[Miller Time]

Every once in a while the team shows what it could be in the future and it's a beautiful thing

Future is bright

 

[HabbyGuy]

Just an all around great road game.

You couldn't have written a better script for this result.

Kirby looking like himself (finally) Dobes looking calm, comfortable and steady. The whole team did what they had to do.

Won me 212 bucks for their efforts!

Good day.

 

[Sagikev]

Couldn't watch the game as I'm playing dnd with buddies, how was Dobes overall? What about Dach? Actually who was good, who was bad, etc.?

 

[Tuggy]

Great game all around.

Dobes looked big in the net and very calm.

Habs looking like a different team with Laine and now Carrier. They still have issues of course, but they actually look like a competitive team night in and night out now.

 

[the valiant effort]

The Panthers are in the mid-season blahs waiting for the playoffs but you can’t take anything away from this win. Solid, solid effort from the usual suspects and some nice bounces for Dach.

It would be amazing if Dobes never looked back.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Dobes has a unique style fans will love him.

Happy for Dach let's hope he turned the corner.

Cheers

What’s this about? I seem to have been on another planet.

For those curious I believe the last Hab rookie goalie to pitch a shut out in their first game was Yann Danis against the Thrashers almost 20 years ago.

 

[Habs13]

darn missed the game....

well gents???

Dach nets two, Newhook gets two apples, Evans hits a shortie again, Caufield hits his 18th, Xhekaj mauls a bitch and Dobes makes a 33 save shut out!

 

[windycity]

Primewho?

Poor kid, I hope he finds his NHL game

Dobes is Dobby from harry potter because I am a brainrot millenial

Six years to the day since we last won in Florida against the Cats!!

Remember the hype around him?

Just had to miss the game and starting to see the highlights:

wow, Dach's first goal was all Laine. He drew 3 Panthers players to him, opening up the ice, then found a teammate with a good pass, which resulted in another passing play in the open ice for a goal. Laine doesn't get an assist, but he created the scoring opportunity.

 

[ryan callahan]

Xhekaj plays 16 hard minutes and fights a guy who played 7 minutes. X is more valuable playing tough hockey and not fighting 4th line useless slugs.

Agreed. Was worried a bit with X at the start of the year but he's been a pillar in our recent resurgence. As long as he plays physical and defense and sometimes uses his hard shot (without killing possession) he will have a long NHL career. With Hutson and Engstrom doing great in Laval he won't need to be a puck carrier in his prime.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pretty perfect road game.

Suzuki line shut down Barkov line & when McLean moved Barkov off him to Dach line to generate offense Suzuki line scored (Caufield). Loved it.

D was steady & did a good job defending the slot. Dobes looked big & confident. He moved the puck well. Awesome shut-out against a top team for his debut.

Jake & Armia, PK super duo. Another goal from Jakie.

Dach scoring & Newhook assisting if those 2 get going giving this team a 2nd line that's a game changer.

Hardly any penalties called. The game flowed well. Didn't hate the refs at all.

Solid team game. Everyone worked hard & brought it.

 

[EveryDay]

Armia is +9 in his last 5 games, it's crazy.

 

[Andy]

Add Demidov and add a top pairing defender (they have the assets) and the team will start to get there

 

[FLHabs]

Let the Dobes hype begin! This win makes up for the Columbus loss, now the Habs have to keep that same energy for Tampa and Vegas.

Glad to see Dach slowly getting back into form, the team needs him to play like this every game.

Hughes is going to get lots of calls for Evans, but I don't think he'll trade him unless they're completely out of it by the trade deadline which is getting less and less likely. GHG!!!

 

[26Mats]

Great game all around.

Dobes looked big in the net and very calm.

Habs looking like a different team with Laine and now Carrier. They still have issues of course, but they actually look like a competitive team night in and night out now.

you tend to look better now when you try to get players that are best now rather than try to develop failing players like Primeau and Barron.

I remember watching this on my 32 inch tube JVC in moms basement.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Merry Christmas to all, even the haters and the losers

 

[FLHabs]

Armia is +9 in his last 5 games, it's crazy.

Getting the call to the 4 nations cup really awakened something in him, he's been a different player since.

5'11 undrafted goalie...
