Post-Game Talk: Habs Lose in Shootout

[habamillions]

Got 1 point more then i thought going in. But a little deflating not getting 2 after the comeback and then killing off a full pp in ot only to lose in a shootout

 

[Rapala]

Guts lots of guts.
Just couldn't get that next one when they were down and out.
I felt we needed another one for the RW against that fire power.

Was a great so goal, and he made a great pass in the neutral zone to Newhook, and I'm a Laine fan.

But oh my, how many turnovers did he have tonight????? It's turnover after turnover, after turnover...

It will get better. We need to be patient. Worst case just find him a defensive responsible center but I strongly believe Laine is part of the solution.

 

[CaptainKirk]

Great kill by Monty, Savard, Matheson and Jake Evans.
Name my band: The Scapegoats?

I prefer the Montreal Scapegoats than the Toronto First Round Exits.

 

[GHJimmy]

His 42% in the shootout is one of the best on the team.

Definitely in practice cause what was that LOL

 

[waitin425]

absolutely shit canned. what a come back. almost the victory.

slaf the monster

 

[sheed36]

Damn that comeback was sweet to watch. Sucks that we didn't win, but I'm okay with getting 1pt.

Yup getting the 2 points would've been nice but no one should be disappointed with the guys tonight. They didn't quit and battled back and there was lots of good to take from tonight's game.

Carrier almost made it 5-4 in the slot. Matheson in dying seconds of OT. Newhook with a good chance too

Shoulda won this

 

[Runner77]

I hope Hughes stays far away from Suzuki (sorry Nick, Kent is inavailable) — I don’t want to see another year of Dvorak as a Hab.

 

[Andrei79]

If they can do that against a stacked Colorado team, they can beat anyone. Except the Wild in Minnesota I guess.

If Newhook starts converting his chances, the second line will be good enough. But, he's been playing fantastic, just crazy snakebitten.

Can't say enough about the character of this team.

Only 13 to go. Making the playoffs will be such an valuable experience. They're learning things every game. This is what they have to go through to one day limit mistakes while the pressure is high. They're also learning to gain momentum and use it to create clutch goals.

 

[Ezpz]

Better 1 point than 0. Gotta start stringing some Ws though.

 

[BLNY]

Yeah well, they keep fighting every game and that's f***ing exciting.

Dvorak tho... Come on. Send Slaf or Hutson ffs.

Slafkovsky two goals

Hutson superstar

No no let me put Dvorak out there

 

[le_sean]

Yes. He's statistically the Habs best shootout shooter I've read. He's been hot as of late too so I don't hate the decision

Then let him replace Caufield who played like crap. I’m sorry but if you score two goals in a game, you deserve an attempt.

 

[OldCraig71]

I’m very proud of our boys, they gutted out another one.

 

[Runner77]

*unavailable

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

nah

Agreed, we may not be the most talented team. But when it comes to "Heart". Our boys are second to none. I feel like a proud Dad now lol

 

[Nicko999]

Highlight of the year for me this year!

I saw Dvorak smile.

 

[BLNY]

Definitely in practice cause what was that LOL

 

[zx81]

That ot pk was nice. Not too many teams have killed a 2 min 4 on 3 against the Avs.

 

[Miller Time]

Such a well coached team.

For this roster to be playing this well at this time of the year is damn impressive.

Last few games I've mostly watched opposing team broadcast... I don't recall the last time I've heard so much positive commentary about our team from other teams commentators. Thise who know hockey, know that the Habs are playing very good hockey.

We are building something very special here, what a fun time to be a Habs fan!

Yeah it's a real bummer when two pick ups beat you in a shootout.

 

[Hacketts]

I didn't believe during the 3rd.

Those boys are dogs man, one of the most resilient groups I've seen in the last couple decades.

They'll make the playoffs if they continue to carry this energy, I'm proud of them tonight.

 

[The Great Weal]

Serious question, do you call up Reinbacher in place of Savard? Savard is a genuine liability at this point.

 

[SuzukiSZN]

Honestly, who else we got? Newhook? Slaf?

Slaf, Hutson, Newhook
