We are winning and that all that matters. Let’s keep it up.

 

[Mrb1p]

I'm okay with him making that mistake but there's no need to go for a big hit at that point of the game with the score 2-0. It's common sense man....

Why not? Animals cannot he tamed. Guhle is good because hes such an animal.

 

[Riddick412]

Switch Demidov and slaf next period. Do it MSL. Do it.

 

[Nicko999]

If it's wasn't Demigod, Habs would 3 shots on goal and no goals in the first.

 

[The Great Weal]

Just chiming in to say DEMIDOV!!!! on pace for 6 ppg. Love seeing new talent flourishing, you guys must be loving this.

Just send us McDavid so he can play with him

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

He's putting up Mesar like numbers

 

[Nedved]

Can Demidov be a PPG player next year? Back to back calder trophies?

I think so.

 

[Beaker]

Guhle had a bad pinch earlier on that nearly cost a goal and then takes a bad penalty to wake up the Blackhawks… I think emotions are high. He can’t be Xhekaj - we need some safer plays to secure a win here

 

[Yukon Cornelius Habs]

They should play with 91. Not that he would be a better center, but matching set of numbers...

The early 90’s line!

 

[the]

Patrik Laine is scoring tonight. He’s on. Very good first period.

 

[26Mats]

good 1st, much better than recently... loved that the 1st line looks to have woken up in the end of the 1st period. nice and early

and MOTHER f***ING DEMIGOD!!! OMG!!! HE IS HIM!!!!!!

Yeah, Demidov has young fresh legs. But so do a lot of the Blackhawks.

Getting a win tonight - if we manage to get one - won't be a cake walk. Our vets look slow and unskilled...

Stay out of the f***ing box!!!!

 

[Gravity]

Why not? Animals cannot he tamed. Guhle is good because hes such an animal.

Oh please. Cut the crap. He has a brain and he know when and when not to go for a big hit.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I love you, Slaf but Demidov is about to take your spot very very soon

I'd actually like Demidov on another line. Leave the first as it is. Demidov doesn't need anyone.

 

[The Great Weal]

I want the Habs to make the playoffs to give the kids already a sense of what it is. But CLEARLY that D is way too weak to win anything.

But let's make it. It's needed.

A healthy Reinbacher would have been another X factor for us.

 

[OnTheRun]

First period in a nutshell...

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Now we just need a first line....

Really though. Our first line is all top 6 players but Demidov is a TRUE 1st LINE PLAYER. Game changer. 19 and already our best player.

Honestly, im looking forward to Mailloux playing with Demidov a lot.

 

[HeussLenfoire]

They are calling the heads of Guhle and Struble since its their last game loll

<< They >>

1 person. Waw.

 

[le_sean]

Okay so young top 4 physical d who we want playing physical makes hit early?

It F*cking happens, we are likely making the playoffs and I want to be on the board less then when we were bad this is ridiculous

It’s stupid. You already have the crowd and momentum. Just backup and defend.

 

[Runner77]

This is now an Epic, Legendary thread!!! DEMIDOV GOAL!!!!!!!!

Will go down as one of the best, most celebratory, fun HF threads of all time.

Almost on par in terms of impact to @jaffy27 ‘s Romanian GF at the Cabana thread.

 

[lo striver]

You know what else is erect now? My eyes, I don't want to blink when Demidov is on the ice

I use matchsticks to be sure.

 

[Mrb1p]

My spicy take is that Hutson-Matheson, Guhle-Carrier, Xhekaj-Savard was the best defense pairings we've had this year. I don't get the no defense changes by MSL, it's not been good.

Guhle-Carrier
Hutson-Struble

Were our two best pairings statistically and eye test wise

 

[Mats NAslund]

Happy they're up 2-1 but should be 2-0 that was bonehead decision by Ghule, no need to go and try and kill someone at 2-0

 

[Saxon]

Demidov needs to fight Bedard for the Gordie Howe Hat Trick

 

[Reimannsum1988]

Oh please. Cut the crap. He has a brain and he know when and when not to go for a big hit.

Correct. Like when your opponent actually has the puck. That might be a better time to go for a big hit.

He's been "trying too hard" ever since he came back to the lineup.

 

[shello]

I can't believe the Hawks passed on him. Imagine him and Bedard. Makes me wonder what their draft interview with him was like
