Awful 😢
Demidov is a different type of player to Mackinnon
Dom äter, sover och spelar hockey! Dom har alldeles för bra betalt! Pinsamt delux!! Bortskämda lyxlirare! Det är fan inte kvantfysik dom håller på med, dom spelar hockey! Uruselt att fan inte dyka upp på jobbet och göra det bättre! PINSAMT DELUX!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a game against a legit cup contender (favorite right now!?) with 1 regulation lost so far this season. The Habs still have some holes to fill and experience to gain to contend against a team like this.
who is beating the avalanche this season? not many teams can seems?
What a smack down, another low 80's save percentage night by a goalie, D was complete garbage, matheson and carrier especially, 1st line out to luch
They were psyched out seeing those Nordiques uniforms!
At least they got to witness what it takes to be a top team.. seeing the avs play a full 60 mins might be an inspiration..
I don’t want this season to be baked in. We play them one more time in our barn—do what you couldn’t! Slay the KING!🤛😁🤚GO HABS GOOO!🟥🍁🟥 DEMIDOV POWER!
Arber -3.55, yikes !! Hopefully we can get something half decent for him at trade deadline.
Guys Colorado is gonna win the next 3 cups. We might have a chance after that
Defence and coverage were crap. Dobes got hung out to dry.
Habs need a veteran D man for the second pairing.. can’t go 2-3 more months with what we have
Would have been nice to play first on the road. Might have been a better result. LETS GO HABS from Saskatchewan.
I am underwhelmed by Carrier this year. I see Carrier all over the place and some spots uncontested by the canadiens.
We talk and talk about Xhekaj and Struble, but I see that Carrier has some issues and it is starting to show and it's not because he is playing with the newer players of Xhekaj. Is it because he cannot stop a grown man and players just push through him?
He seems lost and does not have an interdiction aura (you get within that aura and I'll slap the puckhurt you bad).
I am not a coach, it's just a feeling.
I'm tired of finding "silver linings" in these blowouts. But if I were looking for excuses, I'd blame the lower oxygen levels at the high elevation. Teams that train in Denver have an adaptation advantage. I recall Hashim Khan, the great squash player of the 50's, remarking on his lack of energy the first time he played in Denver.
2 games in less than 24 hours. The last game against the best team in the league. Relax guys.
When/If the Avs lose, it's in overtime, period. I expected a Blowout, and that's what happened. 4 pts out of 6. More than I expected
that play with Slafzilla to Demidor was wow… really promising
i think it's good reality check for the fanbase, we gotta realize we are not in that tier, so no reason to overpay for the Ryan OReilly or Crosby type acquisition
also let them see between Stars and Avs, this is what Stanley Cup contenders are at… Avs were just so smooth, a few good plays by Habs here and there, but Mckinnon … too much, we dont have that shadow player to defend stars at this level
Silver lining is that Avalanche stoped playing after 7 goals😂😂
We need a goalie like the aves kr even Jonathan Quick from rangers. We need good goaltending. Yes we made defensive mistakes but if we had an a plus goalie OMG we would be unstoppable!!!!
Ref have no idea what goalie interference is
5:50 not to be a stat-watcher, but mackinnon and slaf have some similar early career stats.
You clowns are hilarious! What homers you are! The Habs are too small to compete with the best teams in the league.
I'm not at all worrried about this! No way we could expect to make it 3-0 on the road trip, especially with the Avs losing last night. They're the class of the entire NHL. BUT seeing Demi score, Slaf & Suzi & Caufield keep rolling, it's all good!
I must say, though, it kills me every time I see just how PERFECT Leks is. As positive as it all is for our Habs, can we all at least agree that HuGo made a horrible mistake when they shipped Leks out?
Still haven't filled the void of a hard hitting bad ass forward who can throw devastating checks. We also dont seem to have that on defence either.
Face it. This is a regular season team just like the Leafs have been for years and years. The Habs have a lot of exciting players but Florian Xhekaj is no Tom Wilson and Slaf or Demidov is no Kyle Connor., and Dobes is not even Steve Penney or Brian Hayward. Enjoy the regular season success and hope they win a game or two in the first round before bowing out to the Bruins or Ottawa or Florida.
Slafkovsky/Demidov > Suzuki/Caufield
That 2nd goal was utter BS. Landeskog clearly initiates the contact with Anderson making him fall.
celebrini 65points first years then dominate, hopefully Demidov will be the same for next year 😀 holy crap, just saw suzuki kapanen under 40% faceoff
Just a blip against an insanely good team.
(Btw, I'm liking Slaf's assertive play more and more.)
this game once again proves how useless caufield is on the top line. one trick pony.
