Post-Game Talk: Habs win, but end of an era... Dan0 no more, now Danau1t

[le_sean]

If Chiarot is out for any length of time I'll be super disappointed if we think Ouelette is going to be the answer.

I don’t like Ouellet but he was the better defender between him and Mete during the play-ins. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a few games.

If Phil keeps having games like that as the 3c, he might start to like the role...

Armia complements him and Tatar much better than Lehkonen did in the return to play...

4th line could have used Lehky tonight in their own end though.

Whack schedule. They lose an hour going to Calgary. Puck drop 20 hours from now. (Or something like that)

The Leafs would never get hosed like this.

Mete gets first look.

I actually prefer Ouellet. Veteran is much better suited than pint sized Mete

 

[FloJack]

McTusk took the plunge!

LOL. Guess I should sepia tone my avatar.

 

[Rapala]

Doubt Ouelett plays over Mete

Should be
Romanov - Weber
Edmundson - Petry
Kulak - Mete

Romanov looked good in the shifts he got with Weber

What I find disappointing is that we don't seem to have a reliable RD which would give us much more stability IMO.

It's so nice to have a coach that tries to maximize his players strengths while playing a style that works in today's NHL.

And it's REALLY nice to come up against a hot goalie who plays well all game, and still pot enough goals for chicken wings. Never in a thousand years would I have believed that sort of feat even remotely possible with the old guard behind the bench.

People will disagree because most of this board hates Danault, but when he plays well, the Habs play well too.

I mean we have Fleury but don't think we will see him soon enough

Tonight, I say Goodbye to Dan-NoGoal forever:

 

[c3z4r]

But we drafted the wrong guy!

I can't believe you've done this!

 

[Rapala]

Agreed.

Great post

I watched quietly after answering and reading over 400 emails...brain has limited brain cells

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Kotkaniemi is only 4 points behind the great Brady Tkachuk, with four games in hand...

I've been saying it for almost two years. The guy needed a new coach.

It's a shame we couldn't have done the same for Galchenyuk. He'd have become a much better player than he did. Nobody has benefitted more from the change than KK did. All this does is really drive home the fact that our development has been a major issue over the years. Yes, some of it is drafting and most of it is management overall, but development has been atrocious.

Thank God we made the coaching change. If nothing else, KK coming out of it better is worth the move.

 

[Runner77]

Followed by that fan who went commando on the steps. Classic.

 

[Tyson]

Kotkaniemi is sticking out a bit more than Suzuki since the coaching change. Promising to see our young centers unleashed a bit

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Finally we get some wings , oh wait my shithole of a town have no Cage aux sports

back to eating more celery

 

[Rapala]

They are both progressing well for different reasons. But KK has taken it up like three notches.

The Leafs would never get hosed like this.

I really hope we show up tomorrow. If we can create an 8 point lead on Calgary with a game in hand, it would be demoralizing for the Flames.

Solid performance more impressive than the win over the Jets.

On the right side though?
