Post-Game Talk: Habs defeats Buffalo in shootouts

[River Meadow]

It's still fun though after a full year of listening to how the sky was falling every single time our 18 year old didn't look like a 25 year old on the ice.

That's fair.

Tbh Slaf has taken quite a turn pretty quickly...

 

[Tyson]

I don't know if it's the Xhekaj effect but the last 2 games Laval have become punishing physically. Habs need to add some toughness or play tougher.

 

[Rapala]

I can't believe I wanted to draft Wright. I need my head examined.

That's fair.

Getting Bumped can do that.

 

[26Mats]

We all love Allen but it's time to move on here.

And actually he could still be useful this year and next - as a mentor in Laval.

 

[ROEN]

Habs win, Toronto doesn’t get Ohtani.

This is one of those days

 

[Skip Bayless]

I like how Ylonen scores those shootout goals with such authority. He is a mean sob

He is. He is the night king.

 

[jrom]

Ylonen: size, speed, and hands.

He's 24. It's time to turn that package loose.

He paid his dues in the AHL too, never complained. Saw his name today during the Rocket game as one of the top 10 in points in (the short) franchise history

 

[Rapala]

In case anyone is wondering my new Avvy isn't celebrating Justin Barron.

 

[26Mats]

True.

It's the look and demeanor of a man who does NOT want to go back to the AHL.

He's done with being on the 4th line too.

Just got a call from Nick Bobrov. He said "Stupid Habs fans, doubting my 1st overall pick" lol

Slaf played so well. I was also quite impressed with Struble. He's definitely cementing a spot in our top 6 D.

Not gonna lie.. I wasn't a fan of the Slaf pick and still had my doubts about him but young Juraj has really won me over with his improvement and play as this season as went on.

Even though the points haven't been there he's been doing some very good things on the ice. Really loving this new aggressiveness in his game and now using his size to his advantage out there. Great to see.

As I said in the GDT Slaf's progression reminds me of Dach from last season when around this time during last seasons schedule his game also really took off and he was dominating shifts before unfortunately getting hurt.

Keep er goin' Slafy b'y.

Meh it was always about his second pick.

We were sure having fun at his expense over the summer. But we need to send every friggin' player we have to that breathing Guru.

It sucks how we can't have nice things. I can only imagine what this version of Slaf would look like with Dach. Two big bodies who are good in transition and both are able to use their big bodies and skills to protect the puck.

It will come sir

 

[Saundies]

Juraj "Ivan Drago" Slafkovsky

 

[Adam Michaels]

True.

It's the look and demeanor of a man who does NOT want to go back to the AHL.

If Pez was never placed on waivers to be sent down to the AHL, you can believe Ylonen never will.

What and have to learn how to play a cycle game? I dunno Man.

 

[CHwest]

That's probably Ottawa you're thinking of.

Truckers are gone, back to rolling up the sidewalks at 8pm.

The thing that really sticks out right now is just how much time and space he's freed up for Nick Suzuki. That can only bode well for the future. Regardless if it's Suzuki or Dach.

 

[Whitesnake]

A goalie still takes a longer time to develop. You can't let Primeau go. It,s Allen at this point. No matter the return. Would have been ideal before...but we missed the window.

 

[CHwest]

I know this is a joke, but it's such Fake news.

ReHabs is a Habs fan and we all want every player and the team to succeed.

I'm sure he's as thrilled as any other Habs fan.

 

[Rapala]

It will come sir

It's crazy how so few of us had remarked on the progression going back to the start of the season. The indicators were all there. There were plenty of nay sayers. They certainly no longer have a leg to stand on points or no points.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Will Primeau finally get some recognition on these boards?

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

We all love Allen but it's time to move on here.

nope lol

 

[Gravity]

Will Primeau finally get some recognition on these boards?

In 2 years he'll be much better than Montembeault.
