On s'est battu jusqu'à la fin....CHAPEAU....et merci à SAM de nous avoir gardé dans le match.....on a compris à qui on avait affaire....intimidant....MAIS maintenant nous allons nous ajuster et jouer 60 min....et on sort ARBER......lol.
There is zero chance that St-Louis plays Wifi in tomorrow’s game. There is also zero chance that he’ll ever put him on the wing this season. He has never played him there in the past & the playoffs aren’t the time to start experimenting. Plus where would you put him? The third & fourth lines were probably the top lines all night long! The second line was invisible! Laine sucked & Demidov was invisible! He probably had brown stains in his underwear after the game & he’s not alone! Suzuki played a strong game but the Habs star of the game was Sam Montembault. Were it not for him the score would have been 8-0 after two periods! By the way i think Lane Hutson is clearly out of his element in this series however he’s not alone. Mike Mathison was absolutely terrible all night long yet St-Louis keeps playing him 25+ minutes a game!Some propose playing ARBER as a forward, not a crazy idea.
First NHL playoffs game ever, I think he wasnt alone to feel a bit lost. But of all the green horns on the habs team, I think he’s the one that is more likely to bounce back strong. I expect him to make a few Caps players look like orange cones tomorrow, Washington are not known for their speed.By the way i think Lane Hutson is clearly out of his element in this series however he’s not alone.
As Gaby mentionned, 2 assists for him, cant wait to see him in his element!By the way i think Lane Hutson is clearly out of his element in this series however he’s not alone.
Playoff are all about goaltending. Roy did the same game after game and players in front of him gained so much confidence. Same for Bennington and tons of goalies in playoff. He doesn’t have choice to deliver and I find him pretty good at it.Were it not for him the score would have been 8-0 after two periods!
STRUBLE....again tonight...and why not???....lolll....devra bien ajuster ses épaulettes....big game in front.....GO HABS....enjoy.
On a besoin du Shérif dans cette série, c’est évident! Saint-Louis trop orgueilleux, il me tombe sur les nerfs avec son ostie d’entêtement. Moi je le ferais jouer à tous les matchs des séries, c’est trop facile de jouer dur contre nos petits joueurs quand ils n’ont pas de protection.
Laine sur le banc enfin (possiblement blessé)... c'est pas un joueur de série du tout.
Struble, Matheson et Hutson ont zéro mises en échec ce soir, ils se sont fait étamper toute la soirée (peut-être pas Hutson).Les kids se font bousculé solide. Autant que c'est une bonne leçon d'humilité... ya personne pour répondre à l'appel. Pis Strubble... j'ai pas de trouble de le sortir et mettre Xhekaj dans le mix
il est très malchanceux, il me semble que ça fait plusieurs buts qui sont des rondelles qui dévient sur ses coéquipiers.Monty a été solide à part pour le but de merde.
Tonight they were off the blocks at the starting gun, but the second period was a bit slack. That lucky goal was a big downer but Monty didnt let it ruin his focus, he goaled a heck of a game tonight.But the Habs don’t deserve to win if they can’t play for 60 minutes. Having great third periods just doesn’t cut it!
You can’t rebuild a second line during playoff…Once again the 2nd line was terrible & a big reason for this is Laine. Newhook also can’t win a faceoff.
Another great third period! Incredible goaltending on both sides! Laine finally benched! Good since he’s been hurting his team more than anything out there! But in the next game if they decide not to dress him who do you have to replace him? Pezzeta? No way! Kapanen? Maybe. He can’t play worse. That’s the biggest problem with the habs: massive lack of depth.
Xejak should be in the lineup. His presence alone would be a great asset. Way too many liberties are being taken with the team’s smaller players! And what does Struble bring that Xejak wouldn’t bring? Nothing! First line played well & can’t complain with the 3rd & 4th lines. Actually the 3rd line was their nest line tonight. Once again the 2nd line was terrible & a big reason for this is Laine. Newhook also can’t win a faceoff. He’s good if he’s not relied upon to take the faceoff but that’s a major problem. Maybe they should let any other player on hos line take the faceoffs. What do they have to lose? He doesn’t win them anyway!
Monty & Thompson had great games. But the Habs don’t deserve to win if they can’t play for 60 minutes. Having great third periods just doesn’t cut it!
