Roy is out there against McDavid…maybe not the ideal matchup?

Maybe Marty thought he had Patrick Roy out there against McDavid.

Roy getting PP time is pretty cool

 

Kovacevic looks rusty or he is overwhelmed. Harris saved his ass a few times. 
 

Matheson Guhle look terrible together 

 

Savard Struble don’t look great together 

 

Evans and the two Gallaghers look decent 

 

Monahan, Roy, Armia are mostly invisible

Missed the 1st period...

 

Slav leading all forwards on both teams in ice time? Is he having a game? Roy?

Slafkovsky is playing another strong game. Roy is not particularly noticeable, and I think that's good for a first game.

Agree on the defence.  This is why Barron has played so much.  Its tough for defenders to play their off-side.

Only for 1:04--at least in the first. Likely not planned that way.

Caufield 1g 4 shots in the 1st (rest of team had 2 shots) .

Did the high one that he tried to swat in count as a shot? That was Gallagher-worthy.

Savard and Struble weren’t great. I didn’t notice Mathewson and Guhle struggling.

Habs are playing a pretty strong game and Montembault made some great saves. 
 

That Oiler PP looks scary so stay out of the box. 
 

I continue to be impressed with Slafkovsky’s hockey sense, he reads the play so well. 
 

Our Dmen had a better period but I’m not sure why Marty switched it up. Matheson, Savard are perfect for each other

Bad challenge

 

Yeah, I'm not sure what the hope was there.

Gallagher with the totally unnecessary hooking penalty with just under two minutes left in a tie game - BOOO

 

That's his specialty, he's done that a few times this season.  He can't be trusted in these situations.

To me that was goalie interference and the goal should not have counted.  The Oiler just skates through the crease and kicks Montembeau's stick across Sam's body from his left to his right.  Why is that not interference?

Terrific third period. Just fantastic.

 

I thought Gally’s penalty was borderline and would often not be called at that stage of the game.

 

The Mattheson thing was just bad luck.

 

Evans played what might be the snarkiest game I’ve seen from him. I like “pissed off Evans.” Let’s see more of that.

 

Monahan seemed to be hell bent on replacing Josh Anderson as the Veteran Who Misses Great Scoring Chances.

 

Kovacevic had a tough night IMHO. He looked like he’s lacking confidence, to be honest.

 

As for Monty, what can you say? You can quibble with two or three of his rebounds, but as far as I’m concerned he has played like a legit #1G all season and radiates that confidence outward to his team and opponents. He’s a gem.

 

On the whole, the Habs played a really lively, chippy game with a lot of determined defending, great sticks (as announcer guy kept pointing out) and physicality. This team continues to get “up” for big opponents and to play with them. If only they could bottle that for the other 70 games of the season.

Good observations above, the Habs used their sticks really well tonight on defense, interrupted a lot of passes, frustrated McDavid.  I agree that was a very marginal penalty on Gallagher, especially late in a tie game.  Just a fun 3rd period to watch.
