GDT: Game 73: Habs @ Panthers, Sun March 30th - 1 PM | TSN2, RDS

Reinbacher is basically Savard but with great skating.

And better puck handling/passing. Savard carries the puck like a grenade at times.

I forgot about him. I wish his numbers were as good as his defensive contribution.

His offensive numbers are actually top tier when you dig deeper. He has one less 5v5 point than Matheson while playing ~30 games less. The last two years before, he ranked around the mid-range top pairing Ds at 5v5. He also has some of the heaviest defensive deployment in the league.

Your own words were that Suzuki was good but not great for most of this season and now you're saying he's levelled up since that season. It's alright to just admit you're wrong man, we've all been there.

My words were that Suzuki needed to step up and play like a number one. He had the ability but hadn’t been consistent. Nobody would’ve called him a number one two years ago. He did what he had to do. Stepped up and became a legit number one.

You aren’t giving him enough credit if you think he’s just a product of better linemates. It’s definitely true, but he’s a way better player himself.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Hes improved every year as a pro...
and
You underestimated him for years

I said he has unfulfilled potential. And I was right.

 

[Mrb1p]

And better puck handling/passing. Savard carries the puck like a grenade at times.

I dont agree. Savard has his warts, but offensively hes pretty top notch, hes just let down by his skating and cardio a lot.

He was basically a GOAT offensive D in the Q and very good in the AHL.

Xhekaj out while Savard is still in is f***ing bullshit

Ordinarily, I’d agree. Savard has some utility in shot blocking, but outside of that, he’s a pylon. Xhekaj brings a physical edge, knocking heads, etc,.`- lately, he hasn't been much better than Savard in his own zone. At least Savard’s been doing what little he can, blocking shots since the start of this road trip. Xhekaj, on the other hand, didn’t even do his thing - he was practically invisible in the Blues game. Habs could have use him then. A bit of time off might give him a chance to pounder things; he can come back when he's ready to do his thing.

 

[the valiant effort]

Bit of an obnoxious d pass from Matheson there….

 

[Mrb1p]

Gally whining on the ice instead of going back on the bench. I hate him sometimes.

 

[Le Tricolore]

lmao gallagher

that should obviously be a penalty..

 

[Team_Spirit]

Shut up Gally they hate your ass

 

[MarkJ]

Gallagher rule 45.2

 

[le_sean]

Just screamed at my TV. Stop complaining and get off the f***ing ice Gallagher

 

[domiwroze]

Why don't they call that? it's an automatic

 

[Miller Time]

I said he has unfulfilled potential. And I was right.

You said a lot of other things that were wrong then and definitively wrong in hindsight.

But, welcome aboard the Suzuki bus!

 

[Skip Bayless]

So you just can take one guy's stick just like that?

I didn't know that.

Alright.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Wondered what Gallagher was yapping about but that was a clear as day holding call.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Gallagher is mad because he's bald

 

[Gravity]

What a missed call. That was clearly holding. He threw Gallagher's stick away!

 

[the]

The heart and soul guy.

 

[Mrb1p]

Shut up Gally they hate your ass

Ayo?

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Gallagher is mad because he's bald

That's why I'm always pissed off here.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Why don't they call that? it's an automatic

because it's late in the third in a close game and refs feel like that by calling a penalty they're impacting the game too much. they don't realize not calling it is actually the issue.

and the league either doesn't care or specifically tells them to do that.

 

[le_sean]

Seek help

I think it’s time for the ignore list. Pathetic agenda

 

[the]

Nail bitting ending. This will feel like an eternity.
