Post-Game Talk: Habs win their first in God awful blue jerseys in afternoon matchup against Bo Horvat.

[River Meadow]

It's official, we're making a push for the playoffs.

LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

 

[Dach Vader]

I wanted to lose too but I can't hate the result.

Suzuki, Barron & Dach get goals. Harvey-Panarin was solid again and Harris/Kovacevic had some nice chances.

I thought Hoffman, Matheson & Anderson had strong games too.

The way Hoffman received that pass in OTl was beautiful.

 

[Milhouse40]

Win or lose, we should also always keep focus that we're developing kids and trying to clean house at the same time.
This was the 1st win in 5 games, so not the end of the world....although they could have picked a better to win than this one.


But in the last month.....some good things are happening
This is Habs production in the last month.

Hell, even Drouin has 4 points in 4 games!!

 

[PavelBrendl]

Honestly, two blue reverse retros in a row and they've mismatched the pants both times. I'm appalled.

 

[The Great Weal]

Hoffman with 3 pts tonight.

And he probably still has zero value at 50% retained lol

 

[Tetragrammaton]

And he probably still has zero value at 50% retained lol

Still too much term left on his deal, we can only hope that he puts up solid numbers next season and trade him at the deadline.

Don’t see why. It’s not like he just sucks, he’s a wrong fit on a rebuilding team. He may not get a first in 2023 but he could get a return if a playoff team needs a shooter.

The habs have Caufield so Hoffman gets pushed down and they have really lacked puck distributors. Now that Dach is on Hoffman is scoring.

Harvey panarin

There is only 1 year left and at 50% it will only be 2.25 mil. If the acquiring team doesn't want him after this season they might even be able to move him at 2.25 mil.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Also that OT goal totally reminded me of this one. Hoffman is Cammalleri of 2023 and Matheson is the Wisniewski of 2023 lol

Also those Panthers jerseys are almost as ugly as ours

What the hell went on in OT that Hoffman assisted on a SHG?

It wasn't shorthanded. Barzal turned it over just inside Montreal's blueline to Matheson just as Hoffman stepped out of the penalty box.

Matheson puts Hoffman in on a breakaway but Varlamov makes a save. Unfortunately, he kicks a rebound out to Matheson who followed up his pass with a net drive. Goal.

It wasn't shorthanded. Hoffman came out of the penalty box, Matheson hit him with a pass that was almost offside, Hoffman broke in alone, shot, and Matheson put in the rebound.

What Romy and the fans in attendance, saw. Habs doing the classy thing, fans showing gratitude and there was Romy, visibly touched.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Honestly, I don't know in what world you're in where we don't extend Mike Hoffman. This is getting outright ludicrous.

 

[Runner77]

Daddy-O, tank commander.

He's such a good kid. I hope he develops to the fullest of his potential.

 

[le_sean]

Have to appreciate Hoffman taking that puck off right skate and left skate.

No, I don’t have to appreciate Hoffman. He’s garbage when we want him to be good and scores when we want him to stay bad.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

There is only 1 year left and at 50% it will only be 2.25 mil. If the acquiring team doesn't want him after this season they might even be able to move him at 2.25 mil.

I would be willing if a team wanted him.

I missed Romanov. Ghule , Romanov, Xhekaj would of been a dream. Physical and steady

Watching him tonight, there’s not much to miss. They traded him at the right moment. His ceiling is very clearly 2nd pairing with no offence to speak of.

Nah he does suck. There’s a reason why he moves to new teams this often despite solid production.

 

[HabbyGuy]

RHP has to get some more love in this thread, kid's a gamer, he was in the midst of everything tonight on both sides of the puck. He's been nothing but great since his call up. Good for him!

And that’s why I gotta delete the score app already

He's awesome, as a fan watching from the outside he's very relatable.
