Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to the Wild.

[Ozmodiar]

Good that Slaf (hopefully) learned that lesson from Rossi, of all players.

 

[Vachon23]

He was on the ice

He was on the ice when it happened

Yes my bad Pierre Houde said Wideman was in the brawl and I saw Kovacevic

Chris Lee's an idiot. Also a bitch who looks like a cats crusty anus.

Solid loss for the tank. The team tries, which I like.

Xhekaj needs to stay. Forever.

Fleury is still a Habs killer.

Kaprizov is a hockey deity.

Contrary to a lot of the posts in the GDT, I like Dach with our star duo. I'll venture and say MSL does too.

Slaf keeps creating chances and getting better, but you can't let up in the NHL. Ever.




He uses it regularly, but clearly he let up there.

That was his welcome to the NHL moment. Lesson learned and he's likely never to do that again.

Great post and bolded for truth.

Exactly, he should have dropped the gloves with someone!

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

True but Slaf is supposedly the heaviest forward in the league, no reason for him to get hurt that easily

Any player can get pushed if they don't brace themselves...

 

[Rapala]

Our forwards made this game an easy win for the Wild. The Minnisota D just had to stand up and flex their muscles and we aborted. Losing those battles allowed them free reign to cheat up on our D for easy exits and odd man rushes. It's a bit disheartening watching two of our forwards losing puck battles to one of their D over and over again. It's useless to use a two man forecheck if you can't come up with the puck. Back to the drawing ahhhh drafting board.

Just drop the gloves and punch anything in green

 

[CapSpace]

f*** you Rossi, punk ass bitch.

Tank nation is off suicide watch

Slaf can destroy a VO2 max machine but got wrecked by someone with the body of a teenage girl. Needs to use that size.

They don't make teenage girls like they used to..

He wasn't balanced. Doesn't matter how big you are when you're on skates you can easily lose balance if you're not set. He wasn't set.

 

[Rapala]

Harris most used dman? stuuuuuuuuuuuud

Why he's been the most reliable defensively.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Don't get why people are trashing him so hard. He's been pretty good. Him and Monahan are basically our only good forwards outside of CC/Suzuki

I think people are still butt hurt that they gave up Romanov/13th overall pick for him. First, Habs fans in general overrated Romanov and the islanders board is pretty lukewarm about him. Second, I think for the team Habs are and hope to be (window), Dach is more valuable than the players left at 13

I was expecting between 40-50 pts this year. If he can get 45+ or push it past 50 pts, I'll be very happy with his progression as a 21 year old

 

[River Meadow]

How did the Wild got Kaprisov in the fifth round ?

Russian

 

[Stive Morgan]

Also I feel like the mayor of clownsville USA for defending Gallagher the other day lol sorry to that poster

Same lol. He looked pretty good in pre-season but it didn't take long for him to go back to his usual antics.

 

[Rapala]

Even if he got his ass kicked, loved Evans reaction after the hit on Slaf.

He was stupid taking on Shaw. If it was Rossi okay total f***ing mis-match.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He didn't play well tonight. His passes were off pretty much all night & his shot sucks. Talented, but there's a definite step up he can take in his overall play.

 

[Canad13ns]

Russian

Plus he was signed for like 4 years in the KHL so it was a long wait.

 

[The Great Weal]

Slaf has like 5 inches and 60lbs on him. He was off balance and didn’t brace himself, he can’t ever do that again.

Some forget he’s only 21, same age as Cole and it’s only basically his 3rd season in the NHL after suffering a pretty rough injury.

...with a long ass contract not unlike Michkov.

 

[Rapala]

Liked Dvo, Slaf and CC.
The rest didnt have their best game tonight.
Gally, Dach, Pittlick, Monahan were really bad.

CC turned the puck over far too often he is and should be much better than that.

...with a long ass contract not unlike Michkov.

Who will also slide but not that far?

 

[ChesterNimitz]

When is it Gallagher’s turn to be a healthy scratch?

I thought this was one of Gallagher’s best games in a long time. He had multiple scoring chances, worked like a dervish and drew a penalty. If every one of our players worked as hard as Gallagher did tonight, we will win more than we lose.

Back at .500, slowly but surely!

They looked like seasoned tank commanders tonight, proud of them.

People are panicking way too fast. We are playing for 500 despite a good start with a couple of guys having unsustainable stats (Caufield was going for a 60 goals season before tonight and Montombeau has Vezina stats). In fact our record with Allen is what you could expect but Montombeau being 2-1 with a saves % of 931 skew the record a bit. You would expect Montombeau to be 1-2 at best which would give us a 4-6 record and a bottom 8 ranking.

Personally i like what the kids are showing but i'm far from convinced to is not a bottom 10 team yet. We don't have the experience to go thru the December and later schedule. Again I like what i see and the future will be bright but i don't think the future is now yet.

But definitely worth the wait.
