Post-Game Talk: Habs beat the Avs in shootout | 2-1

[zx81]

Dobes is amazing so far . What a start in the NHL. He looks intimidating in the net.

Gutsy performance by the guys. After 10 minutes I thought it was going to end in a blowout but the guys turned it around. Blackwood was also very good tonight.

The only negative thing was the freaking 4 on 3.
I don't know why we are more often than not awful in these situations.

Low scoring game but still entertaining.
Hated the reffing though.

Wins against Panthers, Lighting, Golden Knights and Avs on the same trip is unreal.

Too bad we lost the only 2 games we were expected to win.

 

[Andrei79]

We still don’t have Roy beck and demidov in the line up. We trending in the right direction.

Yeah, they are. Don't want to get too excited as the team still lacks depth is just one injury from being out of the race, but with Laine in the lineup, every game is a potential win.

Great post game interview by Dobes. Didn't know he was that smart and articulate.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

What a performance by Dobes. Kid is f***ing cocky, too. I love it!!

Montreal played great hockey after the 1st period. Fantastic game by the D, including Matheson. He had some epic moments on the PK. He played 28 minutes on a back-to-back.

Guhle was also really solid & physical.

Colorado 6 game win streak? Over.

Colorado 16-0-0 when leading after 2? Not anymore.

4-2 on the Christmas road trip!

It's fun to watch this team. A totally gutsy win.

 

[Saundies]

I can't tell you how impressive that shootout save was on Rantanen.

Hang it in the louvre

He had literally 0 chance, Dobes had him the entire way.

Masterclass shootout save.

 

[FLHabs]

Ngl, Dobes looked a bit like Price in the shootout, especially that first save on Drouin where he just threw the puck back on the ice. He looks good man.

The guys dug deep, and the best players came through, that's good to see.

Slaf deserved to get benched, the first line looked much better with 7th rounder Jake Evans on it. Slaf needs to wake up, the team needs him the same way they needed Dach to wake up.

Also, I understand MSL rolled 3 lines, but why is it Heineman that ends up getting screwed?? He easily could've played in Gally or Newhook's spot.

When Laine comes back, I say they put him with Suzuki. Dach has finally woken up and shown he can drive his line.

In. The. Mix baby! GHG!!!

 

[Habs Icing]

I am stunned

Hi, Stunned. I'm Incredulous.

 

[eurodin]

Shout-out to all the Habs fans in Denver

Nords fans hold this L losers

Great move by MSL to bench Slaf and use Evans instead in the 3rd. Directly led to the GTG.

Next game Monday vs the Nucks lfg

Agreed, slave looks so lazy and dumb on the ice.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Dobes Fowler tandem going to be overpowered

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

They mentioned that Dobes is the first Habs goalie to only allow 1 goal in his first 2 games.


Why is their last name Pathak, but the jar says Patak ?

 

[Tyson]

Hi, Stunned. I'm Incredulous.

Happy to meet you

my hands are in the mix.. and by mix I mean my pants

 

[HabsCode]

Maxim « jsens la bierre » Lapierre right on the money

 

[tooji]

Dobes stopping Lehks on the breakaway after he got out of the box for running him 2 minutes earlier was so f***ing gangster.

 

[rickthegoon]

Ok trade Primeau because Dobes should be backup.

Primeau was available for free last week, I cant imagine any GM giving assets for Primeau this year.

 

[eurodin]

Good win, I think announcers are putting too much weight on carrier. He is not that good.

 

[Toene]

1st star for me is Guhle. The better the opponent, the best he is at shutting them down. He covered Mackinnon like if he was his actual shadow.

 

[Hacketts]

Crazy to think we just took out the previous 4 stanley cup champs on this trip, and lost to the hawks on this trip.

 

[Rapala]

Ok trade Primeau because Dobes should be backup.

Dobes is a 1Aor a1B goaltender on this team. I always said Monty would be at his best in a tandem.
That tandem has arrived and Gorton called it in camp.

 

[Habaneros]

Dobes just entered the Montreal Canadiens record books.
First Habs goalie ever in the history of the Montreal Canadiens, to let in less
than 2 goals in first 2 career games.

 

[CaptainKirk]

my hands are in the mix.. and by mix I mean my pants

I’d give a sock to Doby, but I’m using it right now…

 

[Kimota]

Those recent aquisition are starting to become insane. Laine, Carrier, Dobes.

Sometime I think it's a question of confidence. The players felt like they would get the help of a Laine this season and he got injured and they got deflated. Then he came back and dominated on the PP and it gave everybody wings.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Also, just waive Pezzetta. It's obvious, like Primeau, his time here is done.

If another team picks him up, who cares.

Call up someone for Laval if Laine can't go Monday.

 

[Rapala]

1st star for me is Guhle. The better the opponent, the best he is at shutting them down. He covered Mackinnon like if he was his actual shadow.

Guhle was very good I was sure he was going to put it away on his break he just hasn't mastered that Dach move.

I have watched Dobes play every AHL start and after Christmas last season he was as good as any Goalie in the AHL. Folks kept glossing over him and talking about Fowler (who is a great prospect) and i kept telling people not to write him off. In Laval he showed athleticism, fiestiness and solid puck handling skills. Can he keep this up? I don't know but one thing is for sure...I would not bet against him.
