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

[The Great Weal]

Idk why some pretend montys been good this year. He's a sub .900 and almost a 3.00 gaa.

That's not good.

The team was allowing an unprecedented amount of high danger scoring chances before the Carrier trade. He’s more than fine splitting the starting role. He’s stolen way more then he’s given up, there are way bigger issues.

 

[Kennedys]

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

Pezzetta should never play another NHL game unless it's with the Sharks or Hawks

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

This one feels like our season. We got neutered by our biggest rival tonight.

Nah.

We're the hottest team in the league. We got out goaltended tonight. We continue to progress and that's all that matters. We may not make the playoffs this season but most didn't expect to.

We lost a game. No biggie.

Picked a good game to not watch it appears.

How did we go from 3-0 to 7-3?

 

[WentWughes]

Oh well, good lesson to not let up with a big lead. Bad game from everyone but still optimistic about this team. The real progress will be made when Dvo and Gally can he replaced with players that can actually contribute offensively. Hage, Demi, Reinbacher, Beck and Fowler are on the way plus hopefully two more big pieces drafted this year. The future is crazy bright.

...lots of mistakes and penalties...kids' gotta learn...

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

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

Hard lesson for a young team. I’m not tank obsessed, ya never trade rising-team success for modest gain in draft position, but there ARE needs.

They *can* be filled thru other avenues, but it’d be nice to fill them at the draft.

Dvorak.

We had a glorious scoring chance while up 3-0. Dvorak rang it off the crossbar. The puck went the other way and the Leafs scored. Woll shut the door after that.

It was all she wrote.

 

[HabsCode]

At least Detroit and Pittsburgh lost.

 

[River Meadow]

Monty is a B goalie.

We've been had.

At least Detroit and Pittsburgh lost.

We need those teams to win.

 

[Hullois]

It was only one game in January folks there are people in tears in Detroit right now

 

[Canadienna]

Montembeault has not being an impact player this season. He was 0.900 before tonight. Habs are in the mix in spite of him not because.

He has an outsized impact on the game, regardless of if that impact is positive or negative. That is what I was saying.

The team was allowing an unprecedented amount of high danger scoring chances before the Carrier trade. He’s more than fine splitting the starting role. He’s stolen way more then he’s given up, there are way bigger issues.

Montembeault has a .891 sv% in his last 20 games and .886 sv% in his last 10.

Let's stop pretending.

 

[HabsCode]

We need those teams to win.

Why?

 

[donghabs98]

Regardless of if we're winning or not this can't go on. It makes no sense to dress someone who won't play beyond 5 minutes.

 

[Fuonki]

Laine being net neutral for "team defense" on this stat is absolutely hilarious considering how 2 Toronto goals came directly from his turnovers. Garbage stat

 

[Habssince89]

Montembeault has a .891 sv% in his last 20 games and .886 sv% in his last 10.

Can you list the games? I'm interested

It was all she wrote.

From the highlights it seems like we could have easily scored more than 3 goals tonight had it not been for Woll or better puck luck.

The defense coming unglued though and continuing to take so many penalties are a bit concerning. Hoping this loss will mean the boys will come out hungry tomorrow.

 

[River Meadow]

Why?

I don't know if I'm allowed to say it.

But essentially, for draft positioning.

[nhlfan9191]

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.

Montembault was signed as a cheap stop gap until the younger guys coming up could push him out. The turn around this season mixed with the weak eastern conference playoff race is putting us in a position I don’t think even Hughes projected for this season. Primeau playing himself out of the league so Dobes could get into a rotation was also unexpected.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

That was rough. But I’m not ready to do a complete 180 on the team after 3 periods of hockey. Some of you are truly dorks

And they played great at first, could easily have been 4 or 5-0 but Woll made key saves, Monty didn't. Shit happens.
