    RIP Anderson, that looked bad, hope he’s ok

  2. fortytwoanswers

    I am 1000% team tank but it does feel good to beat the Lightning, Suzuki got 2 points and Dach scored in his first game back, and the Flyers beat the Panthers. I’m also becoming a huge Barron fan, quietly on a nice 4 or 5 game point streak.

  3. HabChronicle

    Kucherov when the fans booed a non-goal call: are you keedin me?

  4. Sentenced2Burn

    If there’s one team I don’t mind getting a couple wasteful points against it’s Tampa fucking Bay

    Fuck the Bolts, nice dub

  5. grimandnordic1

    1st star Sammy Mon-T’aime-Beau 🥰

  6. bcgrappler

    Fuck sergachev, fuck the refs, fuck tampa, fuck injuries.

    Actually fuck all of florida, fuck you too panthers.

    Go habs go

  7. HabsJaysRaps

    I hope the league takes a close look at Anderson take down on an open fucking net, along with that pussy fight after a clean hit.

    What a Mickey mouse club.

    Fuck Mikhail Sergachev.

  8. --JULLZ--

    Bolts are a bunch of pussies when they’re losing

    Sore losers and even worse sore winners

  9. VictorEnterprise13

    You can’t not feel good about beating the lightning, great win tonight.

    Also Monty is better than Vasilevskiy confirmed

  10. Sensitive_Ladder2235

    Monty is such a class act, I think he’s a permanent fixture on this team.

  11. burnSMACKER

    It’s not a Habs game unless one of our players get injured

  12. That was a penalty at minimum. Refs were bad all night.

  13. Laflamme_79

    So no automatic empty net goal, no penalty called, and the face off in the neutral zone.

    The refs really were trying to give Lightning the best possible chance.

  14. sean_psc

    Fun game, the boys played hard.

    Looks like the Flyers will hold on and beat the Panthers, so overall today was neutral on our hold on fifth place. I think think this has a good chance of scotching the chances of moving any higher than this, but ehh, can’t lose ’em all. Unless fourth ends up being the winning lottery position.

    I hope Josh is okay. I have no idea how that wasn’t a penalty, Sergachev basically did a wrestling move on him.

  15. Well Habsfriends, that was a good game, although it didn’t help out the almighty tank.

    Fuck Sergachev, Go Stars and

    #ALLEZ CANADIENS!!!

    Private Starsbro will be here Thursday! 🤠

  16. any_old_usernam

    Dirty play by sergachev there, really hope Anderson isn’t too badly hurt.

  17. I’m very much fuck Tampa, but if we tank this year we can fuck them for years to come rather than getting lucky

    I really wish we’d commit to the tank

  18. Another win, another season ending injury. Are we 1 for 1 with wins and injuries this year?

  19. bordercauley

    I support the tank but the Flyers winning makes this a freebie (4th last was unlikely anyway). Nice to see that Dach scored in his return, his development will be huge for the future of this team.

  20. DDDenver

    Flyers beat Panthers which is huge for us so that’s pretty cool

  21. realm_fury

    That was one of the worst non-calls I’ve ever seen. JFC.

    Monty played great! Fuck the tank tonight, I’m glad we beat them.

  22. SourMilk69420

    Columbus won, Chicago won, if Anaheim wins, nights a success

  23. Kidhendri16

    Fuck Tampa they needed a missed goal in the finals against the Flames a global pandemic and cap circumvention to win their last two cups

  24. RoosterVking

    Just gotta accept that we will pick at best 4th and at worst 6th, which all things considered, is pretty good. Not great, could have been better but good nonetheless!

  25. the refs need to be held accountable for shit like this. but no, if you say something you get fined! fuck this league, always disappointing fans.

  26. Spicy_Pickle_6

    I guess Andy had to restore the balance…
