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

[MarkovsKnee]

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

Yup, you're right. They couldn't get the job done themselves. They needed Montreal to take Detroit down.

 

[Milhouse40]

Habs are just 3 points behind Ottawa.....with a game coming against Ottawa.

Let's go after that first WC spots

 

[TCIH]

Ugly win but still a win.

I'm liking how we are at home right now. Lively fans, and the team is delivering.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

gonna watch COL-VGK to check out the SCF competition

 

[Rapala]

Suzuki with 86 points, that has to be the most since the Damphousse/Turgeon era

Lane Hutson was like insta-boost for his numbers this season. I called 88 before the season started just because 66-77 in the two previous seasons.
90 should now be a new goal for him. Very possibly a 100 pts. player as early as next season with Lane Hutson on PP1 for a full season and a real 2nd line.

Habs haven't given up more than 2 goals in a game during this 6 game win streak. Montembeault has just been incredible.

No we don’t want it

 

[Vachon23]

What a game by Kaiden Guhle, physical, get some good offensive rush and good play defensively

Played 25 min

 

[TheBlob]

Wow! We did it again. Detroit knew a loss pretty much meant their death. But we found a way and almost secured our playoff spot. Well done, very well done.

And the surprise of the day.....Ivan f***in' Demidov is joining the team to end the season! Can't wait to see him on the line-up.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

93% playoffs odds and Demidov! What a day

 

[Goldenhands]

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

I think we should respect the vets on this team who all gave the best out of themself in that playoffs race... Next year Reinbacher will take his spot, but for now Savard's leadership is highly valuable, guy is a warrior...

 

[tazsub3]

Yes Matheson cause 2 goals against last 2 games . But after those two mistakes he was been beyond amazing especially defensively

 

[The Real Timo]

This was fugly but they don't ask how. They ask how many.

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

need one more win at least me thinks.

 

[Gravity]

The team with the killer 3rd. I absolutely love it! When are we making playoff avys?

 

[OnTheRun]

That's false.

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

Well technically the Devils could lose their last 4. So that would be Isles (90pts) M3, Habs (90pts) WC2 and Devils one point short.

[The Great Weal]

No we don’t want it

I want the Caps, it just screams upset

 

[FLHabs]

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.

Same. The fact that this is the 2nd youngest team in the league, and they've already learned that mental aspect of the game will go such a long way for this young core

 

[HabSgt]

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

You can wear these instead then

 

[themilosh]

Habs eliminated Bos and Pit from playoffs!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

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.

...and better yet...

 

[Big Lurk]

I think they're at like 93% or something. So not technically.

 

[Rapala]

No we don’t want it

Of course we do what a cop out.

 

[The Great Weal]

I think we should respect the vets on this team who all gave the best out of themself in that playoffs race... Next year Reinbacher will take his spot, but for now Savard's leadership is highly valuable, guy is a warrior...

Don't think anyone disrespects him, just acknowledging that he cannot handle the NHL pace anymore.
