Dalhabs Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Good first period but no goals. Is it just me or is Armia playing good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I forgot it was an earlier start. How is Armia playing? I am curious to read your impression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Is it just coincidence that Allen is playing against a team that is supposedly in the market for a goalie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's no coincidence. Let's hope he plays a decent game, and the Habs jettison him to New Jersey for ... anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Has anyone heard any rumours what the injury is to Struble? I hope it's not serious, although I am glad to see Kovacevic back in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious to read your impression He has looked fine in this one. Nothing too noticeable one way or the other which can be said for a lot of players. Someone needs to remind both teams that there isn't a minimum pass rule, they're allowed to shoot without completing three passes first. So many times we've seen both teams pass their way out of scoring lanes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I may skip this game, watching LVL vs TOR instead. Mysak is back, Davidson seems to playing well but the veteran core (Stephens, Maillet, Gignac, Paquette-Bison) need to play better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Yet another close game lost because of a late penalty in which they let in a goal. It’s like the theme of this season. On another note, is it just me or is anyone else having intermittent issues where you hit submit reply on this forum and the comment doesn’t appear?

dlbalr Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 That was an eventful third period for Matheson. Beat by Hischier on the PPG, beat by Bratt on his goal, but then helped make up for it with the diving poke at the blueline to set up Suzuki's goal. He pulled it off a second time after that but they couldn't tie it. Anderson's back to not being able to buy one after cranking one off the crossbar when it was still 3-2. He's more than due again. That had to be one of the least energetic games of the season. That was tough to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Matheson had some problems but happy about Suzuki scoring. Long season, several injuries, rebuilding team, etc…are catching up with us. Again, I don’t mind losing at this point if it helps us at the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Entertaining at least, for an early start game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Crummy game to watch with the usual suspects being passengers. Gallagher had his blind squirrel finding a nut moment, but promptly erased it with his lazy d zone play that gifted NJ a goal. Potentially good for the tank though...let's hope the Sens win tonight.

GHT120 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Decent-ish game by Allen ... first two goals by players completely uncovered ... third on a semi-breakway given up when killing a penalty (?!?!?!?!) and the final when two players get beaten by end-to-end speed and effort, allowing the opponent to cut across most of the width of the ice right in front of the net.

Commandant Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 New Jersey played one of the cleanest games ever considering that ticky tack hook on suzuki was a penalty but not one single Devil managed a single penalty at the same level all game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 To be honest, at this time of year, with the Habs out of a playoff spot, a loss in regulation doesn't exactly send me to the kleenex box to find a tissue to dry my eyes. Go Sens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
