Post-Game Talk: Habs lose in Oiltown

[OldCraig71]

Whatever the Oilers think they are, they are not.

Again a point in a meaningless season, but I won’t tell the players that. They came to play as usual.

The Oilers are much better than we saw tonight, they played on cruise control for most of the game and that isn't meant as a slight toward our young Habs but they have so many weapons over there.

Drai didn't look real happy after scoring that OT winner. He knows he had a lackluster game and his team were lucky to get the 2 points tonight.

I really hope Monty plays like this when the Habs are finally ready to be competitive. Very good game for Armia. I'm not gonna fault him for the penalty.

Gotta love how competitive the team was, taking one of the league's top teams to OT.

So much for the "toughest" schedule ahead.

 

[Adam Michaels]

They lost like winners tonight, even if they had lost in regulation. They played great and went toe-to-toe with one of the league's best teams.

-Me: Damn, I hope the Habs don't play in OT tonight

It's been rough these past three seasons being far from good.

We have good young players & prospects though so the future should be much better.

Next season though? I think it will still be a rough one.

Hard to be mad tonight.
Great effort by the guys.
Tough luck on that 4 min penalty.
Maybe the rule should be amended because it was pretty ridiculous to get penalized on something caused by an interference from a player of the other team.

Anyway this was a fun game nonetheless

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Played well. Per usual Oilers had to be gifted PPs in order to win. That 4 minutes call was absolutele bullshit. The hook was even worse considering the refs ignored a blatant trip on Montreal 10 seconds before it.

Oilers going out 2nd round again.

Evans played a great game. Loved the give & go between Slafkovsky & Suzuki for Suzuki's goal. Guhle's was nice too.

 

[Rapala]

Oilers could interfere, Habs weren’t allowed to.

I love how Slaf bowled his way through it. We haven't had a forward who could do that since John LeClaire.

Guhle was outstanding tonight.

That is what I expect from a RESPONSIBLE Dman. He has always been far better than Mike Matheson at knowing when to go.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Gotta sit down with Nick these single point games aren't getting it done.

Give him shit man!

 

[David Suzuki]

Nice result -- still unsure what the f*** Armia is supposed to do there lol... Man I hate refs.

 

[FloJack]

I love how Slaf bowled his way through it. We haven't had a forward who could do that since John LeClaire.

Beautiful progress from him, it really has been a treat.

But the whole team is coming along in certain ways and that too is quite something. Still lots of work to do but the organization might be on to something.

 

[Gustave]

Tell you the truth, they look like the team that decomposes in the last 5 playoffs I’ve seen them lose in.

They don’t scare anyone.

2 offsetting minors was what I saw.

Guhle is already our best blueliner and has been for some time.

 

[David Suzuki]

If that... If someone hits you from behind and your stick hits them in the face it isn't matching penalites...

The Oiler committed the infraction that caused the penalty. Very obvious decision unless you're an attention seeking sicko like NHL refs are.

 

[Runner77]

Straight from the home office lol.

Just like Mitch from downtown, in Glengarry Glen Ross.

 

[FLHabs]

Great game, Habs played really hard and physical. Slaf was imposing his will along the boards and Suzuki was being Suzuki although he did get beat by the best player in the world at the end there.

Armia had a great game too, he needs to play like that every game next year. The whole Newhook line really stepped up, and you can see how much better the team is rolling when it's not all on the first line. Newhook - Dach - Armia could make for a good second line next year.

 

[FloJack]

Also, I’m falling for another Roy in a Habs jersey.

 

[Rapala]

Oh and Congrats Nick Suzuki on a new career high for goals scored. Many more my Man!

 

[Runner77]

You mean ... they had them where they wanted them.

Except for real this time.

Great movie but so sad.

KJ. King Joshua.

I dunno, anything but "wawa".

 

[Rapala]

Yeah. It was just bad luck.
I was saying in the GDT I don't get why people are ragging on Armia.
I'll go even further saying I have NO INTEREST in trading this Joel Armia.

Rules clearly state a player is responsible for his stick at ALL times, but Kane should’ve received an interference call offsetting the PP IMO
