Post-Game Talk: Canadiens run into a brick Woll - Lose 7-3

[waitin425]

with how tight it is....we could fight for a playoff spot until the last week of the season and still finish bottom 6 overall. Schaefer talk?

 

[HuGo Sham]

hey guys my unsolicited, amateur observations of the night.

- Lots to build on from that first. A lot.
-took their foot off the gas and we're a very, very young team.
-Hutson -5 *see previous point
-Dvorak, Anderson (who I like this year) and Gally - a 5 million dollars line that costs 14 mill. Dvorak and Gallagher are done, cooked, finished.
-Dvorak was what? 3/15 in the circle?
-During this run, Dobes hid some of our warts...as we still cave when aggressively forechecked, and team is still learning how to win / close out games.
-Montembeault is not a no.1. imo. He's had flashes, but he's not consistent and doesn't seem to show up in big moments. 818 tonight and 4 goals in the 3rd period.
The future is not him. He's not entirely to blame, but he was beat tonight by the better playing goalie.
-very curious to see if they can bounce back tomorrow or this is the beginning of a little spiral. they were humbled.
see y'all demain!

The 4-3 goal and 5-3 goal from Monty were just horrific.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I’ve had it with Montembault. He can’t steal any games. Carey Price was the guy until career ending injury. Montembault is because the freaking French media like myself keeps wanting one. But like Theodore, the biggest French trash. The team, the city needs winners. They don’t need to be French. I’m French and I’ve had it. Montembault sucks balls.

People used to regularly shit on Carey Price. Tonight they've shat on Montie.

Not a good game for him. Gave up a couple of soft goals and goaltending was the difference tonight. But I see posters blaming him for everything and that's BS. Some posters aren't able to look at things critically at all. We lose and it's "our goalie sucks blahblahblahlablah..." It's stupid. Some of those goals aren't on him. When you have a guy standing by himself with all the time in the world a foot in front of the goalie, that's not on your netminder.

Montie has stolen us games and is a good starter. No, he's not Carey Price and never will be. But he's not terrible and he does steal us the odd game.

All that being said, Dobbes has played extremely well in his start here. This will only open the door further for him. Hopefully we get a better result tomorrow night.

 

[Habssince89]

I’m happy we fought till the end. Even when the game was lost.

Yeah this team has heart and tried to the very end. Hutson with an off night but he's 20yo so we need to cut him some slack. But yeah I'd say montembault, wasted PP time snd bad penalties made this loss.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Monty definitely didn't help us out in this one.
The Matthews goal I'll give him - he's one of the best scorers in hockey.

But, where the f*** was he going on the Nylander goal? That was just embarrassing. The OEL goal was beyond awful. McMann & Robertson goals were bad, too.

Best player for us was Caufield. He should have scored.

Hutson struggled, but so did the rest of the D.

Remnants of old bad habits crept in as Montreal lost its defensive composure in 3rd.

Woll was good, but also got really lucky. We had a ton of scoring chances just couldn't bury them. Habs hit more than a few posts, too.

We were always going to have a "down" game. Too bad it came against the Leafs.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

I really cant take take watching Gallagher anymore.

He starts his shifts out of breath. He needs to take one for the team this offseason and get LTIRd into retirement.

 

[Subban signed e5]

Lane Hutson -5.

Watch the main boards for this one.

His worst game this season honestly.

 

[SlafySZN]

Caufield 10 shots on goal. Crazy.

 

[Kennerback]

Overreaction on Monty is nuts. He had an off night and all of a sudden he's trash

Yeah BS. Let them fight it out. Winner gets the job. No 4 NHL games is not enough for the pole position. Your gut feeling doesn’t count.

 

[HabSgt]

Gotta win tomorrow to wash the bad taste out of our mouths from this…learning experience.

is Doby the second coming of St Patrick? St Jakub? Too soon?

Also a learning experience for HFHabs, maybe don’t troll on the main boards, see what happens?

 

[behemolari]

I absolutely hate how Laine refused to shoot and started to play "neat" when it was 3-0, thats always on him

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Monty with an .818 save percentage. Lol

No team is winning with that crap.

 

[Habano]

A beating of epic proportions!! The type of loss that makes you hate the game for a few days.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Horrible game from almost everyone tbh

 

[Noble]

Yeah he pretended to make 48 saves on opening night when he was the only player that showed up.

Better start doing that again because tonight was a pathetic showing.

 

[OldCraig71]

Well, that wasn't what most thought would happen. We should have tightened things up after taking the 3-0 lead but we didn't. Don Cherry used to say it was good to get blown out and just forget it and move on. It sucks getting blown out against the Leafs or Bruins but oh well. It will be interesting to see if they are able to bounce back tomorrow.

 

[Cookie007]

Seems like lots of blown out games are games Monty plays. Seems like he has this give up attitude. No good for the future. Dobes is our number 1

 

[Habssince89]

A call up from laval for tomorrow would be awesome. Great way to move forward and shake the team up

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Pezz, Dvo and Newhook, get that out of here and find appropriate replacement !
Can't stand such turds.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Caufield 10 shots on goal. Crazy.

Our best player by far. A great game from him tonight and he wasn't rewarded.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I really cant take take watching Gallagher anymore.

He looks like a beer leaguer trying to play in the NHL.

 

[zx81]

Monty didn't have a great game but I don't think he gave up a softie. He did not make many big saves though.

I'm blaming MSL and Dvorak more. That Dvorak -Gally combo was f***ing terrible and should have been benched. Dvorak played 17 minutes and it's way too much. He wasn't even winning faceoffs. Not sure why MSL didn't keep using Andy with Armia and Evans .

Probably one of the worst game in a while for Hutson. He didn't look the same tonight. He didn't skate like he usually does and only made simple plays.

Game of the season tomorrow IMO.

 

[BLONG7]

Start Dobes 60 percent of the remaining games

Those footsteps Monty is hearing.......................are real.

 

[Rapala]

That's why I wasn't celebrating after the 1st. Just too much time left.

I agree there were some of us who were stressing the importance of keeping the pace up.
We started fumbling pucks and getting caught from behind when looking for plays instead of having that clean flow we've had for a decent part of that road trip. I'm worried about tomorrow.
Hutson hit a wall in this one he had nowhere near the jump we've seen from him recently and the results are what we are going to see when he's missing a step.
