Let's gooooo!
Slafzilla 🦎🔥🔥🔥
"The Olympic Slaf wrist shot" 😂
Love that shirt Jesse. Where you get that ?
Great game for Dobes and the top line. The rest of the team needs to play better 2 way hockey. We gotta clean it up. The guys were tired but still. Please send Monty to Laval and call up Fowler for the back to backs. We need wins!!
Dobes ❤❤❤❤❤
You are always hyped 😂😂
Evolution is what? They were terrible and Ptford can't play D relax on young prospects it means nothing. Guy has a better chance of being a winger. Habs suck right now, block shots, kings missed the net a million times, so lucky.
If we get goaltending, our skill will win more often than not.
Carrier was awful! Call up Reinbacher. Danault and Gallagher are just too slow and have far too many cramps. Time for Owen Beck.
They got to bring up fowler and run with the kids to give them experience
Mathison had a pretty bad game honestly im perplexed on his inconsistent playing?.
I've been saying since day 1 the D is Mobile and will help… but the D is mobile and soft it will hurt… They need 1 or 2 other good D physical D – men.
Dobes and Fowler…Monty blows
One of the most playoff feeling none playoff game ever
who is using facebook still?
I am totally stunned that they won this game. LA was totally dominating them . Like, what the f**k is going on with this team
Happy for the first line and for Dobes. Florian got himself a Gordie Howe tonight…
Glad they won. Listening to idiots cry we didn't go overpay for a trade and whine we are not making the playoffs after losing a couple games in OT. Is hard to take.
Greasy 2 points tonight. Thank you Dobes! Habs were outworked and looked small and slow. I’ll take the 2 points but that was ugly
are coach is going to start monty to build him up next few games, u swear!!!
He did jack up Danault, and he was right to.
What makes Bryce Pickford so special is that he is a defenseman that fits on Marty St.Louis scheme. He wants mobile defenseman. Pickford is that. He wants defenseman that can join on the rush and outnumber defenders thereby creating scoring chances. Pickford does that. He wants Defenseman with vision and toughness, Pickford does that. He has had Gordie Howe Hat tricks. He is everything that Arber isn't. Its why I think in a few years Arber will be traded and Pickford is coming in to replace him.
Another thing, Pickford is a right shot defenseman. Another plus for him. The Habs are loaded with great defenseman prospects.
I noticed Dobes giving the players $h!t at the end too. Glad Dobes was vocal about it.
The team is 7th overall in points and a top 5 team in the league for goals scored.
They need to be better defensively in tgeir own end.
They need to bring back Sammy Blais and if Florian Xhekaj is playing well, bring them over to the Habs. They need grit in anticipation of the playoffs especially if they play against the Buffalo Sabres.
Can we send Monty to the ahl and bring up Fowler for this run like give the kid the experience Monty is shit dobes needs to start every fucking game going forward
Just give the net to Dobes! Come on, Mr. St. Louis!
Dobes carried the Habs on his back, shot-count 16-1….and Slaf, yes, but Suzuki is a fine, fine captain.
The old man line was super solid tonight too
After another MontemBLOWN lead the previous game, it was refreshing and not surprising seeing Dobes keep a lead for the win!
This fixes everything:
Hutson – Dobson
Matheson – Reinbacher
Guhle – Carrier
Dobes
Ahoj ALL,
today´s game showed us how much hockey IQ Slaf got…
His points just shows us he has played enough games to start seeing patterns in the game.
1st goal = as you said it was copy paste from his olymp. goal against Finland and that assist to Suzuki, that should not be goal it is the oldest play in the book those two have 😀
Xjekaj had a few bad fumbles tonight. Ouch. One turned into a goal.
We don’t get to watch many canadiens games out west, we get Pittsburg and Chicago over and over. I don’t pay for any games and I never will. Tonight ,Saturday we had Montreal/ Los Angeles, I got to see how our defence is and it has problems ,however most of them are young so patience is required. However again there were two goals given up by experince defence man and that is a problem. Playing the puck instead of the body .especially happy they never traded for old talent , no panic button pushed.
Slaf's biggest comparable is Matthew Knies ( Slovakian ancestry) Well Slaf just passed Kmies in points 52 to 51 points.
I hope Hughes makes a trade this summer to get Knies to give us two playoff monsters 😂
Not very likely but who knows Leafs might decide to tear everything down especially if Matthews decides to leave town.
Pickford is also +49 and counting….great defensively too
They need to tighten up the defense they're giving up way too many shots
Jesse extra flamboyant ce soir!
Is demidov still gonna be a superstar player?
Leave Fowler and Reinbacher in Laval. Let them carry the team through the playoffs. Will be good for both of them.
Celibrini Bedard (Wright😂) scores goals that's it period!
Slavkovský scores assists hits wins battles etc
The team defence has been brutal the last three games and they had no business winning tonights game with one shot against in the first period. Dobes was great in the first or this would have been over early. I would not be celebrating too much as this team has alot of holes right now. Can anyone tell me why Gally brings to this team now? He should be sitting and definitely not be playing on PP2.
Slafkovsky is not on pace for 30+30 but i would say he will be surely 65+ even could end up as 70p player
Thumbs down for the ai slaf with a fake mustache in the thumbnail
