Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat the Utah Hockey Club™ 5-3

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Convinced if we have Michkov, the Habs don't draft Demidov.
Feelsf***ingood

So they pass on Demidov at #5? No way.

Michkov is nice but I still have to see what Reinbacher can do. If he can make an impact like Hutson, we are fn set.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Just stop it.
His game was horrendous for quite some time and you know it.
Plus minus while not perfect is a worthwhile stat and you know that too.
They wouldn't keep tabs if it wasn't let's see him work it down like Lane Hutson is doing.
If he can do that we will be winning games.

Yeah, Hutson +3 tonight. He's now down to -4.

 

[Rapala]

Yeah, Hutson +3 tonight. He's now down to -4.

He was like -17 not too long ago but don't worry the stat doesn't mean anything.

Yup. Reinbacher might end up a more important player than Michkov. Time will tell.

They take Demidov, they pass on Laine. And they need to bulk up everywhere else.

 

[Redux91]

Reeeeaalllly wanted to beat those guys
Super pumped, especially after a 1st like that
Proud of the boys

Bigtime shout outs to :
Monty, had some bigtime saves , kept us in it AND closed the door late
Guhle - Carrier, god what a revelation this pairing has become, they refused to let this get out of hand and out of reach
Lane. Hutson. What more needs to be said.
KIRBZ. Happy for you boo!

Honorable mentions to Laine and Caufields big goals, how fun to see them score in the same game

That was fun tonight guys, despite the rocky start, you just kind of knew, since the way we've been playing as of late, that we were still in this game, and we went out and took it

Let's get Dallas now! (At least a point )

Plus we have no idea how good (or bad) Reinbacher will be.

 

[Andrei79]

This is the issue with accumulating all of the small players this board wants. The average height would be 5'10" and the average finish would be the 13th pick or a first round exit.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Very possible, they would have been hurting for a D without Reinbacher.

 

[HabsQC]

Yup. Reinbacher might end up a more important player than Michkov. Time will tell.

If you offer a redo to me as of today I take both Michkov and Demidov without a doubt. Can't wait to see what Reinbacher does though.

 

[FLHabs]

The way I see it, Reinbacher has the potential to be better in the Dzone than Matheson, is also a smooth skater, good size and offensive instincts, and already shown some possible chemistry with Hutson during the development camps. I really think Reinbacher could be the perfect partner for Hutson and I wouldn't be surprised Hughes sees it the same way. That could really turn into a special pairing imo

Hutson would unlock Reinbacher offence too

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... i hope being better than Matheson is not the ceiling.

Offer me a redo and I do the exact same thing, even if I knew about the injury. Adding a big elite shutdown RD who is amazing at the transition game is going to make us unreal.

 

[Habaneros]

I can’t believe this team won’t make an AHL call up.

Don't mess with a winning roster.....they are on a good heater....

 

[jrom]

great game, Carrier is really an effective D for a 5'11 175lb guy (same size as Jordan Harris).

 

[Rapala]

Stands his ground with two players bearing down on him survives the collision and moves the puck.
What's not to like about that.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

For this season? Or easy to sign Laine, Demidov, Michkov, Hutson and a Cup winning supporting cast? If yes, I’m not interested.

I mean Dvorak Evans Armia , we could trade Matheson and Anderson , Savard

that's alot of money going off

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

It's not like there aren't players on Laval who would be an improvement and add scoring.

 

[FLHabs]

I was using Matheson as an example seeing that pairing has been very effective. Having Reinbacher instead of Matheson will only make it better.

 

[No More Subban]

Actually, I don't mind him just being better than Matheson, lol. Less turnovers, less penalties, I'm good with that.

 

[JianYang]

Habs played well for the last 40 minutes aside from some bad penalties. The 3rd goal was a tough bounce but Monty will probably tell you that the whole play started because of a bad rebound he allowed.

It was nice to get this win in regulation, because the Habs were starting to fall behind in this regard compared to their immediate competition.

If the standing stay this tight, regulation wins will loom large, so you want to see the Habs keep that up too, and not just points.

 

[windycity]

I don't want Marty to mess with this team right now. You get the feeling these players would go through a wall for him. Give Pezetta another game or two and if he's not better, then call someone up.

I'd be surprised if they do anything before they return home Laval play tomorrow.
The Lads know there is probably a roster spot for one of them so show us the fire...
Knowing that you have players who can step in and row with you is huge for a team.
