Post-Game Talk: Habs shut out the Laffs in season opener!

[Max2]

Next game against the Leafs is a month away on November 9th....then not again until mid January.Too bad we only play them 4 times this year as the games are always fun

Monty is a top 15, maybe 10, goaltender in the league. Put some respect on this word.

Love his voice too.

top 15 sounds about right. definitely agree he doesn't get enough respecc

And as it has been for the last two years, Montembeault playing like a superstar goaltender results in an unearned win.

People have no idea just how good he is, and how badly that's harmed us during the tank years. It was the reason we didn't draft Bedard.

 

[WentWughes]

Monty stole a game for us. We did not compete at all in the 2nd or 3rd and had gotten completely dominated. Also it is a complete joke that Matheson is on pp1 and it is absurd that an NHL head coach is not seeing that. Honestly wish we started this year with the first unit not scoring for 10+ games so Marty can get his head out of his ass and make the change to Hutson.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

So...still worry about Hutson's size ???

I am a huge fan but I noticed one extended shift where he looked small and frankly out of place against very large forwards on the cycle. Hutson should already be a net positive, just saying, there are situations where he will look bad on defense due to his size & strength.

Awesome

Just think if we had PL

 

[Rafafouille]

So close yet so far.


Suck it.

 

[Kents polished head]

Oh and Domi calling Savard a fat **** only to get steamrolled by said fat **** a few minutes later was pretty funny.

Saw Savard in civil clothing in the summer of last year during the Festival d'été de Québec.

Cameras and hockey equipment don't give the guy justice. Definitely has a bit of fluff but also tons of muscle for a hockey player. Especially in the upper body. Dude has massive arms.

 

[JianYang]

Leafs already in playoff form.

 

[Habs]

Made the trip up for the game tonight.
All I really need to say is, if we ever have a 5 on 3 Powerplay again and don’t put Hutson out there I’m going to snap.
There is no better time to play the kid. Every time he’s on the ice he’s constantly moving his feet and making things happen. Our 5 on 3 was atrocious, we made it as easy as we possibly could for the Leafs to defend it.
Everyone standing around. Hutson will shine in that situation.
Other than that, GG Monty.

Sorry, the new guy ABB gets the PP time now because he's a local guy.

Maybe he can finally start using it.

I think we are gonna get throttled vs Bruins tbh

He played a damn good game but let's be honest here , those kinds of game rarely happens from him. He's a decent goalie but hes not that kind of goalie to save u night after night.

He's a goalie that is reliable but he's not a 1A , he's a great 1b . If we had 2 Montombeau who could share the net 41 games a year , this would be perfect.

Some nights he can be really really shaky , if he had his normal ''performance'' we lose probably 3-1 tonight and he would still have played a great game.

Let's say he's not the reason why we struggle often

In pressers, during training camp, players called him big Savy a couple of times.

 

[JianYang]

I didn't watch the game, so I went to the nhl highlights.

I shit you not, their 3rd period package was only one highlight for the last 10 seconds.

Do they have a bot to compile the highlights too?

 

[admiralcadillac]

I’m not Montembeault’s biggest fan but tonight was easily one of the best performances from a goaltender in Habs history since Price or Halak

Utterly wrong. He is capable of amazing games but has far too many bad or average ones for me to agree with you.

 

[Habssince89]

Monty has improved each year and it really goes to show you how much luck you need to be a regular goalie in the NHL because you need the opportunity to not just play but actually study and improve. Monty happened to get that chance and he hasn't squandered it.

Well deserved SO tonight.

 

[FinnHab]

Wonderful start! Im not gonna lie. For me, this win is so satisfying after another summer with TSN`s disgusting Leafs hype train. Serial losers gonna lose again.
