Grosse game à soir.
We want Florida!
Xhekaj couche cousins à soir
YOU’RE OFF THE JOB BOBROVSKY!
Checking if Matheson and Montembeault are extra motivated when facing the Panthers.
Matheson: 6 games, 5 pts, -9.
Montembeault: 5 games, 4 losses, .863 SV%, 5.61 GAA.
Last year looms large. We allowed 27 goals in 4 games to Florida. It’s a bit better this year *just* allowing 9 goals in 2 games.
Fuck Nick Cousins
Nick (the goat) Suzuki vs Nick (the bum) Cousins
For the Canadiens app contest
Latendresse (84) Dach (77) Subban (76) Evans (71) Savard (58) = 366
Also tonight is the 12th time the Habs play on a February 29th
Florida is genuinely really really good. Could get ugly, but the fellas put up a good fight against a stacked NYR team, on offense at least
Marty’s on crack if he doesn’t put Pezz in tonight
slaf awakening coming
Radio guys are saying Slaf was *pissed* but that it makes for terrific quotes. They also mentioned the plane hit some wicked turbulence and joked that the players were holding onto each other in fear. “Ce n’était pas une episode de Lance et Compte, mais…”
fuck Nick Cousins
Monty vs Bob who Stole His Job.
Gonna be a good one.
I’m scared 🤷♂️
Lebrun just posted an article on the athletic saying that he thinks the Habs set the bar for savard at a 1st, and a prospect with the value equivalent to a first or picks that equal the value of a first. I think he’s sticking around for the season lol
I’m ready to hate.
We usally get destroyed in Florida so hang in there Habs!
Boys, please please please don’t embarrass us too much
Goalie warmups are so silly looking
Cousins direct dans l’clos caliss. Xhekaj, décaliss lui la geule esti !!!!
The best team in the NHL have big cats sounds effects in the arena everytime their annoying home announcer say something annoyingly. So all the time…
Lots of Habs fans in attendance
I need to come clean… I’m attracted to Tkachuk
I’m just hoping we can keep the score down. If I have to listen to one more game full of those stupid panther scream sound effects I’m going to lose my mind.
Wow, Florida’s PP is impressive….oh wait
I have a weird feeling Montembeault is gonna burn a lot of calories tonight.
Damn, Florida is so much better than us.
