Post-Game Talk: MONtreal Blows it gainst Columbus. Cannon fores 6 times in loss.

[StCaufield]

Man I was so worried about tonight , we were playing against the worst NHL team in the league and we still managed to throw that game.

Im really proud of that team , The Bedard race will never be over!

Yeah let’s hope our young guys regress and look like they did tonight all year right?

What an odd thing to say after a loss to Columbus, 4 points from the bottom 3 and over 60 games left to play.

The dream is over? I feel like you're dreaming we're a contender.

And you’re dreaming if you think we’ll get Bedard . Hope and pray for the injury record again. They won’t win much but they aren’t the worst

 

[Paddy17]

Savard back to his old self.
Great night for the T_ _ K!
Oh, Florida lost too...

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I said this in the GDT as well. He might be the only legit first liner we have. A true stud to build around.

Caufield?

Yeah, I'll hope for the losses thanks. I'm tired of the hoping we win enough to limp into the playoffs just to get exposed. I want better. The only way to do that is to draft at the top for a minute. Colorado did that and now look at them. It's our turn to do what we haven't done for decades.

 

[OnceWasNot]

High scoring game with big hits, a fight, and now only 6 points out of last place. Good times.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Quite a few bad games recently to be honest.

Maybe he should be sent down to Laval. It seems to be the elixir suggested by many here to all our ills.

 

[Habs]

What a gross game. Outplayed them all night I thought, end up losing 6-4 and giving up 1000 breakaways.

Tankers who were worried forgot just how bad Monty can be.

Caufield's most frustrating game to me in a Habs uni tonight. Bobbling the puck, missing open nets, terrible coverage on the Jenner goal.

what about Savard and Harris.... totally pathetic tonight too, even with the Harris goal he was still brutal. Team just didn't look prepared to play, looked lost in the neutral zone too. Whatevs , rematch in a week

 

[Hacketts]

bad news, we lost
good news, we lost

 

[The Real Timo]

Welp... looks like the grind is setting in. One line cannot continue to carry the entire team. Other needs to step up. I did think that Anderson's line played relatively well so maybe couple more games and they might start putting a few pucks in.

What the hell happened to Savard? Holy jeezus... let's hope he just had a night off. I do like the big puck swallowing marshmallow... but man... tonight was an absolute train wreck.

 

[The Real Timo]

bad news, we lost
good news, we lost

better yet, Panthers lost too

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Didn't watch the game...quick resume? Worth that I watch it in its entirety?

Depends Are in the mood for a comedy?

David Savard on Boone Jenner's goal, now that's funny.

 

[The Real Timo]

Congrats to Slaf for his first NHL assist.
He is going to he a handful very soon for NHL Dmen. You can just see it.

Big dude... just need to get some man strength... and some boxing lessons

Looks like I missed an exciting loss

You know... there is always on-demand somewhere you can find and watch the whole thing... it's was almost comical at times... you'll laugh

 

[SlafySZN]

Caufield?

Yep he is a first liner

but when he doesn't score or play great every game some will say he isn't lol.

 

[Gravity]

Caufield?

Nope, he's more of a complimentary player. Great player nonetheless but not an legit first liner as of yet imo.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Nope.

He has 31 goals and 51 pts in his last 54 games. You're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that Caufield is not a 1st liner...

I don't look at stats over the course of two seasons. I do believe CC will be a legit first liner by the time he's 23 like Suzuki is. I just don't see him as play driver atm but more of a pure sniper.

I remember when Galchenyuk was a first liner too....

Suzuki is an all situation play driver. PK, PP, EV, OT just solid all around with ridiculous hockey IQ. Even when he's slumping he's good.

I love CC and was very high on him in Wisconsin and when he had 1 goal last year. He's just not there yet for me.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Oh no we suck yet again!

Galchenyuk had one ridiculous stretch, CC's is a lot more longer. They aren't comparable players, CC is a first liner but people should relax with the 50+ goals assumption. His next contract will be interesting, can't really say he deserves a lot more than Suzuki if at all.

I think he's benefitting more from playing with Suzuki than vice-versa. His next contract depends on how he finishes the year but I don't see him making Suzuki money.

I think his speed, skill, and IQ are a massive threat and make him a 1st liner. Galchenyuk only had skill and his shot was not as good as CCs/

You don't need to be a play driver to be a 1st liner. Matthews, Pacioretty, Debrincat, Stamkos, etc. are not play drivers. You also don't need to play the pk to be a 1st liner (see Kucherov, Kane, Matthews, Mackinnon, etc.).

Glad I chose sleep over that!

What a bunch of absolute (insert semi-random noun here, but preferably helmets).

You Canadians and especially @Runner77 - know what a helmet is in the insults lexicon, don't you?

Someone explained it a couple of posts later. I can’t believe that jailed driver was able to call the judge a penis head and faced no additional consequences over it.

I think he’s gonna get more

The crim in question was probably an absolute bell-end himself ;-)

Still, I'm all for speaking truth to power! God knows my country needs a revolution.....
