this year... for various reasons. That hasn't happened in years but I guess if you're going to miss a season, this would be the one to miss.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

He fired a bullet off The Michelin Man's shaft. Give him a break on that one.

Wasn't the blocker first and then the shaft?

His breakaway should've counted as a SOG, it hit the goalies stick.

 

[Guess]

Sadly this Armia who keep possession and win his puck battle on the board shows up 1 game out of 15. I still wonder what Bergevin saw in him to give him that deal.

bigness

Looked like he missed completely lol but maybe I'm wrong.

Watching on TV I thought so too at first, but with the replay it was clearly a save by the goalie.

I'm going to my 1st Christmas party in 2 years on Saturday. Looking forward to it.

At least he has the skating ability to create break-a-ways. How many other players on this rather pedestrian team have that ability? I never complain about players who miss goal scoring chances, only those who never get them in the first place.

Michel Therrien approved!

Dvorak on IR, feels like Gorton is making sure players take their time to heal.

He shot on net on the breakaway, Vasilevskiy saved it with the shaft of his stick.

Are you sure he's on IR? I couldn't find anything confirming it. He's supposed to be re-evaluated tomorrow.

Maybe I read some clickbait on my newsfeed, I don't see it anymore. I guess he's not on IR yet but I bet he will be, as I really hope Gorton is taking tanking seriously.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Why do we always seem to just clock out against Tampa?

Tyler Johnson's last-second GWG in Game 3

Blake Coleman's last-second GWG (in the 2nd period) in Game 2

And now this.

Jon Cooper can outcoach us in his sleep.

 

[Archijerej]

Didn't watch the game yet. How did Clague look besides his gaffe on the first goal?
