Game #66 - Florida Panthers @ Montreal Canadiens


Recommended Posts

We need a 2C … not more 3 & 4 Cs.

 

We have to fix that second line before Demidov shows up.

 

Hughes will hopefully get the job done.

 

We’ll see.

Maybe keeping Dvorak on a short-term contract would make more sense than a big-money UFA on a seven-year deal?

 

No, its time for one of Beck or Kapanen to take the spot. 

While I was against them being both the 3c and 4c, one of them has to be integrated now.  Its a camp battle for who.

MONTEMBAULT IS A QUALITY STARTER

Bobrovsky 6 GSAx

Montembeault 19 GSAx

 

They might have some regret now about waiving him ...

You sound defensive.

 

.901 sv%

 

He's over .900 !

Just a very well-played game by the Habs. That's how you do it. And the goalie was there with breathtaking saves in the pinch.

 

I notice the Habs first line is finally getting critical mass in terms of recognition by the commentators. I guess when your C is leading the league in points since the break, it gts their attention.

Far more important than SV%


I’ll admit he’s catching up to the other goalie.

Call me when the other goalie has played a full season and has been scouted by opponents.

 

Montrmbault has been solid since he got here.  Nearly 4 seasons now.

That was a well played game against a good team tonight.  Caufield stayed hot, Laine did his thing on the PP, Nick and Slaf both got a point, and Hutson got another assist to continue his assault on the rookie D-man record book.  That checks all of the boxes for me.

The decibel level was off the charts.   
 

Never in my 48 yrs on earth would I have thought I’d be head over heels in love with three men under 6ft.

The Gallagher goalie interference was pretty weak but there was no reason for Gallagher to be so far into the blue paint.  

was a normal call wasnt it? If was Habs you would want goal called off.

That Heineman penalty was complete bullshit 

and they call this one often, almost every time if gives a scoring chance.

 

I dont get all the whining about the refs all the time, they arnt consistent we all know that.

Hasnt changed as long as i have been watching NHL and NO the refs arnt biased against the Habs.

15 shots.

Suzuki double-shifting on PP, Hughes needs to find a top six centre before the fall seems obvious.

Is Sam Bennett an option, or likely resign? 

 

10 Thoughts: A Strong Defensive Effort Earns Habs a Victory Over Panthers – HabsWorld.net

 

1st Star: Cole Caufield – He helped kickstart the play that set up Laine’s power play marker and, of course, his goal stood as the winner.  Once again, Montreal’s top line was by far their best with Caufield being a big part of that.

Stats: 1 goal, 1 assist, +1 rating, 3 shots, 19:04 TOI

Gallagher had no reason to be in the blue paint so for that reason he deserved the penalty. 
 

It was a weak call because I’m not even sure Gallagher actually touched Bob

Seems the NHL agrees that Gallagher didn’t necessarily touch Bobrovsky. I am almost certain Montreal would have scored anyway (and I would have felt the same way had Florida scored) so that’s what is frustrating but there’s always that we’ll never know scenario which the other side could always argue and why they have the rule in the first place. With that being said, the rule has a little bit too much of a grey area for me.

Who said bias?

 

I said they made shit calls on Heineman and especially missing the trip on Savard.  It can be incompetence and not bias and the result of the missed calls still end up being more beneficial for one team than the other.  Just cause there is no bias doesnt mean there is no benefit.

It was amazing to hear how jazzed the crowd was. That came through even over the broadcast. 

 

These players are discovering just what it means to surpass expectations in the bleu, blanc, et rouge. There is no city where hockey success means so much to the community. And I would not be totally surprised if they ride that wave of passion and momentum all the way to the playoffs.

When I saw the replay I was sure they would call it back. Gallagher was in the crease on his own and more importantly it looked like he made contact with the goalie's stick. I think the goal would have been scored anyway but as much as I hated to see the goal called back, it was the right call. It wasted a ridiculous pass by Nick.

Canadiens' smothering of Panthers puts improbable playoff chase in perspective - Sportsnet.ca

“I think, from start to finish, it’s one of the best games we’ve played since I’ve been here,” said St. Louis, who became Canadiens coach on Feb. 9, 2022. “The fans spoiled us in the third, and we want to give this to them. It was a great experience for everyone that was in the building tonight and I had a lot of fun in the third with how we carried ourselves and the atmosphere in there. I want us to earn more moments like that.”

It was a fun game for sure.  The crowd was fantastic.  Need the Oilers to beat the Rangers tonight.
