Finally!!!
Had a conflict with the live broadcast, another great show. Good to hear some banter on the kid line. The hole is no different now than the start of the year, Kappy is invisible against contending teams due to the line drivers getting double teamed, can’t wait to see that line with a bonified center.
Hopefully, since we have established this now for the fourth time, Dobes is number one. Play him like the number one.
Dollars to Donuts the evaluation of Monty game is going to show he needs to stand up alot more than he does.
Eventually Gallagher has got to come to the realization that his performance is a hindrance to the team instead of a contributing factor
People quickly forget how bad Dobes stats are compared to when he has a 3 day rest
Edit – oh sorry was addressed right at the end.
Man, is Dobes quick from post to post.
Because the demands on the goalie are mostly mental, it means that for a goalie the biggest enemy is himself , The successful goalie understands these neuroses, accept them, and put them under control. The unsuccessful goalie is distracted by them, his mind in knots. His body quickly follows.
I think it makes the most sense to try Laine on the second line.
You don’t want 3 right shots on one line so either put Slaf or Demidov on the top line & let Laine play with Kapanen & whichever guy is still there.
Makes more sense team construction wise
Got a laugh when the camera focused on Cassidy at the bench there was a hab fan #67 with a jersey that LEAFS SUCK.
Great to see Raymond gone long overdue and congrats to Marciano it’s well deserved
Do Robidas next, maybe this Summer, can’t stand his system, pairings and especially the deployment / usage – enough of this “skill & quick passing” the man to man is only effective unless the other teams establish ozone cycle cuz once they do it’s hard to stomach watching this team defend.
would love Luke Richardson back the guys would go through a wall for him. Running 2 offensive minded D that collectively couldn’t hit their way out of a wet paper bag is not the best choice.
Arber another game under 9:00 minutes… then wonder why Habs D are tired at end of games while Arber and all that mean lean beef is sitting there cold on the bench…
Just dumb
Hold your horse's fellas Laine wants to be here and he's going to show us something when he gets back Wait and see
Send Kapanen down if you want to dress Laine
I would have said Bolduc until recently.
Don’t want to lose Blais and Veleno as they provide depth that will come in handy down the stretch.
26:23 montreal blowing leads is largely on MSL , the team isn't built to dump the puck and hang back to protect the lead , montreal has to attack ,keep the puck cycle down down and dominate zone time . Marty has to see this .
A lot of padding from Shaun today.
Why is nobody bringing up the fact that …….marty doesn't let the KID LINE take offensive zone face offs anymore.
I’ll say it again , Dobes is the goalie of the future . He’s bigger and way faster than Fowler , he’s @n outstanding puck handler . His only problem is that he has too much energy , he’s spazzy out there .mthe way StLouis handled him , only playing him every 8 days is gross and straight up re-tarded!.
Sorry but quit pointing the blame to one guy , sure Raymond was garbage , when he was with the rangers , Lundqvist had horrible seasons. Eric Raymond a good goalie coach? He never had success 🤦♂ but the way StLouis handled him that rotation and how for some unknown reason he’s incapable of pulling Monty out when he’s falling apart🤦♂
News Flash , Monty has never been good, ever! Not in the nhl , not in the AHL, he wasn’t even good in the Q! Like youd have to be touched to still believe that this guy can be a number 1.
If Prime Carey Price is on this team , the habs would be battling Colorado for first place
Yes after the deadline you can have many players in the stands , but you’re onlypissing guys off and hurting the team chemistry. Can you imagine the noise if they sat Gallagher or Laine for many games ? It’s coming, get ready for some drama soon
Played two strong games for the rocket is a bit rich Sean he lost both did he not . This is his last straw no one else to blame now
Sigh, another game in which the Habs can't protect a lead.
Nothing has changed: D-men getting caught on the pinch leading to multiple odd-man rushes, coupled with poor zone defense that allowed Vegas to create too many high-risk scoring chances. The Canadiens didn't play any better or worse than in the Boston or Buffalo games; it's just Dobes made bigger saves than Monty, and even in that, it went to OT.
The problem just isn't goaltending; it is overall team defense. If the Canadiens continue to play with an offense-first mentality and are unable to extend or protect leads, it will mean an early exit in the playoffs, assuming they make it at all.
I agree with Marco but just to correct him regarding the 99’ season – it was Mark Recchi that lead the team with 47 points! Haha, it was the first time since the 40’s when the team didn’t have ONE 20 goal scorer…man there were some bad times lol. Love the show guys. GO HABS GO
Thank Gallagher for his service and put them on waivers and hopefully some other team will claim them and his overpriced salary. My prediction is after the summer is done the third and fourth line and possibly one or two people on defence will be changed. Trades will be made that must happen before my job can move on and be a contender not a pretender.
What happens if Liane scores two power play goals in his first game back?
I wasn't overly impressed with Fowler. Yes he is obviously a good goalie. I guess I feel victim to the hype.
Just so you know. Ken Dryden, in his entire hockey career, never lost more than 2 games in a row.
I think it can only be good news to get a new voice and perspective working with the goalies, at a minimum I can't believe it will hurt.
Just a reminder guys, the Habs general manager is Kent Hugues, it is not Jeff Gorton who would negociate with the Rangers for a trade
Jean beliveau is the face of habs
The only way the Laffs recovered is by trading finger dumbo and me me me Matthew and proper management ☝️😂
When all four lines are set other teams will have to deal with four lines then two and a half lines now
Fowler is a prospect like any other. He is not a sure thing. It’s just as likely Dobes becomes the #1 or someone not yet on the scene. RHD go get Kovacevic Brandon Schneider.
This group needs to mature physically and emotionally. Hughes and Gorton want them playing meaningful games because they simply do not the experience. You can’t trade for it.
Not matter what happens tomorrow, Dobes needs to start Saturday.
Too much perimeter play on PP nobody going to dirty areas.
Jean Beliveau, the ultimate face of the franchise. Ken Dryden, face of the franchise in my generation.
Thomas-Parayko – Guhle-Newhook-Kapanen-1st(or2nd) pick ?
