Post-Game Talk: We win! We win! 3-2 against Vegas!!

[Conflicted Habs fan]

We're invincible!

 

[sheed36]

In honor of a great Habs comeback road win today and the final Habs PGT of 2024. Salut.....

 

[The Great Weal]

Funny how Barron and Struble kept filling in for one another, but now with Carrier, Struble isn't going to play unless there's an injury.

 

[EveryDay]

Lane Hutson +7 in his last 5 games! But hey according to the main board he's awful defensively lol

 

[jrom]

What a gutsy come from behind victory for your team today. Great win. Montembeault was spectacular.

Do you know if the team will get to stay in Vegas to celebrate New Year’s tonight or fly home to Montreal before midnight?

With a team this young I hope they party in Vegas !

It'll be 20 years for me on January 8th. Can't imagine all the drivel you guys and gals had to read from me over my 20 years here.

I was faxing my posts on this board before there was AOL dialup.

 

[Rapala]

Marty looks about 5yrs younger even with the beard.

 

[ZUKI]

Call a Dachter if your erection doesn't subside in 6 hours. Make sure these visits are covered by your health plan Carrier

Someone just say "erection " ?

I know people have various definition of what a tank is but you can be on tank team and hoping that the team wins games and gets better. The point of a tank is to improve the team so the team got to improve at some point. I'm still on team tank and i hope we'll trade guys at the TDL. We can always add a vet or two next summer if needed those guys wont be around when the kids will be ready to contend anyway. What i like is we are winning with guys 26 and under our vets are playing a depth role for the most part so we are not trying to artificially win games.

Happy to see the Dach resurrection.

It's not easy for me to say this but Matheson have been great in the last 2 weeks, he's playing like a solid D.

 

[Kimota]

Meh... MSL was laughed at by some when he said he could see the switch was about to flip.

KH saw that the roster could take a big step forward with minimal additions (whereas some posters were crying all summer that the likes of the Hawks & Preds had done way more to improve their rosters).

This isn't just luck and "stars aligning"... Much like Slaf's breakout last year, this is a very intentional, patient, and highly effective rebuild that is following the model of the best run high performance organizations on the planet.

They are getting the most important things right, and seem to have the resolve to be patient in trusting the process.


Future is bright

(& We'll have more bad streaks before we firmly establish ourselves as an elite, cup contending roster, that's a given)

I'm talking about our recent success mainly. Because so far the season had been painful to watch. Then we got a bump with Laine. Then returned to normal. Then we got another bump with the addition of Carrier. And now we destroy three elite teams back to back.

Officially in the mix.

 

[OldCraig71]

Watching forwards covering for D, watching players flipping pucks to center, watching the team take away the neutral zone and frustrate high powered teams makes me ejackalit.

[Habs Icing]

Happy to see the Dach resurrection.

It's Christmas, not Easter.

 

[Tuggy]

They may not make the playoffs, but it's a lot more fun watching games now. I was pumped when Dach scored.

It's been a while

happy birthday ! you start to post at a very young age !

 

[Gravity]

A lot of this team's hopes lie on how high Dach's ceiling is going to be. I'll be honest and admit I've been down on the Suzuki-Dach combo but I'd love nothing more than to eat crow.

 

[BLONG7]

Didn't expect that and can't imagine many did.

Side of crow here for supper here.

Props to Dach, MSL and overall team.

Huge effort after rough results in the 1st period.

In Da Mix boys

 

[EveryDay]

Our 3rd pairing of Savard-Xhekaj is really helping the team right now, Savard is such a great veteran to help our young defenceman, yes he's slow now but damn he's such a professional that you can see why everybody respect him in that locker room.

 

[holy]

Nothing is sexier than Caufield sneaking into spots knowing no one sees what he's about to do.

 

[Gravity]

It's Christmas, not Easter.

It's neither and he ain't Jesus

 

[rickthegoon]

Back to back to back wins against 3 legitimate cup contenders is beyond my craziest dreams 4 weeks ago.
Being this close to a playoffs spot with all the crap that has happened since Laine’s injury in pre season is just crazy.
Now let’s party like its 1999
