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

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why does MSL plays Matheson like its Danault 2.0 my god

 

[Habs]

Craig Rivet was so f***ing bad tonight, GTFO #52

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Monty needs to do better. This game should've been a win if they have any aspirations to be dans ze mix.

 

[ahmedou]

Every Habs games should be on Prime Video!

Not just on Mondays....

Prime Video Monday to Sunday Night Hockey!

 

[SlafySZN]

He's coming back after missing an entire year can we give him 20 games to get back in game shape?

He'll likely need more, probably.

 

[No More Subban]

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.

Dach is still young while Monahan is an experienced vet.

 

[expy]

Not the worst. Sorry. There’s an elephant in the room.

Barren wasteland.

 

[417]

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.

 

[Stive Morgan]

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

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Free Guhle!!!

 

[Habs13]

Get Heineman on the 2nd line.

Seriously! Give him Armia's spot... he ain't using it anyway.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I mean we mad, but we’re not there yet. Second youngest team in the nhl. Matheson shouldn’t be playing this much. He’s at best, a 3D. Savard is a 5D and looks incredibly slow, even slower than usual.
The 1st line is coming around but the second one has a C who is still getting in game shape playing with two wingers who are probably 3rd and 4th liners. I’d like to see Heinemann there.
The goalies are still inconsistent.
Slaf, Hutson and Guhle progressing nicely.
We’ll be ok, but lack skill / scoring in top 6 (what else is new)
And maturation of the defence is a big problem.

 

[Habs Icing]

Defense was Barren outside of Guhle and Hutson.

Guhle, Slaf, and Heineman with the goals.

Everyone else was bad.


#BergevinSucks

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?

 

[Kennerback]

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

 

[dinodebino]

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

 

[EXPOS123]

Was Wifi playing tonight?

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

It will take a while before he get back to where he was before the injury. When he's back to speed it will be interesting to see if he can take the next step, a lot ride on him breaking out.

Agreed, one of the better presentations I've seen in a long time.

 

[Habano]

Guhle was very good
Hutson was Good
X was ok
Savard, Barron and Matheson were bad

 

[Rapala]

Gonna be a number of these -4 games for Hutson when guys like Slaf and Caufield can't back him up properly. FME
Only Guhle ended up in the plus column...

And David Savard is killing me too many games in a short window for him.

 

[le_sean]

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

Well Barron is a kid and he looks like dogshit

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

We didn't even play that bad , gave the game away at the end , some pretty awful pinches

 

[417]

Was Wifi playing tonight?

He has terrible reads defensively.

 

[The Great Weal]

I know the season is young but I just don’t see “it” with this core.

You're making assumptions about a core that isn't even fully here yet. It's not a season thing, most of our core isn't even in the lineup.

Suzuki is too slow and not engaged enough on a regular basis.

He was a top 10 C in the league last year.

We are extremely thin up front on talent coupled with a lack of identity and no physical presence on any line.

So you think Slaf is done growing? Don't even have Laine/Demidov and will still have room to make big adds too.

Extremely thin on the right side of our defence (with no help in our pipeline)

Two of our best prospects are RHD.

and our goaltending is extremely inconsistent.

Goaltending won us 2 games this season and we still have one of the best goalie prospects in the league.

This rebuild is at least 2-3 years away.

Very bold conclusion considering it's been 4 games and most of the core isn't even here.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Entertaining game.

But some dreadful mistakes by both young players and vets.
