Post-Game Talk: Habs lose and wings stay alive

[LaP]

Holy shit, they managed to blow it. Wow. Never shall I lose faith again.

Detroit will be going all out tomorrow. Should be a fun game. Gallagher, Anderson, RHP and Pezz with 2 goals each.

Switched to the baseball game after the 4th goal and i'm as amaze as you about them losing this one. What a great time to be alive

 

[McGees]

I hope Marty's not gonna give us the "we won" bs. Team was utterly dominated.

Good for Slaf. He needs someone in the league to go toe to toe with him. I like Seider's play. Freaking insane player and Slaf did win his board battles with Seider but then paid the price physically too. He'll look forward to it tomorrow again.

I think Dach also has an on-going beef with Seider dating to hiw Hawks days. I agree that it will be interesting to watch how Slaf adjusts tomorrow.

I can't wait for the chips to fall and the lottery to conclude so we can just enjoy whatever player we get. I think the wings win the next one tbh

 

[McGees]

Montembeault has been struggling lately.
Primeau and Dobes are the future.

Primeau and Dobes Fowler are the future.

 

[McGees]

Hutson has already convinced me he's ready. I would try and move Harris, and leave Mailloux in AHL for another year to work on his defensive game. Reinbacher in AHL too.

Start with 8D:

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Struble-Kovacevic

I'm trading Barron/Kovasevic. I think Harris can play either side.

 

[The Real Timo]

I couldn't watch the third. Did Habs completely mail it in? Or did Wings wake up and actually took it to them with all their might? What happened?

 

[Runner77]

Im no vegatarion but I do think trophy hunters like that sicko who tortured a wolf, brought it to a bar and then ran it over have a special place in hell but killing octopuses a creature that is highly intelligent and capable of complex emotions is right up there with people who eat shark fin soup.

This calls for a new age transformer who will protect octupi from flinging Wingnuts.

Introducing ...

Holy shit... Habs recalled Mallioux for the last game. Who's out?

Started Evans and Anderson in OT?

But of course everyone already knew because there is a whole f***ing thread about it... sigh... i DO live under the rock.

 

[Runner77]

I've seen him do that dozens of times from @montreal 's videos. I'm quite glad to see that he's not afraid to play his game against the big boys.

There seems to be a little hesitation by Savard just as Hutson is skating by him -- he's not sure what Hutson is trying to do but of course, he saw an opening on the right side and knew he could exploit it. A brilliant piece of playmaking.

Same story as with the Ottawa game.

We got worked, hard.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Against playoff-watch teams, Habs won’t get the calls ever. Nothing new. When we were the ones in that seat, we would get the calls against non-playoff teams. Refs don’t want to influence the outcome of those games. Lots of money involved for the teams.

Shame that "not influencing" the game is actually completely influencing it

 

[Guy Larose]

No he’s not

#cueagenda

He's been on a "trade MM" crusade in every thread he can. Bad news for him, they aren't trading him, they want to be competitive next year.

 

[Lolonegoal]

Montembeault has been struggling lately.
Primeau and Dobes are the future.

That's a weird way of spelling Fowler.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

Quite obvious to me that the Habs largest weakness has not been at forward the whole season. It's the D. Our D just can't play D. There's basically only Savard that can actually defend.

I also don't know wtf Dvorak was doing on the 4th goal there. Gave Raymond all the time in the world to score.

That's multiple 3 goal leads the Habs squander like this. They were completely flat in the third. Just let the Wings dictate the pace of the game. Just can't do this.
Hudson didn't look out of place too. So that was nice.

Our 4th line is also ass. Blow it up.

Should have def lost this in regular time. What's the point of going to OT if you're not gonna bother anyways. Only Hudson tried anything.

 

[Nicko999]

Hutson did the right play on the OT loss play. He went for the goal. Nothing wrong with that. This kid is gonna be a nightmare matchup for the opposing defence and goaltenders.

I agree with you it was the right play.
But it's funny how the narrative changes had Matheson done the same play.

I liked what I saw from Hutson. Definitely sky high potential.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

Doe

I think he may get exposed a bit defensively at the NHL level throughout a full season. I don’t see Marty being patient if pucks are ending up in the back of our net. But who knows. What they do in the off-season may have an impact on that.

Doesn't seem to mind with Matheson.

Wings took it to them, and well, Monty was not very good on those last 3 goals.......
Anyhow, we are still in 5th spot for the lottery....

 

[BLONG7]

Started Evans and Anderson in OT?

That was strange.................really seemed we did not to win at that point....and remembering back the last game, CC and Suzy mailing it in, in the SO loss.

 

[Whitesnake]

What? He made atleast 10 key saves through traffic to keep them in it.

wow...surely the only goalie in this league that has been able to do that. Oh and that 10 number you gave me....jsut based on nothing. All great to come up with a even number, it doesn't make it more right. He could have done more. And lately...his play is concerning.

The reality is before last game that the bulk of the current roster is not likely to be here when this team is hopefully a contender. It takes longer to develop blueliners then forwards so that's why I think we could be looking at years before contending because it's likely going to take some before all these young D find their way in the NHL.

 

[jrom]

It’s actually a great idea, we should have done this more often !

With all the excitement about our deep D pool, the forgotten prospect in all of this is Engstrom who iirc had a good showing at this year's camp. I don't know much about contracts, eligibility etc. but, is he eligible to play for the Rocket next year?
