Post-Game Talk: Habs win in OT in Detroit

[Shawnathon]

^ yet another dude who doesn't grasp that it's not about him.

my dude, it's just a warm-up jersey, but it means something to someone else. how hard is it to just shrug and say "OK"?

You’re the one who can’t seem to grasp. Keep those jerseys away from hockey and stop trying to gaslight the players into wearing them.

The Primeau we saw tonight was the Primeau we saw in Laval when he was on top of his game. Laval went on a long playoff run 2 seasons ago and Primeau was outstanding.

It was nice to see him so composed, controlling rebounds.
The one issue I always had with Primeau was his inability to handle pucks but tonight that wasn't an issue.

After tonight I am convinced he would not clear waivers.

Prime needs to see more pucks. I really hope Hughes is working on an Allen or Monty trade to be concluded before December is over.

Saying that, he had the time to work on his rebound control that was abysmal when he faced the Devils so maybe he's working harder in practices.

How do you feel about removing national anthems and removing all military celebrations? Breast Cancer jerseys too?

Imagine comparing breast cancer to celebrating somebody with gender dysphoria. This is exactly why so many people have to turned the LGBTQ+.

You don’t need to agree with everything another person does to accept them for who they are. Pride Night is a politically driven campaign at this point which is why we’re seeing a lot of push back. Keep it out of pro sports and find another way to make people of all races, sexuality, etc feel welcome. Extremists have ruined the purpose of the pride flag and colours.

Pride Night is a message to say everyone is welcome in sports building. Homophobes decided it was political to hide the fact that they're homophobes. Religion, politics, extremists, not accepting to wear blue on Tuesdays, gnomes, they're all miserable excuses.

There are a million themed nights in pro sports but idiots/haters only want this one to be banned. Like I said, it's not about religion or politics, it's about homophobia, transphobia, etc. That's why having Pride Night is important.

I'll keep on thinking Reimer is an idiot. That's how that conversation started, so you can just carry on.

Bah! Didn't Russia just make promoting homosexuality illegal? With lots of Russian players in the NHL and then lots of former NHL players playing in Russia, having pride nights became too distracting because anybody with a Russian connection has legitimate fears in regards to the legality of their participation in such a thing. But if some players don't participate it pretty much demonstrates the opposite of what pride is supposed to represent.

I woudn't assume every player who didn't participate in pride nights is homophobic. The world is simply in a really complicated situation right now.


Good game last night from the Habs!! Victory!!!!!!!

 

[BLONG7]

Was there ever an explanation as to why the Detroit goal counted? I just can’t understand that one.

I was shocked that the glove goal counted.................the explanation never seemed to come, not sure it would make sense anyhow....

 

[Trabdy2]

Matheson looked more focused with better decision making. Very good game from him. Let's hope it continues.

Suzuki played a great game too.

Barron seems to be quietly eating minutes.

Imagine comparing breast cancer to celebrating somebody with gender dysphoria. This is exactly why so many people have to turned the LGBTQ+.

I was comparing the inclusivity of celebrating everything that needs our attention, not comparing the two issues, but I'm sure you don't want to see that and turn it into being about your last sentence.

 

[Takeru]

6 wins...only 2 in regulation

We're bottom 3 in regards to reg wins.

Once you celebrate everything, you're arguably celebrating nothing.

repressed feelings much?

Great argument. I must've missed furry night.

 

[Takeru]

These stats are so bogus... There were no 3 on 3 OT before, it's normal that it's easier nowadays to score in those...

It is nice indeed for CC but also an indictment of the team poor play:
Sure helps breaking the OT goal record when we're constantly going to OT cause we can't win by a decent margin.

Brisebois was a player asked to play as a top pairing D when in reality he was a solid #4. He played over a 1000 games and in retrospect Habs fans should be ashamed for the way they treated him. I was guilty of being harsh to him at times.

Truly trash fans that would boo a player like Brisebois. Awful the way he was treated.

I met him once, he was such a nice guy, great conversation, gave me one of his sticks, signed.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Everyone do

But i don't want to be in da playoffs with Allen as a goalie. Going in the playoffs with Allen as your goalie is like buying a thousand 649 tickets and hoping you'll win because you bought a thousand of them. It's a better strategy to just keep the money and invest it somewhere else

A voluntary tax on the ill-informed.

(CP) Gainey defends Brisebois

Gainey met with reporters after the game to defend oft-maligned defenceman Patrice Brisebois, who was booed every time he touched the puck after the midway point of the second period.

After scoring a goal in the third, Brisebois turned to the crowd and motioned with his hand for them to turn up the volume.

“We don’t need those people, we don’t want those people, they’re jealous people, yellow people,” Gainey said of the fans who booed Brisebois. “I think they’re a bunch of gutless bastards, to be honest.”

Brisebois has been a favourite of the Bell Centre boo birds for the last three seasons. His play over that time has been far from perfect, but it probably hasn’t been bad enough to justify that kind of a sustained reaction from the fans.

Though the booing of Brisebois has been going on for a long time, this is the first time a member of the Canadiens organization has spoken directly to the fans about it.

“Our message to them is to stay away,” Gainey said. “We don’t need you.”

Does it really matter? The hockey gods ultimately spoke to the real truth. As it always should be.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Goal can go in off any part of the body as long as it wasn't used to direct the puck in.

The puck hit his hand and went in, in no way can you see Fischer propel his hand toward the puck causing it to go in the net. Therefore, legal goal.

It's the same if the shot came from the point and deflected off the screening forward's hand and went in the net. It counts.

Yeah, exactly my point.

Wanna bet that if that was a pass off his give, it would’ve been whistled down?

(CP) Gainey defends Brisebois

I was in Montreal for the game Theodore and Brisebois returned to the Bell Centre with the Colorado Avalanche and it was one of the most toxic environments I’d ever seen in my life. You would’ve thought Hitler and his right hand man were skating on the ice that night.

 

[WeThreeKings]

What does that matter?

The standards for playing the puck with a high-stick and scoring a goal with your stick in the air is different, too.

Matheson is not blossoming cmon now. Why do you think that? We played dead hockey since November last year. Playing hockey when there is no pressure is way easier. It happened to Rem Pitlick , RHP even Chariot for god sake lol.

Petry being an example is not the ''told you so'' It happen like twice in a decade that an actual good nhler get good at 30 and most of the time they have secondary roles.

We are bordeline a bottom 10 team with 3 players carrying us offensively with our goalies saving games many times this year already.

Matheson can be explosive and has 3 goals but he did cost this season 5x the amount of turnovers into goal or terrible plays saved by goalies. He needs to be way more better defensively. His role is a 4th dman in a decent team. He shouldnt be p laying on the PK neither.

There is a reason why Florida and Pittsburgh let him go and he's been doing that this season. He's very inconsistent since his NHL debut. No team would have let him go with that speed offensive tools if he had barely any defensive flaws. So no he's not blooming , he's an asset to a future trade

You have no numbers to back up your claims. You're just pounding the table repeating the same baseless claims, hoping if you say it enough it will be true. Matheson is playing the best of hockey of his career here. sorry you're just wrong.

Hiding behind your religion so you can keep on being an homophobe isn’t respecting or inclusive. It isn’t about your religion either, it’s about hate. There are a lot of Christians, even priests, who don’t need that and understand the importance of Pride Night. They must not be good Christians then! Also, the 3000 years old book you’re following doesn’t even bring it up so that’s a personal belief, not a Christian one.

And about the gnome, that’s my point of view of all religions.

An evangelical Mennonite like James Reimer willingly wearing a camo jersey and celebrating military appreciation nights while taking a stand against Pride and inclusivity is all you need to know about his "religious beliefs". He can't be bothered to respect his own beliefs, it shouldn't be a surprise that others don't respect them either.

With Matheson playing almost half of each game it would appear that the coaches view Matheson as currently playing the best hockey of his career.
