Sir_Boagalott Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I missed Evans injury because there was like 12 secs left so I walked away thinking nothing would happen. Barron lucked right out with the other ref seeing that the NYI stepped and slipped on the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 What a different period that was. Good defensively responsible hockey. I liked Xhekaj giving Romanov the business in the corner 👍 Can we get a Caufield goal please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 But three centres on PP1? Suzuki, Dach and Dvorak (plus Drouin and Caufield). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was better than the 1st. However, I didnt like the 1 defensive play when 2 NYI crossed the blue with a 3rd trailing and no Habs thought to try to get in the passing lane to prevent a pass to the 3rd guy who had a decent shot on net. 1 minute ago, Prime Minister Koivu said: I didn’t even notice! The 1 faceoff looked ridiculous because Anderson took the draw and for whatever crazy reason Edmundson was on the wing. I didn't notice who the other winger was.

Sir_Boagalott Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I didn't like Harris's penalty at all. Sure, Harris was messing with the NYI player but he was messing with Harris back. Similarly, the same was going on with Savard and whoever he was messing with was equally messing around back too. If the refs were taking anybody on that play then they should have given all 4 penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Tough fought period but we are back on the tank train. Romanov destroyed nobody and he seems like a great guy judging from the short interview. Dach likely back at centre for a while, maybe the rest of the season. Evans looks like he might be a while.

Evans looks like he might be a while. Pezzetta played centre in junior and maybe in a pinch he can cover there tomorrow afternoon. Laval just played back-to-back so if they were to call someone up, it'd be three in three which isn't ideal. Monahan's due back within the next couple of weeks at least.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Winnable game against a team that didn’t look that great outside the first period - the sort of road game good teams win. Monty put in another good performance. Nice to see Suzuki come out of his goal-scoring slump. I’d almost rather they bring back Richard to play 4th-line C than move Dach off the big line, but yes, the latter is probably what will happen.

DON Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Shitty, hope Evans not hurt bad. At least good to see Suzuki score and Drouin had couple actual shots...he better watch out, he may even score if he keeps shooting pucks at nets and had another nice assist. Dach 4 for 6 on faceoffs...babysteps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmethead Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I am glad I missed this game. Hear the goals on the radio. I hate to see Evans hurt, I hope he is not injured too badly. that being said, happy for the expert tanking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bad draw - two teams that didn’t seem very interested in each other and the Habs on a truly lacklustre night. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ylonen looked pretty good in the half a dozen shifts that he played with Suzuki and Caufield so that could be an option as well. I'm sure they want Dach to spend more time at C yet in order to assess what role he will play for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I like how Xhekaj played that 2 on 1, letting Monty focus on just the shooter, instead of being like a Savard and just sprawl on the ice. https://www.habsworld.net/2023/01/islanders-stymie-the-habs-in-2-1-win/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drive in and out of Elmont Park sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
