Jones is definitely getting too much flack. That tying goal wasn’t even on him. He had a pretty good game tonight. It’s hard to take anything serious with these guys. They’re obviously barely playing. There’s no explosiveness or physicality. Pretty telling sign.

Y'all freaks believed the 2nd time would be easier?
Buckle the f*** up, quit whining and get the f*** on the back to back bus already.

This past month is like watching the cowboys in the playoffs. Choking away games

The only thing I’ll acknowledge is the Dmen are probably exhausted to end games
We have two guys who are basically unplayable and everyone else is getting an increased workload
Including Schmidt having to play 2nd pair minutes and match ups
Kulikov coming back will fix one.
But even if Ekblad comes back, that’s 20 games he missed. Timing, conditioning, and those stiff knees aren’t going to be playoff ready.
Honestly the Tournament break really f***ed us

Habs fan here in peace as well. You guys have one hell of a team and we are rebuilding. Beating you guys 4 straight feels so good but I know that we need to play our buts off to even have a chance and we trying to make the playoffs for once in what 3- 4 years? The guys are desperate and it shows. They really want it.

I'm a Leafs fan and hoping all the Leafs fans and Habs fans can come together and have a big makeout session with lots of tongue. All while laughing at all these dumb Panthers fans who don't even know what hockey is.
Nah dont be that way. Dont nock off other team fans. We should all be fans of the best game in sports.

Granted I only watched the 3rd period and if cats think the tying goal was on Jones there, that’s ridiculous. The Hab sent up a prayer that happened to be answered and it’s Jones’ fault? Haha go ahead tho.

As a habs fan I was pulling my hair out on all the chances we fooked. Your guys played a very good game and its only because my guys were more desperate that we even had a chance against you. Dont get too upset on the sweep. Come playoff time all that is swept away and the real men come to play. Time will tell who the real men are ;-)

I’m sorry Jones has to get that puck out. It was one on one with a Habs player and he failed to clear
How is he not responsible for it? I get the Hail Mary pass but that puck must get out.
He loses way too many puck battles and that was another one
Ignoring the fact moments before he gave up a 2 on 1 and he got bailed out my Schmidt for his piss poor decision to step up
Nope he doesn’t get a pas
Jones wasn’t outnumbered. It was one on one with Hutson and all he did was keep reaching. Gave up the line and just reaching. Really soft play
Period point blank

What are you talking about? He was excellent in puck battles all night. He basically shoved one guy off the puck and into another dimension in our own end, and then caught up on the 2 on 1 and nullified that chance with a great takeaway. That play with 10 seconds left wasn't on him. If Barkov covers his man Suzuki on both the tying goal and winning goal, neither one happens. His D has been crap lately.

He was beat on the cross-crease GWG on Sunday, iirc. I don't think it's for lack of effort either. I just don't think he or our best players are playing very well right now. I kinda think Marchy looks a bit soft and is killing his share of plays. I expect he'll be a little better as he gets his legs under him and finds his role.
We had played a pretty good defensive 3rd. Not perfect but to smother a desperate and skilled team like that for so long was impressive. I think what this game came down to was us not finishing one of a half-dozen grade A to A+ chances and putting the game away earlier. They are playing well and were tough but we had the better of the play as the game went on. If we get it to 3-1, it's a different story.
Agree with comments above that we just don't have a huge margin for error with our injuries. Also a factor is Ek. I think we take for granted how important he is, despite his perceived flaws.
Ah well, on to the next one.

The first 10 minutes of the 3rd period was the most physical they played in months. Guys like Verhaege and Reino really started finishing their hits. This team does have another gear. We will see it the latest when 2 of our most physical players in MT and Kuli are back.
In the first Verhaege fumbled a puck so badly when he could have sent Barky on a breakaway or at least skate it in on a 2-on-1 himself. He'll be fine when he finds his scoring touch again - which I am completely convinced off, it's not like he doesn't have an scoring opportunities).
Meanwhile I hope we either win the division to face a wildcard team or we play TOR.
