Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat the evil Senators at the Bell Centre

[Hannibal]

Just need Slaf, Suzuki and Dach to get going.

Slaf has to start moving his feets when he has the puck.

Still, he has 3 points in 3 games.

The 4th line I thought was excellent, really impressed with new guys

Yeah, I actually didn't hate Dvorak tonight. Kapanen and Heineman deserve long looks. I would keep them in.

ABB & Pezz should sit for awhile.

The October schedule is favorable for a good start. 11 games: 7 at home, only 4 on the road.

 

[The Last Red]

Josh Anderson and Justin Barron - not their best games, otherwise it was correct/good from everyone

The stand-outs for me were Monty, Caufield. Hutson, Guhle, who were incredible. Newhook was super solid too.

Anderson is cooked. Barron, I’ve given up on waiting for. He’s putrid.

Brady Tkachuk has a NMC that kicks in July 1st. Ottawa should trade him before then, no way that dude is resigning for that disaster of a franchise after his contract is over.

Habs played a very good game. Now they need to continue doing that every games.

 

[Andy]

Big shoutout to Gallagher who looked good again tonight. Finding a niche in a bottom 6 role.

 

[JianYang]

Monty is going to be Canada's starter

It's going to come down to who is hot at the time of selection

I see the Sens are falling in the same trap as the Laffs. Who the F is Tyler Kleven? Pretty sure they have better young dmen that this pylon. Why on hell do you give this guy TOI? It's like Benoit with Toronto (who was terrible in playoffs). It's what we used to do in the early 2k. I'm all for big players but they must be able to play hockey. Happy to see we have a management who think in 2024.

Please stop the Ole my god

I said before the game that had the potential to be one of the best fourth lines in the league. I don't feel I was wrong.

Weird thing is it's: Slafkovsky, Caufield, Suzuki, Dach and .... Dvorak?

Dvorak? Yeah, Dvorak.

One is not like the others.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Anderson is cooked. Barron, I’ve given up on waiting for. He’s putrid.

Barron has all the tools it seems but he took a bad penality tonight, and his shots were imprecise to say the least, like, wtf

At this point I'd try Mailloux or Engström, wth not

 

[OldCraig71]

Please stop the Ole my god

The ole complaint bank is running low tonight I see. Man you crack me up. Guy that can't have a good time.

The stand-outs for me were Monty, Caufield. Hutson, Guhle, who were incredible. Newhook was super solid too.

I thought Barron was good minus the penalty.

If Anderson gives us that every night, he's a good bottom 6 player, I'll take it.

Agree with your standouts, though I thought Newhook was invisible for two periods. If he can create havic the way he did most of the 3rd period on a more consistent basis, he'll have a monster year.

Slaf & Suzuki being meh yet still winning their minutes and putting up points is a great sign.

Kapanen was very good... Getting PP & PK minutes, being very reliable in his own end and poised with the puck on his stick are all great signs from a rookie.

Great start to the season

 

[calder candidate]

We did good but we weathered the storm early if we don’t score first it could have gone the other way… once we score everyone started to move their feet and it was better

 

[The Great Weal]

VERY confident with Monty this year. There's a vibe with him, I cannot explain it. Killer instinct.

I would never underestimate Team Canada "braintrust" to make a wrong selection.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

gg!
Not giving 40 something shot is nice.
15 shots in the 3rd, impressive!

 

[LaP]

It's too soon to project what kind of player Heineman is or if he is even one but i remember most of our fans calling the Toffoli trade a bad trade for the past 2 years and atm he doesn't look bad at all. I like Toffoli but he's a complimentary piece and Heineman looks like a potential 3rd line player and Mesar is having a good start in the AHL. Again too soon obviously it means nothing but people should not bust players under the age of 23.

 

[Habs Icing]

Montembault's body language has been different so far this year.

He's got this ice cold stare during the game, and I'm afraid of him.

Well, stop looking at him.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Brady Tkachuk has a NMC that kicks in July 1st. Ottawa should trade him before then, no way that dude is resigning for that disaster of a franchise after his contract is over.

They have him signed for another 3 seasons after this one.

 

[morhilane]

Slaf only played 13:32 minutes (2nd less used). Got 2 assists out of it. He clearly got something minor going.

 

[26Mats]

I think Newhook played great game tonight, and has chemistry with Kirby. Armia is a little bit invisible in this line, and sometimes Dmen mishandled/fan the puck wasting the chances

Will be interesting to see who the 3rd wheel will be

Candidates:

- Anderson and Heineman because they each have the speed to match Dach and Newhook.

- kapanen brings skill.

- Slaf, if we break up the 1st line.

 

[LaP]

Slaf only played 13:32 minutes (2nd less used). Got 2 assists out of it. He clearly got something minor going.

He left the ice in the 2nd period for a while and came back which is why his TOI is so low.
