Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to Detroit. One team showed up ready, the others left the goalie to dry.

[Tyson]

Habs need Norlinder to develop, puck movers needed. Matheson would have made a difference tonight.

 

[ArtPeur]

Caufield down to an 82 goal pace, f***ing scrub

Nah he's just lowering his value for his next contract. Actually helping the team.

 

[Saundies]

Can't wait to watch Ovechkin's hat-trick tomorrow. I feel bad for Monty

I don't, I have Ovi on my fantasy team.

Suzuki wasn’t good tonight. Missed some key passes.

Agreed, rare off night for the lad. I'll chalk it up to maybe trying to do too much.

TOI

Suzuki - 21:30
Caufield - 17:45
Slaf - 9:37
Dach - 15:58

Guhle - 16:09
Harris - 21:28
Xhekaj - 14:02

 

[Tuggy]

Habs looked like a last place team tonight. Barely created any chances. Rough night.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Montreal got better as game went on. After a 25-10 shot advantage in 1st by Detroit, it finished 40-29.

Montreal had chances in 3rd, but couldn't get it done.

Harris, Guhle & Savard played great.

Allen was unbelievable.

Slafkovsky needs better linemates. Gallagher worked & skated hard, but his hands are done.

Dvorak just exists as a player.

Caufield was quiet.

Suzuki has had better games. He whiffed on a clear shot then screwed up a backpass for Detroit's 1st ENG.

Not an unexpected loss.

Not watching more than a period (preferred watching something else with you he GF), and reading this post-game thread, I wonder what you guys were expecting this season??? This is a bad team, with three rookies at the blue line, one of which is asked to play like a first D!

 

[Adriatic]

Very good third period, team got better as the game went on and liked the fight. Loved Guhle again tonight. He's gonna turn out to be a real stud.

 

[Kennerback]

Because there will be no goals this season other than Caufield PP goals, MSL should devise a plan to have Monahan to win faceoffs and Caufield to play the full 2 minutes.

 

[dinodebino]

Relax guys. Going to be a long season, but it is part of the process of building a winner. I have always been a process guy, enjoy the journey every step of the way. At least we are working towards something!!!

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[River Meadow]

Tank is BACK ON, BABY!

LET'S GOoOOoOoOooOoOOoOooo!!!!!!!

 

[Redux91]

I want to see Slaf - Dach - Gallagher. put Monohan with Dvo and Pitlick as a checking line and let Hoffman and Dadonov rot on the 4th line, sorry Evans lol

Gallagher should never, and I mean NEVER ever ever ever
Ever, EVER

Ever ever ever
Be on a line with Slaf

Never, ever ever ever



Ever

 

[Justin11]

When are we playing the Leafs again?

 

[Garbageyuk]

Pretty sobering. This is the real team and that’s ok. We need another high pick.

Our impact players are probably going to be:

Suzuki
Caufield
Guhle

They aren’t going to win too many games, no matter how good those first two are, and the other one is a rookie. Gonna be a long season, but I’m ok with that.

 

[Saundies]

Very good third period, got better as the game was going and liked the fight. Loved Guhle again tonight. He's gonna turn out to be a real stud.

The Ghoul is already our best D. Sky's the limit for him I think.

He's one of my can't miss guys this year.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Looks like Gally has his legs.

But not much else.

 

[Rapala]

Suzuki wasn’t good tonight. Missed some key passes.

He's struggling with his skating it's very evident. He's behind on a lot of plays which in turn leaves him less time to create. His line mis-handled the puck as a whole most of the night. Credit Detroit's D some for closing them down.

 

[Habs13]

This team needs Drouin more than ever.

We'll never be THAT bad

 

[Lshap]

Missed most of the game. Apparently, so did the Habs.

 

[durojean]

Hoffman was infuriating tonight. He was never at the good p’ace and never where he can shoot.

 

[StCaufield]

Your blaming Gally but not the rest of the team on the ice?!? LOL

No as a team offensively it was bad but watching your first overall pick play with a guy who can’t pass or receive one and is falling everywhere screaming “skate” to Slaf when he can’t is annoying. He’s not even 1/4 of the player he used to be yet he’s treated like royalty

Montreal got better as game went on. After a 25-10 shot advantage in 1st by Detroit, it finished 40-29.

Not an unexpected loss.

4 shot on goal for Caufield where at least 2 where very good chances but Husso made the saves. Anderson had the better chance but again, Husso did the job.

Trying to manage Slaf's minutes on the first of a back to back because he looked bad on the 2nd night during that preseason b2b? Either way sucks to see him play so little but he had a few nice flashes

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Can't wait to watch Ovechkin's hat-trick tomorrow. I feel bad for Monty

Ovechkin is not the same without Backstrom.
