I know, especially in big moments you cannot ask anything more from monty, we have been blessed with consistent all star goaltending for years and can no longer appreciate who we have in net if not up to the bar carey, and Jose set before

 

And Roy, and Dryden, and Plante, and Durnan, and Hainsworth, and Vezina. 

 

Say what you want about the "flying frenchmen" but throughout our history, all the way back to day 1, we have almost always had an elite goaltender.  

[Butterface]

Suzukiiiiiiii

 

TIES IT UP

[DON]

#14 comes through, cool!

[Prime Minister Koivu]

yeah I was more focusing on recent history, since thibeault left pretty much lol, 

[sbhatt]

THAT WAS A FOLLOW THROUGH

[BCHabnut]

Follow through.

[Commandant]

Got it right on the replay.

[Butterface]

I yelled so loud at TV the refs heard me… 

[Butterface]

Slaf at 3:21 of OT

[sbhatt]

Normally my nerves are frayed when it goes to OT in the playoffs, but right now I just feel relieved to have a chance in OT after the way the game went for 2.5 periods.

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Habs played well and so did Montembault. 
 

Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky are too good to stop

[HabsFan4eternity]

even if we lose good to know we can hang with the big dogs, certain players have played really well, we may stand more of a chance in the series than I anticipated 

[Butterface]

Regardless of outcome, seed of doubt planted.

 

But Slaf at 3:21 will do it.

Hate to say this but that mofo infuriates me. 

[Commandant]

Hutson has 2 assists. 

[Commandant]

Suzuki is my pick for the winner.

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Demidov is scoring

Yes he can be more physical… but on both goals he got out of the way of the shooter.

 

That was important.

 

He will be hard on himself tonight and tomorrow and will be more physical next game.

I'm not even sure he's going to play in the OT.  It wouldn't shock me if they go to three lines primarily with the Evans line working as a matchup line defensively.  The misfit line (Laine-Newhook-Demidov) is going to have a very short leash if they even get a chance.

They've been the worst line analytically by a lot. 

Of course our first line is the best, but the Anderson/Dvorak/Gally line is also doing well. 

[Peter Puck]

I'll go with Jake Evans for the winner.

 

But I am happy just for the OT experience for our young guys.

Alright, let's finish this off!
