Go Habs Go!

- Start date
Le pire c’est que le canadiens est encore en “rodage”…
Premier dans l'Atlantic et 3e dans l'est après onze matchs, ça c'est mon genre de rodage lol.
Pas un gros fan des matchs dans l'ouest à cause de l'horaire, mais se coucher au premier entracte et se réveiller avec une victoire, c'est un bon feeling pareil. J'aurais sûrement sacré devant ma TV avec la remontée de Seattle en troisième, mais bon.....c'est le deux points qui compte!
Je me suis endormi sur le sofa avant la game et je me suis réveillé au premier but. Ha!Ha!
Je crois que l’on a revu du Montemblow… Pas très convaincant.
Heureusement que le “game changer” (Demidov) a encore frappé.
J’adore Stutzle, c’est un joueur électrisant.
Je crois aussi que le crochet de Struble va faire le tour de la ligue. Pour la deuxième fois de suite, on a vu qu’Il a du Tyson dans le bras. Avec Xhekaj et Anderson, plus inquiet pour la saison et surtout les séries. Demidov, Caufield et compagnie pourront jouer tranquille.
Hum…Parlant de séries, Bolduc, un joueur parfaitement moulé pour les séries. Suis pas inquiet non plus. Juste le trio de “vieux” qu’il faudrait réveiller à temps pour les séries.
Batherson, bien des partisans des Sens l’ont cloué au pilori mais personne n’a parlé du sens d’anticipation de Newhook. Combiné avec sa vitesse, ça a fait ciao bye Sens. Probablement un spin-off de son jeu en désavantage numérique.
J’ai regardé son but à quelques reprises. De toute beauté, de la vitesse pure.

I think Newhook should be Mayor of Montreal. He is coming off a disappointing 26 point season and is eager to show it's not who he is. So far, he is a much better .75 point per game player.
Regarding Demidov: can we just fast forward to the Calder/Rookie of the Year award and give it to him now? I really see no reason to wait until the end of the season. I mean 12 games, 10 points, his pace is 68 points, but I think he will step it up and what competition does he have really?

Mouaip, il pouvait faire mieux. J'suis d'accord.
Encore une avance perdue, et un point laissé à une équipe de notre division. Mais bon, on peut dire qu'ils ont le sens du spectacle!
Demidov qui prépare le jeu deux fois plutôt qu'une avant de recevoir le puck dans l'enclave et de conclure avec un laser. Une beauté du jeune Ivan à un très bon moment.
Au final, un autre deux points dans la banque, allez hop!
Si Newhook est réellement en train d’éclore, c’est une très bonne nouvelle pour le club. On sait qu’il a de la vitesse en masse, s’il peut être constant dans sa lecture du jeu et son positionnement, il sera un élément important.
Pour les séries, je ne suis pas aussi emballé jusqu’à présent, premièrement, il n’y a pratiquement aucune bagarre en séries. Deuxièmement, le CH se met à cafouiller aussitôt que l’adversaire met de la pression physique sur les défenseurs et les avants profondément dans notre zone. Toutes les remontées se font de cette façon, depuis Washington en séries l’an passé.

I was at the game on Saturday and the atmosphere was INSANE!!!! Never experienced anything quite like that at a sporting event. I am from Vancouver and the only game I have ever experienced like that in that market was game 6 of the 1994 finals. I am now spoiled for life.
As for the team, it is clear all the young players projected talent is coming to fruition. Suzuki and Caufield are on the cusp of becoming bonafide superstars and Hutson, Schlavkovsky and Demidov are well on their way. The only real dog on the team so far this year is Dobson. Been terrible in his own end and made minimal offensive impact. He might come around but early returns have not been good.
As for goaltending, I like Dobes over Montembeault. Better skill set, better reflexes. Still, they make a great tandem and should be utilized as such.
They seem to be able to score their way out of trouble but they give up a lot of fast break and off man chances. They also start and finish strong but have lulls mid game. They can get away with that with lesser teams but the top teams will make them pay.
Overall, I think they are a strong team and well on their way to being contenders, if they can maintain their current course and cleaning up their deficiencies.

He was a 70 point defenseman just 2 years ago with NYI (their first one since Denis Potvin in 1984), but his early production has indeed been far below that. Perhaps it is the adjustment to playing a new system with new pairings on a new team. At age 25, you would think his best days are still ahead of him.
At least he has a hot American wife, who is a sports reporter from Rhode Island.
Thats the key for the Habs, not stubbornly bet on Monty as the definite #1.
Absolutely and thats why I still see them fighting until the last games to make the playoffs.
Thats what Marty Saint-Louis says, still in adjustment mode, I hope he’s right. And besides the last game, him and Matheson were playing very strong minutes defensively.
I don’t worry. He very probably won’t have stellar numbers like he did in the past just because he’s not on PP1.
Can’t break the actual combination.
Unfortunately it looks like Newhook skated into a trap and then had the puck poked away by Timo Meier, who had roofed Dobes for the tying goal on a play in which it looked like Meier saw the puck before Dobes did:
This was a tough loss, especially to lose on these kinds of goals.
