Post-Game Talk: Habs remain winless in November

[Leon Lucius Black]

Monahan's leadership was huge

Jake Allen’s as well.

 

[expy]

Not in Quebec

Quebec doesn't believe in Family Day.

Can someone tell Daniele Sauvageau that's it "hypnotisé", not "hynoptisé"? She said it at least thrice tonight lol.

Never understood why so many people have troubles pronouncing this word. The funny thing is I guess they pronounce hypnose correctly and not hynopse.

 

[McGees]

Newhook earned 3 games of slack with those 2 goals.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

What is Matheson tonight... -3? Another amazing trade by Hughes.

Don't be ridiculous. He got rid of Petry and got a 60 pt defenseman. Not going to do any better.

 

[Legend123]

226 NHL games. Guy has been injured more than he's played.

dont get me wrong I love dach and i know hes been injured a lot

but at one point hes gonna have to be the difference maker we all know he could become. Habs are counting on him to be a long term fixture in the top 6 and theres no doubt hes got the talent for it.

 

[the valiant effort]

It’s not like I think Dee Williams is the cream of the crop, it’s just that I know she be extractin’ the soul right out of me

And isn’t that really what it’s all about?

 

[Kennerback]

Only from a handful? It’s like 3 pages of back to back posts crapping on him after every mistake he makes. I don’t know why MSL is so stubborn by not swapping him with Hutson as the QB.

Yes he’s being poorly used. He shouldnt’t be on the number 1 PP, and unfortunately he shouldn’t be the D patrolling the blue line when the game is on the line, but because of the team pecking order I don’t see him losing that role.

 

[Adriatic]

So close yet so far in this game. We did so many good things but also a couple of bonehead plays to give it all away. Anyways I'm not that mad because we just don't have the personnel to win these games right now. Please Hughes just go out and get a RD that can play and another vet up front and we good.

Probably becuae he doesn't want to put more pressure on Hutson.

Jake Allen’s as well.

He gets all the excuses in the world while people drag Slaf and demand line driving from a winger in his 132nd game, who before tonight was the only positive +/- player on the team. He's now tied at 0 with Ghule.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

It was a good trade but we should continue the chain of asset management and get the guy out for picks

 

[Habby4Life]

This mess is 100% Hugo.

They have a very young team and they hire inexperienced coaches who can’t implement any D structure at all.

We also see what a talent like Hughes can do to break a game.

The Devils had to lose many years in a row to get him.

We have Demidov on the way and may get more talents in the next couple of drafts which will really help us down the line.

 

[HuGort]

Good game by Newhook and Gallagher. Good effort from the team in general. Devil's are good club. Questionable goaltending and Defensive lapses hurt us again.

 

[26Mats]

Don't be ridiculous. He got rid of Petry and got a 60 pt defenseman. Not going to do any better.

the key will be moving Matheson at the right time.

I didn't think Matheson had built his trade value up after one good offensive season. But this season he's been so bad defensively in the parts I've watched, have to think his trade value isn't that good right now.

Let the record show that Manitoba, Ontario, and Québec are wrong in their recognizance of Remembrance Day

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

my contractor offered me last-minute tickets to the game. went with my 6 mo. prego wife so had to leave at 2nd intermission. my observations:

- two first period goals against continues trend of not being ready to start the game
- Habs rallied and started playing well in the 2nd period, probably because Devils took their foot off the gas
- looked good: Slaf, Newhook, Evans
- invisible: Suzuki Caufield
- looked bad: Matheson
- Hughes had one sick dangle which was great to see live, he's very small though, looks like an elf out there.

 

[Trembz]

Probably becuae he doesn't want to put more pressure on Hutson.

I think Hutson would thrive with pp1 minutes... then let him stay on for pp2. Kids got energy, swagger and ententicy for days

We need teams to wants these guys ..

He's incredible. Devil's sucked this game especially in the first but were up 2-0 after a period because of two good shifts by Hughes. Nothing you can about that.

 

[Trembz]

Hell yes

Seriously? I mean to each their own

 

[salbutera]

They were able to produce last year...why are they all choking?

Easier to be the hunter vs the hunted - no expectations last year, much more difficult when you’re expected to deliver and opposition is paying more attention accordingly
