Post-Game Talk: Hot takes... I mean hockey is back!! Habs lose 5-4 vs Leafs in OT

[Kriss E]

To be honest , habs get tons of penalties every games. Let's not forget last season and bubbles.

We were always on the PK

We were tied for bottom tier in minor penalties last season so...we weren't worst than the average, we were actually better.

 

[dinodebino]

everyone knew he was gassed, he should have said no to going back out onto the ice, Julien should have picked anyone else in that situation, that was the biggest mistake , wonder if Claude learned anything last night.

Danault is the new Pleky for Dauterive.

 

[Kriss E]

Not blaming the refs for the loss. What I'm saying is they had a pretty rough night if you ask me. Some of the calls they missed were blatant.

Meh...isn't that pretty much standard procedure? Refs miss blatant calls every game.
I thought they were pretty good as a whole actually. Let the teams play, weren't clearly lopsided.

Has anyone yet mentioned the obvious: how Leafs players are already frustrated with “cross checks” etc by Habs Dman and there’s still 9-more time the two teams meet. Think a seeds been planted in their heads?

4 the line was a joke

 

[Canadienna]

Sportsnet and TSN running full stories about Matthews' crosschecks from Chiarot/Weber last game and how crosschecks aren't called. His agent is whining about it on twitter.

That's unfortunately going to result in special attention to Weber/Chiarot's crosschecks for the next few games and next time we play TOR for sure. What a bunch of whiners, nobody talking about Matthews' knee on Anderson.

Other than getting ragged on by my co-workers this morning, while taking out the trash this morning, my neighbor was complaining how we’re dirty and targeting their superstars...

 

[Stive Morgan]

My personal takeaways (all positive)

4 goals
All 4 goals were beauties
Romanov
Powerplays looked pretty good
Goal in the final minute of period, usually it's the other way around
Price is still in top form.

Time for Josh Anderson's agent to take to Twitter. Intent to injure with a knee needs to be called.

Agree

You're underrating Toffoli here. He'd be a top six guy on most teams in the NHL. It was a good pick up for Bergevin, much as it would've been for any other team.[/QUOTE

Anyone see this? Julien's gameplan on a handwritten sheet, was legible to someone who was able to get a closeup of it.

It's not so much that it was decipherable, it's how cliched the content was.

Who needs to make notes of the most obvious to-do things in the game?

LOL, that’s gotta be a joke/Photoshop, right? Why doesn’t he add a line “score more than Toronto” as a line item, LOL!

It's real. An RDS pundit has also picked up on it:

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

I think I've missed hating Toronto even more than caring for the Habs to be honest. I know the feeling is mutual but holy **** are their fans annoying and unlikeable beyond measure. Bunch of hypocrites too, they're crying now but I don't remember them complaining about crosschecks and violence in hockey 7-8 years ago when their team was loaded with talentless, cheap-shoting oafs like Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren.

That's ridiculous if it's real... Haha, like why do you need to write those down. You can't remember them?

Saw the replay facing pornstach when the collison occurs and he looked surprised and almost got his own leg locked.

Page 34, post #836. I put that up this morning. Oh well. Runner contributes news a lot more than me so I won't complain.

 

[Runner77]

I apologize for the Julien notebook scribble repost, I had not seen it otherwise I would have not posted about it.

I'm usually very diligent about not reposting an item that someone else has posted but somehow, as I went through the posts at intermittent times today, I did not see it.

My sincere apologies. And for the record, I post a lot but I have no special privileges -- I fully respect and appreciate all the contributions that others make to this site, which in my mind, are much more valuable than mine.

Looking at Claude's scribbles closer ...

 

[THE HOFF]

This board thinks Julien uses Danault so much because he has a crush on him or something but he's using him so much just cuz he's giving him the highest chance to win games, there's no doubt in my mind if Suzy and KK can show they can do the same or better they'll take his place...

And it's not just the FO%, it's the whole defensive side of the game.

Suzuki gets praised for his defensive game but he was pretty brutal last year.

KK was not even in the NHL...

People are just too imptient.

Im a reasonable man. I won't rant when I see Danault's icetime increase when we are up by two. Taking key faceoffs and all...But when the game is back on the line, he won't score you that goal so I don't want to see him then.
