Post-Game Talk: Habs lose season opener to Leaves

[HuGort]

On shootout they want to put guys in with good shot. Guys like Caufield, Heinemann, Matheson. As former goalie, we use to play NHL type showdown from 1970s tons of times in practice. Guys never had good shot deked 90% of time. Guys with good shot I was 50/50 what they were going to do. I knew Suzuki and Dach were going to Deke down low before they touched the puck at center ice.

Well,

If the playoffs starts today, we would be in them.

There's that.

 

[Cournoyer12]

I don't like Auston Matthews. That is all.

He’s a great player, but he just has a face you’d like to push in! Also goes for Nylander!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

good point.. not sure on that

Wouldn't that result in a charge against the cap for the next 20 years (slight exaggeration)

 

[Cournoyer12]

I said before the game that third line didn't make sense and we should have dressed 7D instead.
The Leafs were always going to go at Xhekaj. Lack of foresight by our coaching staff.

Not to dwell on the past…. But I will. Remember Jimmy Roberts, how valuable a guy like that would be today! List him as a D, but use him also for the checking line. The man could score and defend

Next game I would like to see this:

RHP - Suzuki - CC
Newhook - Dach - Slaf
Anderson - Monahan - Yol
Pearson- Evan - Gally

Harris can't play RD. He can defend, but easy play along the board he can't manage and that kill play and offensive opportunities.

Priapisms for all. Live long and prosper.

The two Dougs - Jarvis and Risebrough as well. Tenacious both ways.

Jimmy was one of my favorite players.

¿ Why the f*** did they start our back-up for the season openerɁ

I like Allen but come on, have a little faith in the future.

Yeah. Let's give back the job to Barron and hope for the best.

MSL never showed great confidence in Montambeault. Rarely praised him even after great games. I dunno why he doesn't like him. And now, Monty just had a mediocre camp, which is not helping him.

Suzuki has a good shot

Looking at the time on ice it was interesting to see Gallagher was the only Habs forward not to take a shift in either the last 5 of regulation time or overtime.

 

[beowulf]

Well,

If the playoffs starts today, we would be in them.

There's that.

And Arber is on pace for 1300+PIM and Brock Boeser in vancouver is on pace for 328 goals lol

 

[sampollock]

Doc's have named it the "Nostril Effect"

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

It's 1 game , don't get 2 hyped up everyone.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Our scouting department needs to scour every Costco in North America, who knows how many more hidden gems are lurking there lol.

They usually have good deals on cheese.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

I try not to mention MB too much but it infuriating watching the carcass that was Gallagher out there.

That was a bad timing. MB had to sign Gally first and then Dano. So he overpaid Gally and refused Dano for 1M less. Tatar wasn't in the picture unless he did something way over the expectations. Who said at the time Gally was the motor of that line?

Huge fail

We had to sign Armia Tatar Danault and Gallagher.
Should have let all of them go at the TDL.

 

[Habs]

wait, we don't play the laffs again till March 9th? LOL at the NHL, we play total goofy expansion teams and toilet tag till we meet again.

Both goalies are not going to win us many games, soft and first goals against has come to be expected between them.
