Post-Game Talk: Powerhorse powers Habs in OT -- lead series 2-1!

[lamp9post]

Great positive from this game was seeing the team come back from deficits twice to win the game. Habs have been criticized by Deboer of being uncomfortable playing from behind so this should be a big confidence builder.

One point of concern is that the Habs were able to take advantage of long changes from Vegas on the Caufield goal and Anderson's winner. Good on the team for being heady and taking advantage of bad changes, but that is something Vegas will address. Habs will need to find new ways to generate offense as this series goes on.

Perry is a complete lunatic. Guy has won a hart, cups, basically everything in hockey. And for min salary he is taking an absolute beating to try and win a Cup for a new team, May be the toughest, in the true sense of the word, player I've ever seen play for Montreal. Hat tip to Gally, but Perry is taking a beating every shift to make plays.

Min salary is still better than anything he can earn outside of hockey. After his agent's % and taxes, he still makes about 300 grand.

 

[dinodebino]

He looks like Michael Scott.

Chris Lee is from St John's NB. Explains a lot. Bruins territory as far as I know, and the man is 51 years old. Guess what his childhood was like.

Moncton & Fredericton, and up, is Habs territory. They like us much better there, Moncton is very franco too, but St John's has no love for the Habs.

He does. It's like Toby just showed up in the building or something.

My Weber rants were embarrassing this year, and I felt dumb about them even before the playoffs started.

Always a Price fan though.

Yeah, Weber is seriously shutting me up right now, so so solid , a Clapper goal would be nice eventually but everything else right now is gold
(Except for his backhand passes behind the net lol, still mini heart attacks everytime)

I am one of the posters that you are taking a shot at here no doubt. I won't visit the GDT of tomorrow night's game, I don't deserve to be here.

You’re being too hard on yourself.

If we conducted an audit of all the shit people dump in here and rigorously held it against them, the forum would probably be down to a couple dozen posters — and most of them would be recent users with low post counts who didn’t have enough time to inflict damage to their self interest.

Hyperbole and posturing are the currency of our entertainment. Please, keep contributing to the show.

Wel, I’m 48, born and raised in Saint John NB (not St. John’s, that’s in Newfoundland), and always been a Habs fan. I can say you are incorrect about the fan base here. Lots of Habs fans. Also lots of Leafs fans, and yes there are Bruins fans but Leafs and Habs are probably 1-2 here.

For as long as I can remember, Chris Lee has called Habs games with what looks like a bias against them. How he gets to call so many of their games is beyond me.

 

[Runner77]

Dan Robertson is the goat IMO. Gives me chills.

Dan Robertson wins that compendium for me as well. The very last call was also compelling and came from 98.5 FM’s Martin McGuire.

Well I have first hand bar experience from 04, 05 and 06 in all 3 cities. Posted to Gagetown. So, "oh well" I didn't see any Habs support in your St-John.

 

[Habs Icing]

Jeeze, with all these mea culpa posts this place is starting to sound like an AA meeting.

Add to that that winning in California or Carolina is very different than winning it in Canada. The type of recognition and perks that extend beyond retirement are on a different level. We’re a hockey crazy country and no team has won it in more than a quarter of a century.

 

[Habs Icing]

Naw, the league will blame ISIS or some other terrorist group.

 

[Sugi21]

Well if Hab’s can win game 4 I think they will take the series… just a hunch

...you better be here tomorrow night, there young man!!...don't make me pull this car over...

Play the same way as we played in the OT last night and we will be fine.

Yeah.

As an aside, one of Saint John and St. John’s should be encouraged to change its name.

It’s like the ole CFL thing between the Calgary Roughriders and the Ottawa Rough Riders.

I always see people mixing them up.

Saint John, NB tired of being mistaken for much cooler and better-liked St. John’s, NL

How about "Phil Danault downfall" you said so many times?

Oh pls, everyone here is a diehard Habs fan, may hold different views on approach & execution but philosophically everyone is pulling for the same thing....a winning team.

I am from NB. I would say there is a pretty good mix of fans in all parts of the province, with Habs and Leafs being the main ones. Lots of Bruins and Pens fans too, Id say.

 

[Runner77]

Except me.
How about "Phil Danault downfall" you said so many times?

Yeah right. Except you. Except no one who is a long time poster — we’re all bound to contradict ourselves just based on the sheer number of posts.

I can’t remember the context for your Danault reference, unfortunately. However, I’ve always maintained he’d be at his best on a third line. His offence is deficient.

Runner coming through with the logic once again

I've personally loved seeing the whole board agreeing on something for once!

Go Habs!

Lolol, born and raised, lived here most of my life. Also lived in Freddy for 3 years and spent several summers at CFB Gagetown. Lots of Habs fans here.

But either way, I find it hard to see how anyone could watch the Habs games Chris Lee has called throughout his career and not see a pattern of bias, no matter how it ever came into being. Through the years when I was gonna watch a Habs game and saw Lee was officiating I’d immediately debate whether I wanted to watch it or not. It’s that bad.
