@fnveenie @ivandemigoal Also, it's Guentzel

@ivandemigoal I didn't think it was that bad. Not all five hole goals are bad. There is a reason it's such a common target on open rush chances.

I saw people coming at Dobes after the second goal, hopefully y’all changed opinions.

@McInnispicks Or if Dobes let's in the same 3rd goal.

I honestly can't imagine what would happen if the roles were reversed and this happens to Kucherov. #GoHabsGo

@80SavedMyLife HABS fan here, well done.

@fnveenie @islanders_takes @HommedePaix1 It's quite possible that the series would be over if Dobson was in the lineup. (HABS win)

@islanders_takes @HommedePaix1 Matheson is struggling badly without him.

MTL fans are probably going to find this and think it's hate on Dobson but they legitimately look so much better defensively on that right side without him in the lineup. I'm not saying they're better without him. I'm just saying the defense there has been more engaged, higher effort, and better. They definitely don't break the puck out as well without him but they are closing and challenging and clearing the front much better. Last night was their best effort. That was a really tough game up and down with TBL consistently finding ways to put pressure in moments and MTL having to consistently answer and steal momentum away on the road. I've been extremely critical of MTL's chances through the playoffs. I see their lack of experience, particularly their coaching, as a major liability. But the defense is obviously playing very high-level right now and if they can sustain this (I'm still doubtful in later rounds/series they can) then they're an absolute unit.

@ivandemigoal He was amazing defensively at the end.

Matheson man, no words.

@HockeyyInsiderr @CanadiensMTL Matheson made mistakes, but on D, he was unreal dude. If you know your hockey, you would see that.

My grades for the @CanadiensMTL based on their performance last night : Caufield : D- Suzuki : B+ Slaf : C+ Texier: B+ Newhook : C Demidov : D Bolduc : B+ Gallagher : A- Dach : B+ Evans : B- Danault : B- Josh Anderson : B- Matheson: D- (deport to China) Carrier : B Guhle: B Hutson : B+ Struble : B- Xhekaj : D+ Dobes : A- Thoughts ?

@fnveenie @HabsWest Pretend? If you're asking me, he's injured.

@heymonkris @HabsWest Are we supposed to pretend something isn't off?

Legitimately don’t understand HOW ANYONE wants Caufield on this team long term😭😂🫠

@fnveenie @HabsWest Are you seriously ripping CC? Something is clearly off, we know what he can do.

@HabsWest He's been good in the playoffs before but holy shit it doesn't even look like he's trying.

@BoltsJolts I hope you realize that Tampa scored both of their goals off of mistakes. Both of their goals were off of a 2 on 1. HABS scored 2 out of their 3 goals off of just going to the net (playoff style hockey). Tampa's goaltender gave the HABS their 3rd goal.

Montreal did absolutely nothing special tonight. They played the same way they have all series. TB gifted them 2 goals and you could argue the third as well. No runway left.

@fnveenie Bud, I'm losing it at work. Geting butterflies every time I think about it.

Nerves are shot. Need a decisive Habs win tonight to recover.

@TBLightning With HABS fans?

Ready to pack OUR rink tomorrow 🤩

@ReviewLightning Patrice Bergeron won it plenty of times and never came close to 100 points.

So Nick Suzuki is the odds-on fave for the Selke as best defensive forward this season, right? Does anyone else think it's weird that nobody ever gets acknowledged in this stupid league for being a great defensive forward until the put up a hundred point season? #FixTheSelke

@SimonTSN690 Dobson

Series is 1-1 that’s fine, blown opportunity but that’s sports BUT 4 power play goals 2 Anderson goals Need to make adjustments, anyone have any ideas ????

@HockeyyInsiderr I like that one, well played sir.

Tom Wilson from Wish.

@fnveenie @brenmidov I truly believe that they were after Hischier at the deadline. If we had him in the 2C spot, cup contenders automatically.

@brenmidov Need a 2C and top 4 RD and holy shit

Guys, this team is kinda sorta REALLY good already and know how to play playoff hockey. Entire team is bought into physicality and defence. Did. It expect this this year at all

@ivandemigoal Kirb your enthusiasm

I don’t blame Kirby for deactivating his IG, some people really take it too far. I just hope it doesn’t become a distraction. Honestly, it was still a smart move on his part after seeing some of the comments going around yesterday.

@ivandemigoal Small players.

Perry is always going for people who want nothing to do with him.

@PRICEKOVSKY 💯 They're oblivious

@heymonkris the fans thinking they are in the convo is killing me

is arber chirping the fans i’m crying😭

@fnveenie Also, I agree. Slaf gave in to Hagel. He shouldn't have fought in that moment. Prime example of what you're talking about.

What pisses me off the most about last night is the Habs allowed Tampa's behaviour to work. If Hutson scores on that PP, the narrative is completely different. Tampa looks stupid and desperate. Narrative completely flips because the Habs can't score on open nets.

@fnveenie The chances that were missed definitely came back to haunt them. Especially that shorthanded chance with Evans and Newhook. That one bothered me.
