Go Habs Go!
- Thread starter talkinghead
- Start date
When we got Matheson from Pittsburgh for Jeff Petry, who wanted to leave, i didn't even know him. I certainly didn't expect the guy to have such an important role 4 years later.
Local guy, workhorse, just signed below market to stay here, plus seems like a good teammate and mentor. Another good trade by Hugues.
Seriously I don’t think Hugues was expecting that much of a package when he did the trade. For sure he knew how talented Matheson could be but, at that level? With his capacity to burn +25 minutes every single game? I don’t think Hugues ever dream of this, and now, at $6M a year, its the icing on the cake!
Matheson is showing everybody what a local player, who is willing to be playing at home, can bring to the table when the stars align! The guy must be one of NHL’s top firness freak!
Matheson was a 1st round draft pick back in 2012 and has been a solid player in the NHL for a long time (11 years). You expect defensemen to age well and get better and he has. I personally think 26:48 ice time last night- team high by a lot- is too much. You have to be careful not to wear his ass down.
Planter Boston 6 à 2 un 23 décembre? Oh que oui!
Joyeux Noel à tous!
Joyeux Noel à tous!
C’était un beau cadeau de noel d’entendre le « Olé! Olé! Olé! Olé! » dans le Garden.
Je me souviens l’année passée a la fin d’une dégelée. Quelques partisans des Bruins chantaient le refrain de façon sarcastique.
Quelle humiliation bien méritée.
Did you mean the Boston Goons ?
That's what they looked like. Same as in the 1970s. Except for Bobby Orr that I saw play in the old Forum.
If you let him cross his own blue line with the puck, you couldn't stop him.
Phil Esposito was an animal! Not the biggest player but strong as a horse. Extremely skilled for his time, in the 1970-71 season he scored 76 goals and added 76 assists in a 78 game season!

I expect Lane's thoughts will be with his brother!
Team USA's Hutson struck by puck, out of hospital
Cole Hutson was briefly hospitalized after a puck appeared to strike him near the back of his helmet during Saturday's World Juniors game against Switzerland.
Cette fois, il a été très bon. Un peu fait la grimace après le deuxième mais bon…il y a eu plusieurs buts semblables dans la ligue cette année.
Une fin de match comme on a vu souvent cet automne.
Caufield encore avec ce maniment de bâton qui fait ouvrir les jambes des gardiens avant de scorer (c’est quasiment sexuel faut croire…)
Un Suzuki clutch comme on a été habitué.
Slaf a été un peu moins dominant mais aussi rapide mais je crois que les coachs des Panthers ont passé le mot pour que les joueurs le marque. Ce qui est normal.
All in all a pretty good game for the Habs.
Fin de match excitante en tout cas! Passer de 0-2 avec 4 minutes à jouer et gagner 3-2 en OT, ça donne un petit sourire.
Esposito was strong but all the work was done by Orr, Cashman and Hodge. Esposito parked his big ass in front of the net and shot !
