Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 A losing streak ends tonight…Arizona is on a longer losing streak so perhaps they need it more. Having Arizona pass the Habs in the standings would be okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'm somewhat torn for the outcome of this game. I certainly want to Habs to draft higher than the Yotes but I definitely don't want to see the Habs lose 6 in a row. The Habs are up by 1 on Armia's goal from a nice pass by Newhook on the rush. They need to do more rushes like that, they are basically built to be fast and skilled to specifically to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a Habs win, Monty looks good tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 A frustrating first period for me despite Montreal having the lead. Can someone please remind the Habs that, you know, shooting the puck every now and then would be useful? They have it in their heads that they must complete several passes before thinking of attempting a shot and keep passing their way out of shooting areas.

Neech Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Nice shot from Harris. He has the tools to stay in the league for a long time, if we trade him it better be for something good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Slaf has been taking too many penalties lately, and both tonight in the offensive zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Wow, what a pass from HondaCivic to hit Suzuki in stride at the end of the period there. Habs getting dominated on the shot clock but winning undeservedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should have been Primeau (this was a good spot to play him) but it turns out they needed Montembeault to get the win.

Neech Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 On the bright side, nice to get the win for the home fans - we could easily lose another five straight with our difficult upcoming schedule. Happy for Suze to get the empty netter and for Slaf to send that guy flying. Slaf is still late on many of his reads, but that's something I expect he'll continue to improve upon. Armia has been really solid for several weeks now. Maybe Pearson's goal will wake him up and he'll get some interest at the deadline.

Having Arizona pass the Habs in the standings would be okay Yup, Coyotes suck. Looked like an AHL team. Evans(3 shots)/Armia(4 shots) 2pts each Caufield just 1 shot, shut down by a crappy team. "10 Thoughts 1) A concern that I had early and often in the opening frame was that the Habs were getting way too cute, the top line in particular. There are no style points nor do you get bonus points for fancy passes or completing a bunch of passes before shooting. If you’re trying no-look drop passes in the slot, something is wrong. Someone needs to start shooting the puck. Montreal had ten shot attempts in the opening 20 minutes. Not shots on goal, shot attempts. Against a team that hasn’t won in more than a month, that’s categorically unacceptable." 10 Thoughts: Montembeault Shuts Down Coyotes – HabsWorld.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Guhle was -2 but i still liked how he worked hard defending around Montembeault, 24:09. Harris must be happy to get 2 points and 17:34. Armia averages 14.4g/82games, seems will end up around his norm at end of year. Roy continues to make some smart plays with puck and doing well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect, it was a brilliant move. Armia is only six goals away from his career high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Kinda assume upcoming UFAs Armia-Savard-Dvorak-Allen-Evans be much more tradable next deadline. Armia has looked pretty good since return from AHL and maybe some GM might like him?
