Anyone else annoyed by the constant high flips this team does? I get we don't have a lot of guys who are competent at controlled zone exits/entries but my god is it frustrating to watch sometimes

 

[HabbyGuy]

He ain't wrong, Nick deserves more recognition than he gets.

 

[salbutera]

I can't believe Laine is still out! We should have kept Beck. He's better than Pezz.

I thought I read today they’re holding him out till tomorrows game

 

[SlafySZN]

This is the sharpest I’ve seen Monty in a while. Carrier has been awful but Savard is beyond done.

Don’t know where I saw that today but it was talking about Savard retiring at the end of the season

 

[ahmedou]

So far pretty decent

Arena is 80% habs fans lmao

There's 1909% Habs fans in Vancouver!

There's always 1909% Habs fans during the Canadiens away games at Canada!

I've always been a fan, last season was the only time I've been truly disappointed with him.

Despite reduced production, I find he's been playing the best hockey of his career this year. He's never been this good without the puck and on the forecheck. With a center who actually converts plays unlike Dvorak, he'd have a lot more points and goals.

 

[The Great Weal]

It’s not a coincidence that everyone looks worse when paired with Matheson

Matheson was covering for him all period while Carrier was getting rocked. Xhekaj was also babysitting Savard.

 

[ahmedou]

I want point 50 for Hutson.

 

[windycity]

At first I didn't see the Evans breakaway clearly but assume he got an unlucky love because Craig Button said it did - "puck kinda bobbled a bit" - yeah bc Evans has stone hands, the pass was perfect. And Armia's little flip pass was great. Too bad it wasn't Suzuki or Caufield receiving Heiney's pass. And I like Evans alot n and love his new deal

 

[zx81]

He suffers from what Slaf does at times

Not constantly moving

Toffolli realized that and he isnt fast but always in motion

Funny you said that because I thought the same thing. I think it's a matter of anticipation. To be constantly moving you have to anticipate better. It's why I said Roy looks lost. He will need ice time to get his mojo back but since we play important games he may not get it.I haven't given up on him.

 

[Bouboumaster]

@Bouboumaster Suzuki and Slaf goals, you just knew it lol

At this point, this is all I hope haha

I don't think playoffs are a possibility sadly, but as long as Suzuki, Slaf, Caufield and Hutson are getting points, I'm happy

Yeah there's many different ways to impact a game, he's been a factor all year.

If you’re happy then I’m happy

Montembeault really is a .900 goaltender.

League average is .901 so I expect him to be above average by end of season.

He's been playing well since 4 Nations break, too.

 

[SlafySZN]

Need a Caufield goal in the 2nd

 

[ahmedou]

Joshua Roys seems to be so stressed. On the ice. And at his RDS interview.

"Raise hand"

 

[Team_Spirit]

.900 is elite in 2025

 

[HabbyGuy]

Need a Caufield goal in the 2nd

From Hutson and Nick.

 

[le_sean]

Matheson was covering for him all period while Carrier was getting rocked. Xhekaj was also babysitting Savard.

I saw Carrier covering for Matheson. There was one rush where Matheson didn’t even move and Carrier had to go across the ice to defend it for him.

 

[ahmedou]

Nick Suzuki: 14 pts in 8 games since the 4 Nations Break

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Monty!! Damn

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

I find Carrier and Matheson are getting exposed more and more each passing game

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh Heineman!! So close

It's a strategy mastered by Robidas
