Monty B
2Good2Tank
Matheson is him I stg
Shot count doesn’t match the score at all lmao
Play Monty to develop him, or draft top 5. No middle ground.
Très belle jeu et d’effort de Montembault, Anderson, Suzuki et RHP
That was sick as fuck, also lé wégns tabarnak
Marty was all smiles tonight
So long Tank, we hardly knew ya!
Fun first habs game to go to
Where was this Habs team in December
Monty went mode gobelin
I should be happy, but I’m into tank mode so I don’t know how to feel
So much for “hardest schedule remaining” eh? We win when they never expect us to 😏
Forget about tanking.
I didn’t watch the last few games, glad I caught this one.
Gonna be funny when Monty returns back to old form next year and we get out of it with a worse record.
Winning keeps us away from generational talent and nothing else.
Matheson with 27:27 TOI, 2 pts. Is he trying to get traded again?
😑
This game made me miss Dan Robertson.
Well there goes any chance of finishing with Top 3 odds for Bedard. Don’t get me wrong fun game and great win, but fuck me we were supposed to be at 46 points, within 5 of all 3 of Chicago, Columbus and Anaheim. And they would have passed us given our hard schedule. So fucking dumb, somehow winning vs NYI, EDM and now Jersey. 6 points for no reason. At this point we would be lucky to have Top 5 odds finish bottom 4 or 5… How does this team that we have fielded with these players keep racking up wins LMAO. These other teams gotta be embarassed.
So much for the tank, good night Bedard you are not a Montreal Canadien.
Montembault is fucking up the tank for real. I like the guy, I want him to do well…but maybe not this well. He’s gonna need to develop into a full on starting goalie at this rate because if he keeps up like this and plays well enough that we end up drafting outside of the “elite talent” range…and then Sammy regresses next season. Then I’m not gonna be happy at all.
Didn’t need Bedard last time we went to the finals 🤷♂️ sucez la tank boys
Anyone have a clip of Montembeault celebrating the goal with the boys?
Monty looking real great this year. .906 save percentage for the year so far is a vast improvement.
Monty out there ruining the tank for the whole season.
Can we bench someone for overperforming?
Wow i usually avoid these threads when we lose, looks like I need to avoid them when we win; some fans are so tankbrain its short-circuiting their capacity to speak to others.
Wow, this team… I remember in today’s lineup post some comments saying the lines were cursed and amongst the worst this team has had, and yet tonight they proudly wore the CH and played with a fire under their asses. Montembeault le goat. What a game!
Rip the tank though 😅
Fucl the tank! This is fun!!
Oh my! Went to see the game with my 4 year old son. He got car sick and puked all over his jersey. Didn’t have a bag, so he finished puking in his Habs hat… Then we got to the game and he decided he loves the Devils mascot… so he started chanting “Let’s go Devils” and as soon as he did they scored…🙈So much bad juju I thought we were goners lol
I think some of you need a reminder that Benson, Sale, Moore, Dvorsky, Sandin-Pellikka, Leonard could very well end up better than Michkov or even Fantilli. If we draft 6th instead of 4th, it’s really not that big a deal.
RHP is here to stay; reminds me so much of Gallagher in his skating. Barron’s game is growing on me. Anderson is a keeper.
Bullshit useless win !!!
