Post-Game Talk: Sorry, not sorry Patches, Habs grab a 5-4 Win over Vegas

[Adam Michaels]

Why does he keep making trips. alright already

Why shouldn't he make trips?

 

[japhi]

I think what I'm suggesting is that a swap would allow Kotkaniemi to take softer assignments. Turn Kotka's line into one that gets mostly offensive minutes, turn Danault's line into one that could be a purely checking line. Tatar-Kotka-Lehk/Hudon/Gally could get mostly offensive assignments, Byron-Danault-Armia could get mostly defensive assignments

There are no easier minutes. He is getting 65% o zone starts against bottom 6 players. Claude is killing it on his utilization, this is textbook how you should launch a young player.

 

[Bacchus1]

So how wzs Schlemko? I missed the first half of the game.

 

[Shad]

Niemi or Price for next game against the Oilers ?

Price, Niemi gets Flames, Price gets Nucks

Wants to get away from the wife

Why make one line that produces if you can have two? You guys should relax...

That Danault line is doing a great job at even strength out there while facing tough assignments. It gives the other lines an easier matchup.

 

[Cacaniemi]

He is man. It's amazing what the centre depth we could have. Kotka. Domi. Poehling. Suzuki. Crazy. I think all these guys have significant potential in the NHL.

Part of me selfishly wanted hughs this year but this team is way to fun to watch. I RARELY and i say RARELY *if ever?* see kotka make a mistake in where he coughs up the puck and turns it over. Same goes for his passing , he seems to always successfully complete his passes and at this age its extremely impressive. I already feel confident with the kid on the ice and i cant say that for 80 percent of the players on on the ice. With every passing game he creates more and more i can see him completely dominating the WJC. Like i said when he fills out his weight and plays with more responsibility bergevins decision at the draft in picking him might be one that justifies his tenure. I still believe the pk trade was a mistake but this was def the right pick at the draft for us !

 

[Habaneros]

Claude Julien just said "Tatar is a hockey warrior"

 

[Aspirine]

Coconut!! LOVE THE KID

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

It'll mean absolutely nothing if the defense and goalies allow 4+ goals every game. That can't be happening.

Weber and Juulsen will help. Kind of interesting things fell apart when Juulsen left the lineup...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Big saves from niemi despite four goals ! Great team effort so satisfying to see tartar score and patioready try his hardest there wasnt no coasting from him tonight and he still couldnt score. Now please someone we need that tartar fan clip for pregame purposes

That fan clip for Tatar was amazing.

 

[1909]

Alzner experience MUST end. Juulsen nor Ouellet deserve to be in the stands.

 

[Sword]

Price, Niemi gets Flames, Price gets Nucks

The Nucks are on a scoring spree, Price is going to get embarrassed.

 

[Zorba]

He’s the captain
He’s supporting his guys. What’s so hard to understand?

I agree with this. No need to stack one line. Spread the wealth. The Habs have proven that this is a good recipe. Every line is contributing. The fourth line is the fourth line, but Habs' Top-9 is working.

17 games played so far and Montreal has scored less than 3 goals in only 4 games. In every other game, whether win or loss, they've scored 3 or more goals per game.

It's working.

The K Kid is properly used.

 

[Zorba]

And the Canucks are being lit up as well
Another 7-5 game like last December

 

[Cacaniemi]

Boys i got it hahhaaha

 

[A1]

Habs 3-0 when I'm at the game this season

 

[Belial]

So how wzs Schlemko? I missed the first half of the game.

Schlemko looked decent IMO, clearly an upgrade on Alzner and Benn. And Julien liked his game as he was out there to close the game.

 

[Habs Icing]

Actually they started to fall apart when Armia left.

A tighter D + better goaltending would place them at the top of their Conference.

 

[Zusammenhalt]

I just realized Nate Schmidt wasn't playing for Vegas. Looked up why and it turns out it's because of this PED and he still got to play in the playoffs? How does that happen?

Golden Knights' Schmidt maintains innocence as PED suspension concludes - Sportsnet.ca

The 27-year-old was tested twice last season and is believed to have known about the positive result even while logging the most minutes among Vegas players during their run to the Stanley Cup final.

 

[JuicyHam]

Would you trade Tatar for Pacioretty?

Only if we can trade Pacioretty again for a similar package

 

[Cacaniemi]

The K Kid is properly used.

He is right now sure im talking about down the line when he is inevitably our number one center
