Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat les Sénateurs d'Ottawa

[tazsub3]

Brady is scared of Xhekaj. This game made it obvious for me. The fact that no one went after him after his hit says a lot

and to me that hit, and nicks hit a few seconds later is what made this win possible,
I felt the sens shrunk after that

When they showed the replay of the skate on his heel, it was scary looking at that especially since he looks to finally be comfortable in his own skin again. We've been so hard on him over the year (I have) really glad to watch him competing every night.

Yeah, that was scary, last thing we need is another freak blade injury.

I am so happy for guys like Gally and Andy to get rewarded. They’ve embraced their reduced roles and checked their egos at the door for the team and haven’t complained once.

Andy has totally revamped his game and is such a useful player for us in his 3rd line checking role. You really see how effective and necessary he is in these playoff style games.

It's amazing what can happen when you give a player a raison d'etre.
Anderson is now playing the role we signed him for in the first place.
Had he spent his entire time here playing this game only Natey would have been complaining.

We needed secondary scoring and that line came up huge. Big props to them

Dvorak seems to have discovered he had another gear all these years and never used it. I have never seen him skating as fast as he does since the break.

Gally is playing some inspired hockey too.

Glad Josh got rewarded tonight because the effort has been there all season long.

Bergevin deserves a big hand!!!

If by big hand, you mean a punch in his teeth... I agree

 

[donghabs98]

Not sure how we keep winning games without a decent second line. We have heart, I guess.

Imagine how good we came be when we have a legit 2nd line

 

[Saundies]

Dvorak is the new Rene Bourque.

Anderson is a beast. What a turnaround.

Vintage Gallagher.

Captain clutch.

Lane ho hums himself to another great night.

Somehow in the playoffs???????

Starting to love this no quit team as much as the Kovalev, Saku, Markov era.

Did big bad Tkatchuk actually play? Dudes a no show when someone's there who could shut him up.

Tony marinaro and Brian Wilde actually talked about this very subject yesterday. Brian said he's scared of xhekaj and Tony foolishly said, "Brady isnt scared of anybody"

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I could be completely barking up the wrong tree, I thought the effort he gave on pressuring the puck right before the third Ottawa goal was extremely lazy, he did have a few decent chances offensively I give you that.

I honestly have had no issue with his game without the puck since being called up. Most of the time he's at the right spot to disrupt the play or remove options in the neutral zone

 

[Saundies]

Bergevin deserves a big hand!!!

Hilarious because this was such an MB night. All of his guys came through.

Unfortunately, he’d block the punch with a potted plant.

Ill happily eat crow if that line discovers another gear and gets us into the post season.

Someone asked about Anderson’s post-game interview on centre ice:

 

[tazsub3]

You just know after this game next game will be a real dud.

many said that after the florida game this will be the dud ,.

 

[FLHabs]

and to me that hit, and nicks hit a few seconds later is what made this win possible,
I felt the sens shrunk after that

Oh yea I forgot about the Nick hit. It was beautiful, hopefully someone made a gif of that one

 

[Goalfield22]

Biggest win of the season.

 

[donghabs98]

Bergevin's masterpiece is finally taking shape.

Bergy was simply playing the long long long game

Xhekaj has successfully bullied the sens over the years. Many times they've tried avenging Xhekaj's cheap shots only to be on the wrong side of a can of whoop ass. He's their Lucic.

Bergevin deserves a big hand!!!

Boys!!!

We’re in!!!!!!
