I am not sure I agree, Savard is not playing well enough and you saw how Xhekaj can affect a game when Middleton started going after an injured Anderson...

It’s clearly Xhekaj that’s sitting when Guhle is back. I don’t think it’s a debate in Marty’s head.

Maybe. But Xhekaj was playing with Savard tonight and playing better than I've seen him recently. He was taking the lead on that pair like a young vet himself, is needed with the current version of Savard.

Is it me or did Xhekaj really start to tune Middleton when his "song" came on? lol

Id rather be forced to watch 500 ties in a row than a single 3 on 3 plus a shootout.
This entire season has been a come back from the dead.
We were a corpse twice so far IMO.

I'm sure Anderson would like his goal and point totals to be better this season but the guy was a wrecking ball out there tonight to start this game and for pretty much this entire season really.
Sometimes fans really need to look past the scoring stats and appreciate everything else a player brings to his team every night. Andy as played some very good hockey for the Habs this season game in and game out.

Not a great game but that was a statement comeback
Without Slafs dumb f***ing penalty in OT I think we get 2 points tbh

Monty shouldn't have started, half of the 16 shots the avs got in the 1st were off of juicy rebounds into the slot.

Anderson is a unique and very valuable player. Many don't understand how much he makes defenses back up and how most of them are banged up when they get to the third period.
Think of Paul Maurice's clip in the playoffs telling his players to "f*** making plays, pound their f***ing D". They didn't win because they made pretty plays. Anderson is the best of them at that.

I do Three bullets.
And this was an L on the calendar anyway, so 0 pts
Basically this is our 2nd Islanders point lol but hey we'll take it
Bigtime proud of the boys either way, getting it to OT was a miracle
Slaf 2 big goals baby
I YELLED for that 2nd one, it was too important lol
As long as we're still in that WC2 spot and battling for that WC1 I'm a happy guy man

I'm not opposed to it. A shootout is what it is. Just put out your best guys and see what happens.

Habs 0/6 on the PP but 59.6% on the dot.
If Habs make the playoffs, MSL should win the coach of the year award. Habs have no business being a playoff team with no 2nd line and no Guhle.

It is better than losing in regulation, which is where we were at for 2/3+ of the game. But, yeah, a win would have be great and blown the roof of the Bell Centre
LOL I was laughing like hell the first period.
We weren't touching the puck but we sure as hell were winning the physical battle.

A great come back! I would have loved the 2 points but wasn't expecting a point from this game. Remember at the start of the season most of us were hoping to be in the playoff hunt. Well with 13 games to go the Habs are in a playoff spot and have control of their own destiny. It's exciting to watch so sit back and enjoy!

I'll throw Newhook into the same category. I've gotten on Newhook a few times this season for his lack of finish but he's still an effective player out there.
If only though he could just finish just a few more of his what seem like numerous scoring chances every game he'd likely score 25+ goals every season with his speed.
You add a talent like demidov and your 3 vs 3 changes dramatically . So not worried about that one but going forward

Incredible comeback. We have to make the playoffs, we just have to.

I believe they are 2-2 in the shootout.
It looks bad now because they have lost 4 overtimes in a row, but their record wasn't bad prior to that.
They do need turn that around though. There are likely alot of tight games coming in the pipeline.
