Post-Game Talk: 4-3 MTL, Caufield with amazing OT goal!! We win!!

[Beendair Donedat]

Beck taking a hit by a 6'4" Dman and not only keeping his feet but making the play to help tie the game should be getting some love. We don't get to see Caufield's goal of his life without that Lad showing why he is a winner. Sure he got walked covering for a Dman earlier in the game but at least he found a way to fight back and help his team. There was no coming back tonight for Celebrini however.

I posted about both events in the GDT.

The goal was inexcusable, looking at the puck and not playing the man is hockey 101. He knows better, just a rookie mental lapse that shouldn’t happen again.

On the goal he took the huge hit, and still made the pass to Laine who cradled it deftly to Newhook. He deserves a ton of credit for his physical toughness on that play, and it’s something this team has been without for far too long. That gritty, never give up, always coming back for more style that used to be a hallmark of Habs hockey. The young man was terrific on that play, more than making up for the earlier gaffe.

. . . WHILE CAUFIELD CALLS GAME, DAZZLES WIITH HIS OWN OT WINNER
Cole Caufield (1-1—2) and Lane Huston (0-1—1) propelled Montreal past three separate deficits in regulation and set the stage for overtime at Bell Centre where Caufield produced a highlight-reel, between-the-legs play to lift the Canadiens (28-26-5, 61 points) to their seventh third-period comeback win of the season – tied for the second most among all teams.

* Caufield, whose eighth career overtime goal tied Johnny Gagnon for the fourth most in franchise history, became the fifth Canadiens player with 20 career game-winning goals at age 24 or younger. The others: Guy Lafleur (37), Stephane Richer (34), Bernie Geoffrion (32), and Steve Shutt (24).

* Hutson (4-40—44 in 59 GP) became the third Canadiens rookie to record 40 assists in a single campaign and first since Chris Chelios (55 in 1984-85). The second-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft (No. 62) required the fewest games by a rookie defenseman to hit the mark in a season since Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom (56 GP in 1991-92).
