I’ve never owned a Habs jersey either but I’m hoping for an authentic Demidov SKA jersey if the stars align.
Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat the Panthers in OT
- Thread starter expy

1st PP you have limited options to play net front. Other than Slaf, maybe Suzuki? Maybe instead you want to bolster a decent 2nd PP unit by doubling up Suzuki+ movebothCaufield&Slaf? And stuff instead of Slaf any big body, like Armia, Anderson maybe Heineman or Dach as net Front on the 1st PP?

I never understood why anyone would want to place our best puck distributor in front of the net? We wouldn't put Hutson there and we shouldn't put Suzuki there. Those two are the elite puck handlers and the players who need to have the most touches on our PP.

Preparing to order my first one since Price I'm getting a Demidov one next year
His best one was on Matheson at the end. Top notch chance, went high glove too. Monty had the reaction of a cat on that one.Monty .926, had some good saves in the 3rd to keep it within 1

I'm following the Habs since the early 80's and this is the most likeable core i can remember.

Just caught up with the game
Tough one but it’s even sweeter to see them tough it out and win. High pressure moments, intensity, etc.
In the mix, playing competitive games… isn’t this more valuable than tanking for a fourth straight year? I’m not fully convinced but it gives food for thought. I was anti-tank since the start but after picking up Demidov in TankYear3 and the awful first third to this season, it felt like another tank was the better call. Today, I’m feeling like I was wrong. These games surely have value to the development of our principal players… or at the very least expose their room to improve (Slafkvosky — with another 1 SoG game).
Suzuki is a gorgeous player; we are lucky to have him and Hughes knows he should get the man some help and play some playoff games asap. Careers are short and players this special deserve to compete to win and fans deserve to see it happen. This is what it’s all about. He took the Team Canada snub personally which is precisely what elite athlete should do.
Hutson… he tilts the ice. He seems to focused on improving and developing his game. Does the little things right. Incredible and dynamic player.
As we hurtle toward the season’s finish line our love for hockey reignites. Nothing beats high pressure hockey. The game is so fast and so dynamic that a single play can lead to a sudden dagger goal. Heart attack hockey is what I missed for the past few years.

Hey Mr Big Dick, who do you think you are?
What a captain.

I keep reading "no one else brings what Matheson brings". Now I know what they are talking about....
(it's 'stupid'. Stupid is what he brings)

We are turning into the Cardiac Kids with so many late comebacks. The AVs game was scary good.

Actually, 2nd youngest team.
It is kind of insane how much criticism Slafkovsky gets. Kid just turned 21 and is playing against the top players in the NHL every night.
He works the boards at both ends of the ice, and often comes deep to help out his D. He & Suzuki will switch up in the D zone depending on who gets back 1st.
He wins board battles in the offensive zone and often causes turnovers by other teams. He's playing in the hard areas at both ends.
The Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky line is like a top 5 line in all of hockey. Lol

Habs got some luck there with Reinhart fumbling the easy block, but they'll take it !

Considering the 2 goals we gave up, the guys tipped them in on Monty............so we were due a bounce.
They were lucky to be leading , with decades of watching hockey , I came to accept that more often then not the team that tries hard and does the right things gets the lucky breaks and bounces .
We see good teams like Florida get them often , we finally did get one tonight . But it took a great play by Hutson to even be remotely close to getting that luck
I’ve stopped reading the GDT the last few games and the narrative on these boards compared to what i watched is night and day.
The GDT last night was so negative when I read it at night, but I thought the habs played an excellent game against one of the best teams in the league.
Everyone got way to used to catasrophizing under MB

A bit of a random thought, but I'm glad this game happened on RDS instead of TVA Sports. Houde calling both Suzuki goals as well as the post-match interview were great. Lavoie's interview would have killed the mood a little.

Go Habs!

Justin make me proud
I wonder if Caufield's latest scoring slump is him no longer having that extra jump or just the tight checking we see at this time of the year limiting his chances. We rarely see him have games with 4 or more shots lately

Yup, I thought they played a great game, and Slafkovsky played fine. People get over hyped on a shift by shift basis. It's a live reaction, too though.
I really thought they were going to lose after the icing. Suzuki loses the draw, too. Barkov gets a shot & who's back to corral the puck? Slafkovsky.
Hutson & Suzuki both take off. Slafkovsky outlets to Hutson from behind our net, which is hilarious because it should be the other way around. But, it was a great pass & started the rush.
The team worked hard & struggled at times getting through the neutral zone. But, ultimately, they got it done. In a most unbelievable way, too.
