Post-Game Talk: Game 4: The MSL OT Hour

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Staal and Girardi...were not very good...in fact, uncharacteristically bad.

Yup. Staal looked off all night. Girardi was pretty bad, but he was better than Staal, and made the head's up play on Brassard's goal.

Also, I thought Stralman had an excellent game. Only reason Staal wasn't on the ice for 5 GA.

I usually will rip Hagelin due to him going to Michigan, I can't help it! However tonight and this series he's just been great, what a smart play to find MSL and a great SHG. He's been huge!

This is a much better feeling going into Tuesday's game than it was going into tonight.

Of course I'm still gonna be nervous and scared. But tonight it was "we really gotta win but even if we do we don't actually win anything yet." On Tuesday the stakes are just as high but it's gonna be "tonight could be the night."

So satisfying to see you guys beat the Habs. I'm forgetting all about being bitter for you guys beating us a few years ago in the playoffs.

 

[nevesis]

Hagelin
Boyle
MSL

HM: Hank

Hank would be in there if not for that Bouillon goal.

I guess you forgot about that save in the 1st period.

Callahan is watching his buddies from the couch approach the finals because he didn't fire his agent or lower his demands.

Suppose that's a lesson in itself.

I'm going to send Cally a very big THANK YOU card.

Well, we wouldn't be here if we had re-signed him, quite frankly.

Anyone using the term "Rongos" isn't much of a fan, FWIW.

Really?

Rongos. Rongos. Rongos.

 

[Tawnos]

Stralman left his man and went across ice for no reason letting the Habs get that break and goal. Wonder why he did that? Kind of uncharacteristic of him.

I think that he thought the backcheck was either closer or coming faster than it actually was.

We only beat them in this game. The series is not over yet.

Thank you Based Louis

The one on Gionta?

Was a very good save, but Gionta was also a bit handcuffed and the puck bounced on him a bit, gave Hank time to come across and close off the lower half of the net.

Hank was very good, but that Bouillon goal still has odor on it, to me.

Actual tears of laughter

 

[Placid]

Hags has been amazing, he needs more minutes IMO.

Im not sure if he does. The nice line rolling that AV is doing is keeping people fresh for MUCH longer, that might be just what allows Hags to be as explosive every shift as he is. Give him 5 minutes more every game, and wear and tear might reduce his impact.

Now, if its a couple of games into the finals, i'd say pull out all the stops, but we still have a potential 10 games left at this point

Stralman dashed across the ice for no reason to cover a Hab who was already covered, letting the Habs get the goal on the rush. Not sure why he did that. It was an awful play.

Cool. Still didn't save the Bouillon goal

Cool story bro why don't you explain that statement?

Makes me wonder what will be done with him after this season is done...

Whatever it is that has Hagelin playing this way, it is so welcome. He is a real bright spot.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Such an awesome win.

Probably the worst reffed game (or top 10 at least) that I have seen in over 20 years of watching the sport.

Thought that was Girardi. If it was Stralman, yeah, bad play. Regardless of who it was, it was bad.
