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

[zx81]

Sad thing is he had worked his way down to -4 from like -13, so this game pushed him back quite a bit again.

It was obvious Leafs had heavily planned for him. They pressured him hard over anyone else on the ice & gave him no room to operate. The result was turnovers. He needs to learn in those situations that forcing things is never the right move.

Dallas did the same thing . I think he's being noticed now and other teams are adjusting. Gotta be interesting to see how he will react in the next few weeks.

 

[holy]

Well we have guys on here saying he's been great and stealing games all year but that hasn't really been the case.

I noticed that too. That's why I didn't really see the Huet comparisons making sense, that dude was a friggin beast in 05-06.

I think Dobes can be something special. A good ole goalie controversy though, Montreal Typical lol.

 

[BLONG7]

Pretty obvious Montembault has a pattern...play 3 -4 good games in a row and then lay an absolute stinker every 4th/5th one

And when I say stinker, I mean let in 4 or more goals. This is why he will never be a true #1 goalie

True, been saying the same for a while now.............not that he is not a decent goalie, and can play great at times.................when he is bad, he lets 3-4 goals in, and poof game over..........he usually does it in the 1st period........tonight he waited.

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

That was his problem in Columbus, he wasn't scoring, he was trying to create plays. He's great at it, but shooting is his strength. MSL should have a word with him.

 

[Hannibal]

That lost sucks.

Hutson, Dvo and Mounty were atrocious.

 

[Benning]

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.

Team Canada keeps wanting French goalies too, right? Montembault has stolen plenty of games. It's kind of incredible you've already forgotten this. You're having a tantrum. Whatever... Keep your "French trash" comments to yourself. Just because you're a self-loathing francophone doesn't mean we all are.

I've never been convinced in Montembeault as our guy going forward and I've been vocal on that for a while. I don't like his positioning, his lateral movement, and his puck handling. When you look at the attributes of the best goalies in the league, Monty is lacking in comparison.

I think he can be a really solid backup goalie, maybe even a tandem goalie, but if we're expecting him to be our full time starter when were a contending team then we're going to have a real bad time.

Laine is only good on the PP this season. He's terrible 5vs5

 

[Hannibal]

Woll did what Mounty sucks at.

 

[VT]

I don't even want them to make them to make the playoffs this year. That was it right there. This team is not ready. We need Ivan, reinbacher and something else.

We have most of the pieces. But we're not ready yet

That's what Buffalo fans had to tell themselves.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...2 bad periods, kids...relax...yeah, it sucks it was against the Laffs, but it is what it is...

 

[sampollock]

Learned a lesson
When you are up
Stop taking penalties

 

[Kennedys]

Dach is really good lately but he have to carry the corpse of Laine at 5vs5 and Newhook

 

[VT]

Laine is only good on the PP this season. He's terrible 5vs5

He quite well in the third period. Obviously, he's not ideal, but he's only played 17 games, and he had the flu in January. I wrote that don't expect him to play great until late January-early February.

Tbh that line needs someone that can cycle. Anderson would work there as Laine doesn’t have the speed to beat anyone to the puck.

 

[Hullois]

Watched Hutson on l'antichambre. Perfect reaction. He was pissed. It was obvious. Sometimes you need those along the way to shape you as a player.

 

[Bouboumaster]

OMG

This game sucked!!

 

[Rapala]

Woll did what Mounty sucks at.

Looking Big in the net...

Dobes has that in spades.

Any video of this? Maybe he's running into a wall?

 

[OldCraig71]

Monty is a backup level goalie who played as our starter because we didn't have anyone better. He's not a #1 on a contending team (which we aren't yet anyway) but Dobes will take his spot soon enough.

As good as Dobes has looked in his 4 starts, it's a bit premature to think that Monty won't bounce back and that Dobes is anywhere near ready to take over the number-one spot.

Monty didn't play well in this one but he did have a 47 save performance against the Leafs which was a game we had no business winning.

My take from this game was that it felt like watching an OHL team lose, they didn't know how to tighten things defensively. They should have come out in the second and played a very conservative game but instead, they reverted back to the earlier play of this season. I would have started Dobes btw but it is what it is.

For what it's worth, the Canucks are up 3-0 on the Oilers in the first period in a dominant performance. I wonder if that holds?

 

[SlafySZN]

Laine is only good on the PP this season. He's terrible 5vs5

He’s been better in the last few games at 5 on 5. Not that much tonight but in general.

 

[CharleyHorse]

I guess the days of getting embarrassed on home ice aren't over.

Pittsburgh was embarrassing. Tonight is a learning opportunity.

 

[VT]

He’s been better in the last few games at 5 on 5. Not that much tonight but in general.

So I'm comparing to his past games.

You know this playing Pezzetta 3min a game stuff is really starting to f*** up our rhythm for a full game, it’s so bizarre. If we don’t call someone up for tomorrow I’m at a loss for words
