Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the A-Hos in shootout

[NHL]

Mete didnt show any improvement from last year. Probably the biggest disapointement from tonight IMO

 

[habergeon]

Suzuki needs a set of balls. The guy is so damn soft. Didn't expect much but that was horrible display.

It was his first NHL game, which I’ve read can be overwhelming.

It was also almost playoff caliber. His line also drew top pair D and shutdown forwards. No one on this line looked great.

He didn’t shine, but give him time.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Chiarot had a solid game. It will take some time for him and Petry to mesh and play off each other

A solid game , what the hell ? Did you watch the game ? He was god awful.

 

[The Nightman]

Gallagher, Weber, Mete, Chiarot and Danault were horrific tonight. Fun game though!

 

[Deebs]

Petry is better than him

He is offensively, but not in his own zone. That's quite apparent

 

[vHAB]

The Good:

Tatar
Drouin
Kotkaniemi
Armia
Weal
Thompson
Petry
Fleury
Price

The rest were varying levels of underwhelming, bad or invisible. Overall a good first game, really fun to watch. Glad to have hockey back!

loser point

Yeah it's hard to project in the lower leagues if a players physical will translate when they are so offensively gifted.

He looked like the smartest and most inexperienced guy on the ice tonight.

 

[vokiel]

Wtf is Tremblay talking about giving his first star to Chiarot did he even watch the game what is going on there

He's old, let it be.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

He is offensively, but not in his own zone. That's quite apparent

Weber was lost all night in his own zone and he can barely make a breakout pass, he relies too heavily on Mette to always recover the puck for him and break it out lol

 

[Rapala]

That #20 was pretty damn good

He would have scored on that breakaway if they let him keep #83.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Yes, we didn't get the extra point from winning the gimmick.

But we did get a point for tying the actual hockey game. Otherwise, why did we get a point tonight?

Whocares about the point? Did it matter when we were two points shy last year? Could we have used a few extra points? We lost. They got two points to our one. There are no ties anymore.

 

[Michoulicious]

Everyone saying Byron sucks in shootouts, but he has the best stats on the team.

53% career-wise is pretty elite.

Kovalev was 48%
Koivu 23%
Cammalleri 35.4%

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

FYI @Mrb1p my last post in that thread complimented the whole line. I couldn’t post because my stream was behind.

 

[Deebs]

Suzuki needs a set of balls. The guy is so damn soft. Didn't expect much but that was horrible display.

I think once he figures out the speed and timing of the NHL, he'll use his body better.

 

[MXD]

Well, that was rather fun at least!

 

[JianYang]

53% in shootouts career-wise is pretty good.

It's actually an excellent percentage but I'd wager that his execution on shootouts coming in slow is closer to 0%

 

[Rapala]

Wtf is Tremblay talking about giving his first star to Chiarot did he even watch the game what is going on there

It's called a Bergy point. Kinda like milk bones.

 

[26Mats]

Not upset with the outcome, but that tying goal because of a too many men penalty... man, that was dumb.

It happened a few too many times last year.

Hopefully it happening in the first game means they'll have a real mental note in their minds and not let it happen again.

 

[Luigi Habs]

We might not have a great top 6, but our bottom 6 is very very solid.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Gallagher, Weber, Mete, Chiarot and Danault were horrific tonight. Fun game though!

That's an exaggeration. Out of that group Mete had a bad game.

 

[Canadienna]

I liked the TDG line tonight personally.

 

[Saundies]

Great game, unfortunate shootout result.

Good
Drouin - KK - Armia line
Fleury
Tatar
Thompson
Weal
Petry

Meh
Gallagher
Price (good in nets, bad when handling the puck)
Danault (didn't do much)
Suzuki
Kulak
Lehkonen

Bad
Domi
Chiarot
Weber
Mete
Byron

 

[Runner77]

Yeah, this game was a treat to watch.

I remember we'd get one of those every two or three years during the dead puck era. I'm very happy with where the league is heading now.

Result could have gone either way. I don't like to have lost the second point however when it's a game like we've seen, you can't help but feel good about it.

 

[Tabarouette]

if Drouin can line up a couple like those I might, maybe, possibly consider slowing down the hate train

stop with the pointless dekes tho
