Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Wild in OT

[SlafySZN]

When was the last time Caufield one timed a shot? Maybe his shoulder is bothering him. Rossi is gonna be a beast

Against the islanders when he scored.

On the PP? A long time. They don’t seems to pass him the puck for the one timer.

 

[salbutera]

Another game, another ot.
Right now, our pk is hurting us way more than our pp.
Refs got fooled by dives way too often. At least 3 blatant embellishments.

Our first line was decent but the other lines did not generate much.
Stephens is pretty useless.

Habs are missing Dach & Newhook…. they’re doing pretty damn good with players slotted out of position

Me really thinks our tit-cul’s shoulder is still hurtin.

Might…but I think teams know Caufields tendencies now and G have been prepped to expect shots based on those tendencies.

NHL has adjusted to Caufield, it’s now time for the player to readjust…

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

MLS will make everything to get the players to get into the game in the game and or euhh, I didn't quite understand, whatever ...

I see old LP, I like.

 

[Beaker]

Also, not to stir anything up… I think he’s our most talented player… but 96.9 radio said Caufield is living in a condo in the heart of a nightlife district in Montreal and essentially inferred he isn’t 100% invested in hockey at the moment - compared it to the phase Carey Price went through in his early years

 

[tazsub3]

Gréât effort Z thé refs were beyond horrible . But it’s ok that team is improving . Struble was impressive tonight

 

[FLHabs]

The fact that they aren't even trying to set it up is revealing.

Yea, something is up. I know Matheson isn't the best QB, but I can't remember the last Caufield PP one timer attempt

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Kent use that phone to get an offensive talent !

beep beep boop beep boop, hello, yes I'll have one offensive talent please

 

[Rapala]

Once again Struble executed a number of excellent exits with his vision and his feet to get us out of deep deep doo doo.

You don’t lose the ability to score just like that. I’ve got to think it’s a question of time before he breaks out.

 

[salbutera]

Probably because that’s what every team is expecting & overplaying

 

[zx81]

Wild got 14 powerplays (5 goals) in 2 games against us. Ouch.

 

[SlafySZN]

Probably, but now it’s even more predictable. At least last year he could shoot it like 2-3 times and it would go in once in a while because he has a great shot. Would be better than whatever burrows is trying now

 

[Rapala]

Wild got 14 powerplays (5 goals) in 2 games against us. Ouch.

Easy peasy when a lost faceoff results in a double screen and both of those players are Habs. Goal seconds into the PP.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Another game where only the Suzuki line is creating anything up front. This season could have been so much more with Kirby. Bleh

Armia can kick rocks. The guy just stinks and I get physically mad watching him sleep walk around the ice.

Struble is very good, like very good. So a trade has to happen. The Habs trading young defenseman for forward help has worked out in the past. McDonagh for Gomez and Sergachev for Drouin (I want to jump off a bridge)

Good effort tonight when they were on their B game. They aren't making the playoffs but I guess this is good for morale so hooray.

Slaf have a strange voice, he sounds like when medias use a filter to not recongnise a voice.

Agree except the McDonagh for Gomez and Sergachev for Drouin, lol, seems like not the best examples but I get the idea.

 

[calder candidate]

Well ref were horrible… they had some bad call from both side the MTL really got the wrong end. If your going to call that interference on Matheson than they missed a few dozen call, and cross check for CC not only was it weak but the guy didn’t felt in the direction he got push, and that icing at the end not even if actually crossed it and the wild player was waiting try no touch it…

Slaf getting some result
Guy that might attract some trade interest
Monahan, Evans, Savard all played great.

Ultimately we just forgot people alone around the net… We weren’t physical enough early.

It great for Slaf but all the extra point will likely be the difference between a top 10 or a top 5 pick…

"just like that" as in shoulder surgery? Yes, shoulder surgeries do that.

 

[The Real Timo]

Team wasn’t ready to play in the beginning. Again.

CC with another bad game. Kaprizovs goal is on him. He had plenty of time to recover after that minor interference. He needs to get his head out of his ass and start putting In Some work.

Struble was very solid. Guhle was good too. Rest of D blows chunks.

Slaf with another huge game.

Would you like fries with that?

 

[JRichard]

Well 5/14 vs 1/10 is not that unusual… too many pp if you ask me but it kind of serves Habs since it puts the same players on ice like Matheson 29 mins with 6 mins on pp, absurd. Heineman and Ylonen barely played 6 mins. Struble doesnt play any special teams so barely played.

Suzuki was our best player in this one from my stand point.
He's trying hard to slowly claw his way back into the PPG conversation.
A tough task given we don't put up high goal totals.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Definitely not a battle of goalies.

Slaf gets one and Nick does too

Uneventful at most.

How was this game uneventful?

 

[LaP]

It's scary how strong Slaf will be when he'll be 23-24. He's already displacing players without effort.
