Go Habs Go!

But pas facile pour Dobes, Il ne pouvait pas jouer agressif, Ovechkin était en embuscade à sa gauche.
C’est dommage, effort incroyable de nos jeunes mais tu ne peux pas battre les arbitres, on aurait mérité bien mieux.
The tie breaking goal was very disappointing. I was thinking Montreal might tie this series up but just poor defense on that crushing tie breaking goal. Huge letdown.
When you have to play against the referies you never win.
I was hoping that Montreal would fight back and stop allowing bullies to be bullies, but that hit by Tom Wilson showed me that nobody on Montreal will stand up to him. He had 6 hits for the game and did the punishing that needed to be done. Montreal remains a bullied team. They are not going to win until they stand up to and punch the bully in the face.
I wrote my nepfew that the HABS have too many small players.
Another proof tonight.
I won’t use the poor refreeing as an excuse. That’s not why the habs lost. They were simply beaten by a better team. More skill, more toughness, more size & better goaltending. The habs were also outshot for the entire evening. They had a lead going into the third period yet couldn’t protect that lead. Tom Wilson was the key difference maker tonight & the key play occurred when he destroyed Alex Carrier with that devastating hit which led to the game’s most important goal. Mike Matheson easily played his best game tonight. Lane Hutson may have played his worse game & he’d be the first one to admit it. I really liked Arber Xekaj’s game tonight & although he took a bad penalty that call was a very questionable one. Dobes was okay but not great. Sam Montembault’s presence was greatly missed tonight. He could have been a difference maker. Anyways the habs are still in it & there’s no reason to think that they can’t win next Wednesday’s game in Washington.
At his after game speach, MSL alluded to the bad refereeing.
Dobes had nothing to do with the lost. He stole a goal to Oveshkin at the start of the game and been badlucky on some strange rebounds.
The kids need to adapt. Losing Carrier was hard for them to get around. Also, who removes a goalie when theres 2.5-3 min left and they don't have posession ? JFC
But these series were a huge learning experience. Hutson is getting much quicker out of the corners and evading hits. So much good just not enough.

The refering is worst than ever, the league had to pull out 2 referies in the first games because it was a shame. Now I’m pretty sure they would pull more out but they dont have the resources to do so. So they have to wait for the next round, as it would naturally eliminate 4 of them.
I agree, the right move would have been to unleash the beast with a clear mission: take Wilson out of the game! No matter what the consequences, the team will handle whatever fine that comes with it. But MSL doesnt play that way, he does not understand this.
Quenneville, Keanne, Torts and most of the old fashion coaches would have done it because what we see is old fashion playoffs with old fashion refering!
Sometimes it is difficult to give credit where it is due to the hated opponent. I would be willing to bet that most of the posters here do not know that Tom Wilson had his best season as an NHL player this year. 33 goals and 32 assists for 65 points. He never previously had 30 goals or 30 assists in a season and bested his prior best season by 13 points. He also had an efficient 100 penalty minutes. What this means is he is bullying very effectively and not getting called for as many penalties, as we have seen in this series.
Dure dure dure défaite....tout a vraiment basculé avec la sortie/blessure de CARRIER----gracieuseté de WILSON---......on a surtaxé MATHESON---et CHAPEAU pour un match incroyable....GUHLE et HUTSON.....c'était beaucoup leur demander...on les
a épuisé.....et les punitions évidemment n'ont pas aidé et siphonnées aussi beaucoup d'énergie de nos défenseurs...alors 2 jours de repos bénéfiques....MAIS c'est une équipe bien amochée qui va se présenter à WASH....vs des joueurs qui eux pètent le feu
.....mais on en a vu d'autres......lol.

I agree, it was too soon to my liking. It's the kind of situation where you make one mistake and you're gone, and it happened fast.
I also questioned this decision. I was saying to myself "too soon, too soon" and before I knew it, a goal was scored in the empty net.

I wish the HABS would have a Clark Gillies in his team.
Tom Wilson wouldn't be making the law on ice.
He once broke the two cheek bones of an adversary in a fight with his fist !
And he scored goals too.
If the Habs had Gillies he would do to Tom Wilson exactly what he did to Dave Schultz in the below fight. You guys are too young to remember, but Schultz and the Flyers would try and bully and intimidate the young Mike Bossy, much like Wilson bullies and intimidates the Habs. The bullying of Bossy eventually stopped because the Flyers learned there was this price to pay:
