[Runner77]

Laine back in the lineup making his presence felt:

Laine scored the Habs' lone goal, a howitzer from his office:



Monty deserved better, had a 34-save performance.

Lots of action, amazing game.

We were better without Laine... LOL

 

[Troyp]

Great effort. Shoot outs suck

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

not even mad. team played well, especially Monty w/ .971

 

[David Suzuki]

Pretty poor shootout attempts lol

 

[The Great Weal]

Valiant effort but man those were some brutal shootout attempts. Give Monty his flowers he got us the point.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Good effort, 1 point at least!! Keep it up guys!!

 

[domiwroze]

Good effort, started missing juice in the 3rd.

Hutson at 32pts now.

 

[ahmedou]

We won 9 of our last 11 games. The last time we did that was on 2017. From February 2017 to March 2017. It was 7 years ago since.

 

[The Real Timo]

Welp. Guess no playoffs for this guy.

 

[Saundies]

Can't get mad about a shootout loss against a good team (I mean, people will but I'm not).

Monty stood tall. Good for him, really. He was due.

Dallas is a very stifling team. I don't know if I've ever watched a game with so many stops and starts. Tons of blocked shots, getting in lanes, pucks going out of play. Oettinger is one of the best in the league as well.

3/4 points against two of the league's best teams is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Superb effort. Not sure how anyone can be disappointed with this.

 

[Andrei79]

Caufield almost won it in OT. Good effort, especially considering the circumstances and against the hottest team in the league.

 

[holy]

Gotta be the most measured and mature responses I've ever seen following a loss.

 

[Adam Michaels]

The loser point was a big one to get.

MTL with that point move ahead of PIT and OTT. They are 1 pt behind CBJ for 2WC with 1 game in hand. And they are 3 pts behind BOS for the 1WC with 3 games in hand.

Also 3 pts behind TBL for the 3rd in Atlantic. TBL does have 2 games in hand.

 

[JianYang]

Effort was good in the back to back, but there were quite a few mental mistakes. I saw more odd man rushes in this one than the last several games combined.

I hope the stars didn't empty the tank today as they play Ottawa tomorrow.... but it did look to me that they played a high energy game.

Very little help, if any, from the out of town scoreboard once again.

 

[Gally11]

Solid effort 3/4 is great on a back to back against two of the best teams in the league

 

[Habs10Habs]

Damn Monty, we may now have a goalie controversy.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Good game but still sucks. It’s good to feeling depressed after a lost game

 

[HabsCode]

Welp. Guess no playoffs for this guy.

We are currently in a really good spot to get a wildcard spot don’t know if you are joking

 

[First Line]

Dobes would have won it

 

[Team_Spirit]

Physical dominace but the boys were dead tired in the 3rd. Give them a few days off.

Slaf is back in terminator mode lfg

 

[Pickles]

We were better without Laine... LOL

He scored our only goal...

 

[Gustave]

Great game, great point.

Now we can relax and get some rest… oh wait, nope, we hop on a plane to goddamn southwestern USA and travel down there for a week. Great.

 

[Canadienna]

Superb effort. Not sure how anyone can be disappointed with this.

I mean this positivity policing is kinda silly.

It's a loss, and we look like a good team, of course we're going to be disappointed.

Even if they played well and showed good things, which they did.
