Post-Game Talk: Habs spank Blues 5-2 in a great collective effort!

[CauZuki]

Really nice game.

KK showed the naysayers in the KK thread all the talent he had. Just wish hed shoot more now.

Confidence's a hell of a drug...

 

[CauZuki]

I think Folin is more steady. Hopefully Juulsen or Fleury will push Chiarot to the #7 spot soon enough.

There is no way we are paying 3.5M for a 7th D when we are already paying nearly 5M for a bottom pairing D...In the AHL.

 

[26Mats]

And he had so many chances today...

 

[HabsEstrie]

Something ultra positive after 8 games, tied for the league lead in goals for.

 

[jj cale]

Mre ch@racter.

 

[Pickles]

Nah, they disrupted us quite regularly in the first period and Price had to be sharp. I thought the game could have went in any direction. Second goal was as important as it was lucky.

The Blues looked a lot slower than the Habs to me. 2nd-period goals by the Habs did them in. That lucky goal by Gally may have been the turning point.

Typo. Perhaps a Freudian slip. BUt I meant Folin to the #7 spot.

STL Bus Company > Saint-Louis Blues

We've got a better record than the leafs through 8 games.

With our division/conference being so strong, we may have to beat out a Boston, Tampa or Toronto caliber team.

I think we'll win tomorrow -not guaranteed on a back to back. We'll have to bring it.

But, I really hope we beat the Leafs next Saturday.

I think they are complacent. Not really a surprise considering the season they've had. And the frustration is starting to mount up as well. That's why they can't execute their intended style of play with any consistency. Nevertheless, up to a certain point in the second period, they've probably created more scoring chances than we did. I thought we were better in the home game against them.

 

[NotProkofievian]

And what a sneaky goal by Suzuki. You don't have to be so fast when the dmen don't see you.

 

[yianik]

A win, on the road, against the Cup champs. Really good all around effort, young guys stepping up and Drouin keeps playing hard and being rewarded.

 

[ahmedou]

The Blues looked like a stereotypical middle-pack Western team - big, lumbering, grindy. They had no answer to the Habs' skating and hustle all over the ice.

A big propsdou to ourselves. Because even we lost some players in this road trip we’ve been resilient. That's the mindset I’m cheering for.

 

[Runner77]

Tastes like chicken...

 

[DangerDave]

Hey! Hey! Come on now, we don't tolerate this kind of sexist and misogynistic behaviour in today's NHL...We have female "on ice specialists" that happen to be appealing to the human eye! They are NOT "Pom Pom Girls"...

The real Laval Rockets.

 

[Milhouse40]

It's been a long time since we could say this:
Right now the Habs have a top 10 powerplay with 25.8%

They stopped setting up that Weber shot and it's working, they've become less predictable….been saying that for 2 years now.

And we've just past Toronto in the standings. (Okay they are playing Boston tonight)

Suzuki is here to stay

Clode trusts him to kill penalties and take face offs.

Dude chill with the photoshops, you’ve been killing me the past few days.

 

[DangerDave]

Clode trusts him to kill penalties and take face offs.

Watched a bunch of Suzuki in Guelph/OS last year and while he was used in all situations, I didn't expect him to be this good defensively already. Usually takes young guys a little while.

 

[Runner77]

My gut tells me that when the Habs are up on their opponent, Drouin's ice-time gets cut. When they are behind, its increased.

I posted the wrong tweet in response to your prior post. It should have been this in respect of Drouin's TOI:



AC guys are saying that the lower ice time probably had to do with the coach sending him a message.

 

[Runner77]

And he had so many chances today...

Well, I do expect mistakes. He's got what, 8 games of NHL experience? I can live with his mistakes, he's on a path and is mature for his age.

Who knew...

 

[26Mats]

He's playing well with Thompson and Cousins.

But I wouldn't mind seeing Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Suzuki tomorrow, especially if we get a good lead.

 

[CauZuki]

Tatar concerns me the most, he looks lost out there and takes way too many dumb penalties...

 

[Runner77]

On a different note, that Doug Wickenheiser biopic on RDS during the intermissions, was so tragic. And then passing away with cancer, so young leaving behind a spouse and kids.
