Post-Game Talk: Dobby and the Habs defeat the Stars in Dallas

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Youth is coming. Heineman could take on a bigger role next season. Tuch will be knocking on the door. Beck/Kapanen too. Who knows, we might sign Olivier.

Dvorak is gone. That opens a spot for Beck. Armia is almost a perfect bottom 6 player and is superior to Tuch/Kapanen.

What a f***ing beast when he's on his game

I like this Armia but let's not forget how bad he looked for years. It's a contract year for him, still not convinced that he'll keep this up. Can look like a monster when on but like complete trash when off. Cheap short term extension sure but don't overpay for that guy.

Just beat the hottest team in the league. Awesome

We didn't beat ourselves. What are you talking about?

You’ve obviously not watched what the Bruins have been doing lately. Grand larceny? Armed robbery? In comparison, this might be the level of forgetting to return a library book.

That's why they are this:

At least Armia was a beast in the playoffs during the run , he picks his spots forsure

 

[EveryDay]

Hard to get rid of Savard, Evans and Armia. We still need them for next season.

Its time to call 2 forwards from Laval to see who could play on the bottom lines when we trade Dvorak and maybe Armia.

 

[HuGo Sham]

This is a crazy f***ing run

 

[Runner77]

You love to see it — Habs standing up for their goalie.

 

[HabSgt]

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Dobes is a find, Lane is the real deal & les boys are channeling Les Glorieux from the 70s…maybe the 50s. Just need our Rocket.

Cannot wait for the Maple Leafs on Saturday. If we win I’m going streaking down the streets of Toronto.

11-2-1 since I been in Ontario.

 

[OldCraig71]

Armia in a contract year is a way different player. Only 1 year deals for him for now on!

Armia became possessed when Laine was activated from injury. He, Evans, and Heineman had been good before the others put it all together. He put on a clinic tonight.

 

[Kennerback]

It’s hard to criticize anyone when you keep winning. Everyone’s doing most things right. Maybe Pezzetta stopping his dumb penalties. If I want to be really picky, I could say Matheson should keep things simple. Otherwise, everything is great and Demidov’s on the way.

 

[Redux91]

I can't lie
That's one of the most incredible shifts I've ever seen in my life

3 hits. Without a stick. Almost clears. Helps clear.

Big big game for Joel
Rumor has it he truly loves it here and the guys too so if he's willing to take like 3mill he can stay , for sure

 

[Rafafouille]

Seriously?

First of all, he's not the worst player in the NHL away from the face-off circle. That's just an idiotic claim.

Secondly, he was the only Canadien all night who won more face-offs than he lost, in fact, nobody in the game for either team won more face-offs than he did.

If it really needs to be explained to you how important face-off wins are, find someone else to do it, becuase this kind of ridiculous conversation is not what I come here for.

Get a clue.

Illustrated Review: Searching for a link between face-off wins and longterm success

One of the latest hot topics among NHL stat-heads centers around faceoffs and figuring out their long-term impact on a team. Here's a look at if there's a discernable effect.

They're really not. Being good at faceoffs is a greatly overrated quality.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Montreal & Ottawa are tied. Both are 1 pt back of Boston with 2 games in hand. 2 pts back of Columbus with 1 game in hand, and 3 pts back of #3 Atlantic spot (TB has 1 game in hand).

Yo-Elle ever since Laine arrived is starting to show us his real power level. He kept it concealed all these years but he’s powering up now. Who knows what his real peak is.

 

[themilosh]

11-2-1 in the last 13 games.

Amazing game again
Dobes seems to be legit, another top team and he's 4-0-0 and the stats of a starter.

Both WC spots are in reach.

Realistically for the remainder of this year I'd say 3rd place is up for grabs, but i think the CH will earn a WC spot even though this hot streak can't last

I don't think he is superior to either of them, certainly not Kapanen. He is not a perfect bottom 6 player. He does nothing offensively. He is a good player but Habs need more forwards who can put up points.

[The Real Timo]

If we win our game in hand, we take either wild card spot.

We should do that.
