Post-Game Talk: Habs spank Blues 5-2 in a great collective effort!

[Phil Parent]

You need to refresh your standings page.

Correct. It wasn't updated when I checked.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Blues should sign over the Stanley Cup to the Habs. Forfeight their rights.

 

[HelloBellyvo]

That looked like vintage Price. good game

 

[Capz]

Still early, but I like the way things are looking outside of that Detroit game. Hopefully we can find a LD somewhere without giving up too much.

 

[Runner77]

Awesome game.

So much to like.

KK really dominated. He had a crucial assist on the Drouin goal that set the tone.
Suzuki of course, coming back with a 2nd goal in 2 games -- making a statement. Only a few days ago, he was on the demotion radar.
Price as well, made several key saves.

 

[Habssince89]

I'd like Julien to try Reilly on the right side next to Chiarot.

You might be alone on that

Imagine what this team could do with a top LD

If they play like this for 20 more games, Bergevin better get one. Finish 8th overall or higher, or last. Not 17th again.

 

[ZUKI]

we're skilled, we're classy, we're gritty, we're good lookin.

What doesn't this habs team have?

Pom Pom girls dancing in the Bell center ?

 

[jj cale]

Elite talent that produces enough to crack the top 20/30 point getters in the NHL. We could also use a mobile LD that actually produces points on a consistent basis...

Yes I know but I am trying to enjoy the moment and be positive.

heh heh...................that would be about it.

 

[Pickles]

Speed kills. They were just too fast for the Blues.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Lol, the no look cross ice pass from Kotkaniemi. ''He's not a good playmaker.''

 

[26Mats]

We've got a better record than the leafs through 8 games.

With our division/conference being so strong, we may have to beat out a Boston, Tampa or Toronto caliber team.

That or snag a wild card spot.

Positivity is a gateway drug to accepting mediocrity....

I won't rain on your parade , there are definitely some positive signs so far this season. We can enjoy this win and it's well deserved.

 

[Mrb1p]

Really nice game.

KK showed the naysayers in the KK thread all the talent he had. Just wish hed shoot more now.

don't worry, i'll never accept mediocrity from this team.

 

[Runner77]

out of all the forwards Drouin had the least minutes (12:45). Anyone know why?

It was noticed:



Resting him on account of the back to back games?

 

[HelloBellyvo]

In a good way

My gut tells me that when the Habs are up on their opponent, Drouin's ice-time gets cut. When they are behind, its increased.

 

[Archijerej]

Speed kills. They were just too fast for the Blues.

Nah, they disrupted us quite regularly in the first period and Price had to be sharp. I thought the game could have went in any direction. Second goal was as important as it was lucky.

 

[Tuggy]

Nice win.

 

[CauZuki]

Pom Pom girls dancing in the Bell center ?

Hey! Hey! Come on now, we don't tolerate this kind of sexist and misogynistic behaviour in today's NHL...We have female "on ice specialists" that happen to be appealing to the human eye! They are NOT "Pom Pom Girls"...

 

[Runner77]

Easy win, goal from Suzuki, great pass from Kotka to Drouin, Drouin with the goal !

Good game !

Plus this:

Mre ch@racter.

I think Folin is more steady. Hopefully Juulsen or Fleury will push Folin to the #7 spot soon enough.
