Post-Game Talk: Wattanite at the Bell Centre, Habs can Cannots in OT!

Suzuki mayor of the city shaking the refs hands after the game is funny to me

It was the refs 1500th game

Enjoy it. Even if it’s just for a moment

Yeah, Pens & Blue Jackets play tomorrow night. Whoever wins that game will bump us out, but considering at one point in this season we were the last place team in the league, this is an amazing achievement.

 

[ryan callahan]

I mean Celebrini is pretty awesome, too.

If Hutson maintains his pt pace, brings his +/- back to around neutral and Habs are a playoff team, he is a slam dunk winner. Big ifs, but easily doable.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Only 4 pts back of Bruins with 2 games in hand, too. Montreal definitely has an opportunity to take their spot.

lmao

 

[Garnet76]

Hottest team in the league in the last 10 games. 8-2 tied with Vegas.

 

[OldCraig71]

Fans really took the "in the mix" comments too literally and shouldn't have put so much weight into them. I have read different versions of that for a while. Well boys, if we aren't in the mix then where are we?

This team was 4-9-x at one point. Who would have thought they would climb back over 500 at that time. They were completely lost

It's actually pretty crazy to think about considering how clueless they looked back then.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Hutson at pick 62 is ludicrous. That’s how you build a perennial playoff team. By finding steals like that. It also insulates Habs from questionable first rounders.
Fowler and beck maybe other steals.
Hage too. Demidov?
Holy shit it’s coming together

We’re in the f***ing cake pan and waiting for your oven mits!

2nd Wild Card !!!!

Meh let's go get third in the division.

Hutson with 30 points already at mid-season. Dach back on track. Habs putting winning series. Dobes, the shiny new toy in town. How can we be negative now ?

 

[Ozmodiar]

I might actually keep Armia. That line is so good together, and he's an ace pker. He's 32 this summer, though. I wouldn't go more than 2 years.

One thing that’s apparent during this good stretch is the consistency in the bottom 6. Pez draws in and what do they do? They put him with Dach, keep the bottom 6 intact.

Evans having career year, but Heineman and Armia playing great. If they’re gonna extend Evans, why not roll with the same line next season? I agree with 2 year term.

 

[JustAHabFan]

feels good to finally have a game breaker on the team. Can’t wait to add another next year with Demidov.

And Hage after that. Habs' future is very bright. We actually drafted players who will pour sweat and blood for the team.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

One of those rare times we get to laugh at the teams passing on Hutson

Doesnt happen often for us the last 20 yrs

Let's get the Bruins spot and let them fight with other teams for the WC spot.

 

[Hacketts]

ohhh babyyyyy... looks like we got ourselves a hockey team!

 

[Runner77]

Give Hutson a true scorer on the other side instead of a reconstructed cement-hands guy and that's a goal any way you slice it.

 

[Zorro]

Hutson would have at least half a dozen more assists if those would have been converted.

Yeah, I think the bruins are vulnerable to a bit of a free fall.

The coaching bump hasn't really worked out. They have a hard time scoring, and their goal differential suggests that they don't belong where they are.

It would certainly make things even more interesting if this happens.

I just hope we aren't looking back and wondering what would have happened if we didn't give them Cayden primeau to play against in both games.

 

[Rapala]

Mike Matheson is scaring me recently with his consistency as a #1RD.

 

[1909]

It is only in our minds that the Dvo and Evans lines are bottom six.

We've been laughing at teams passing over Caufield too.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Hutson at pick 62 is ludicrous

62 is also his points pace.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

This is a lot more like I thought the team would be like before we started the year. Only we’re not playing as badly defensively as I thought we would. A big reason for that is Carrier.

Great pickup. He’s made a huge difference back there. And it’s helped Ghule so much too. What a game from him tonight.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Hard to be mad when the young players are the ones doing the heavy lifting, I've come to accept the tank is ruined anyway.

Hutson is already a star, what an amazing player. Our true 2022 first overall.
