Post-Game Talk: Habs lose game 2. Capitals lead series 2-0

[MasterD]

It'll be a mistake to not resign Dvorak. I can't believe I just said that.

At Evans' salary, I'd consider it. 2 years max.

 

[MasterD]

If you think Matheson is a liability defensively, I can't wait for you to watch Mailloux play

Didn't say he was. He needs to become better, for his career and for the Habs future.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Didn’t catch the game, was traveling. Was laine really that bad? First page of this thread is absolutely furious at him.

One of the worst games I’ve ever seen from a player in a Habs jersey

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

He was bad but ultimately he didn't have an impact on the game one way or the other. Could've scored a point if Newhook didn't whiff an empty net.

Nothing pisses me off more than new hooks whiffs man. They’re constant

 

[Naslundforever]

I've been sayin it since the Chicago game, it's clear as day :

Slaf - Front net
Caufield left wall - Demi right wall
Suzuki - Marauder, high slot
Hutson - Hit Blue line dishing plays

yeah I had the walls reversed but this could be pp1 for a decade

 

[Natey]

He did..

Well he almost doubled his minutes in the 3rd when we needed a goal, so?

 

[Rapala]

We are missing December Evans and Heineman opportunistic goal scoring. Both got golden opportunities tonight and missed.

Evans in particular needed the Suzuki calmness to bury that chance I was sure we had tied it up.
Nothing came out of my mouth but my hands were definitely in the air.

 

[zx81]

Two winnable games.. sigh.

Habs in 6

No Laine next game should help.
They can play with 7D I don't care.
Play Newhook on the wing.
3 centers. Suz,Dvo,Evans. 4th line alternate the center.

P.s.
If we bring another forward to replace Laine, he has to be a C. It's very important that Newhook stays on the wing.

 

[JianYang]

At Evans' salary, I'd consider it. 2 years max.

Oh you just reminded me when Evans missed a wide open net an caught the bar.

I like Jake but it's inexcusable to miss that one.

 

[WinterLion]

Scratch Laine and put Kapanen in. He can’t be any worse than Laine, and he can gain some valuable experience.

I actually agree with this.... and I like Laine... he's just not doing it...

 

[Runner77]

We got mauled out there

We stand on guard for teeth -- that's our anthem with all of these Habs players getting cross checked in the face.

 

[expy]

C'mon... this is GREAT for all the young guys.... even if they get swept they will have seen what it is all about...

They haven't even been playing proper playoff hockey. Just going through the motions like a regular season game.

 

[Miller Time]

Didn’t catch the game, was traveling. Was laine really that bad? First page of this thread is absolutely furious at him.

He was bad... So much so that MSL benched him for most of the 3rd.

He's struggling in everything right now, even the shot is off.

 

[No More Subban]

I don't think the habs are serious about winning if they play Savard.
Plus we need to get meaner, too many soft players that don't play physical.

I still can't believe people are overthinking this.

 

[Schooner Goon]

The negativity in here is intolerable. We’re the gawd damn 8th seed and the youngest team to ever make the NHL post-season. The boys are punching above their weight against a better and bigger team and they won’t roll over and die. We couldn’t get a bounce late in the 3rd. I hope the Bell Centre crowd goes absolutely nuts for them when they hit the ice for Game 3.

 

[habinthepeg]

Made a couple decent plays very early on. But then turned into his black hole self like in Game 1.

 

[The Last Red]

You must get pissed off a lot.

 

[waitin425]

McMichael,Strome and PLD are all f***ing warriors. Im shocked by all of them on how they've quietly become such hard to play against guys.

 

[teamfirst]

So proud of the boy's who played in the third.

Next game i would sit Armia and Laine dress X as a 7th D and 4th liner with his brother and Heineimen,
We have to retaliate, cross check in the face as to stop.

 

[Naslundforever]

oops

 

[DemidovSZN]

If you think Matheson is a liability defensively, I can't wait for you to watch Mailloux play

Mailloux is trying to score michigan's instead of playing his position lol MasterD wouldn't have any hair on his head after a couple of games from Mailloux

 

[Big Lurk]

Two tight games on the road against the #1 seed. Boys fought hard tonight.

I'm confident going into Game 3. I think they can get it done at home.

Laine should be out for Kapanen. He is finished.

What will Kapanen do except no points? No joke, Id rather have Condotta right now. He can play the 4th and lay some hits.

 

[FLHabs]

Idk if MSL will sit Laine next game, but Demidov will for sure take his spot on PP1.

 

[Whitesnake]

True that one day...if we can't get that much bigger...you cannot play man to man....against big men....

 

[Runner77]

Call up Reinbacher and Xhekaj 2 and add his brother to the lineup for game 3 and see what happens.

Too much Xhekajing for MSL's tastes.
