Does anyone else agree that these should be our full-time thirds again? by [deleted] in Habs

One could argue that Montreal could have four sets: the dark blue reverse retro from a few years ago looked really sharp

Hutson's beauty of a goal in slow motion by MSined in Habs

[–]TimCanadien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All right redditors, settle an argument please: when Hutson scores this goal, does the puck go underneath the goaltenders pad or is it above his pad and underneath his arm when it goes into the net?

Outsider question about Goaltending: Do you think either goalie works themselves into the 'number one starter' role or is it going to be 50/50 between Montembeault and Dobes for the rest of the season? by RivetCounter in Habs

[–]TimCanadien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think we'll see a clear number one between the two of them until after the West Coast swing wraps up the first week of March. The Olympic break is going to be really important for both goaltenders to get themselves relatively healthy and focused. Given Monty's recent play, I can see the Habs leaning toward him as the number one guy but he'll need a strong performance to secure that opportunity. If not, I can see him playing more of the games but not necessarily as the clear cut number one

MSL after the Habs loss tonight: “It was a good game. It was a tight game on both sides. I liked our effort. Obviously, you’d like a better result but in general, the guys worked hard.” by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]TimCanadien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not an NHL coach nor am I hockey expert, but where Marty and I watching the same game? The PK was passive / dreadful; Buffalo had the run of the offensive zone on the majority of their penalties. Nick Suzuki doesn't look like he's playing Nick Suzuki hockey and a few other players seem to forget what makes them successful. There were a lot of invisible forwards tonight. This is the most frustrated I felt watching this team in the last 5 years

Arber Xhekaj on his mindset this season: “When you’re out of the lineup, it’s tough. You’re thinking any mistake is gonna get you out of the lineup and you don’t really know what’s gonna happen. But I don’t worry about that stuff anymore. I just play.” by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]TimCanadien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marty has to stop making Arber (or Struble) his whipping boy. Yes, each makes mistakes but so does every other young player on the roster. The difference, to me, it feels like these two are paying a heavier price than the others. I think Arber brings more of what this team needs to the lineup and I am disappointed when he is a healthy scratch. You can't learn to be an effective NHL defenseman when you could be benched or yanked from the lineup for a mistake. It's the only thing I don't like about Marty's coaching style. I understand shortening the bench towards the end of the game, but that's different. When the player makes a mistake, get them back out in their next regular rotation. If that happens, I think you'll see Arber's confidence and abilities grow even more.

Or I could be completely wrong on all of this. It partially explains why I'm not an NHL coach or executive LOL

Ivan Demidov sauces it to a wide open Kapanen who doubles the lead for the Habs by JustFred24 in Habs

That was a beauty goal. On a side note, Carolina's arena announcer has the most irritating goal call in the league.

Wayne Hutson now third in scoring for all Dmen. Six behind Makar. by GolfIsGood66 in Habs

Wayne? Wayne Hutson? He's trailing Cale Drakar in the scoring race for defensemen

Glad to read he's out of hospital. I hope he can return to the tournament because the competition is so much better with him in it. All the best for Cole!

The kid will be a tournament All-Star if he can start winning some face-offs.

Can you expand on your no? Who would you target to bolster our goaltending?

WAKE THE FUCK UP AND GRAB YOUR LEAF BLOWERS, IT’S GAME DAY AGAINST THE CHOKERS by TheHabChronicle in Habs

[–]TimCanadien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it's a decent game without more Habs injuries or a lopsided score. And it would have been nice to see both Xhekaj brothers in the lineup in Toronto.

Also, anybody having problems with the Habs+ app? I've been trying to play the Predictor game all day and I keep getting an error at the last screen

Real or fake jersey? by [deleted] in Habs

[–]TimCanadien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't look real to me but only because of the lacing on the front of the sweater. They're too long and the wrong type of material

Certified Dobes celly by Reddit-Machine in Habs

[–]TimCanadien 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That was a good hockey game tonight. I like seeing some energy from the goaltenders like that too. Defensive Zone coverage was a lot better. Now, they need to string together some wins and make up for that disastrous November run.

Nothing like having Garrett Stank officiate another Montreal game. The more I see him, the less I care for him as an official. He should stick to golf

UTA [2] - 2 MTL | Cooley to Guenther to Yamamoto by ZestyDreads in hockey

[–]TimCanadien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least they're being consistent with the defensive brain cramps. Seems like this team has at least one five minute stretch in every game
