Post-Game Talk: On this Remembrance Day, the Habs remembered what it feels like to win a game. Habs beat Sabres.

[Habs]

holy f*** Buffalo is bad to lose to Primeau lol

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Will this game be replayed tonight does anyone know?

Not on RDS I don’t have it lol

 

[Kimota]

My wife promised me something when the Habs won again!!!!

Same!

Oh shit.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

holy f*** Buffalo is bad to lose to Primeau lol

I think Monty got credited with the win.

 

[Rapala]

Okay Slaf don't make me turn this sucker off.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Thank you Vincent Valentine

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

So reschedule all upcoming games to start at noon?

Long as you remind the goalie the game doesnt start at 7pm

 

[larek]

Considering these guys were craving offense results since a few games I think it does build up confidence and momentum.

We'll see moving forward. And I agree it's really nice to see Cole on top for goals!

Momentum only if they win a few in a row

 

[ahmedou]

Thank you Remembrance Day!

Can we have Remembrance Day in every games...

To remember the Habs that we're the Habs!

Try Russian vkontakte. That site broadcasts all the matches, they are on record. In English, sometimes in French. If you need to log in you shouldn't have any problems, I had no problems creating an account from Slovakia.

Yup, time to put on our big boy pants.

Send Primeau to Laval, regardless of the consequences…..he needs to find his game (or not) if we lose him so be it. Might as well get a look at Dobes or Hughes, can’t be any worse. Remember how that old saying goes, doing the same thing expecting a different result…..

 

[Heffyhoof]

The team needed this win and it was even a fun game with all the lead changes and quick answers.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Our next game is @ Minnesota. We always get crushed there.

 

[OldCraig71]

Sad news for me, apparently day games are not part of the deal, headache blah blah.

 

[Guess]

It's early but what i would conclude from this season so far and what i think should probably be corrected before the next season start is this :

1. David Savard is done as top 4. Reinbacher and Mailloux wont be ready to handle the main load on the right side for 2 to 3 more years. So we have to find a vet top 4 on a 2-3 years contract to replace Savard and let Savard go. Someone like Hamrlik would be perfect.

2. For me it's becoming clear Dach is a winger. I think he can still be a quality top 6 winger once he finds his groove back. We should try to add a top 6 vet center for next season. Again ideally on a 2-3 years contract while waiting for Beck and Hage to show what they can do. Basically Monahan on a shorter contract.

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Laine - vet center - Dach
Newhook - Evans - Demidov
Anderson - ? - Gallagher

3. A choice must be made between Matheson and Hutson. They both play the same role. Ideally the defense should look like that next season :

Hutson - vet top 4
Guhle - Reinbacher / Mailloux
Xhekaj / Struble - Barron

Matheson could be used as an asset to acquire one of the two needs above.

4. We must add a vet goalie. Again contract must not be too long 2-3 years. Also someone younger than Allen. Montombeau and Primo was worth a shot but if they keep playing like that something will need to be done. I agree there was maybe one weakish goal today the defense again made lot of big mistakes but it's the NHL you got to make some big saves here and there and they are not being done this season at all. The first goal was stopptable. It was a hign danger scoring chance and a big whoopsie from the defense but that was a stoppable goal. You got to save those here and there imo.

I don't know why people keep saying Dach is not a center, before his injury last preseason he was our best player at center, he's great defensively and always made other players who played with him better. The only thing he sucked at was faceoffs.

Since the injury his skating hasn't been the same, I would keep him at wing until he looks back to 100% and has his confidence again, then put him back at C.

 

[Lolonegoal]

I'm not writing him off yet. He was really good last year and he's still young. I'm hoping he snaps out of it.

Habs do need to make a goaltending move right now though until he gets his confidence back which may involve sending him down and hoping he doesn't get claimed.

People keep making this defense that Primeau is young. He is:

7 months younger than Oettinger (4th year as starter)
8 months younger than Swayman (4th year as starter or 1b)
9 months younger than Skinner (3rd year as starter)

All those goalies multiple years starting for competitive teams.

He's also older than starters or 1bs doing far better including:

Luukonen, Dostal, Ersson, Annunen and Wolf

 

[Kennerback]

It just confirmed some things. Don’t count on the goaltending. Caufield can score many goals but can’t play defensively.

Exactly .I have been saying the same thing about Primeau for weeks.He is just no good.

Primeau sucks, but also it would be nice to see the Habs switch back to zone defense. I don't see any goaltender having good stats the way we play in the D zone.

 

[The Real Timo]

Not on RDS I don’t have it lol

It will be replayed for years to come

 

[larek]

Not this time

 

[zx81]

I think Monty got credited with the win.

A 4 save win. You don't see that very often.

 

[eklund the clown]

Possibly but not too many teams can win in the NHL when the goalie gives up 2-3 or more bad goals every game no matter what style of defense they are playing.Loved the announcer on TSN on one of the flubbed goals saying Primeau couldn't see it Dahlin shot i think The camera from behind showed no screen whatsoever.Bring Hughes up pronto or Dobes if they have to or maybe both lol .Monty hasn't exactly looked like Dryden either but not as bad as Primeau.

 

[nhlfan9191]

He’s the Habs version of Justin Pogge in Toronto.

 

[OldCraig71]

Primeau has issues with shots to the glove side, seems to misjudge them and gets burned too often.

Matheson is brutal and whatever fluke run he was on last season hasn't carried over into this year.

What's with the Xhekaj hate Marty? Everyone else gets lots of rope so why not AX?

Dach is not likely to be part of the future in Montreal, not a great top 6 player.

Suzuki is not overweight or slow like some here were suggesting.
