Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat the Panthers in OT

[SpeedyPotato]

@Sasha Orlov when we getting a pic of that whole body Hutson jersey tattoo?

 

[WG]

If we make the playoffs, I believe those two are going to level up.

Suzuki and Hudson rightfully getting their props but the whole Dvorak line was really good again tonight.

 

[TennisMenace]

I’m still numb at how we were able to go down the ice in just a few seconds. I guess when you have guys like Guhle, Hutson, and Suzuki out there, the expectation level should go much higher.

And to flash forward a bit….imagine what we would be like just by adding Demidov, Reinbacher, and Fowler…..someone pinch me please….i need to live one day at a time.

 

[The Great Weal]

Man I have so much stuff to do but still can't process that ending. Wow.

 

[Saundies]

Boys... this is going to be fun.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

I just dont have words for Suzuki

Koivu was my favourite growing up but just reminds me of him

Quiet, respected, gives 100 percent, calm and composed

Everything you want in a player

And much more injury-resistant than Koivu and anyone else on the team. As they say: the best ability is availability.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

About to pass him, since Makar is now injured. Hutson is resilient to injury as well. Who would have thought it, especially on draft day?

 

[Guess]

Lane has a shot at 70 points.

Not just 70, he could reach the no 2 all time points for a rookie defenseman. I don't think he can get 76 though.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

5'9 162lbs guy is making the league look silly. It doesn't make sense.

They need to start assessing for hockey sense and resilience much more. Scouts have no antennas able to pick it up, let alone quantify it.

 

[The Real Timo]

Wow... I am still processing. I was about to turn the TV off because I absolutely hate watching the other team celebrating but my remote fell between the cushions so it took me just long enough to see the Suzuki tying goal. Unreal.

Him and Hutson man... this is something!

Dvorak line was good... they fought and they banged.

That being sad. My got were there way too many passangers out there tonight.

- 2/3 of the 1st line was terrible, bordering on atrocious.
- 2nd line bad
- 4th line terrible
- Matheson... nuff said.
- Carrier and Savard were mediocre
- Montanbo - some great saves and sieve goals... nothing new.

THis can't continue with 1/2 the team not showing up for big games. If Habs thing Bruins or whatever other non-playoff team going to be any easier, they are dreaming. No more flyers games from last week. Everyone needs to be 100% and Slafkovsky and CC need to get their heads out of their asses.

BIG DICK NICK!!!!

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Imagine if Matheson drilled that shot in and it’s 3-1 Panthers. We would have an whole other PGT discussion

Game of inches they say.

It's a game of optimal deployment.

 

[zx81]

Fun fact, there were 23 seconds between Hutson's assist and the goal in ot

 

[The Great Weal]

Listening to Hutson's post game interview, guy couldn't care less about chasing records and the Calder. His goal is strictly the playoffs. What a cocky player.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

God I hate that term for some reason.

Apples have had a bad rep since Genesis.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

There's just no way you can play Savard again. He was catastrophic. Live with Xhekaj's bad pinches and reads, at least he can skate.

And deploy both hands like a virtuoso.

 

[Paradoxe]

Boys... this is going to be fun.

I'm just a dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeamer I dream to see them play. I'm just a dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeAmer winning the Stanley cup!!

 

[The Real Timo]

How do Panthers feel about Hutson scoring 6 points against them in the last 2 games?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

 

[The Real Timo]

Also important to note that Habs ended a string of losses in OT. Back to winning in OT baby!!!

Man... I am just a happy camper tonight. What a great game by Nick and Lane!

 

[The Real Timo]

I bet panthers didn't get close to this reaction from the crowd even when they won the cup

 

[Runner77]

I have been watching the Habs religiously since 1971 and I have never seen a Habs rookie have a season like Hutson. Amazing, simply amazing.

Always a quagmire to compare players from different eras and playing at different positions, but Ken Dryden has to be in the conversation, winning the Conn Smythe before earning the Calder the following season — something that no player has ever done in NHL history.

Dryden was originally drafted by the Boston Bruins in 1964 but ditched the opportunity by deciding to pursue a degree at Cornell, until the Habs came calling.

Gui Latendress was something special too.

Can’t wait for Demidov to join and make a 3 man assault of Demi, Huston and Suzuki

Caufield or Slaf.
