@brenmidov I hope so. But between their experience, coaching and goaltending I don’t like the odds

@AnalyticsGuy4 I think you’d be surprised then. I don’t really doubt our ability to push Tampa at least. I’d say 6 or 7 games
English
I’m seriously cool with anything. Carolina is the obvious choice if you want to win, but I feel like they’re all really interesting matchups

How the Atlantic currently stands. So many potential first round options. Buffalo v MTL Tampa v MTL Carolina v MTL (Unlikely but possible: Boston v MTL) Which first round would you guys take? Piece coming up on TFP.

@fnveenie I think it depends on who they get back. If the league is that high on him he probably has a lot of value
English
Alexander Zharovsky is turning heads in the scouting community. I've seen his name come up a lot in trade proposals, but I'd love for the Habs to get a look at him before making those kinds of decisions.

@HabsOnReddit I’m glad they didnt panic trade for a goalie at the deadline
English
@brenmidov He has quite a bit of runway with this team I think. St. Louis seems to like him
English
@AnalyticsGuy4 I really want things to work out with him because I think his player profile fills a massive need for the Habs. Playoff type of player written all over him
English
@_JordanDecker Dobes may just be the type of goalie who really turns it on when it matters
English
Goalie coach change seems to have worked wonders
Matt Drake@DrakeMT
Jakub Dobes looks so much more sure of himself than he did early in the season. He's in control, and he's anticipating plays so well that he can often help his defenders with the forecheck they're facing.
English
@fnveenie He works well with Evans I would keep him there. Texier played well with them it’s unfortunate he’s hurt
English
Bolduc also looks to have accepted his role as a hard forechecker and general pain in the ass. This is the player I was expecting when he was acquired, although with a bit more production. I think that will come if he maintains this level of play.
Jordan Decker@_JordanDecker
He might be coming around at the perfect time. He’s looked a lot better lately. People need to remember he’s a sophomore. A lot of players go through the “sophomore slump” without changing teams. He’s had to do it on a new team, new system and new teammates. Be patient.

@goalcauf Playoffs are better with Ottawa instead of Detroit honestly
English
@BrucePSmith @fnveenie They are in a wildcard spot now. They’re there to stay
English
@fnveenie Basically as good as we could hope for I guess?
I actually wanna see Ottawa in.
English
Bruins lose, Penguins lose, Islanders lose, Red Wings lose, all in regulation. Habs win. What a night.
English
@RiseFromTheAshZ His rebound control still makes me nervous but he manages to get the wins
English
@fnveenie I have a theory about this jersey matchup. Suzuki passed it right on the tape of a Carolina player earlier in the game. I’m not saying that’s why he was that far behind the D himself though
English
@brenmidov He’s been good with Evans and texier. I’d like to keep them together, they’re getting chances just can’t score
