tomh009 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 That was a solid start for the Habs. Now to see how the Oilers respond in the second ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slafkovsky is playing another strong game. Roy is not particularly noticeable, and I think that's good for a first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Barron has played so much. Its tough for defenders to play their off-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Puck Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 5 minutes ago, dlbalr said: Yeah, I'm not sure what the hope was there. 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?

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just like last Saturday against a top notch team, Monty continues to prove he is a #1 goalie. Matheson can sure skate. Habs are basically a 1 line team with their current injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
