How about Evans getting in game shape with 7 goal closing on his best 13 goal season with less game 😉
Dobes is at 7 wins from being the top league leader.
And our place in the playoffs is still not granted.
It's a no brainer that Dobes deserve the 2 starts though I understand the arguments from others.
Agree a well rest Gally is a must for playoffs ☝️
Dobes Focus on another level.
18 win 5L. (DOBIE) Somebody in mtl needs to figure it out already stop pushing Monty – he is NOT your #1
If Slaf ever starts hitting and deliver solid body checks,he could be our team mvp,for some reason,he refuses to hit oppents dispite being our most physically dominant player
He got the puck to #14 that is the key going forward…
Danault.. The prospect of the Stretch and Playoff looking likely.. Living in Edmonton…. History of Truth is obvious evidence of watching his work he brought to the table versus McDavid ect. Guns out here.. Hasn't been Vocalized Yet really appreciated yet.. It's coming watch this..🎉
I think a lot of fans under estimate K Ghule great show, fan from Cape Breton Island
Dobes is the starter 😎
What do you guys think of giving Arber some ice time with Dobson
leafs are dangerous now ~ they won a game once ~
I would love to see the USA lose in the Olympics to an overtime game where if they had Caufield, they would have won. Poetic Justice.
If Dach continues the role he has now been given, he will be extremely useful. Time will tell.
What a neat, cool, awesome, amazing stat, that C.C. has or is ready to play on Saturday nights. Growing up in Alberta, I waited all week for Saturday night, to watch (hopefully if Taranna Maple Leaves weren’t force fed to us westerners) the Montreal Canadiens on HNIC… and here is Cole, performing like he has the whole country watching… loves it!!
Finally, our defense shaped up and played well for most of the game and Doby was great! Can they keep it going? They have to keep riding Doby as long as he keeps playing winning hockey. If Kirby can stay healthy and keep contributing points this season, I would re-sign him.
"Hey Alexa, play Jon Pardi Mr. Saturday Night"……….. Olè, Olè Olè Olè!!!!
Collectively, the Canadiens centers won 70% of the faceoffs against Buffalo. 😊
Caufield for Maurice Richard trophy?
You guys fail to mention how well he played in Decemeber. When most were lumping Monty's bad performances with him, Dobes was 4-2-1 with a 2.30 GAA and a save pct of .907 He has performed well most of the year, its when MSL announced that Monty was going to remain the starter after Dobes' blazing October start is when the problems began for Dobes, with MSL being stubborn and stupid leaving Monty as the number one, when Dobes was CLEARLY outplaying him. Just think where this team would be in the standings had Dobes been rightfully named the number one in November!
Gally’s value off-ice can’t be measured on the stats sheet… I agree, he definitely doesn’t need to play every single game, especially when Newhook and Laine get back, but his grit and leadership will likely be useful come playoff time. Enough with the hate.
Why is Brendan Galaghet on the second power play, its ridiculous
I love Gally!!!! hes a BIG part of the culture still. Critics are NUTS when it comes to MTL. THANK YOU Marco for backing this warior
Hey Marco , Crosby for Reinbacher what do you think. ahhahaha come on!
I give the 2 last games to dobes hes on fire roll with it monty had is chances and crosby will finish his career with pittsburg
Dobeš should play both games. He's clearly our #1 and Monty is clearly a back up and should be treated as such. They're going to have a 3 week break. There's no reason to rest Dobeš.
As a Canadiens fan and a team Canada fan, I truly appreciate the gesture from Bill Guerin on keeping Caufield and Hutson off team USA. 🎉🎉🎉
If it means having more rested Caufield and Hutson for MTL to finish the season… great!! If it also means not facing these two for team Canada, also great. I don’t want to have to “hate” these two at any moment.
I know some will say, its great experience for them to play with top players, and I get it, but they will get their chance next time, after Caufield wins a rocket Richard and Hutson wins a Norris 😜.
Suzuki has always made me think of Sakic ! kinda of the same calm energy
Love Hank boys. Love how he makes his regular unscripted appearances. What a good boy. Go Habs go.
You guys, hockey junkie and whiskey lung are must-watch YouTube Habs content!!!
Are you guys going to cover the Olympics during the break?
Danault has doubled his points he had in L.A in half of the games…He still has offence !!
If the USA don't win the gold medal in Milan, imagine how Caufield will be pumped to shove it to Guerin by scoring 50 goals….It's a WIN-WIN for us
Dach when he’s confident has that FU energy that Kent Hughes talked about.
These playoffs will be his coming out party.
Dobes is incredibly athletic. Really big!! And as he learns to play with added structure. Potential is huge! So, so athletic.
