Post-Game Talk: Mon Lars leads Pens past the Habs 6-3

[Boss Man Hughes]

Hutson was on the ice for 3 of the 5 goals, 4 of the 6 if you count the empty netter. Yet He was one of the better defensemen for you?

And were the goals his fault. The first one was Anderson's fault.

 

[ViD]

How did Demidov look ?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It was a fun game after a crappy 1st.

We need Dach to do something out there. That whole line sucks. Armia needs to drop to 4th line. Promote Gallagher to Dach's line.

Still not much offense behind the 1st line. I thought Suzuki played a good game. He picked up 2a and Slafkovsky is looking better.

D had a lot of cringe worthy moments in this one. It's still a work in progress, that's for sure. We need another defensive defenseman because Savard struggled in this one. Reinbacher has a place here.

Montembeault may not have played his best games, but Montreal was giving up a ton of high danger chances & odd man rushes.

2-2 in 4 games.

Messier making sense.

The line did not pick up their guys streaking up with only Matheson? back on at least one of the goals. Maybe 2. Terrible efforts by forwards, I agree that Hutson can’t ever go up again if our forwards don’t know they need to cover for him.

The team battled and they're starting to understand the three offensive "lanes" MSL talks about. There's a lot more creativity than we this team has had in the last 30 years. Definitely a good approach to how you play without the puck to create space offensively.

However, defensively is where things get really messy. The younger players made mistakes, but I thought the veterans should have played much tighter. Savard had one of his worst games Ive seen. Matheson really needs to keep things simple as he's very good when he does. Hutson is a bulldog, man is he talented and smart.

You found that he was responsible for the goals ?

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Not Lane best game.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

No clue why people are freaking out. Kids are alright. That is all that matters.

Not all of them

 

[waffledave]

Also it's probably been said already and it was discussed in the GDT, but...

The Prime stream was awesome! Crystal clear picture, unbiased calling and analysis of the game. No gambling ads, no Leafs BS, just hockey baby

My wife was saying she had trouble watching because it was too clear. She's used to blurry ass TSN2.

Well Barron is a kid and he looks like dogshit

Barron looked like dogshit?

I think alot of fans just don't like him and unless he scores a goal, it doesn't matter if he has a good game (like tonight for example) then its just about confirming a bias.

If Barron was dogshit tonight, not sure what Savard or Xhekaj were by comparison.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Entertaining game.

But some dreadful mistakes by both young players and vets.

And the vets are the ones that shouldn't be making mistakes.

Yup. Savard was on for a few as well, and was worse than Hutson. Barren, Matheson, Xhekaj?... yea Hutson was better.

We won’t hit 1.000.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

What does Newhook even do

His best moments were at C last year

 

[Team_Spirit]

Monty wasn’t great but he gave us two top-notch game. He’s forgiven.

That point blank save in the 3rd was amazing.

Amazon did a good job picture quality is great product value too. The panel I always skip so it wtv for me.

Kings next

If Barron was dogshit tonight, not sure what Savars or Xhekaj were.

Barren was worse than Xhekaj, probably near on par with Savard.

Distant

It was excellent! Wasn't sure what to expect going in. I loved it.

Playing .500 hockey would be a good step forward, but you always hope for PO

He’s giving away the puck when he’s last man back. All. The. Time. He can’t do that.

 

[Chili]

They shut out Sid but how do you stop a playa like Laws Ella?

The ups and downs of following a very young team.

 

[OnTheRun]

Monty was bad and the 3rd and 4th goal killed their momentum.

Its going to take Dach awhile to get going, said it several times this offseason that we have to be patient with him.

Tristan Direct wasn't stellar either, they just have a vet team less likely to be rattled by that.

 

[74 others]

Not to dump on Dach who's coming back from a long injury but the bar was set high for him to replace Sean Monahan.

Monahan was providing secondary scoring all by himself playing with scrub during his whole tenure with us.

I'm sure Kirby will come along fine but he will have to figure out a way to produce with lesser quality teammates.

True, that's the player Chicago has traded. I still hope it will work out though.

 

[sampollock]

Need to learn to play earlier boys

Barren was worse than Xhekaj, probably near on par with Savard.

2 Dmen were sheltered all night…Barron wasn't one of them.

I don't personally grade player’s on a popularity scale.
