Post-Game Talk: Habs lose in Oiltown

[David Suzuki]

Rules clearly state a player is responsible for his stick at ALL times

I've never seen a player called for a slashing penalty after getting hit from behind as their stick slashes another player in my entire life.

 

[Runner77]

Great movie but so sad.

Yeah, can't help but feel bad for all of those who were easy preys for the scavengers in the movie.

That scene with the steak knives was epic -- it really stood out vs the rest of the film, which is rather slow and desolate.

 

[FloJack]

KJ. King Joshua.

I dunno, anything but "wawa".

I fully endorse the latter. Not sure about the former.

I dunno, Al Pacino spazzing on Kevin Spacey might be a more epic scene.

Plus Jack Lemmon inspiring Old Gill from the Simpsons.

High stick penalties do not require any judgment from the refs. They see the stick hits the face plus blood and it's an automatic 4 min penalty. Basically they say that you are responsible for your stick no matter what.

So you want a pp ? Hold an opponent stick and scratch your face with it. You'll get 2 minutes they'll get 4

 

[Runner77]

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.

I'd like to find out if THIS Yoelle, can start next season in the kind of form he's shown in the past 6 weeks.

Given how it's a contract year for him next year, I expect him to do it.

I fully endorse the latter. Not sure about the former.

Just like I fully endorse that crazed laughing individual that used to be your avy.

 

[Runner77]

That was fun.

You coming home late or the game?

You Casanova, you.

He can make it very hard for Hughes to decide what to do with him. Will we be able to find an adequate replacement.

 

[Durvann]

Armia stole the show before he pulled a Gallagher. Not blaming him though he was top line material.

Armia, Newhook, Roy line has been regularly interesting to watch.

Gally, Evans, Armia, Guhle were great.
Harris showed why he's played more than the other interchangeable def.
White, barely NHL level
Pez, barely used

Anderson, unbearable to watch. What an horrible contract.

 

[calder candidate]

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

If they can review for high stick why can’t they call Kane for interference?

 

[Runner77]

A guy with Yoelle's history, you can only sign him to a short deal -- and even then, maybe some other GM might offer more. I'm not convinced his current performances are sustainable just because there is a long history of him sitting on his beefy Bergevin contract.

 

[FloJack]

The biggest whiner to bitch moves ratio player in the NHL.

 

[MagicalDeck]

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

But everyone told Nick they want ppg

 

[Rapala]

A guy with Yoelle's history, you can only retain him with a short contract. I'm not convinced his current performances are sustainable just because there is a long history of him sitting on his beefy Bergevin contract.

Trying to decide if his mind set has changed for the good or if he feels he's an important part of this team all play into it.
Armia has never had a lack of talent. I'm always harping on the Size/Talent quotient on this club which makes it hard.

 

[calder candidate]

Yeah. It was just bad luck.

Armia has been one of our best player since coming back from Laval, he is been very noticeable lately but even when he isn’t he still isn’t hurting you.

 

[Rapala]

But everyone told Nick they want ppg

82 singletons is impossible to pull off.

 

[Habs10Habs]

You coming home late or the game?

You Casanova, you.

lol the game. Today was rough. I had to fire and have charged a long time employee. He's been stealing equipment, and selling it to a competitor for years. The estimate so far is in the 2 mil range.

 

[sampollock]

4 minutes for a stick in the crest

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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

That would've been the right call.

 

[sampollock]

Monty was a stud

That would've been the right call.

Yes, but he did not hit him in the face

 

[Habs10Habs]

The Oilers suck, hopefully Draisaitl wants out and we trade our 1st for him

IDK, does he fit our time frame?

*Inserts worlds largest sarcasm emoji*

 

[GrandBison]

When they go to review for the 4 min, they should look at the integral play, not only the high stick

 

[Rapala]

I forgot I wanted to talk about Kaiden's great shot placement.
I wish more of our forwards could exploit that spot.
It beats the hell out of those high and wide ones we continually see.

 

[teamfirst]

Welp, at least Guhle, Suzuki and Slaf got points!

And Monty had another great game

 

[sheed36]

Not sure if this is up to date or not but according to this from statmuse the Habs have 32 OT related points in 22 OT games played this season. The Leafs and B's tied for 1st with 33 points each. The Habs only have 15 regulation time wins in 68 games played. Yikes.

The top 10 for OT related points.

 

[Rapala]

And Monty had another great game

He's really only had that one game where he was not himself and looked out of position.
