Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat Sens - Slaf goes beast mode!

[JuicyHam]

This team REALLY needed those 2 weeks off

 

[tazsub3]

5 points is hard enough.... but there's also 5 teams to jump over and the team below them is right at their neck too.

Indeed it is very hard Z but a loss was 9 points and as good as gone.
5 , still a heartbeat, and more meaningful games , which in their own sense whatever the result are good for the development

Yet also 6 points from last in the East lmao

It's tight AF

Meaningful games are good for development .

 

[The Last Red]

Who’s more annoying, Sens fans or Garry Galley? Oh wait, they’re one in the same.

Every forwards played between 12:16 and 16:29 minutes, Dvorak playing the most.

Makes you wonder if Hughes is getting phones calls on Dvorak.

Slafkovsky was a beast! Nice fight.

Montembeault wasn't great on the 2 goals, but played well after that & shut it down.

Xhekaj was getting into Stutzle's face all game. Loved it.

Something is up with Suzuki. No way he is this slow. That breakaway he was insanely slow. Earlier this season, he doesn't get caught.

Ottawa drops to WC2 and are holding onto a playoff spot by the skin of their teeth. They're tied in points with 9th place Columbus, but have more RWs.

Montreal is 5 pts back.

Slaf I thought played his best game as a Hab. If Four Nations motivated him to play like Brady Tkachuk will be a great bonus for Habs. Slaf could be a beast as a power forward

Looked like the type of player they envisioned when they drafted him

 

[Sharknado2]

I did not watch you game but according stats Laine was terrible in 5v5. And I think he will be not good to the end of the season. So much injuries and mental problems have their consequences. His little time was because of it.

What stats would this be?

 

[SwiftyHab]

I've seen enough. Close the tank thread.

What he said

 

[Banjo Cat]

Now I think we start winning for a while again. I don't think we will be consistent, but it's a step up from last year.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

That zero is really going to help Kirby's +/-

 

[Nedved]

Something must be wrong with Suzuki. He’s slow and seems behind the play, even after the break. What kind of nagging injury can slow a guy down but still well enough to play?

Groin, lower back or hip injury.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Ok, so my buddies Hens fans are all in arms with the Sherrif. What did he do?

He was roughing up Stutzle every chance he got. Hamonic stepped in once, but that didn't stop Xhekaj. No Brady to protect him.

Yeah he didn’t do much tonight. But, he won the faceoff for Laine’s goal and despite it being intercepted, he made a pass for Slaf’s goal as well. 2 point night.

He’s probably hurt

Well considering I won a $500 bet, I gambled further with it

 

[Victoire HuGo]

Believe it or not, there ARE players who play like that every night.

He's 6'3 225. He needs to play like it.

Can you name me 4 who are active?

 

[Habs13]

Watched from a dive bar, was already 5-2 when I got there and the place went nuts when Slafkovsky beat down that nasty little bitch Grieg, I hate Grieg. I enjoyed this night.

 

[Stive Morgan]

@Runner77 Butter chicken with garlic naan tonight. Don't work tomorrow so my toilet can be punished

Holy... i had to check the stats to believe this. Dvorak most used forward.

 

[HabsCode]

Can you name me 4 who are active?

Not the one asked, but if I had to name some power forward who can produce, the Tkachuk brothers, Ovechkin, Wilson.

 

[The Great Weal]

Suzuki definitely looks hurt. That breakaway speed was comical. His shots don't have the same power or accuracy to them. He can't really afford to sit out though.

 

[26Mats]

How was Struble?

He's a key piece right now imo, because aside from him rep look acting Guhle, this is the same team, when healthy, that was the best in the league for the 2nd quarter of the season. So if he can step up, that would be huge.

 

[behemolari]

5 points is nothing

 

[VT]

Aké by to boli štatistiky?

Montreal Canadiens @ Ottawa Senators, 2025-02-22

Also played less in 5v5. When I look at EC, he has the same time. I looked at the stats, Slavkovsky 5m. Dach - 2 m together. And he didn't even play in that situation but Newhook and even Evans did. In short, if he had scored, it would have been similar to before the 4 nations tournament. At least according to confidence and MSL stats.

Good observation
