I’m sorry you got to see such a stink-o game, Helmethead. Just a bad draw - two teams that didn’t seem very interested in each other and the Habs on a truly lacklustre night. 😕
Should’ve paid the 50% premium and gone to todays game instead!!definitely wasn’t gonna go back to back with a team that’s been as lackluster as ours (especially with 3 kids!)
The drive in and out of Elmont Park sucks.

Here’s my take after watching the game in person.
We suck.
Zero sustained pressure at any point during the game.
Slaf reminds me of Tom Hanks in Big. A child in a man’s body. He will get there but he legit looks lost for now.
We are as good as our first line is. If it isn’t producing, we are toast.
Caulfield is a lot shiftier than I thought.
Monty is larger than I thought and kept this game from getting out of reach.
Evans was a lot more involved than you usually get to see on TV. Easily our most involved player in the 1st period.
D wise, Savard and Edmunston were ok. Xhekaj and Harris were not a liability. Barron player better than expected and I think I noticed Wideman twice.

Xhekaj is not a realistic trade piece is he?
Could be like Ottawa trading Chara to the Bruins.
I would not trade him.
The intangibles are legitimate.

On my way to Long Island with my 3 kids for the game.
Hope we get a good one!

Wifi is sometimes dismissed by the advanced stats folks, but I dunno - I see a guy who could end up as a Kevin Bieksa-ish type, an under-the-radar prospect who ends up as a quality #4-5 for a lot of years. He just seems to have the mental resilience and the varied toolkit to be more than (say) the Igor Ulanov 2.0 that I originally cast him as. Interesting that he keeps chugging away while the much more highly-touted Harris has now cratered.
I haven’t missed a game yet this year and I can safely say that the Team has been much better with him in the lineup thank without.
He will end up being a top #4 D within the next two seasons.

Nick Suzuki.
Just wow.
Flabbergasted.
The composure to thread the puck through with 3 seconds left.
To tap DeAngelo’s pads after the goal.
Then the speed of his hands in tight during the shootout.
I’ve said it before.
Sorry Cuccumber, I respect you tremendously but I’ve been watching this team religiously since 1984 and I watched Koivu through his magical run pre injury. Suzuki is the best position player this team has had since Lafleur.

We just looked like a way lessor team tonight.
Gally looked horrible. Especially in the 3rd.
Slaf was engaged and looked quicker than he has so far.
Devils were probably the best team we’ve played so far this year.
-
Good grief burn them jerseys.
They're atrocious!!

Unquestionably our best young FW since Koivu came up - that’s for sure.
Games like this make me glad I’m a hockey fan. Just tremendous entertainment, and the deserving team won.
His most impressive play during the game was in OT.
Watch how he breaks out from behind Allen and how he out-positions Crosby. He made him look silly.
-
Best regular season game I’ve seen in years.
And honestly Nick might be the best (non goalie) player this team has seen since Lafleur.
-
May this game never end please.
Insanity!!

Caufield on pace for 64 goals.
All goal scorers seem streaky and his scoring has to drop off at some point.
But, does 40 goals seem a reasonable guess?
100%

Xhekaj absolutely beat the ever living snot out of Kassian.

They change every 30 seconds of game action. This is a league-wide thing this year for all games.
why on earth would they do that? -
Guys..
I’m 46yrs old.
Been watching the Habs religiously since 85.
Cole might be their greatest natural goal scorer in 38 years.
No joke.

At least they’re battling.
Pleasantly surprised so far.

Don’t underestimate the power of the immigrant gene.

I read that Slaf lost Giroux on the goal. How was his game ?
Honestly, he looked totally lost and towards the end of the game he looked psychologically defeated.
He will eventually end up being ok but IMO he is no where near ready to play in league.

Owen Beck.
Remember that name.
