Part of me thinks this game will be a boring, sloppy mess that is not worth watching…Probably gonna watch it though….

A non-Christian Indigenous belief system and the first commandment (I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me) could be seen as being in conflict.

Don’t want to hijack the thread I was trying to be funny. 
 

I think supporting people, whether you agree with their lifestyle or not is at the very heart of the commandment to love your neighbour as yourself. 

Back to Habs

Only Wideman!

 

I frankly think Harris is our second best Dman - after Matheson of course. 
 

I just hope Harris wasn’t rushed 

Agree

I think Savard has had a heck of a season overall

Agree

Columbus had a big OT win last night so they likely won't be as motivated, should be a win for the Habs unfortunately. 

I fear so as well.

So, hope the Habs fill the net and Montembault gets a shutout.:gohabsgo:

Savard is the ideal partner for Matheson IMO. 
 

Savard does everything very well but is not exceptional at anything either. He reads the play and generally makes the right play  

 

I like him a lot

Both are pretty raw rookie d-men and both look good, so far.

Which will be playing more minutes in 2 or 3 years, not a clue?

Barron has different strengths and challenges than Harris and both of them get in trouble at times. 
 

I am impressed with Barron’s improvement and he looks really great with the puck. Barron is better than Harris here. 
 

Harris is better in his own end and better without the puck IMO. His positioning is great and he reads the play so well. Harris gets physically outmatched by larger forwards at times and he needs to learn other methods of defending when facing the big boys. 
 

I like them both and they would make a decent line

That second Columbus goal was certainly an odd one. 

 

Looks like the top pairing is in for a long night, Matheson-Savard are on pace for over 26 minutes each.

 

Agreed.  I certainly didn't think it should count because from where he shot he didn't have the angle to hit the opposite corner of the net.  It looked like he only got it in due to the net being off.

An interesting thing about Savard that is even better is he is really close friends with Dubois.

I'm not convinced that Harris is their 2nd best dman, but it is undeniable that he accomplished something special.  Out of all Habs rookie dman over the last 35 years Harris is the 4th to score 2 goals in 1 game.  The others were Schneider, Markov, and Subban.

Columbus is terrible in their own end. 
 

Hat trick for RHP 💰

I probably in the minority on Harris but I think he is solid like a rock back there   
 

I wish that Harris would shoot more in the Ozone and he typically shoots the low, off target shot looking for a deflection - that’s not good enough.

I've been saying for a while now that RHP is the real deal and his points aren't a fluke.  Watch him closely, he's constantly doing all the right things at the right time and in the right spots.  That doesn't mean that he's a 1st or 2nd liner, but he is a legit NHLer.  I could see him scoring 18-24 g on the 3rd line.
