On this Remembrance Day the Habs Remembered what It Feels Like to Win A Game Habs Beat Sabres

He only played one game because he sucked there. If he did any better, they'd have kept him. Their goaltending has been trash.
He's a sub .900 goalie in 140 games. He's not it.
Absolutely! 11 points in 13 games, I hope he pots a few goals soon though.
The f***?
Dach was very good today and looked awesome the last two years until injury. Maybe hold the phone there a bit. My goodness.
Boggles my mind you trash on Dach and pump the tires on Arber Xhekaj.
What constitutes as high danger ?
The Tage drive to the net for the first goal against him ?
Is a tip 10 feet in front not considered a high danger chance because it wasn't a shot ?
Looking at the statlines, I can see some positives here:
-Slaf even on his +/- is nice to see
-We've got quite a few players floating at 0.5ppg, and that's without playing lights out. There's a reasonable chance Dach can improve his production, and maybe Anderson and Gallagher will keep at it and score 20+. Even with those modest numbers that's a decent secondary scoring group, so long as the 1st line plays to their own expected level.
-The points will come for newhook, who is still averaging 20.5gpg. He's working hard and I think as the season goes on he'll be in the right chair. If he can join the secondary scorers that's great for the campaign.
-Heineman has yet to add himself to the secondary scoring players I highlighted, but could easily break out with that shot. I am keeping my expectations low but I think he will be a good overall contributor this year outside his production.
-Any points or drawing of quality opposition Laine generates upon his return will help the secondary scoring.
Well, instead of being unsure whether we like boys, girls, or both we're stuck in the, should I complain and hate this team and get a top 3 pick, or should I complain, hate this team and get the 9th pick
Slaf has solid instincts in the Ozone. Each of the assists he picked up today were on plays where he knew what he what he was doing with the puck before he even had it.
Did Martin read this board for today?
finally put back Slaf with Suzuki.
5 points for ''worst captain in habs history'' for some people here
Matheson stats padding
Dach stats padding
Habs need to do much better than this , we won because Buffalo goalies were somehow even worse than Primeau. Gotta learn to play defensively and be more aggro on the puck instead of being passive

Slaf is a different breed, playing with no tape in his blade that’s some maniac kind of stuff, destined to greatness
I have been hard on Anderson for a couple of years but he has been decent so far this season. 8 points in 16 games but what I like is he has been more consistent and noticeable. Nice goal today.
He actually started scoring last year when he stopped fulling taping.
His shooting percentage is at 5%-6%. He finished last season above 13%. Should fix itself once they can get the cycle going better and not everyone is just trying to get Caufield to score.
Him, especially Gally, and Evans have been decent to good this season so far. Might get a few second round picks and dump some salaries and THEN hopefully Hughes can do his job and get us the players that will make this team very hard to play against. Maybe even a decent RD.

Decent? They have outperformed their 3rd line opponents every game this season + Andersons contribution to a significantly improved PK
He's playing like Josh Anderson again.
Marty tried to teach him to slow down the game. But it was a big mistake.
He's dumb as rocks and he likes to skate fast.
Leave his blinders on and let him believe he's f1 even though he's f2 or f3.
Lol... What a concept. Leave players play to their strength. Who wudda thought...
So is it going to become a big decision then at TDL? Keep or trade?
Anderson is also doing what made him successful w CBJ - PK + 3rd line energy.
For some reason his role was changed to more offensively oriented when acquired by Mtl.
I said in preseason Habs big advantage is the depth Gallagher & Anderson provide to be able to outmatch their opponents and will stick w my forecast of 35G+ for the duo
I agree to most of your post.
On the Dach point… I still believe in him as a center. We can’t trust what we see now to make a correct decision on what his potential is.
We’ve been spoiled with elite goaltending for too long, I forgot how deflating a weak goalie could be.
I've played hockey long enough to tell you as a player it's very very deflating. If the other team score after every mistake you do you feel like you have zero margin for error and you start getting out of the game plan to stop shots you should probably leave to the goalie.
