Post-Game Talk: Habs Out-pen Pens in 5-1 Spanking -- Lord Byron Rules!

[Lycanthrope]

I am very very pleased with the effort and consequent results from our boys. I hope I never see another Lose for Hughes post. Barf....I don’t watch them hoping they lose. I can never understand that mentality, especially when the season just began. I can see it if you are far gone and the season is winding down, but not game 1-2.

Amen!

Most of the things Drouin does that makes him so hard to like is "fixable". He could learn if he was actually open to it and not full of himself. This is why I had Merkley as a ND tbh. He's not near as talented as Drouin but twice the headcase.

I mean, how much of a self centered ***** do you have to be to play mich worse than he is currently and refuse to be demoted to the AHL. Guy thinks hes above that. Even Kucherov played games down there.

I don't think it's fixable at this point tbh. Of course he could always surprise, but I have no expectations of him becoming that elite player. I miss Sergachev. Sure he has his warts, but he is exactly what the Habs need right now.

Just an impressive win. Tough to sustain so much rhythm but for the time it lasts....it's damn interesting. Fun hockey seems to be back boys!

I don't know if Drouin's problems are a lack of effort or a lack of hockey sense. Maybe sometimes he doesn't make the play because he just doesn't see the play. Maybe him trying to get fancy is just he doesn't see the direct play that's right in front of his face to be made. I'm still not sure.

The few, few times where he's simplified his game, he looked good. He actually has decent vision when he doesn't think he's more talented than a team of NHLers, all of which also dominated junior like he did. Its like he cant get over the fact he's just not that skilled anymore. Its ego.

Didn't see the game. Going to tomorrow morning. Had a romantic evening with wifey. How was the kid?

You mean I was supposed to watch it when you were out? I thought you already had a babysitter.

lol BTW, kids are 25 and 24, sooooo....no babysitter. No mo' kids at home!

Drouin and Peca are the only forwards that remain pointless.

 

[greyboy67]

I hope you're right.

We all suffer from recency bias—we think that whatever just happened will continue to happen.

J2K will have his ups and downs. But he's going to be a star—whether it's this year or next, it's going to happen.

Good lord, he's 18 years old! Has he even finished high school?

He has two years remaining.

First year when they leave is tough but after that it is very nice.

This is the type of hockey the fans want to see win or lose..go for it ..Thanks Ducharme...Thanks Claude for keeping an open mind...

Drouin saving it for home opener...2 goals

 

[snakeye]

Just watched the highlights .. Who's this clown calling kotkaniemi "katkawlimieni" or something??

 

[Adam Michaels]

Mike Sullivan in his presser said it will be very difficult to play against Montreal this year. He said they're quick, structured, and they work really hard.

 

[CapSpace]

Auston is that you?

Hell no it's me you called.

 

[Habsawce]

Mike Reilly has really impressed me. That kid has a lot of upside.

Penguins allowing 11 goals against in two games.

we are seeing the effects of Ducharme....

 

[Habs10Habs]

I mentioned this in the pre-season. But I"m loving what Luke Richardson has done to our defense. Wish we would have punted JJD years ago.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Good game. Well done.

its so early...these game wont be remembered...

 

[Forum93]

Great win tonight, even Benn had a good game . 5 goals for, 1 against, Drouin the only player who managed to end up with a minus

Byron worth every penny

 

[buddahsmoka1]

And I was mocked when I stressed how skilled Domi was.

 

[peate]

No game till Thursday.
