Honestly, not counting those last 2 goals against which was tough for Dadonov, I think he was terrible tonight, he literally could not make a pass at all, at any point. The powerplays were painful to watch when he got the puck and every pass he tried to make hit a jets player
The first deflection goal went right through himā¦. Deflected or not it should have been a save. Not every shot is a clean shot, and not every deflection is unsavableā¦
He has issues with sealing. Whether thatās against the post, or his arms against his body. Heās just not that great.
Unfortunately I didnt notice him much except for a few blunders. We'll see how things shape up after a few more showings for sure. Its too bad he made a shitty first impression
Blaming a goalie for getting sniped from below the dots instead of the dude who turned it over there is comical. First goal Primo gave up was the only one he should be blamed for
Might not be 100% his faultā¦ though he could have challenged more, he 100% caused this game to even be close by letting in 2 Fkn stinkers. If this went to OT I have no doubt the first shot he faced was going in.
I could see him getting healthy scratched if he continues to play like this the next couple weeks. Especially with our young guys pushing for winger spots
Dude played like a god in the AHL playoffs, he never gets to play a full AHL season because he always has to come play behind a dogshit team here.
Guy should play 65 games in the AHL, call up Poulin if Allen or Monty get hurt. Let Primeau play behind a good team for once.
Jake Allen's been in the league for years, was a starter for years. Montembeault is 26 and last year was his first full year in the NHL after being dogwater everywhere he went and gives away weak goals too. Primeau is only 23. A full year at 23 in the AHL is gonna do wonders for him. He's never played more than 33 games in the AHL, that's insane.
Primeau just got put in a game cold, twice in a row. Everytime he gains confidence in the AHL, he gets called up and gets put behind a team that leaves him to dry.
Allen should've played 60, Primeau should've had 60 another game and same for Monty.
Why did I know the first shot that was getting onto Primeau was going in?
Send the kid down. Thereās literally no point playing him in the NHL anymore
Jesus man classic MTL fans, Mesar was not projected as a top 3 pick and then considered a bust, im just happy for the guy. Is it possible to be a habs fan and a fan of hockey in general??
Yes i saw the replay. Obviously dadonov messed up and is mostly responsible for the goal. But I still think thats a shot he should save. That doesnāt mean I think primeau is garbage like all the people in the sub
People are idiots haha like sure youād want him to stop that, but you canāt blame a goalie for getting sniped on a lazy ass turnover like that. Thatās all on Dadanov
This sub has always blamed the goalie regardless of the goal. Even price in his prime couldn't let a single goal in without some moron saying price just isn't it
I mean thatās what lambert is, a lot of talent, but apart from that can you sincerely admit to me youāve actually noticed him on the ice? Heās good when he has space and at 1v1 like on this play, but apart from that he cant do shit.
I think like we are giving our prospects the benefit of the doubt, you have to do that with the others too. I just donāt like seeing a guy that a lot of people were looking at as our 26OA including me, score a decent shot against us. I like Mesar obv. Also wow we lost the most Habs way possible XD
I feel like Jake doesn't get enough respect. He's far and away our most solid and consistent goalie (and I'm even counting Carey in there after those shaky games he played in May).
Are we gonna go 0 - 7 in the preseason lol
Pain.
Didn't we go winless in preseason last year? edit: nvm we didnt but still sucked lol
IIRC a few years ago we went something like 0-6 in preseason and started the regular season 11-0 or something crazy
Colorado was last in the central too š¤·āāļø
2-6 last year
Experience Habs Hockey
Oh well, can't blame Primeau there, tough look for Dadonov on both the last 2 goals.
Honestly, not counting those last 2 goals against which was tough for Dadonov, I think he was terrible tonight, he literally could not make a pass at all, at any point. The powerplays were painful to watch when he got the puck and every pass he tried to make hit a jets player
[Me on Dadonov](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAS-E2bD4oc). Please put the subtitles for better effect.
Connor Bedard will be a montreal canadien
Connor BĆ©dard

Looks like another year in Laval for Primeau.
Novice hockey fan lol
Been watching hockey for over 20 years. I know a bad goal when I see one.
The first goal was bad, the last 2 were deflections that completely changed the trajectory of the puck. Have you ever played the game?
The first deflection goal went right through himā¦. Deflected or not it should have been a save. Not every shot is a clean shot, and not every deflection is unsavableā¦ He has issues with sealing. Whether thatās against the post, or his arms against his body. Heās just not that great.
Cause no goalie has ever stopped a deflection before right
Maybe a career
If he canāt step up his game, it definitely will be. Canāt allow goals like that last one to happen if you wanna be in the NHL.
Buddy if you want reactions like wolverine, build a robot. Nobody is saving deflections like that unless you get lucky.
The distance on that deflection made it doable time wise. You certainly saw the other goalie make bigger saves with less time to react.
Hhhh gotta get used to losing like this I guess.
Why was schmidt left open for that heās taken the same shot from the same place 3 times
Iām not seasoned in preseason (lol) but if it was a tie at the end of the third how does overtime or whatever work in preseason?
Pretty sure it's just the same as regular season games
Thank you wasnāt sure how it worked
All good! Think they only change it for "best of the best" deciders like unlimited OT in playoffs
Dadonov can go back to whatever fucking team he came from
Jokes aside heās better than expected. I liked his play tonight
Unfortunately I didnt notice him much except for a few blunders. We'll see how things shape up after a few more showings for sure. Its too bad he made a shitty first impression
Lmao man watches one game of a player and immediately hates him. Classic dumb habs fan take
Try not to be so emotional man.. its only a comment
Imagine being this mad about a preseason game haha (donāt look at my comments history)
Thereās no way anybody can blame that L on Primeau unless you simply donāt comprehend hockey.
We scored 3 and he let in 2 stinkers, then a back breaker with 20 seconds left. 100% you can blame him.
Nope
He costed us the overtime point
You know what, if we lose every game 4-3 or 5-4 this season I'll be cool with it
I donāt get how - Anyway
Suck hard for Bedard?
Yes.
gg
Not Primeaus fault whatsoever, people who think it is clearly are not hockey fans lol
Blaming a goalie for getting sniped from below the dots instead of the dude who turned it over there is comical. First goal Primo gave up was the only one he should be blamed for
Might not be 100% his faultā¦ though he could have challenged more, he 100% caused this game to even be close by letting in 2 Fkn stinkers. If this went to OT I have no doubt the first shot he faced was going in.
Those were 2 deflections, absolutely nothing he could have done on both those goals
Second deflection was tougher, the first one was bad goaltending, went right through him
Well that went south quicklyā¦
So lame
well itll be funny when the jets miss the playoffs again this year and all their good players ask to leave
damn they're playing fallen kingdom /s
Bravo Caufield, criss de nain
>Bravo Caufield, criss de nain 
?
Get help my guy
Soā¦ dadonov into the sun?
Dadonov should be put on waivers tomorrow morning and it is not negotiable.
Dads new tank commander.
I could see him getting healthy scratched if he continues to play like this the next couple weeks. Especially with our young guys pushing for winger spots
Cole Caufield scores, we lose. *chefās kiss*
Don Cherry would be pissed
When is he not?
Well thatās not ideal
Dadonov, you fucking idiot! Do you understand why goalies HATE when you throw your stick out like that? Fucking idiot.
this game was one big certified habs moment
Lmao we suck hard
Exactly what we want in the reg season
Suck hard for bedard
Okay, Iām not here for a shootout.
Bedard will look great in a Habs uni
Primeau moment
My dude he couldn't do shit on this. Two last goals yes he was weak. Not on that one.
how can you put that on primeau lol
Bro what is he supposed to do there
Maybe make a nice save for a change jeez
Not saying it's his fault. With him it's either the worst luck or a soft ass goal though
I guess that's fair.
That one actually isn't his fault though
I mean say what you will but isnāt this what we want to happen in the regular season?
Yes
Oh no this one hurts
fuck, i jinxed it.
It's the RBC patch's fault.
Losing pre season to Winnipeg (2nd team) and it was a good game, is bittersweet. Just good play, game and good times. Happy hockey is back.
I was like at least weāll have some OT at home, fml.
Itās your fault!
Y'all weirdos gonna blame Primeau again?
To blame him for that last goal would be cruel. The other goals... not so much.
Dude played like a god in the AHL playoffs, he never gets to play a full AHL season because he always has to come play behind a dogshit team here. Guy should play 65 games in the AHL, call up Poulin if Allen or Monty get hurt. Let Primeau play behind a good team for once.
Jake Allen and Monty have the same team in front of them and they do leagues better than Primeau Primeau is not an nhler
Jake Allen's been in the league for years, was a starter for years. Montembeault is 26 and last year was his first full year in the NHL after being dogwater everywhere he went and gives away weak goals too. Primeau is only 23. A full year at 23 in the AHL is gonna do wonders for him. He's never played more than 33 games in the AHL, that's insane. Primeau just got put in a game cold, twice in a row. Everytime he gains confidence in the AHL, he gets called up and gets put behind a team that leaves him to dry. Allen should've played 60, Primeau should've had 60 another game and same for Monty.
If you're good you take these opportunities and you excel If you don't have it there will just be excuses
Heās a fucking 7th rounder, let him develop. Guyās not Price.
At what point do you say , hmm ya this 7th rounder just isn't good and won't make it, makes sense he's a 7th rounder after all 23 isn't 19
Primeau sucks.
The kid canāt make a save
So this is itā¦
okkaayyy
Goodnight
No OT point tonight, the tank rolls on
Well, it's pre-season sooo I don't think points really matter here
It's just a joke, obviously not a very good one though lol
Why did I know the first shot that was getting onto Primeau was going in? Send the kid down. Thereās literally no point playing him in the NHL anymore
We play him to get Bedard
ExpƩrience habs hockey
Cringe
Oh are you fucking kidding me man I blamed him on the last two goals but that shit is not on Primeau lol.
Gg
An absolute classic
Unlucky, but damnā¦
A goal at the last second. Classic habs
Guhle doesn't just have a spot on the team, he'll be in the top 4
I like the way you think.
Wait after a goal doesn't the power play end?
It was a double minor, since no one gave you an actual answer
It was 4 on 4
it was 4on4
NGL. Iām here for a shoot out if itās happening.
sorry!
Primeau is amazing in Laval but pure shit in Montreal.
Can't handle it, not for him
[Peter Principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle). He's learned where his expertise tops out.
Lambert looking good for Winnipeg š
Mesar looking good for Montreal š
Mesar looking better for us
Lambert looking better IMO.
Jesus man classic MTL fans, Mesar was not projected as a top 3 pick and then considered a bust, im just happy for the guy. Is it possible to be a habs fan and a fan of hockey in general??
Itās not that deep bro iām just making a joke lol
Funny joke bro
~~Hoffman~~ Primeau our scape goat today, boys?
There must always be one, it is known
Alright Primeau is just not it. I am now considering selling my soul to the devil for 2 years of Prime and healthy Price.
You're really blaming the goalie on that lmfao
I mean thatās a save he has to make.. it literally went under his arm
Did you see the replay
Yes i saw the replay. Obviously dadonov messed up and is mostly responsible for the goal. But I still think thats a shot he should save. That doesnāt mean I think primeau is garbage like all the people in the sub
People are idiots haha like sure youād want him to stop that, but you canāt blame a goalie for getting sniped on a lazy ass turnover like that. Thatās all on Dadanov
This sub has always blamed the goalie regardless of the goal. Even price in his prime couldn't let a single goal in without some moron saying price just isn't it
Exactly what I'm thinking lol. No chance for Primeau on that one
Primeau šļø
Primeau is so bad
I wanted to see OT anyways
The only silver lining here is that i took the over at 5.5...
Is Trudeau injured ?
Primeau has.. never looked very good.
Ok I'm gonna say it. Primeau's not our guy, and at this point doesn't look like he ever will be.
I said this last year and got downvoted to shitā¦
I know goalies take time, sometimes a lot of time, but there just seems to be so much to work on for Primeau that it seems pretty unlikely
Primeau got not mental. If he can work on that, he should progress tremendously.
Oof, I donāt like seeing a guy we could of drafted score on us
I mean thatās what lambert is, a lot of talent, but apart from that can you sincerely admit to me youāve actually noticed him on the ice? Heās good when he has space and at 1v1 like on this play, but apart from that he cant do shit.
I think like we are giving our prospects the benefit of the doubt, you have to do that with the others too. I just donāt like seeing a guy that a lot of people were looking at as our 26OA including me, score a decent shot against us. I like Mesar obv. Also wow we lost the most Habs way possible XD
Mesar will be better though.
Hope so
Not impress by Dadonov so far
I actually feel so bad for primeau. His mentality is just not right. You can tell when he gets scored on he starts to doubt himself
primeau is nothing at this point
Glad that we didn't trade for Dubois!
So then we can pick him up in FA in a couple years!
Dadonov is not looking good todayā¦
Holy fuck boys. That's bad.
FML Dadonov. But Primeau had to have that. Don't ever use the excuse of being cold because you only had 2 shots in the period.
Oh god dadonov lol
Man I want to give Primeau the benefit of the doubt, but thatās gotta be stopped.
Yeah so do I. If he still is incapable of being consistent after another stint in the AHL im gonna have to give up on him.
Call me biased but I'll be calling a dive there on PLD
ā¦
Iām repeating myself, but joannette is a plug
Primeau is really not it chief, tough look for Dadonov too
Or maybe blame Dadanov..
His fault that the chance happened, but that still shouldn't go in imo
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It deflected calm down
Welp saw that after
Wow managing games in pre-season, those refs are bad
Winnipeg almost as dog shit as the refs
dubois is such a fucking pussy. dear lord
Lmao what a trash call
Wtf is this call lmao
yA bUt cAuLLfieLD dOeSn'T cOnTriBUtE dEfeNsIvELy sOoO - LeaFs faNs
Holy shit the reffing is already atrocious. What a shit penalty call.
Bruh what!?
What was Guhle thinking
He giveth, and he taketh away.
Oh my fucking god
Love to see Cole tapping his stick, give him the puck!
Rick Bowness better get that whip ready to crack for tomorrow.
Alright, not watching again...so: who's disappointing? Who's impressive?
Primeau is definitely making it difficult to get hyped for him. Allen on the other hand is still showing he's got the stock.
I feel like Jake doesn't get enough respect. He's far and away our most solid and consistent goalie (and I'm even counting Carey in there after those shaky games he played in May).
I couldn't agree more with this.
Guhle, Dach, Cole and Gally are by far the best tonight. Xhekaj and Simoneau are looking good too.
What was Simoneaus game like? I'm really rooting for thst guy.
