huzer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 My son has a hockey tournament in Philly this weekend, and I seriously debated going out a couple of days early to catch the game in person. Anyway, go Habs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habscout Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Another start for Primeau versus Philadelphia. I can't help but think they are showcasing him to generate more interest by the Flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Good shot by Barron, and a great tip by Monahan to get the Habs on the board first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I do like the Habs' shooting percentage in this first period! 😮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Montreal has 2 shots and 2 goals. Gotta love that. Savard got credit for the goal later. Edited January 11 by habscout goal correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Habs with a totally undeserved lead, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Close call on the Flyers scoring chance, had to go to a refs video review. It was not clearly over the line no matter what angle they showed. Refs [finally] made the right call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I can't remember a time when the Habs scored on every official shot on goal in the first period. This may be a team record! Let's see if someone in the media or on Twitter will confirm that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 To say the Habs are fortunate to be up 2-1 would be the understatement of the year. If they don't play better they will lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but think they are showcasing him to generate more interest by the Flyers. I think it's more likely they're just starting him against his hometown team. Ersson signed a two-year extension before the season so he's Hart's backup moving forward. Philly also has Sandstrom in the minors so they're probably not in the market for a goalie.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 8 shots is sad for two periods. Sometimes that means we will have a 20 shot third period. Oh how I wanted Slafkovsky to score on that breakaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right. It's also possible that with New Jersey very close by and in need of a goaltending improvement, the Devils could be the target team interested in Primeau.

I dont think you need to worry about geography. The devils have scouts in most NHL cities (as every team does). I also think the Habs would rather move Allen.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Primeau’s having a nice game. I don’t find him an especially reassuring presence, but he (and his goalposts) have gotten it done so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes changed my mind over the course of the season from hes worthless to he might be a decent backup. I cant go further than that though and i tbink its pure backup... not 1a/1b.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I must say, Poehling has looked effective tonight. Maybe he’s a “Torts” guy EDIT: aaaand we have secured an undeserved loser point at the very least. It seems somehow typical of this team to squeak out a point despite not being particularly good.

For 2 years, sure. When we are serious about competing then either Monty must continue to improve to elite level (doubtful) or we will still need to upgrade to the 1b (maybe fowler or other prospect is a 1a/1b or more). Primeau can be a stop gap but i dont see him here long term still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Primeau coming up YUGE in OT The last minute of OT was insane in the membrane Flyers fully deserving of the W, so hard to be too upset about the SO result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
