Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat the Red Wings. Solidify WC2 lead.

[Steve Austin]

6-3-1 in L10 impressive

also, looks like Habs-Leafs first round matchup is not out of the question?

Poor Toronto

With Demidov entering the game, they must be praying they get Ottawa in the 1st round.

Right now, Habs only need 3 pts in their next 4 games to clinch a spot.

Of course, if NYR, DET & CBJ lose games in regulation, they might not even need the 3 pts.

However, go get a win and at least a loser point over the weekend.

That's false.

The Isles can hit 90 and they could win the tiebreak easily.

What a day!

1) Tyler Thorpe signed to an ELC + AHL PTO
2) Demidov is released from SKA and signs his ELC
3) Habs win and win it in regulation

 

[Natey]

His first period was playoff saving.

 

[Theodore450]

8 point lead in the playoff race and Demidov? What a f***ing day.

Strongest day since st Jean

 

[JianYang]

I had a strange sense of calm after they were only down 1 goal after that first period sleepwalk.

I was confident that they were going to come back because that's what they do.

Classic loser Wings fan "I just want someone to absolutely blow up Hutson"

 

[OldCraig71]

A win’s a win.

It was a DAG win.

 

[Gustave]

What a day!

1) Tyler Thorpe signed to an ELC + AHL PTO
2) Demidov is released from SKA and signs his ELC
3) Habs win and win it in regulation

Thorpe will live in infamy.

Oh, and we just eliminated Buffalo from playoff competition. This is fun. We eliminated Boston, Philadelphia & Pittsburgh on the weekend, and now Buffalo is officially done for the year.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

reminder, Monty and his 30W were a waiver pickup

 

[FLHabs]

I want a Ottawa Toronto 1st Round series. Ottawa can beat the Laffs. It would be epic!

I actually want Ottawa to get 3rd place. I know we make fun of them being a poverty franchise and all, but having your first playoff series after that long of a rebuild and having your home games be packed by Leafs fans would really suck for their core

We also helped Ottawa clinch on a night they lost 5-2.

We are in awesome!!! we can now rest some guys like Armia, Savard and play Demigod, Roy, Xhekaj...

Savard needs permanent rest. If he was a dog we’d have him euthanized at this point

I'm happy Monty gets his first star. He's been the 4th star many nights and now he gets the star well deserved. The overall team progressed so much, now we can say they defend their territory and they have some decent system. They have energy and they find a way to create some offense. Very interresting to watch!

 

[Hannibal]

Our strategy for the last month.

Man this is so accurate. We won’t last long against WSH playing like that.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I’ve said that I think Armia would be the one to be resigned, but I believe it will be Dvorak actually. They’re not going to breakup that DAG line.

Armia seems to be missing juice lately, I think he can use rest now to finish the season

 

[Kennerback]

Thorpe will live in infamy.

Imagine being a trivia question linked to Demidov for the rest of your life.

I had a strange sense of calm after they were only down 1 goal after that first period sleepwalk.

I was confident that they were going to come back because that's what they do.

Yeah it’s like the Preds game. If either team makes it 2-0, I’m not sure the Habs come back. But to dominate a period that much and only be up 1 goal? That’s going to bite you in the ass

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wings fan here. Congrats. Thanks for putting us out of our misery lol. Good luck in the playoffs see you at the draft.

 

[BergevinBurner]

It seems like we have some plot armor going on this season.

• Team was expected to be a bottom feeder and we had horrible stretches and fantastic stretches, and ultimately manage to squeak into the playoffs through all the tribulations.
• Hutson the undersized defenseman was supposed to struggle adapting to the NHL yet he's thriving and putting up a historic rookie season.
• Nick #2 C Suzuki on pace for a 90 point season.
• Demidov, our FIFTH overall selection goes back to Russia and puts up a historic season. Then instead of being held till June he get's released.

Either everything's going to come crashing back down to earth soon, or our Cinderella run ends with us at the ball

 

[HabbyGuy]

Beating the Red Wings is good but the out of town scoreboard is good too. Canes, Devils, Leafs & Sens all lose so a great night all round.

Demidov on the ice this weekend, hoping for at least one win. What the hell, make it both. Les boys end strong with over 90 points. Suck it Vegas (the oddsmakers not the team).

Future so bright we gotta wear shades to read the GDTs from now on. When they work that is.

You had me until the GDT part, it's still a cesspool of tragically negative bad takes.
