Post-Game Talk: Dallas does MTL in a close one!

[Rapala]

Slafkovsky & Suzuki scored 2 great goals. Caufield extended his points streak to 11 games, and Newhook came out flying. Those 4 were our best forwards by far.

Gignac might be able to stick around just as a pker. His speed is Byron-like. Armia played well too, although he took out RHP.

Pearson-Evans-Anderson line all pretty much sucked.

Final minute with net empty was brutal.

Fun game to watch. Montreal played well in 1st & 3rd, pked well throughout, but had a terrible 2nd period.

Just the recurring second period gaffes that are killing us. Washington and now Dallas totally dominated us. It's a strategic fault that has to get fixed.

Tank on

 

[Runner77]

Chadkovsky's goal had Dr. Shot written all over it.



Plus, love the Drake!

 

[Andrei79]

I thought Newhook played well but you can feel Monahan is not there anymore.

The scouting staff can feel it too.

One fell swoop on reception. A beauty.

 

[Kimota]

Newhook was completely lost on the ice at the end. You could see it had been a time he had not played. The guys on the ice were on a particular wavelenght and he was on another.

 

[LV426]

No complaints. Played cup contenders to the last minute. Good effort is all I want. Slaf and Suz scored. Alls good in Habsland.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

They kept getting hemmed in their zone.

We need to get rid of all of them. All 3 are useless. Ylonen isn't much better.

Suzuki line & Newhook are our only scoring threats, but Armia, Pezzetta & Gignac are at least working hard & doing their jobs out there.

 

[Habs13]

If Slafkovsky can keep it up and score a goal in every three games to end the season, he's a 20 goal scorer. I think he does it.

 

[Tuggy]

RHP injured again...can't stay healthy.

 

[Runner77]

With credit to @Koivu11 , this is the most badass, chadest gif of Chadkovsky ever and deserves a repost.

 

[FLHabs]

Suzuki with 25:23 TOI. No other Habs forward played 20 minutes although Caufield was really close with 19:51 TOI and Slaf with 19:30 TOI. MSL really playing the crap out of Suzuki.

I have no idea what they're trying to do with Arber but I much prefer the rough and physical Arber from last season.

I think Suzuki's ice time is because of the RHP injury and lots of PKs and PPs.

About Xhekaj, he might be thinking too much trying to play a solid D game and not getting any penalties. Last year he was playing free and just doing his thing, but this year he's already been sent down and benched/scratched.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I wonder who gets promoted with RHP out for a while. Shame for him, he was showing more positive things as of late.

Probably bring back Condotta again.

 

[teamfirst]

This game was the perfect way to describe our season, cant play a good 60 minutes, one good period one bad, one good game one bad, hopes Msl find a way to correct that next season

 

[salbutera]

... Why is Letowski above any reproach?

What would you like him to do resurrect Lafleur or Rocket?

 

[Chili]

True most of our Horses are pygmy ponies.

My bad with the cliché...although here's another:

Noticed this last year how few players Dallas had to use. Again this season only 23 players used (Habs are up to 32 players used). The Habs faced their A1 lineup today, they must be among the leaders in fewest man games lost. Do these guys have horseshoes up their.....

This was interesting about Pezz.

 

[BergevinBurner]

We competed against a top team, didn't pick up any points and Slaf continues to make me eat crow.
It's a win-win-win!

I’m actually shocked this team without Dach & Newhook have been able to stay .500…. nothing short of remarkable

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This was interesting about Pezz.

He's a good 13th man. He goes out and works hard, hits, can play all 3 forward positions, can cycle, pk & is decent enough defensively. He fights occasionally too, and does all that without taking dumb penalties.

The guy never lays off a hit.

 

[SlafySZN]

Roy is getting called up.

Anthony Marcotte just tweeted that he is off the rocket line up last second.

Agree with you there, mostly beceause of our goalie tho still to me it looks like we can't find a way to minimize damages when the momentum changes, probably part of it is due to inexperience but it will have to change at somepoint, next year will be very telling on that matter

He has plenty of admirers this week.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Probably bring back Condotta again.

I'd be happy with that. He played well enough and added an element that the team needs.
