Post-Game Talk: Lightning doesn't strike twice. Habs win

[MasterD]

Yeah let's forget his size speed leadership and physicality and how that helps us and is hard for the opposition. His cap hit is not entirely wrapped in his production, nor does his cap hinder us in anyway. I for one am glad he's on our roster.

Sure, but if you can have a 21y/o Dach or Sergachev, or top 10 pick, you have to do it.

 

[Runner77]

That's "Getafix" en Anglais for anyone who's not a fan of Asterix and Obelix.

Was a huge fan of Asterix and Obelix when I was a kid, par Toutatis!

 

[HabbyGuy]

If someone is offering a former young 3rd overall big piece missing from your lineup absolutely! And who the heck is offering a dman like Sergachev for him?

You know what "if" means, right?

Dont argue for the sake of it.

Well obviously "if" offered this Hughes would accept. Otherwise he's fine with Anderson, as we should be.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I thought there was a slew foot, but on rewatching it, it just kind of looks like Serg out muscles him to me at least.

Edit: Maybe it's a hold, but imo that's a contested puck. It's actually more on Sergachev's stick if anything.

It was a f***ing hold, and should have been a goal for Anderson. He completely wraps his arm around Anderson and pulls him down. An absolute garbage non-call.

I can't believe how much I've gotten to hate the refs over the last 3 years. They're beyond terrible. Just incompetent yahoos who actively hurt the enjoyment of games.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Or you know, do it all like the Lightning. Just draft talent. BPA, always. Sometimes that talent is a 6’6 Russian goaltender. I’m not going to say no because I have Brian Elliott.

• 2012: Andrei Vasilevskiy (Selected 19th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning)
• 2014: Thatcher Demko (Selected 36th overall by the Vancouver Canucks)
• 2014: Alex Nedeljkovic (Selected 37th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes)
• 2014: Ilya Samsonov (Selected 22nd overall by the Washington Capitals)
• 2015: Mackenzie Blackwood (Selected 42nd overall by the New Jersey Devils)
• 2016: Carter Hart (Selected 48th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers)
• 2018: Jake Oettinger (Selected 26th overall by the Dallas Stars)
• 2018: Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (Selected 54th overall by the Buffalo Sabres)
• 2020: Yaroslav Askarov (Selected 11th overall by the Nashville Predators)

TBH this list is a bit better than i thought it would be (Demko is good), but is this really your strategy? use your first round pick to try to find the needle in the haystack that comes around 2 or 3 times per decade?

no way man, invest in skaters. goalies are a total crapshoot in today's NHL. we've both said our peace, happy to move on at this point.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

You have it right. There is contact.

Yeah, his left leg sweeps out Anderson's right.

And Lucky Luke!!

The man that's faster than his own shadow.

Lucky Luke was great too but together with Astérix, this other series was hugely followed:

There was even a local edition ...

I used to love the video game as a kid

Jeff Petry rides again.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Ain't nothing but a heartache

 

[calder candidate]

Anderson lean in to the contact to cut to the net but Sergachev doesn't on can't stop him from cutting to the net he hook is arm and using is hip and knee to get leverage throw Anderson off balance it kind of a slew foot but using is arm and hip/knee... The issue Sergachev play the puck and just toss him so effortlessly it hard to think it was dirty just a battle for space but hard to understand that it isn't a penalty...

 

[Skip Bayless]

Sergachev is gonna get a fine, but should be suspended. The non-call on slew foots are a complete joke. Literally one of the most dangerous things you can do on the ice.

 

[Canadienna]

Yeah, his left leg sweeps out Anderson's right.

I really don't see that. There's contact but Sergs skate stays straight while Anderson's veers it into him.

Maybe you're right about the hold. I don't think it was a dirty play.

I never said it’s a strategy. Who is doing the strawman argument now? I just said you can’t ignore a goalie just because you have one that’s passable.

 

[Natey]

Huge W! Good team win, love to see it!

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

i'm arguing you can -- and multiple cup winners in the last 10 years support this view

and it really did feel like your strategy was "draft the next Vasilevskiy"

ready to move on?

btw how did Carey Price era work out for us? best goalie in the world for ~10 yrs, what did we have to show for it?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Ain't nothing but a heartache

That's the AHLers right there trolling the f*** out of the tank.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Haven't watch the game a lot.
Too bad Anderson is injured oh no not by that D Sergy, dirty D

So how is Gallagher baby today? Young and fresh or done past done ?
It's a post mortem for him? yeah, no ?

 

[Habs10Habs]

Guy does it all. They should have him sing the anthems too, while he's at it.

Is it wrong that while wearing a Habs jersey. I think Kelly Clarkson looks kinda hot?

Another entertaining game. At this point, that's all that matters to me.

That’s his fault or management’s fault for making Desharnais the 1C and trading up for the likes of Tinordi.

 

[26Mats]

Never said they were. But tons of people here don't want to trade him EVEN IF they were.

Ah, I see.

Personally, I really wanted him moved before he started playing with RHP. He's really been good since then though. I'm ok with keeping him. Hopefully, he fully recovers from this ankle injury and it doesn't affect his speed.
