...Dobes was great...

I like da sound of dat!!!!

Playing ,500 should clinch it. 5 pts in 5 games would give us 90 points and the highest possible finish by teams behind us is 91 points.

24 blocked shots against Preds

7 blocked shots of Matheson against Preds

4 points will do it, but don't tell the lads

We got 4 pp's in the last 3 games.
Gotta love reffing these days.

Habs pulling up to your block knowing they will come back from any deficit despite playing like absolute dogshit and Mike Matheson.

Marty for the Jack Adams

He won't win it, but he certainly deserves consideration.

His mistakes are frustrating, but we wouldn’t be close to being in this position without him, and he’s costing less than 5m on the cap, he’s a huge steal.

Aren't they still considerably behind the Rangers for the tiebreaker?

Yes they probably won't be able to catch the Rangers on RW, but at least they are currently tied or in front of the other teams still fighting for a spot. Of course if the other teams catch them in points they might get in front of the Habs on RW, but anyway for now the more regulation wins the better.

 

[JianYang]

The colour guy for tsn 690 is doing a passionate rant on guys who spend their time shitting on Matheson on a daily basis.

MTL was on the PK for 8 minutes tonight, Matheson was on the ice for 7:51 of those minutes.

6pts up in the wild card spot

It looks more and more likely that we're actually gonna make it. It's not over yet but things are looking good. Now we can afford to lose a game or two. Not that i want to lose but we're breathing a little more comfortably if things go down south a bit in the remaining games.

This team doesn't quit. The boys were visibly tired tonight but they still found a way to win. The D blocked shots and Dobes was stellar.

Habs 6 points last 5 games should seal it.

 

[Boyon90]

They somehow won back to back trap games

Matheson played 31 mins tonight... he was good... many blocked shots... playing that much, any player is bound to make mistakes. Remove Matheson and Dobes tonight, pretty sure the Habs doesn't win vs Nashville.

Remember when we couldn't win a damn 2nd game in 2 nights last season?

It was only a five or six year stretch. Easy to miss.

 

[larek]

The guy was a freaking rebound machine, but credit to him, he managed to make the saves when it counted.

At times.but some of them were from close In Wicked shots - you can't hold those alot of the time

 

[Habs10Habs]

Over the years, my love for the Habs has been tested. But at this very moment, I'm back to being head over freaking heels in love again lol Great effort boys, now go and get some rest.

 

[Gains]

I’m so happy for this edition of the Habs. They could have been the first in franchise history to miss the POs 4 seasons in row… but they will probably make it.

MTL was on the PK for 8 minutes tonight, Matheson was on the ice for 7:51 of those minutes.

Yes he was responsible for the goal and had a horrendous first. But he rebounded especially defensively

I said in the GDT that MSL needed to manage everyone's ice time. No one should go over 20 minutes.

He actually did that .... by giving Matheson 31 minutes. Lol Man is a fantastic skater & is able to go all night.

Carrier also got 25 minutes.

Suzuki only played 18:39. Hutson 21:33.

Those guys will get big minutes at home on Tuesday. They should be OK to go.
