Post-Game Talk: Montywall stymies Joisey!

[Redux91]

That almost never happens. Players see a trade as an affront and generally don't come back to given a choice. Can't have it both ways.

Plekanec!

 

[salbutera]

we are now 3-0 when I see montreal play live lol

Head to the airport, tickets will be waiting for Ott & Boston

 

[Rapala]

5 for 14. Only 36%.

Funny enough Monahan was worse at 21%.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Plekanec!

He's the exception who confirms the rule. The trade to the Habs would not have happened were he mid-career.

 

[Michoulicious]

Struble IS the real deal.

Trade Guhle + for Zegras.

Profit.

Ok what's going on? I was told by some very intelligent posters that the Habs would start to nose dive in the new year.

If you think about it last season we hung around .500 until Monahan went down.
This season our young D is one year better our goaltending is better.
Even without Dach Slaf has taken on some of the role he played on that right wing and Monahan is still playing that important 2C role.
We should hang around this level until we move Monahan.

Habs will be buyers at TDL. Because da playoffs!

I agree with you 100%. My post was sheepishly aimed at the "Tankers". They kept saying "Don't worry, they'll start to lose regularly once we hit the halfway point". Now it seems the more players we lose to injury. The better the team plays.

If we stay at that level until the trade deadline. I'm afraid that half the Habs board will have to be on suicide watch lol

 

[sampollock]

Nice to see the wild card tightening up

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

The defense is deeper, with Struble's emergence.

 

[Habs10Habs]

For some reason, I didn't notice Roy very much in his first game. Even without the goal, I definitely noticed him tonight.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I am probably one of the few who don’t want to trade Monahan…rather re-sign him.

He's definitely brought a lot of positives to the team. Especially helping out our younger players. I think we should trade him, though I won't be upset if we don't. The best case scenario is we trade him. Then if he wants to come back at a reasonable contract. That's fine by me.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I have a hard time understanding why so many posters here bash Harris. He’s a serviceable young player. He’ll never be a superstar but he’s often quietly steady I feel.

That's the thing, he's not flashy. He won't fight or throw the big hit. Steady is the perfect word to describe him.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Devils journos are second guessing Lindy and he's not having it lmao

We’ve sort of made a meme out of the word character since the Bergevin regime but I think that character mixed with solid goaltending are the two biggest things that are making this team competitive right now. They may not be a playoff team right now, but I’d rather the young guys experience something like this as opposed to what teams like Buffalo or Ottawa are going threw. We had two years of finishing bottom 5, at some point you have to take a step forward so you don’t create a losing culture. Even if it does suck badly that we could use a lottery pick.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Le f***ing Sniper Beauceron

 

[Habano]

Struble is absolute stud, I really believe he's our best defenseman

 

[Scintillating10]

While I'd prefer a high draft pick I'm not gonna hate on a great road win. Monty was awesome, Monaghan also great

I'd like to sign Monahan. Ideal third line centre. smart player, good leadership in dressing room. He was the key on Roy and Caufield goals.

 

[Habssince89]

I'm trying to temper my expectations but he already looks so calm out there. He gets the job done and I can see him being a lifetime hab already. A real glue guy

It's certainly a fine balance. But there are two glue guys I think who are pivotal for creating scoring depth and those guys are dach and Monahan.

With dach being gone pretty much the entire year, the Habs need Monahan to tie in any semblance of scoring depth, and he's either going to get injured or traded.

I still think a top 10 pick is the most likely scenario, and a free fall is not out of the question at all.

Get in the phone and work a deal bring Holtz to the Habs! Do it! Allen? Savard? Matheson!? Armia? He isn't popular there... do it!!

 

[Runner77]

Man, watching Montembault interview, dude is wired like he was on speed.
From his eyes to the way he deliver his speech like he was an auctioneer lol
Yet while still remaining calm.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

5 for 14. Only 36%.

In fairness, McLeod is the best in the league and Hischier and Haula are pretty good, too.
