Post-Game Talk: Habs blow it against the Islanders in OT

[Rapala]

Tough game for Monte.

He looked tired last game he looked really tired this game.

 

[HuGo Sham]

you know things are bad when habs cheerleader eric engels is complaining 5 of the last 7 goals montembeault has given up are shit.

Dobes sat please

 

[sandviper]

Well, I thought it was over at 3-1 so I’ll take the one point.

However, what was going on in OT? I didn’t feel like there was any urgency.

 

[LesCactus]

2 brutal games from Montemblow in a row

Just cant happen. The team is laying it on the line and he is laying eggs

CC was trash tonight

Third line was the best

Jackeye and Savard cant be trusted sadly

Do you think Arber will improve once he gets paired with someone younger and more mobile than Savard? He frustrates me.

 

[CauZuki]

Guhle can't come back fast enough.

 

[Redux91]

Too bad boys, nice try

I'll take the point tho bigtime
Especially after being down 3-1

That Gallagher goal was something else tho man, i mean wow
That was for Mum.
Myself my mother died of Brain Cancer when I was a child, so I can sympathize with Gally there a bit .. Cancer took my Mother, 2 Uncles, 2 Aunts, so I definitely have an axe to grind with that f***er
Big goal for Della, RIP lovely woman

Proud of the guys regardless

It only made sense that PATRIK Laine and Joshua ROY would score tonight.

I'm a Laine fan but I blame him for the OT goal. he should have read the play that Hutson wasn't really going anywhere with that rush and been ready to not get caught up ice for the 2 on 1 going the other way.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Took a lot of heart to get a point in this game. We should’ve had the second point. Montembault can’t afford to have many nights like tonight.

 

[The Great Weal]

Monty wasn't great tonight but man some of you guys have a weird hate for this guy. Gallagher's goal was way worse than Horvat/Holmstrom yet I don't see anyone saying Sorokin shit to bed and choked the win away.

 

[Andrei79]

Too many guys trying to win it singlehandedly in OT, take the shot miss the net, odd man rush the other way, rinse and repeat

Yeah, the team is young and inexperienced and you could see it. A lot of learning experiences tonight.

 

[Zorro]

We'll just have to show mack and co. whose boss on saturday, it is what it is!

 

[VT]

Laine lol. Costs a goal at even strength every other game. Gotta have better awareness than that.

Hutson has #48, not Laine.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Habs in Montembeault's last 9 games: 16 out of 18 points

 

[Pomee]

Monty and CC not good enough tonight!
Please no Laine and Matheson in OT! Ever!

 

[expy]

We don't really give a damn about another team's roster, unless they're targets for trades.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Could've been a lot worse.

We move a point closer to Ottawa, a point further ahead of the Rangers and Wings, and we stay 3 points ahead of Columbus.

The game Saturday is massive though because the Islanders and Jackets play on Monday. There's a very good chance whoever wins that game overtakes us on Monday if we lose against Colorado.

That play was 100% on Hutson.

 

[River Meadow]

Braindead play by Lane.

 

[Tyson]

Dobes sat please

Dobes has struggled on home ice, no way he starts against Colorado on Saturday

 

[Kennerback]

No that’s on Hutson. You can’t streak up the ice if you’re the D on the ice in OT with Laine and another forward. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[26Mats]

That play was 100% on Hutson.

Hutson is allowed to rush up the ice. One player rushing doesn't lead to a 2 on 1 the other way.

 

[ExReHabs]

Valuable experience, got a point, and hopefully Lane Hutson doesn’t hotdog like that again.

Slafkovsky another bad game but better than the previous stinker. If he’s going to return to bobo mode we need to swap him out of the first line.

I think he expected Hutson to hold onto the puck. Usually Hutson in that scenario holds onto the puck and tries to generate a scoring chance for someone else. But I guess he felt the momentum and, well, it didn't work out.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

How did thw Habs “blow it”, when they came from behind 2 goals to tie it?

The only person who really blew it tonight was Monty

 

[HabSgt]

That game was rough, Isles really like to clog up the zone. Toldja they would come back in the third but sadly no extra point in OT.

Now watch us stomp the Avs on Saturday to really confuse everybody. Dobber should be up, he will need to be ready.

Nick was still slick but Math was...less so.
