Anderson
Sack!!!???

I think this might be the last time we see him in a Habs jersey

Hope you right

This is the last time Kirby is seeing 1st unit PP duty. Laine is taking that spot next game.

Well he is scared of getting hurt. Maybe Bombay can give him a hug.

 

[overlords]

Has he been benched?

Has he played since the penalty? It was supposed to expire 5 minutes into the 3rd and I don't think I've seen him.

 

[JianYang]

Are you actually serious?

He’s not a legit starter.

Monty is alright. But you may be right that it's the worst 1-2 punch that the Habs have had, because they don't have an NHL level goalie behind Monty, and also because when you look down the list of habs goaltending and the level of starters they have had in the past, it's a high bar.

 

[EveryDay]

Not until we get better at center.

What do you mean better center, Dvorak isn't a quality 2nd line center?

 

[sampollock]

Evans is a keeper

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

His 3.00+gaa and sub .900 svt in his career as a starter in Montreal says otherwise.

We are the worst defensive team in the league. Of course his numbers aren't going to be great. That doesn't mean he's not a decent starter.

MSL benches him.
Yet....
Well we know
Matheson

 

[Habs13]

Thought Matheson was going to shoot on his own net there

 

[EveryDay]

Matheson on the PK again hahah, you can't teach that.

 

[overlords]

there's arber

Matheson on the PK again hahah, you can't teach that.

MSL needs a question on this asked if him

With an NHL goaltending and coaching level, this team would be in the mix.

Depiste what Gorton said i don't think Gorton and KH want to be in the mix though. They probably want to avoid a situation like Detroit where despite UFA signings and vet acquisitions the team is still not a playoffs team and they draft low. All moves by KH indicate he wants the kids to lead the team to a near playoffs position before moving and it's not happening this year which is certainly not a huge surprise. If he wanted to be in the mix he would have Kept Kova, Allen and signed Monahan.

They want top 3 pick

MSL's response...

I liked how our team played today but I'm not gonna talk about Matheson..

Primeau was so much better last year. He's really been poor this season.

Fowler coming soon.

 

[overlords]

at least the team is starting to show more of that 'until the last buzzer' mentality they had most of last year. They haven't given up like they were earlier in the year.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

His 3.00+gaa and sub .900 svt in his career as a starter in Montreal says otherwise.

The team was and is crap. That is probably all star stats for this team.

 

[Gillings]

They want top 3 pick

They NEED a top-2 pick.

Well that might make sense. Still freaking boring to watch an AHL goalie like Primo sucking all the life from this team.

 

[sampollock]

Need a better and tougher winger with CC and Nick

 

[sheed36]

Just went to go check the boxscore to see if Lindholm was playing for the B's today.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

We are the worst defensive team in the league. Of course his numbers aren't going to be great. That doesn't mean he's not a decent starter.

Right.

We were stalwarts in the Price era.

Montembault is below league average in save percentage every year he’s started here.

It’s a bad take, take your L and move along.

 

[LaP]

The game has been effectively over since the Bruins took that 3-0 lead. Can't really draw any conclusions from what happened since. As soon as we got back within two goals it's been Bruins all over again. We simply haven't been competitive in this one.

The Bruins have like 3 shots since we scored the 3rd goal.
