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

Jake isn't waiver-wire trash. He was drafted by the Habs.

..... yes I know.

 

[OldCraig71]

I wonder if Carey Price watched this tonight? He would have been looking at a very similar version of himself in the style of Dobes. I don't watch Laval and never saw this kid play but he is very ready to play in the NHL. His lateral movement and rebound control are NHL quality and he shows no signs of nerves.

We may suck at drafting and developing centers but the Montreal Canadiens must have some of the best luck in the NHL with the goaltending position.

 

[BLONG7]

The 4vs3 in overtime was lacking Demidov. Him, Caufield, Suzuki and Hutson will be perfect. I like Dach, but Demidov will bring this to another level.

Laine would have ended that in OT also.......
They don;t shoot the puck near enough. Over passing rinse and repeat.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Live look at Newhook getting screwed over.

I don't know, but it kinda looks like him.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

If Dobes proves he can play like this for the remainder of this season behind Monty, i'd say that pretty much makes Fowler an incredibly nice piece to land that 2C this summer.

Yeah, too early to say but that's a good problem. Dach right now is being the Dach we all saw 2 years ago before he got injured.

 

[Natey]

Avs fans complaining about the refs....that's rich.

Monty must be sweating right now.

Why?
He's under contract for two more years.
He's about to represent Team Canada in a tournament.

Guy has nothing to worry about. If Montreal decides to bench him repeatedly for Dobes, he'll just request a trade - and trust me, there's a bunch of takers.

 

[SlafySZN]

The 4vs3 in overtime was lacking Demidov. Him, Caufield, Suzuki and Hutson will be perfect. I like Dach, but Demidov will bring this to another level.

So many 3vs3 combination we could use in a couple years.

Demidov, Suzuki, Hutson
Demidov, Caufield, Hutson
Demidov, Slaf, Hutson
Demidov, Dach, Hutson

Hage too

ect, ect

 

[Price is Wright]

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.

Would like to see Owen Beck get a call up but I'm sure they'll go with Harvey-Pinard or Roy.

RHP hasn't been playing well in Laval. Like Dach, he's missed too much time. He should be left where he is. Yeah, Roy or give Beck a couple of games.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Avs have nothing beside their big guns. Nondepth

Strange to say but Lehkonen is one of their big guns. And Drouin plays good. Not excellent but good enough for a nhl spot.

 

[HuGo Sham]

if they deal Dvorak, i think beck gets the call

 

[The Real Timo]

Every time we play the Avs I am always surprised at how underwhelming Makar looks.

Especially next to Matheson

 

[TennisMenace]

Slaf being benched should wake him up. I think he'll be fine he seems to be one of those players that needs a reality check that he isn't actually that dude from Scarface.

But it's not the worst thing, I think some of the tough love on a player like that will work wonders.

I would love to know how Slaf could be regressing in his 3rd year? How do you regress playing with Goal Caufield and Captain Nick playing next to you? I really don’t get it…..It sure would help if he goes back to playing like the #1 guy drafted instead of some AHL temporary call up.

 

[Natey]

Looking forward to reading the next 20 pages on how we lost a franchise player in Lehky!!

Who ever said that? We didn't lose a franchise player. But we tossed a very, very good player away for a really poor return.

But the trade we got for him was f***ing awful. Especially when he went on to basically be a playoff MVP for them.

Justin Barron was a mediocre return from minute one and honestly it only got worse.

But thankfully we've somehow turned that player into Carrier who has been rather solid for us. So at least the Lehkonen deal turned into something positive.

I lve maintained for years... whatever the aura is in mtl, whatever that stress is that makes forwards crumble; has the opposite affect on goalies.

 

[Skip Bayless]

We are in unparalleled levels of the mix right now.

 

[Naslund]

I forgot about Laine! I must be getting old...

Didn't we also get Heineman in that deal? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[Rozz]

It's going to be one hell of an ovation on Monday when they hit the ice.

and we'll f***ing deserved! so proud of them!

 

[The Real Timo]

How the f*** did Tampa only play 35 games so far?

It was a 2nd rounder who was used in trade up to select Hage.

 

[Rapala]

100% agree….if anyone thinks this is a fluke, you are not watching the games. The kid was lights out in preseason, lights out in Laval, and has now been lights out against Florida and Colorado in their rinks. This kid is here to stay and I will go out on the limb to say, “he is our best goalie without a doubt. And without a doubt, his ceiling is much higher than Sam’s.”

I'm already on record saying Dobes > Monty.
I came to that conclusion watching him shut teams down in Laval particularly in tight chances.
His physical attributes are just better as is his base and the dude has great reflexes.

I think heineman came from Toffoli.

Right!
