It feels like we need to get 2 points this afternoon, because going into Dallas 19hrs later for our 3rd game in 4 days is tough.
-
What a ride this game was. I think it's safe to say that this team has enough firepower to come back on most teams most nights if they crank it up when down a couple.
-
This has gone sideways. Dobes not sharp, penalties....and is it just me or is Carrier absolutely terrible yet again? Seems like there is chaos in front of our net every time he's out there.
-
That was quite the emotional rollercoaster. Monty looked really good...until he gave up the obligatory soft Monty goal. Still, any time you only give up two, that's a good start. It was good to see 13 and 14 will the team to a win. If we can get lines 1 and 2 both producing in the same game, I like our chances of upsetting the Canes.
-
So the boys likely need to score at least 4 to have a chance at a point. 🤬
-
Pulled a point out of the abyss tonight. Slaf is looking incredible....our second line is our first line right now, by a fair margin.
-
That was a great win...an early Christmas present!
-
I think the crowd is ready to really turn on these guys if they come out with another crummy effort. Here's hoping they grab the lead early and hold it for a change.
-
The stats card matches the eye test: Carrier was horrid yet again. Hughes really needs to work on a trade for a physical RHD to upgrade on him...a placeholder without too much term to give Reinbacher time to develop.
-
Can't get a solid effort out of this team two games in a row I guess. 10 shots through two periods is inexcusable.
-
This team makes the same mistakes over and over. Can we not get a solid effort two games in a row? Jesus H. Christ this bunch is frustrating to watch.

I can't believe how many times our guys shot high or wide tonight. The weak play in our own zone, sadly, didn't surprise me at all...they play that way more often than not. It was frustrating to watch. It's time for the coaches to have a serious chat with Demidov about shooting the damn puck rather than passing when he's got a grade-A chance to do so.

Rangers lead the NHL in Hits/60, so this is a game where Xhekaj seems to make sense ... but perhaps swap him out for Carrier ... Struble has played some RD and against most 3rd/4th liners it shouldn't be quite as challenging
I'd like to see Carrier scratched too...he's been bad.
-
Fowler looked great. Most of the team played well tonight. One guy I will single out for continuing to suck though, and that's Carrier; I'm getting sick and tired of Marty kissing his ass while kicking Wifi's for no good reason.

The 10-19 Blues won yesterday over the Sens
but still in 28th place and havent scored much this year.
So Monty may not need to stand on his head.
My optimism where Monty is concerned falls well short of 'standing on his head'. It peaks at not letting in more than 3, and not letting in the type of soft goals that deflate the team.
-
An entertaining game for the most part. Some offensive flurries where we deserved a goal and didn't get one had me worried early on, but our top players came through when needed most to get us two points. Dobes played like he's our number one, and should be treated as such until such a time as Monty stops sucking. Watching the game live made it even more painfully clear that Gallagher can't skate at the NHL level anymore, that Anderson isn't nearly physical enough, and that our bottom 6 in general just isn't solid.
-
I'm going to be at this game. I just want to see the team compete hard for 60 minutes, and get at least average goaltending while doing so. Is that too much to ask?

Pull this bum....Jesus H Christ. That cannot go in.
-
Monty almost never bails out the team when they really need a big save to prevent losing momentum this season; it's pretty much a given at this point that he will fail to do so when called upon.

Looks like Markov day is tomorrow
I'm heading to that game with my father tomorrow. I already warned him that we need to wrap up dinner and get to the Bell Center a bit early, because I want to watch the ceremony.

Is Carrier playing poorly every game lately?
You are correct...he's been terrible.
-
Started well, but didn't get rewarded for it. Things went downhill in the second half of that period. Carrier went out of position to cover a man already in check, completely missing Nelson on the Avs' first goal. If not for all the injuries we have, I'd healthy scratch Josh Anderson for a game or two...he looks completely useless out there more often than not this season.
If we can get back on the attack, you have to think the puck will start going in. We were generating a lot of quality chances early in the period.

Does this look like trump tarrif crowd? Im used to seeing way more habs sweaters in vegas.
While there is no shortage of brainwashed 'elbows up' Canadians, I think the inflated prices and reduced perks in Vegas are equally to blame for less tourists being at the game. Vegas has been price gouging on meals, drinks, and just about everything else for awhile now...I know a lot of regulars who have sworn off of returning unless prices return to a reasonable level.

That was a horrid effort.
