Dobes, really showed he is human after all tonight. In saying that, I really didn't think he played a bad game. He made a few really clutch saves when we needed them.

I was at the game in section 121. First game in 2 years. I couldn't remember how loud the Bell Centre can be. Amazing atmosphere, insane game: Xhekaj vs Rempe fight, Slaf and Suzuki scoring, Lane Hutson assist and he was everywhere on the ice, and the Laine OT win to put the cherry on the sundae. We definitely have the loudest, most electrifying rink in the NHL. It was an amazing night for hockey in Montreal tonight!

He is not a top-six player. He's a quick player with a powerful shot that lacks accuracy. His decision-making skills are ordinary, and his passing ability is poor. He's not very good in his own zone. I'm writing, and it's as if I'm describing Josh Anderson without the physicality.
He's almost 24 years old, he may gain experience but won't metamorphose into a different player.

He will need to work on his pace, which really is a conditioning issue probably due to his lengthy departure

I think he definitely had some nerves playing at home. I think he'll do better with exposure. His body language after goals against looked different than when he allowed anything on the road. You wanna keep the crowd happy at home, can only imagine the pressure.
The fact that they play DMX when Xhekaj fights is too gangsta, glad you got to enjoy that live.

He really didn't have a choice. Rempe was on him, and hitting him before Xhekaj had his gloves off. My only worry was he was gonna break his hand. Slamming it against that big dumbass's visor.
Dobes should start vs Tampa. Montembault can play the red wings and see if he can bounce back.

Are you referring to the hit into the end boards? Yeah, that was questionable.

Again, I just ignore the noise.
Newhook was the most dynamic player on the ice tonight. That rush on the powerplay was a thing of beauty. It was almost McDavian like.
This team is the most exciting team we've had since 1989. They're never out of game. Win or lose, it's always a good show.

I'm 5'7, so I'd start with upper cuts to the groin area. Followed by biting the back of Rempe's ankle.
Guhle-Carrier is a strong second pair. I love how more involved KG is offensively.

Agreed, add in that he's coming back from the flu? Or whatever ever illness that caused him to miss a few games recently.

In the tying goal, Caufield received the puck from Hutson right in the slot. He saw Quick cheated and moved to one side. He knew he couldn't beat Quick with his shot and the best option is to make a pass to Slaf coming from the other side for an empty net shot. Caufield is no longer uni dimensional shooter. He is a complete player now.

Wak Prescott the 60M/yr scam artist, here we gooo!
Something that caught my attention, are there more opposing team fans at the BC than usual lately? Yesterday it was packed with Laughs fans then a lot of Rags fans tonight. Maybe I'm just tripping and it was always like this.

I can buy that. The way dach is moving now compared to the beginning of the year is night and day.
Toronto fans traditionally make the trip. It wasn't anything new....same with ranger fans. They usually have a good representation. I'll add Boston fans to that mix too.

He is well on his way to averaging 20+ goals, like Anderson did in his career, that's a second line player. Just because you say that nonsense doesn't make it true. I've seen him go end to end and score but im sure in your mind any average player can do that at any time.

Newhook is on pace for 20pts this season. Hopefully he gets out of whatever funk he’s in but it’s a results-based thing, this is competitive professional sport, and he’s not delivered the expected goods this season. It’ll take time to convince others that one game undoes ten bad ones.He is well on his way to averaging 20+ goals, like Anderson did in his career, that's a second line player.

He definitely moves his wheels and does good things. It’s hard to understand why he’s not producing and why some nights he seems ineffective (is ineffective). It reminds me of Scott Gomez. Smooth skating, can carry the puck, but somehow doesn’t make plays.

Fair weather fan reporting in. It's been a few year after the god tier playoff run. I feel like now it's safe to hop aboard again :]
I turned from Laine hater to a fan as well, so I guess that is somewhat related to this one.

Newhook has the finish of oleg petrov this year. I'm hoping the floodgates open at some point because it's not for a lack of chances.

Exciting game. However... If Habs want to make playoffs they should do these 3 things:
1. Tighten up defensively... 11 goals in last 2 games... can't tell me it's all on goalies. Though Montanbo did not help last night.
2. Play Dobes more often... He wins. Period. He was not great tonight, but clutch.
3. Change the PP1 set up FFS. You have 5 talented players being kept outside the box and no one is even remotely screening or obstructing the goalie. Why is Slaf not living in the crease, a-la Kreider?
4th line is missing Heineman big time... I don't know if Beck played any more than Pezz but he didn't do much of anything.
Anyway, I am still super pissed after loss to leafs and don't wanna talk to anyone.

Character win!!!
Lehk couldn't finish when he played with us either. I feel like we need to be patient with Newhook.
