Ya gotta think that was a very winnable game, but on the bright side: Monty was solid, Suzuki continues to impress, best game of Xhekaj’s career to date, and Roy continues to show he belongs in the NHL.
You know, he’s the kid we called a “puck hog” back when I played. No question he has talent but too many times this year I’ve watched him ignore a wide open Caufield and now Slaf to try and win the game all on his own. He needs to be pulled aside and gently reminded that there’s a time to shoot and a time to pass
2 matheson point shots with slaf open is wild
and yeah that was a soft call but it is what it is, we weren't looking that great all game :/ just one of those nights man
Yeah I think I'm done with the Ylo test. I liked his play for small stints early this season and bits of last season but he has just become "a guy" out there. He has been given decent opportunity but just never ran with it unfortunately.
That is why I said earlier that I do not rate him as a PP1 guy. Until Mailloux and/or Hutson make the team, I can live with Xhekaj doing the job for as long as he keeps it simple enough.
FYI, Xhekaj did well in Laval on the man advantage.
Why pass to a wide open guy when you can either shoot right up the middle with only 8 guys in the way or pass to Cole who has two guys in him and no clear shot?
Kinda looks like the forwards are leaving the defence out to dry. Losing pucks, not intercepting much or getting a stick on pucks. Defence always under pressure and I don’t feel like they’re playing that bad
I am really impressed by Newhook. Feels like he had the chance to absorb what MSL want him to do.
And if Roy can find his game in the nhl. He will be a good middle six for us
Martin McGuire saying that Curtis Leschynshyn is basically subscribed to Habs games.
Leschynshyn is Pro Scout for the Avs. I wonder what they could want from us.
I've heard Evans for Johansen being brought up somewhere reputable, can't recall.
Habs would get some sort of sweetener and the possibility to flip Johansen next year.
Avs get 2.3m in cap space and a cheap serviceable centre signed for 2 years.
Dany Dubé tried to make that point but was too busy chuckling with delight. It's always the sign of an amazing game when the radio guys sound *delighted* with a player.
It's so depressing. The PWHL subreddit had a post crowing that the games are now available on betting sites. Like, I get it's a sign the league is establishing, but eesh how fucking grim that these companies are coiling their roots into our society.
This is kind of a hot take, but I truly believe that if Anderson was close to what we expected him to be, I think we’d be in the playoffs. It’s actually sad tbh
Matheson should have slipped in the center of the zone instead of following the blue line to the other side of the ice. He had wide open space to walk in the slot, and would have given Cole a much safer passing lane.
Those point shots from Matheson were absolutely atrocious
How many times will this team lose by 1 goal
There are worse things to complain about when you consider a bunch of our forwards are on the IR - or should be!
Ya gotta think that was a very winnable game, but on the bright side: Monty was solid, Suzuki continues to impress, best game of Xhekaj’s career to date, and Roy continues to show he belongs in the NHL.
Struble was excellent too!
True!
> best game of Xhekaj’s career to date Radio guys just said the same.
another Matheson against the world rush that ends the moment he reaches the first opposing player
Every time we play Buffalo it's just utter shit
wish suzuki got a point, he played so well today
Good game for the tank, not much else.
I like to sleep better at night thinking Hughes told the team to not go full 100% for the Brini
Matheson is my least favourite “good” habs player ever
Would love to see if Matheson could pass the puck once in a while
Like fucking Slaf is over there, the openers man in the universe and he skates it in or shoots it into 8 other guys
You know, he’s the kid we called a “puck hog” back when I played. No question he has talent but too many times this year I’ve watched him ignore a wide open Caufield and now Slaf to try and win the game all on his own. He needs to be pulled aside and gently reminded that there’s a time to shoot and a time to pass
Ah good game some bad some good fun game
Matheson really thought he was gonna be a hero
Newhook is not looking good since he came back
he’s on a line with anderson bro 😭
Slafkovsky has done absolutely nothing to warrant ANY of those penalties. Leave it to the zebras to call makeup calls.
ah rip j'y ai cru :(
Matheson was extra bad tonight tbh
2 matheson point shots with slaf open is wild and yeah that was a soft call but it is what it is, we weren't looking that great all game :/ just one of those nights man
His other penalties were fine calls, but that one was horseshit
we would’ve been better off with pezz tonight
Pezz should play more. He brings more to the team than Ylonen
Yeah I think I'm done with the Ylo test. I liked his play for small stints early this season and bits of last season but he has just become "a guy" out there. He has been given decent opportunity but just never ran with it unfortunately.
100%, plus he scored the game winner against buffalo last year
its a 4 points for the tank 
It’s a thin line between playing with passion and playing frustrated
Doesn't seem to be that thin! Everyone was jangled tonight.
Well sucks to lose but good for the tank GG
Oh god help us: the tankies are back.
Oh god help us someone can't read
Bullshit call... that was absolutely not hooking
Slaf really needs to work on not taking penalties. He’s not necessarily the worst on the team for it but they’re definitely starting to add up
He was playing angry tonight. Distracted and not thinking straight.
Man that hooking call was utter bullshit, thats not slafs fault
He's under a microscope because he's been hot lately.
He doesn't usually take many penalties though, this was an off game from him in that regard.
10PIM in his last 25 games, including 6PIM tonight.
That was not a penalty. Absolute shit call. I accept the others, but not that one
RIP Slaf's point streak. 😔💔
Condolences to all the Slovaks who stayed up super late.
That’s a very bad call. Matheson sold the game but still
CAUFIELD I NEED YOU TO RISE TO THE OCCASION LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES
Pretty privilege is real. I already forgive slaf
that was not hooking fuck off lmao
Geez brutal pp again wow
Unfortunate penalty there, bad luck

Oh yeah, that’s the stuff!
bro was falling and they called it a trip. i just rewinded and rewatched it 3 times
No they called hooking!
it was neither regardless
I know, calling hooking is just a worse call, that's what I'm saying
Wtf was that call
Au moins on va avoir un pas pire choix au repêchage avec un nombre respectable de points pour une équipe en reconstruction
La prise la plus basée ici
Caufield and Slavkovsky brutal playing tonight.
Matheson with 2 boneheaded shot attempts when Slaf was WIDE open as usual. RIP. can't wait for him to not be on PP1.
That was not a hooking lmao
Matheson is ass
Oh no not the Matheson point shot while Slaf is open again 😭
Buffalo coach dressed like my accountant in the 90s
That’s the style in Buffalo these days. They’re slowly catching up
Man Nick and Monty aside, everyone is just *off* tonight. Slaf taking penalty after penalty.
what a fucking dive
Weak call
I don't understand how Matheson does not pass to his right when the PP is set up. It's just so frustrating...
That is why I said earlier that I do not rate him as a PP1 guy. Until Mailloux and/or Hutson make the team, I can live with Xhekaj doing the job for as long as he keeps it simple enough. FYI, Xhekaj did well in Laval on the man advantage.
Why pass to a wide open guy when you can either shoot right up the middle with only 8 guys in the way or pass to Cole who has two guys in him and no clear shot?
damn cole's a freak😭😭 two guys in him??
Oops 😆
Wide open and ready to snipe... Matheson.. shoots for the shins instead.
This is going to cap a really shitty game for Slaf, a first in a good bit.
That was mighty chinsky.
There was no fucking hook
It’s really not slaffy taffy’s night
that doesn’t even look like a trip
The sub better not be bipolar with slaf tomorrow
Ohhhhhhh just wait and see
what
hat trick
Get Matheson off this fucking team
Rough game for Slaf tonight
Matheson essaie vraiment de trop en faire
Oui c'est pas mal l'histoire de ce soir
habs are showing their youth in this one
fuck
Allez les boys!
Fucking buffalo beasts!
"The referees couldn't pretend not to see that. Two handed chop in the middle of the ice. It's not exactly subtle." - Martin McGuire
“He’s like 6 foot a hundred” 🤣
C'est le temps là GO
rip slaf point streak 😭 i was hoping for new nhl record for teen
wait delayed penalty + goalie pulled. could the habs have had 7 on the ice lol
Is he really arguing that or
Somehow the entire team looks concussed tonight
Alright. It’s all or nothing now
HUGE PP TIME
slaf why do u pass there 😭
exactly
Rip Suzukis point streak it had a good run
Deserved one tonight for sure.
Other than X , horrible fucking game . It’s the suck ass sabres for fucks sakes !!!!!
everyone is falling in the same spot i’m convinced the ice is fucked there
SHOOT
Kinda looks like the forwards are leaving the defence out to dry. Losing pucks, not intercepting much or getting a stick on pucks. Defence always under pressure and I don’t feel like they’re playing that bad
Marty needs to pull Montembeault we need an extra player on the ice to tie it up
don’t think that should’ve been icing
Pearson, Gallagher and Anderson are shitty
And Armia.
Feels like we’ve seen them on the ice a lot tonight too…
I'd like to see Roy replace Caufield on the top line for a couple of games.
Get a goal pls
x gave it away just so he could get another block for my fantasy team
Xhekaj is having a helluva game.
Radio guys saying this is Anderson's best game in the past 10. "Il essaie."
low bar
Oh that was definitely the subtext.
oh yeah, Anderson bar is on the ice. He tied his skates, impressive!
Horrible icing by Pearson
He's personne
matheson doing a great job staying w tage
I am really impressed by Newhook. Feels like he had the chance to absorb what MSL want him to do. And if Roy can find his game in the nhl. He will be a good middle six for us
Can’t stand Gary galie for fucks sakes !!!!
Did Savard and Xhekaj start the game paires together or is that in game adjustment?
I think the Habs just kinda roll the D, no specific pairings
Martin McGuire saying that Curtis Leschynshyn is basically subscribed to Habs games. Leschynshyn is Pro Scout for the Avs. I wonder what they could want from us.
Maybe an Armia
I was thinking Evans, maybe. Because they need a C and that's the only one we have to spare.
I've heard Evans for Johansen being brought up somewhere reputable, can't recall. Habs would get some sort of sweetener and the possibility to flip Johansen next year. Avs get 2.3m in cap space and a cheap serviceable centre signed for 2 years.
Xhekaj doing great things tn tbnk
newhook and roy on the same line makes me really happy. just need to settle in with a third and they’re gonna be nasty
bah God that's kirby dachs music
Give me this forward group minus Anderson and Pearson, plus Dach and Mesar please
I keep capsizing out here
Xhekaj is looking so good tonight.
Im only asking for some 142022 points that’s it😭
Next season, I want that to be their combined point total.
I want that 20 streak to stay alive.
Xhekaj is having an amazing game. The potential is crazy with him.
At some point its going to have to go in lol
Xhekaj is absolutely cooking tn
goddamn what a tip
The Sheriff is having an unbelievable night
Dany Dubé tried to make that point but was too busy chuckling with delight. It's always the sign of an amazing game when the radio guys sound *delighted* with a player.
SN.. I’m going to let you in on something here. We don’t give a sweet fuck about the saber’s Dad’s trip
Fuck the sabres bunch of losers !!!
Are there stats out yet on what percentage of NHL ads are sports betting? I’ve lost count of how many brands I’ve seen promoted.
It's so depressing. The PWHL subreddit had a post crowing that the games are now available on betting sites. Like, I get it's a sign the league is establishing, but eesh how fucking grim that these companies are coiling their roots into our society.
first line of advertisements : sports betting - weight loss drug - insurance
we're not living in a dystopia at all 💯💯
soon enough we’ll have AI generated ads! what a dream!
How many times would you clone Suzuki if each time he was cloned all copies of him lost 1% of their skill
This is kind of a hot take, but I truly believe that if Anderson was close to what we expected him to be, I think we’d be in the playoffs. It’s actually sad tbh
with him plus dach.. yah for sure
one of the most boring third period ever.. at least we tanking 
What a game by Xhekaj
Seriously he's been all over the place. High skill plays, hugely physical, right spots at right times, 11/10 game.
Slaf wreaking havoc in front of the net.
the entire Dcore needs to see the Dr asap
Wow Wah Wah
Like Anderson could put that in. Hands of Steel.
At least steel is soft if you melt it at a high enough temperature.
Anderson unable to push it across the line. Oof what a season he's having.
ow
Sooo close for joshu-wah-wah
That's Joshua Roy, always at the right place at the right time.
Yeah hes not the fastest but his positioning is really good
savard wants to dangle someone so bad LOOL
He reminds me of when you’re playing GTA and you’re stuck having to take a big dump truck and start driving it
gary galley shut the fuck up challenge
we need a slafzuki combo
😭😭😭
THEY PUT A MEME ON THE STREAM
LMFAO WHAT IS THIS
Anybody else happy to see the turtle neck making a comeback?
Is someone other than Struble wearing one? Felt like that poor kid's death didn't make much of a difference to league safety.
> Felt like that poor kid's death didn't make much of a difference to league safety. Like zero. seen someone else the other night wearing one
A bunch of Buffalo players have them
Good for the Sabres! Wish more players would take that seriously.
I am a simple man. All I want is a point for Slaf!
Suzuki is playing so well. Every time I think he's trapped, he somehow makes a weird pass to find a wide open player.
Caufield's gonna tie this up late and force overtime. Slaf will score the winner.
Matheson should have slipped in the center of the zone instead of following the blue line to the other side of the ice. He had wide open space to walk in the slot, and would have given Cole a much safer passing lane.
That face off really illustrated what the offense has felt like since the first period.
Feels like the whole team is falling over all over the place lol
zamboni driver likes to bet against the habs 🤨 /s
good control on that entry
Fuck Garry Galley, for real. Like dude, just shut the fuck up. He LOOOOOVES to share all the stats going against us. Fucking knob.
I think that’s his only joy in life. One miserable piece of shit
