I can't believe its a tie game

 

[The Real Timo]

I need to go make more chicken wings... this f***ing stresses me out... and when I stress out I eat.

Is the empty net goal? The answer is no!!!

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Is Hughes TSN interview available anywhere yet? I missed it...

He didn't really say anything new

 

[HuGo Sham]

Hutson - Reinbacher
Guhle - ??????? Mailloux?
Xhekaj/Struble - Carrier

Hopefully one or two of Mailloux, engstrom and Reinbacher step up

 

[Favster]

I really like Struble. He could be a bottom pair rock on this team for a long time. A rare combination of speed and strength.

 

[HabbyGuy]

This team is all guts. Proud of them, this sched has been brutal.

20 more minutes.

 

[Hannibal]

We are so lucky. In recent games, we play bad, but we somehow always 1 goal down and manage to come back.

We need to correct this, because against bad teams its working, but against washington, it wont.

Let's face fact, there's nothing you can do, he's too beautiful.

 

[Tuggy]

Game is 60 minutes...First half of the game the Habs were flat as hell but Monty kept them in it.

Habs played more inspired last ten minutes.

Win the 3rd period and knock these Wings out.

Hutson - Reinbacher
Guhle - ??????? Mailloux?
Xhekaj/Struble - Carrier

No. Can’t have two rookies in the lineup. And Reinbacher shouldn’t play that high, he’s barely played

 

[Rozz]

thank God were outta the first 40 tied 1-1

and que the big third!

 

[Kennerback]

Is the empty net goal? The answer is no!!!

[The Great Weal]

Hutson - Reinbacher
Guhle - ??????? Mailloux?
Xhekaj/Struble - Carrier

Charlie McAvoy

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Mailloux is far from being an NHLer.

That's why I put player ???????? before Mailloux, we might have to trade for player ???????? to play 2nd pair RD

 

[Miller Time]

Words can’t describe how much I despise our penalty kill. Way too passive. Just asking to be scored on.

Yet it is top 11 in the league (possibly top 10 after tonight)...

Hating a strength of the team you cheer for is an interesting approach to being a fan lol

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Hopefully one or two of Mailloux, engstrom and Reinbacher step up

My bet is they reunite the guhle-Carrier pairing and have a rotation for their bottom pair if Matheson is gone

TSN turning point right there boys....

 

[JustAHabFan]

For the tying goal, the assist went to Matheson. I thought it was Hutson who gave the puck to Suzuki?

 

[Banjo Cat]

Montembault is already 28, but I think he has been slowly improving with experience.

 

[OldCraig71]

People are so brain-washed by Carey Price that they dont know what middle of the road quality starting is.

I was going to mention that in my post but yeah, people overlook the contribution in goal. They are outshooting us 34-11 but we have a chance to win the game. It should be 4-1 for the Wings right now.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

On the Habs goal Slafkovsky made an excellent forecheck, hit & puck steal to get it set-up. No points but the guy is a beast along the boards.

Caufield at net front picking up the rebound of a Matheson shot - who finally f***ing hit the net.- and picked up his 1st point in like a month.

A much more evenly played period.

 

[the]

They should have stopped the game when Caufield scored and do a 10 min ceremony to Suzuki for breaking Kovalev’s 84 points season record.
