Prime Minister Koivu Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Is this team finally coming together?  Another afternoon game but those afternoon games have looked pretty good lately.  I expect Montembault to play again.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 This team Canada is probably the worse team Canada I've seen. Not skill wise, they just can't put offense together. Losing to Latvia and then winning a nail biting game against Germany just makes me dread the beating they will get from USA. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Yup, but Germany beat USA... so. A noon Habs game, will they 'upset' 3 contending teams in a row, time for another Laine PP goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Let’s go Habs. It would be nice to continue the winning streak. The Knights have a solid first two lines and defensive pairings but I like our depth a lot better. Vegas is 15-3-0 at home and outside of recently the Habs’ main struggle was performing on the road. Vegas is on a 6 game win streak but hopefully we can ride our wave a little longer and keep it competitive. 1 goal game and anything can happen.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Who is in the Habs net? 16-20 vs 25-11; well they played very well on weekend, just hope it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 I'm hoping for a solid game, with the Habs "in the mix" until the end. What the final score will be matters less to me, this is now one of the top teams in the league, and on a hot streak yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Definitely a combination of Dach and Xhekaj but I place a little more blame on Dach for the offensive zone mishap as well. He did put in the effort to backcheck though, but also caused a little confusion with Xhekaj as he took his position on the ice. Â The Habs played a decent period overall. Hopefully they can keep it up for the rest of the game. Going to need some offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted December 31, 2024 Author Share Posted December 31, 2024 Caufield has done fantastic things in all three zones.  Habs can’t generate many opportunities because Vegas is all over us.  CAUFIELD SCORES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Big goal for Cole 🚨  Huge in the context of the game and also his 💯 in his career.  Vegas D > Habs D Montreal F > Vegas F  Vegas D 2 - 0 Habs D Montreal F 1 - 0 Vegas F  Weird sequence at the end of the period as Evans was hard on the forecheck and then decided to change with 3 seconds left instead of back checking (he looked a little ginger on one leg). Vegas went up the ice and put the puck in the net but thankfully just after the time ran out. Nobody has said anything as it happened right at the end of the period but hopefully Evans is okay. It didn’t look too serious but he also shouldn’t have changed so he must have felt something.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
