PVRing both ... will switch back&forth until one or the other captures my attention. Same here - his preferred style goes against the Als' tendencies (lots of play action, deep balls versus Harris and his quick pass attack). That was a fun period. Vegas is more banged up than Montreal is and it showed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 18 minutes ago, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: I have to say, Mike Hoffman is a genuine offensive threat. At least that signing seems to be working out. The assist was his 400th point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Vegas is hardly the same team without Stone, Pacioretty and Karlson, easy pickings for the mighty Habs tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 What have they done with our 2021-22 Habs? Not that I mind this version ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Wow, that was brilliant positioning on the PP but unfortunately I'm pretty sure it was accidental. ex: 1 in the slot, the pass from out near the blueline misses him but goes to Habs player behind him down by the goal line. However, their positioning on the PP was much better than their norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Nice to see Suzuki producing. I don’t get why they had Taffoli buried on the third line earlier - he was only our leading scorer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Ahh, so close to deja vu from the other game. i.e. Hoffman's shot with rebound right to Gally, only this game it was Evans and he missed. Hoffman shooting low and hard would make a decent set play on a 2 on 1's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 My guess is that they forgot how badly they need Shane Wright during that 1st period. I'm glad that someone reminded them at the intermission, and that they made the necissary adjustments. Tank on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Paquette's penalty, 200 feet from his own net, with Vegas having all the momentum and Montreal's terrible penalty killing, was one of the dumbest plays I've seen this season, and there have been a lot of dumb plays.

Sir_Boagalott Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Thank God the Vegas player skated into the net. I sorta thought the Habs dman tripped him. Another Vegas PP would have certainly ended the game. If the Habs can escape this period down 3-2 they still might have a chance, maybe.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Romanov did a beautiful job of rubbing that guy out. So that’s something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 In fact Romanov is having a dominant period. Probably the best period of hockey I’ve yet seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The good: Lots of Habs came to play: Petry, Suzuki, Toffoli, and Romanov all had strong games. First time I see sustained glimpses that Romy might become more than Emelin 2.0. The Bad: The Montreal Canadiens blow chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
