Post-Game Talk: "I'm vengeance"; Habs defeat the Penguin

[Belial]

Considering I didn't expect the team to do well this year. I honestly don't pay attention to the final score of the games. I mostly now look for player improvements, while hoping to be entertained.

Barron definitely showed some flashes of that 1st round-selection pedigree tonight!

Agreed, I've been impressed with him since his call up.

 

[No More Subban]

Damn. Pittsburgh is one of those teams I don't mind losing to but the Habs swept them this season? How?!!

Ylonen is definitely the next Lehkonen. Could be the better player too hopefully

He's nowhere as good defensively.

Lehkonen's ability to kill plays and be first on the puck all the time was exceptional.

 

[Walrus26]

It’s f***ing insane.

The sky is falling because we won our first in eight. I mean what the ever loving f***?

Nope, too cryptic for me. Say what you really mean.

;-) Well said sir.

I just arrived in Hawaii.. and effing Habs start my holiday with a useless win against the pens: double whammy bc it gives panthers hope too.

It just goes to show that a relatively disfunctional AHL team can pretty much beat anyone. Fine line to tow to become a contender, shouldnt take 5 years.

Next year Habs will be vying for a wild card spot.

Imagine Florida makes it, by a couple points.

They probably will. They are hot and a lot of competing teams are not doing so well.

Panthers hope is not the pens it’s the islanders there 3 pts back with two games in hand. The pens have created seperation 5 pts up same gp

The hilights of the game, shows his talent, both of those assists were awesome!
We have some terrific kids on the back end......

Barring the insane injury bug, this will be a bubble team for sure....

When will NHL coaches learn that when your goalie doesn't have it early, you pull the plug early?

Penguins win going away if they take Jarry out at 3-2 at the latest.

 

[Andy]

Barron and Matheson really change the puck movement and offense from the backend.

Guhle, Harris, Barron, Xhekaj have developed really well so far. Good on the coaching staff. With Matheson playing super well, I'm happy with this Dcore for next season.

 

[Andy]

I’m so old I pretty much invented the whole ‘rebuild’ for a top pick discussion back about 15 years ago. I used to argue against the whole board for a rebuild.

I still feel this way. Rebuilding works. Top picks are the key.

But, that doesn’t mean you should turn the GDT into an us vs them battle. And that’s what always happens. f*** that.

We have a rebuild thread. Go there and whine about Suzuki getting a hat trick. Don’t do it in a thread where people are watching their team live.

This is not a big ask.

I can confirm that LG would drive the board nuts about rebuilding.

 

[Wats]

Can't believe Pens gave this to Montreal. Reminds me of the play-in. Glad at least Edmundson is starting to pad his stats.

 

[Colezuki]

Excited for next season, I’m tired of cheering for losses. We also could potentially be rolling out a pretty revamped roster

Caufield -Suzuki- Dach
Anderson - Dubois -Slafkovsky/Farrell
Gurianov - DVo - Slafkovsky/Farrell
Armia - Evans - gallagher
RHP- Pezz- Ylonen

Is a pretty good forward core to start the year

What did you give up to get Dubois?

 

[Colezuki]

What did you give up to get Dubois?

Fla 1st, beck and a 2nd although I’m sure you could sign up a roster player like ylonen or swap beck with kidney

 

[Censored Toad]

Why the f*** did they win this game..... awful for the draft!

6 goals?!?! Damn you Sidney!!!

nearly a perfect tank night except for stupid us and the flyers losing to the knights. Otherwise it was a perfect night!

 

[jrom]

We helped their defence crater by stealing Matheson from them.

They also traded Marino to NJD kinda to make place for Petry.

lol, they really need to fire hextall

Pretty good for finishing about 22nd overall yeah

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Prettiest goal of the game. What a pass by Barron!

He had to do it for his boy Crosby

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Good times.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Tristan Jarry was just a f***ing disaster last night. 4 goals on 7/8 shots, you must be kidding me.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I tuned in to watch the puck drop at like 7:15pm, thought I caught the start of the game, turned out Pittsburgh scored 30 seconds in and they were dropping the puck. I think "oh man this is going to be a long night". Pittsburgh scores again quickly, I consider turning it off, but Montreal answers right back.

I decide to keep watching, from that moment on the team kept playing awful but every shot they took went in, I couldn't believe it. Fun game to watch.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Gurianov reminds me a lot of Andrei Kostitsyn, he's a tank, can skate, has good hands and a very hard shot, but can be frustrating to watch at times due to the inconsistency.

MSL is the perfect coach for him to help him improve offensively, I'm not expecting him to be a top line guy but I won't be surprised if MSL can improve his confidence and turn him into a 40-50 point guy.
