Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Kraken in OT

[Prettyisland]

wonder what this PGT would he like if Monty put up a .857 ...

The habs board just needs to collectively relax about goaltending analysis in general. It’s been a source of brain rot for the better part of 2 decades

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Again. SO glad we didn't trade Savard, Dvorak and Armia at the deadline. GENIUS level shit.

No one wanted Dvorak. Savard and Armia weren't going to bring back anything worth having.

 

[Pure Laine]

Until they lose on Saturday. Can't beat dog shat Calgary and Seattle. Aren't going to beat Florida.

Yet they beat them 4-0 in Florida earlier this year.

 

[Kimota]

Stupid Hugo couldn't get us a f***ing center? Any f***ing center? f***ing O'Reilly or something? A second round pick couldn't get O'Reilly?? A 2nd and 3rd? Pathetic. Reaks of f***ing Bergevin inaction.

No because they wanted to tank.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Kind of grotesque bookends really, it started like shit & ended like shit.

Lmao at the OT goal. I'm guessing the Kraken spent the last 3 days scouting Montreal game videos. Classic. They knew Montreal's setup better than the players.

Xhekaj & Savard are unplayable against a team with real speed, which Seattle does have. 2 penalties by Xhekaj and one by Savard late which created the 6 on 4 opportunity. Seattle went 2 for 3 on PP. Brutal.

Struble was one of our best D because he can skate, and plays physical.

Suzuki line led again. Slafkovsky with 2 goals, which was great. There's not much behind them, though.

In any case, a real opportunity lost tonight.

Play like this against Florida Saturday, they'll get destroyed.

No one wanted Dvorak. Savard and Armia weren't going to bring back anything worth having.

I would argue that not having Savard is actually more valuable than having him at this stage

I don't understand why become so f***ing passive when trying to protect leads. Gotta blame coaching for that

agree, goaltender as a position declined greatly in relative value during the Price era (unfortunately for us)

Time to sleep

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I mean we did beat Florida in Florida this season.

And a lot of other top teams on that streak. Now they are losing to crap.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

fun fact we win this game if we trade Savard at the TDL


kek

 

[The Great Weal]

Oof. I had to take a breather.

That OT set up really pissed me off.

What was the f***ing plan exactly? Win the Faceoff to WHO? With that set up they can just choose to ''lose'' the faceoff go all alone like they did, there's actually no benefit from that set up.

Unless you do exactly what Seattle did

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

No because they wanted to tank.

Tank?? We were a couple points out of a f***ing playoff spot with Suzuki playing out of his f***ing mind in God mode. If we don't make the playoffs because of Hugo's inaction... pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic!

 

[zx81]

Xhekaj played a very good game. Savard not so much B2B isn't his thing.

X took 3 f***ing penalties. Can't say he played a very good game.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Time to sleep

Alright good night.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

kek

who would trade for 2025 Savard?

 

[Prettyisland]

Anything less then God mode and the pitch forks are out

 

[Kimota]

That was so frustrating to watch. they simply stopped attacking when Seattle were clearly up for the taking.

 

[HabSgt]

Not a game for the DVD box set.

Got 4 out of 8 points on this road trip like the .500 team we are. 69 points now on the season huhuhu

First line still getting points, won't stop can't stop

Much hyperbole here about the team & it's progress. People can't remember that 68 point season? Or that historical awful 55 point season under le Ducharme? These guys are way better than that now. Probably won't make the playoffs but they are still in the chase.

Yes they should have sold though.

 

[2028 7th]

The last three goals on Dobes were great plays/shots, most goalies in the league wouldn't have stopped any of them.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

What was that set up? Really not a fan of having Dvorak out there in general in OT, even if its just for faceoffs

Especially since Suzuki is quite good at faceoffs.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Montreal really needs that stabilizing defenseman you trust late in games

Matheson just isnt it. He has some attributes and it wasnt fault but was he on for all 4 goals (ot notwithstanding)

-2 and both PKs

Again not a Matheson issue, the lack of a true number one defenseman one

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Anything less then God mode and the pitch forks are out

hey, it's an easy emotional outlet for the average angry fan.

 

[Pure Laine]

God damn y'all are a depressing bunch. This team is growing, fighting for the playoffs. We have young players being key parts and giving us good hockey. And all you read is f***ing whining lol

 

[Kimota]

Tank?? We were a couple points out of a f***ing playoff spot with Suzuki playing out of his f***ing mind in God mode. If we don't make the playoffs because of Hugo's inaction... pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic!

Don't tell that to me, tell that to these idiots. But it's clear to me that the reason they didn't sell was cause they made a promise to Suzuki. But that was their primary intention.
