Post-Game Talk: Habs beat the BJs and their cannon in Columbus

[Gravity]

It wouldn't have even gone to that point if Newhook/Guhle/Slaf didn't play well enough, so you could blame them as well. Anyways, at some point, the vets will score so that was to be expected. No vet is really carrying us besides Monty, it's been the young guys.

Like I said, the only goal I cheered for was the second one because it was CC from Slaf. Don't care about Newhook and basically every other F.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Nice work boys. Came hard from the BJs performance tonight

ummm what?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Anderson is never going to score ever.

I genuinely feel bad. He hasn’t played well but he should have a few goals by now. He’s gotten so snakebit it’s scary.

You don't care about Newhook who's tied for the team lead in goals at 22 years old? Very strange.

 

[Natey]

Decision has to come with him sooner rather than later. If rumors are true that he isn't willing to budge to go under 4 million for multi-years, then you look at trading him because he's keeping us in games. We lose this with Allen.

Yeah because Allen has never won games by himself before, lol. Before tonight there was a 0.07% difference in their SV%. Watch out.

 

[zx81]

Not the greatest game to watch, but at least it was fast. Hardly any stoppages .

Refs handled this game like they wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.

I think he tops out as a middle 6er. Nothing to write home about it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Gallagher belongs where he is. He’s been by the eye test one of our most consistent players with effort and results

At a minimal he’s going to go to the net and screen the goalie. I can understand people being on him last year but to do it now makes absolutely no sense.

 

[KKWG11]

Only saw the third but thought Struble looked good

 

[Habs10Habs]

And both of them have played with a rusted broken pirate anchor for 1/2 the season. Incredible!

Nice touch. I laughed big time at that lol

 

[Rapala]

He was on the third line. Why do you think they moved him up?

Again, tell me who you think they should put there? Anderson?

I don't give a crap what line you say he was on. You spout numbers about how good he's been we look up and he has 3 points this month. It doesn't actually jive now does it?

Ylonen deserves a chance he got one last year and couldn't run with it. He's actually playing better this season. He may be hungrier this time around. I would have tried it by now.

 

[Habs Icing]

Tankers go to your designated thread please.

Thank you.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Just realized Ottawa is now last in the East. They have 7 games in hand on Columbus though, which is f***ing nuts.

Montreal is somehow only 3 pts back of TB for final WC spot with a game in hand. They're 6 points up on last place Sens.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

3 EDM scouts at the game

Monty to Oilers incoming

Sell on momentum where desperation motivates interest.

Caufield was butt ugly for much of that game. His goal didn't move me much.

Good road trip, much better than I thought, 3-2 in 5 games away from home.

After 22 games we are a .500 hockey team, pretty much what they will likely be after 82 games.

This team fights! If they do trade Monty they better get good prospects, picks for him.

Almost forgot! 2-0 against the BJ squad this season, guess our cannon is bigger!

 

[The Great Weal]

I think he tops out as a middle 6er. Nothing to write home about it.

Ok so you only want two forwards on the team to score all the points while everyone else can get traded for future considerations since they hurt the tank, sounds very realistic.

Anaheim San Jose and Columbus.

Awesome.

Then don’t talk about point production and think you’ve made a point.

You spout numbers about how good he's been we look up and he has 3 points this month. It doesn't actually jive now does it?

It does …. When you factor in what line he’s playing on. But, you don’t seem to understand this.

Ylonen deserves a chance he got one last year and couldn't run with it. He's actually playing better this season. He may be hungrier this time around. I would have tried it by now.

So it’s a tragedy that Ylo isn’t there? And you can’t believe that Gallagher is dragging down Suzuki despite, for example, the goal he set up tonight?

And Ylo has (checks notes) three points in November. And since lines don’t matter to you then we aren’t losing anything there right?

Thanks for coming out.

LMAO. I'll tolerate any youngster that isn't a plug getting points. I'll cheer for 2 players to get points. Of course the vets are going to get points but was hoping it wouldn't be in a crucial tank game.

We're treading water pretty well. How long can we hover at .500 ?

It IS awesome that we are better than those teams, yes!

DJ Smith is blackmailing the owner, how he isn't fired is beyond me. Tkachuk/Stutzle/Norris/Batherson/Tarasenko/Giroux and Sanderson/Chychrun/Chabot is WAY too much talent to be this bad.
