Post-Game Talk: Flightless Jets (Avro Arrow) beat the Lowly Habs

[Kennerback]

It’s clear that Dach and Slaf are fire and ice together. Instead of a slow-moving trainwreck Slaf looked really good away from Dach.

Well that was depressing. Time for something to cheer me up. Hmmm how about 'Halloween 5 the Revenge of Michael Myers'? Sounds Christmas-y.

Glad to see Hutson's first NHL goal. Kid is a gamer!

Games before the XMas break are Sabres, Red Wings x2 & the BJs. 4 in a row coming up?

Since I am heading to Ontario for the holidays & I am doubtful what kind of internet connection awaits me there I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & a Happy New Year! May we all watch better games in the year to come.

If I am gone too long send sled dogs with rum to retrieve me.

The Jets beat us with a short burst.
Goals 2 odd minutes apart sparked by a bad Dach penalty in the O zone.
Kept it rolling after that and then stopped playing in the third.
Seen this game before now 0-13-0 when down after 2 periods.

 

[Habby4Life]

Good effort.

Excellent game by Monty, and glad Lane got his.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Hate losing to that fake tough guy crack head

 

[the]

7 shots for Laine. How didn't he score tonight? That's insane!

 

[Schooner Guy]

Winnable game lost by terrible coaching yet again. Why change strategy right?

Just curious. What did the coaches do wrong tonight? We were right in it against a better team and I liked the adjustments they made with the D. We actually outscored them 5 on 5.

 

[Habs]

I hear if Kevin Reinbacher is available top 3 in this years draft we grab him over Hagens , Misa or Portone

 

[Habby4Life]

Such a weird stat, the habs have not had one game with more than 30 shots.

 

[le_sean]

We are right where we should be on paper

That’s not what was sold to us

 

[Kennerback]

Will we have a similar celebration when Newhook makes his first assist this season!?! Maybe even an announcement by Michel Lacroix?

 

[Runner77]

Holy smokes, Marty's reaction is priceless.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The highlight package Jen showed for Habs was f***ing pathetic.

Shots from far out, no screen. The one good chance was from close and Helly didn't have to move.

Matheson and co burned by leaving that guy wide open.


Team needs to be way smarter and get better shots if they want to be anything close to good..

 

[HabbyGuy]

Another not unexpected good effort that has become the norm in the past 6 weeks. despite what the echo chamber have been trying to insinuate.

This roster is young and full of holes, but the effort has been there. Individualistic mistakes aside.

Good game, I enjoyed it.

Refs robbed us of a fighting chance at the end.

if only one was fire and the other, ice. Sadly, both are ice.

Doing his best Julien impression.

Hard fought 3rd. Penalties killed them. Montembeault played well. Matheson f***ed up the 6 on 5 situation. Not really surprising.

I'm not too disappointed. Team forced Helleybuck to make some good saves. Congratulations to Hutson on his 1st NHL goal. Laine was shooting tonight. He wanted one. Crowd was into it & there was even a Go Habs Go chant as they were trying to tie it.

The next 4 games before Xmas break are all winnable ones. We're home to Buffalo, have a home & home series with Detroit & we play @ Columbus on the 23rd.

Primeau is going to have to play one game against Detroit. I'd give him the Montreal game Saturday night. Montembeault gets 2 days off now before the Buffalo game. He'd get another 2 days off before playing in Detroit then another 2 days before playing @ Columbus. Otherwise it's 2, 3 & 1 rest days. 2, 2 & 2 seems better.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Tell me there’s someone in this draft that can be an impact player for us?

 

[Trabdy2]

Tell me there’s someone in this draft that can be an impact player for us?

If we pick high enough, yes. We gotta draft bottom 4 and we'd be adding a pretty nice piece.

 

[Habby4Life]

Hagens or Misa

 

[Tuggy]

I thought the Habs played decent, the Jets are just better.

 

[Rapala]

I've liked our possession time on the PP lately but...
Slaf can't just hang off to the side of the net all the time.
He needs to slide out to screen goaltenders on occasion when our three lads up top are in control.
Send him some Kreider film or even Monahan film when he played that spot those guys switch it up.
All three of Suzuki Hutson and Laine are good at getting pucks through use it.
If Slaf can't do this simple thing replace him with Heineman and ask him to do it.

 

[Trabdy2]

Habs started and finished strong, but the middle was nasty.

Any game Primeau plays cannot be labeled a winnable game
