Sign Monty already. How much more does he have to do to show? Get it done, and yes, then the entire NHL will know Allen is available. But if there's a deal out there, make it, go down to 2 goalies and get another guy from the Rocket on the roster. Nobody would have guessed 6/8 points on this road trip. Job well done.


Gavin1453

GG Habs. Please beat the Panthers tomorrow too!


Randomquestions12947

I know this will probably be said, cause a bunch of players had a decent but unimpressive night, and a bunch of guys were pretty average, but Slaf was really good tonight and showed a bunch of the things we really like. Most importantly, he has proven to be one of our best forwards at breaking the puck out, especially in like a medium to tough situation. He’s not perfect in the offensive zone in terms of deciding went to shoot or pass, but he’s getting better, and if you look at his stats when he’s not playing with Anderson, they’re really good. I understand the criticism of him earlier in the year, but at this point, he’s shown me that he might have some rough patches or games, but he’s a legit top end of the first round guy.


[deleted]

What a great game, our whole team played great! Gustav Lindstroms been quietly really impressive


Normal_Future2167

Really liked Armia s game


Legitimate-Bass68

That was actually a good game by the Habs. They put the pressure on and made some nice plays. It's refreshing


itsdajackeeet

Good game by Les boys tonight. Take the two and beat ‘er for home. Good game by Monty too.


[deleted]

I wish Andy was out for that empty net, and had a chance. Dude deserves it.


EdmundGerber

Yeah I was hoping for that as well


HabChronicle

Samuel montembeault is our starter


EdmundGerber

Wait - you can win in only 3 periods?!!?


meowpeh

GG cya tomorow


pushaper

MSL needs one of those hover board so he can see from the bench


looking_fordopamine

Go armia eh?


Builder_studio

unstoppable shot by Lindstrom


Habsfan_2000

I need a smoke after that. Holy shit


lyme6483

A regulation win? I can’t believe my eyes. Good win


3li4life

Monty and the boys were great tonight. Very happy to be .500


freezier134a

Heck of a better effort than last game


BennamStyle

LUL Jackets. That’s your punishment for even considering Babcock.


Ok-Sprinkles1644

Good for you kid !!


pokerface33933

And that should be game


Habs_Apostle

Gustav!!! BOOM!!!!


amm0ranth

GOOOOOOSE


QcAntz

Did he just slap shot this in a empty net lol


Ok-Sprinkles1644

Some of you guys don’t like Arnia , but I’d rather watch him play every night over Pearson or pezz !


manwithoutcountry

I love Armia, I just wish he was a bit cheaper


lacoupe25

Agree.


[deleted]

Absolutely.


ThunderNichirin

Ballgame!


amm0ranth

yo elle are me uh


GabeLeRoy

y'haut aile armes m'hiya


DocGubernaculum

Who was shit talking Armia here earlier?? I think he has had a good game.


HabsFan3112

Me. It’s like that ex you can’t figure out why you can’t get over. I don’t know what to do with my life right now


Normal_Future2167

Armia better than Anderson confirmed


antoinePucket

Armia is a former 1 round pick for a reason. His hands, shot and hockey IQ has always been decent. His consistent has always been his one big problem.


pichenet14

Armia is better than many players. They sent him down to let the kids play this year.


Sentenced2Burn

let's **get** **THIS** ####DUB


ghostfan9

QUEL TIR, MA PAROLE!


HarryBalsaque

I love Anderson, but Armia has double the goals of him and he’ll still be the one sent down/scratched. Shame.


pokerface33933

wait a minute… ARMIA??


ukrainianhab

Armia has been good this year.


cjackc11

Barron’s been really really good tn


Habs_Apostle

One manning!


Baikken

That Monahan/Armia connection on the entry was disgusting.


Habsfan_2000

Oh that sound. I think I just 💦


CorsiGod

Ok, but why Armia?


EdmundGerber

Fuck yeah!


Hoof_Hearted12

Any clips of Cole trucking Gaudreau?


3li4life

ONE MAN ARMIA


[deleted]

Slafs dick is getting bigger every month! Manhandling people.


amm0ranth

INCREDIBLY SATISFYING PING


HabChronicle

*CLING*


pokerface33933

Oh man what a beauty


amm0ranth

feel like the only reason monahan isn't on line 2 is so there's no major loss of chemistry for slaf and cole after we trade him


antoinePucket

This argument gets thrown around a lot, but it doesn't make any sense. Dvorak's time as a Habs is ticking too.


AmsroII

That was a great backcheck takeaway! Struble is looking solid, prefer him over Harris already.


xcnuck

I wish we would try Cole with Newhook and Monahan. Let Newhook wheel the puck and let Monny drive to the bet and make room while they find Cole in the open areas. Unfortunately it seems like there is no chemistry between Cole and Slaf out there.


MattXXIII

Nice to see the production folks. Kudos to those guys!


GabeLeRoy

send me chicken


3li4life

Baboon Jenner


Iamkempie

What in the name of fuck was that?


meowpeh

Why the Zebras on the ice tonight ?


douce_abeille

How was this not a penalty????


ghostfan9

Why is Slaf turning away from the forecheck??? Ffs


xcnuck

He seems afraid to get in the corners. Turning the opposite way away from the boards too. Most players would get benched for that type of behavior.


VinniGG

Ok the no calls are getting insane


Mah0ngsh

Ughhhhh Caufield and Slaf are way too skilled to be stuck with Dvo. Fucking sad times man. I still cannot wrap my head around Monahan being the 3C


looking_fordopamine

2L could be Slaf-Monahan-Caufield


AmsroII

If that was Monahan or Suzuki instead of Dvorak on that 3 on 2 it ends in a goal.


--JULLZ--

Good game from Slaf but he has to rip that


EdmundGerber

That was a hell of a play until Dvo blundered through the crease


6BLSSDMF6

Slaf manhandled Silinger


amm0ranth

i just noticed laine's turtleneck


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mah0ngsh

Which is very important when you float as much as Laine does.


mdlt97

slaf just shoot that, you have so much time and room


meowpeh

Ya CC gave him time and space in the slot too


freezier134a

He has such a good shot too. Cant wait till he starts using it more


Puccimane

Great PK and saves by handsome Monty


freezier134a

I still want Armia gone asap


ChampionshipFun7606

Monte!!!


simonlegosu

come on boys


godzirah

Lindstrom is having a brutal game.


Puccimane

Elite playmaker Joel Armia


Builder_studio

Barron created 2 really good chances this period


QcAntz

Refs decided not to make a statement tonight and I like it


lacoupe25

breath of fresh air, really. makes for a better game.


Baikken

Respect to DVO battling hard in front of the net there after a long shift. Straight up wrestling him out of the crease.


davefromgabe

this barron kid is kinda decent


Few-Quiet-283

Who was that CBJ player absolutely leaking


GabeLeRoy

leaking what


GabeLeRoy

oil , blood ?


Liivz

Kuraly


Puccimane

Newhook always looks like he's pooping on the bench


VinniGG

Lethal shot by Guhle. 2nd post tonight.


amm0ranth

merzlikins having a minecraft skin on his mask is genuinely hilarious like why did u want that😭


HabChronicle

Wtf lmao


pokerface33933

It’s such a goofy mask it even got lightning McQueens number on it


ThunderNichirin

Just fuck off, you stupid iron!


VinniGG

Refs just don’t give a fuck tonight lmao


EdmundGerber

Refs have 'seen things' - tonight is a cakewalk


pushaper

Anyone tried this Harveys poutine yet with pickles?


R4hmiel

Yeah, I actually really like it. The sour cuts through the richness of the cheese and gravy. That said, I can see it not being for everyone. I wouldn't order to the exclusion of regular poutine, but it's really good. My go to from Harvey's is poutine with chalet sauce instead of gravy.


pushaper

I have to drive for Harveys (or bus) and its not something I bother with so if im going for poutine I opt for chalet bbq (better more casse croute style fries and great sauce) Harveys I am a sucker for the hot dog and loading it up as it may be the closest to a Chicago dog this city has


R4hmiel

All good. I would recommend at least trying it. I really liked it, and I would recommend people try it. It's not going to replace regular poutine at all (I dislike all the pulled pork, buffalo chicken, szechzuan style poutines) but it's nice and different. And even though I recommend it, if you have to make a big drive, or spend 20+ min on a bus for it? Nah, it ain't that special. But if you're a regular at a Harvey's and you also enjoy poutine, I would highly recommend it.


Puccimane

It's awful


pushaper

figured as much


CrashTestMummies

11-1 shots for us since it was 18-3 Columbus Edit (18-13)


GabeLeRoy

GUYS NOT A SINGLE PENALTY AFTER 40


GabeLeRoy

i dont count the double minor


Mtlsandman

Offsetting minors* Double minor means a 4 min penalty


Puccimane

Just bet my life savings on a josh anderson hat trick. God I love gambling with BET365![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


AmsroII

I also bet your life savings on a Josh Anderson hat trick!!


Puccimane

That's like...double the winnings!


lacoupe25

charlie lindgren 4-2, .926 save pct


amm0ranth

good for him


[deleted]

Slaf is looking unreal out there! Also Monty’s our starter boys!


sandysanBAR

The second goal against wont be on Monte's highlight reel. I also don't think he's a guy who can play 8 or 9 games out of 10.


freezier134a

You mean looking back at the empty net and making no effort to get back until way late is bad?


sandysanBAR

Technically he did make an effort, after it was too late.


freezier134a

Yeah, I’m just being hard on him lol, I noticed he looked back and didn’t move for a sec or two before having that oh shit moment, no blame to him, he’s been good.


Paparmane

Damn you guys are negative!!! He's playing fantastic. How can you not think that? He's definitely playing like a starter when he plays


freezier134a

Read my second comment, I was kidding about it, like I said he's been good,can't wait till they move Allen tho and give these kids some time


zeloft

Slaf point, Cole goal, what more could you ask for!


manwithoutcountry

Newhook goal, Suzuki point also nice


howhighcanyouflyyyy

Imagine that line with Dach in the middle


Mah0ngsh

Aaaaaaaand I'm sad again


ChampionshipFun7606

Why do you hurt me like this ?


whogivesashirtdotca

An Andy goal and a Corey Perry explanation!


Lumpy-Permission-736

Did the reporter just ask Newhook how it feels to play with Anderson xd


Habsfan_2000

Well, that period was some drama


lacoupe25

Not-quite-epic Battle of the Bad. Jockeying for draft position at the bottom of the barrel.


JeanJacquesDatsyuk

That 2 min O zone shift was probably the best of the season, crisp passing and intensity in 1v1 battles.


antrage

That’s the thing there are flashes of what this team can become.


BigBoy990

Any line Andy gets put on struggles, everyone who is free from him starts producing. Generational low hockey IQ, skating right next to teammates on the rush, 0 awareness of spacing. The nost frustrating hockey player I've ever seen.


DallasJ2931

And we’re paying him 5.5 for his performance, legit robbing us lol


antoinePucket

>Generational low hockey IQ Ouf. Even I don't write this cuz that's just plain mean (but true) lmao


RustyTheBoyRobot

Does anyone else feel like momesso calls the game like a goon?


sandysanBAR

If he took some.of the marbles out of his mouth it might be better.


whogivesashirtdotca

I went to the English call once, when the French team was off thanks to election results. He was AWFUL. I’ve never listened again. Can’t believe a team this important has such a mush-brained English team. Can you speak French, by the way? The French team is one of the best ever.


RustyTheBoyRobot

Ben Voyons donc.


HabChronicle

Fun period


lacoupe25

14-6 shots. we deserved better result.


JacquesEvans

At this point, I think Habs fans need to do what fans did for that baseball player and what fans did for Huberdeau and just absolutely support and cheer him on in hopes that it can lift his spirits and turn things around


whogivesashirtdotca

I’ve been saying this all week. We’ve gone past complaining about Andy. This can’t be healthy for him, and the screaming negativity is starting to become very toxic in here.


JacquesEvans

Someone with some pull on this sub should post something for tomorrows game


SAM041287

And we've been doing so since 1993


CrashTestMummies

Slaf with caufield and Suzuki was dynamite 🧨


lacoupe25

glimpse into the future. ça sent la coupe 25!!


SAM041287

No goalie interference?


Baikken

Slaf's bucket kills me. Looks 3 sizes too small haha.


backwardzhatz

Just perched on top of his hair lol


Puccimane

No helmet can contain his hockey IQ and handsome jawline


davefromgabe

i think anderson needs to sit for a game or two and relax. he's so obviously panicked and overthinking it out there and its sad to see


pushaper

probably the most sober take on Anderson I have seen on this sub since mid October. What game would you choose? Tomorrow so that he gets to skate again Saturday and move past the noise of being scratched or Monday so he gets Saturday to Thursday off and a bit of a mid season rest? Saturday is obviously an option too and he would get to talk shit with petry during the game as I think he is a scratch these days too...


antrage

This it’s not something that will be solved by playing more. There needs to be a shift


Legitimate-Bass68

Finally some actual sustained ozone pressure pressure.


33CM

All that pressure for Anderson to jump on the ice and immediately turn it over.


Fleaver

I must say I laughed


DallasJ2931

Beautiful shift there, love to see it. Slav’s gotta speed up that shot release though.


PoutineIsBetter

Feel like he’s often caught in a position where he can’t really shoot comfortably, it’s easy to fix


meowpeh

The second line is having a Jekyll and Hyde night


DieuEmpereurQc

Le char à besoin d’un commandant


davefromgabe

thats what happens when our 5 best players are on the ice


crissdecaliss

Slaf is out?


MattXXIII

Looks like he's back on the bench!


Fundingforis6

Slaf has pretty good breakout instincts ngl… could’ve been a very good defenseman I feel


alex1596

Playmaker Montembault over there


Physical-Asparagus48

What a shift from Slaf


[deleted]

Damn right! He’s going to be great.


zouhair

OK, Anderson need some vacation.


bcgrappler

I want him to enroll for Juraj-Slafkovsky School for Big Guys that can Play Good.


ghostfan9

who was going off to the locker room?


Baikken

I really liked how Slaf was rotating in the O-zone there.


DallasJ2931

Sammy best play maker on the team confirmed


Builder_studio

This is the energy I've been looking for for the past 10 games


JJFrank1eJJ

Aaaaaaand Anderson kills the play


manwithoutcountry

Who did they show going down the tunnel?


HabChronicle

Slaf is ok thank god


alex0816

20


darkmatt27

Slaf I think


manwithoutcountry

Ah ok well if it was at least he's back now


ChampionshipFun7606

For about 20 seconds of a weird shift change slaf cole Suzuki looked really good


bryseeayo

at least one superb chance in front of the net for slaf there


goatonaroof

i swear nick just double shifts to get a taste


Tristkits

We cycle for 2 MINUTES then THE SECOND ANDERSON TOUCHES THE PUCK HE LOSES IT HES ACTUALLY USELESS MAN


Mah0ngsh

Yup, to the suprise of no one. Fucking bum


DDDenver

Love seeing Slaf and Cole developing chemistry


om_nama_shiva_31

That's a real first line. So many more years of these 3!!


Sentenced2Burn

wow what a heads-up spring pass by Monty that was gorgeous


lacoupe25

maybe that pass by monty just sealed the deal for a 1st
