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

[WatchfulElm]

The Good: Matheson joining the rush
The Ugly: Matheson keeping the puck in the OZ

Matheson has more points than Karlsson.
This is an assets management failure of epic proportion from Pittsburgh.

Oh dear. I took a peak. Just a hatred handle for anything Kent Hughes.

 

[Riggins]

HabsExpat.

I'll never get those 5 minutes of my life back. He actually bitched about the Monahan trade. Poor guy, he's on there complaining to no audience.

 

[HuGort]

He has plenty of admirers this week.

He's been practicing sharp angles all week

Better there than here.

He really needs a meaningful hobby. And a hug.

Dallas social media arseholery.



“La” Montreal, huh?

 

[calder candidate]

Only saw the end of the 3rd but Slaf just missed on a tab in. Armia also had a couple of chances off very good plays…
That seem like the kind of game we want regardless of the outcome, looking at the shots maybe not so much…
Still Too many turn over.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

Perfect loss. I missed the 3rd, but seemed like the team competed, but they're not skilled, so they lost.

Too many penalties taken and a complete inability to do anything remotely effective on the PP sunk the team. It's been like that for years now. Always the same story. At least they can compete 5 on 5.

 

[The Real Timo]

Corey Perry looking good in Edm. Jus' sayin'

... and good god PLD is useless.

It's probably that Texas accent.

I think any other teams would not have withstood the Habs comeback last night. But Dallas are among the elite of the league this year. Proud of our team. It is very encouraging.

What are you talking about ? They were outshot 40 to 20 ! They were lucky to lose by one goal only.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Marty doesn't like using Suzuki on the PK if he doesn't have to. He will do it when we are down a goal which isn't dumb.
I wish Suzuki was on the end of one of those glorious opportunities Armia and Matheson had. I also like the new dimension Gignac brings with his speed.
I'd use Suzuki with him for the give and go opportunities similar to what Armia missed on. I'm really looking forward to seeing Gignac in OT.

Matheson, after handling a bouncing, wobbly pass, hit the post on his chance on the penalty kill. The question is: is there one other player on Montreal who has the skating ability, situational awareness and offensive instincts to create and execute that 2 on 1 with Gignac?

As I have said here many times over the years: you trade away the type of elite skating Matheson possesses at your team’s peril.

Fortunately, Hughes is far too smart to make that error unless he receives a huge bounty.

 

[SlafySZN]

Oh dear. I took a peak. Just a hatred handle for anything Kent Hughes.

And still bitching about Slaf lol.

Liked a tweet that said he’s a middle six player and it wouldn’t be good if other players around him (in the draft) are superstars.

So i guess he’s still holding for dear life about hating Slaf too.

A rare game where the tankers and competitive committee can shake hands and be happy with the outcome

There's only a few things that put someone on my ignore list, and one of them is a clear intention of being right over anything else.

He has never wanted Slaf to succeed, he has only ever wanted to be right. Got no time for people like that.

I’ve just catched the thread title, good one Runner! Haha

Stars D is putrid, they won’t go far in the playoffs without some upgrades on D

Well said. It was an entertaining game where our talent challenged team put in a great effort against a contending team. Their play and effort killing off that four minute penalty late in game where the Canadiens created more scoring chances than the Stars should be seen as one of the high- lights of the season.

Some can fairly question MSL’s coaching decisions but no one can question that this collection of players, the good, bad and ugly, will skate through a wall for this coach. They seldom fail to compete. And for that reason alone, MSL should earn our respect. He is the right coach, during this clearly obvious rebuilding phase, for this young and, at most times, entertaining team.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

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

typical of players who have to give 110% to have a place in the league.

You admitted to doing the same with prospects in the past.

 

[26Mats]

However, this guy scored again! And had several chances.

Suzuki also found the net and Caufield extended his consecutive games point streak to 11!

Discuss!

I was hoping for gifs and artwork that had references from the reference of the title...

 

[Rapala]

I know he makes alot of mistakes but his good play outweighs the bad in a huge way. Habs fleeced Pittsburgh.

He has been playing a much better game when paired with Guhle.
I don't think it's remotely close to how bad he was when paired with anyone else.
This Matheson I can live with despite the odd bobble trying to hold the line.
The other Matheson I couldn't and wouldn't stomach.
