Brutal play by Kova on the goal against. Toobad, because we dominated all period.
Anderson might be the worst player on the team right now, and thats saying something considering slaf is also on the team
2nd shot of the period and they score, just sad
I missed it, was that delayed penalty actually deserved?
All our sophomore dmen minus Guhle have looked like hot ass
Kovacevic, do you understand how to play a 2on2
Fuuuuck what was that brain-dead defending from Kovacevic.
How desperate for attention do you have to be to work as a stadium announcer for a living?
PP goals against and goals with the other teams goalie pulled. Name a more iconic 23-24 habs goal against.
Lol everyone blaming Harris, guess he’s the new whipping boy. That was on Kovacevic.
Holy hell the team is looking lazy atm
Our second line is so so bad
That’s a bullshit penalty call on Pearson. Got shoved over!
dude was literally pushed into the keeper hows that a penalty lol
Thought it looked like Pearson got pushed into Hill for that delayed penalty but idk, they never showed a replay
Of course, delayed penalty call after being shoved into their goalie lmao
was the penalty supposed to be Goaltender Interference on Pearson? WTF was he supposed to do there, he got checked into the goalie by the defender??
I do not agree with the penalty… but even if it wasnt a penalty, they got a pulled the goalie goal… which we must be close to worst in the league at?
Everyone is shiting on Kovacevic
But that was one hell of a pass by Stephenson
Harris is mete lite
Awesome period for us – typical that they would score on their 2nd shot of the period. But that was an amazing long change road period
I like seeing Slaf battle in front of the net.
We’re still in it. Vegas mailing it in. Let’s hope they don’t wake up in the third.
Dude Guhle is the only D-man who can go a full game without making a catastrophic error
Thats the best 2nd period we’ve played so far.
Habs are dominating! Quick! Give them another bullshit penalty so our Golden Boys don’t look bad!!
I’ll take down a goal going into the third against a team that’s 8-0-1
They’ve looked good pretty much all game, and one mistake is in the net. Lots of game left.
Not a lot of emotion in this one. I’ll blame it on the 11pm EST start time.
Ahhh I see Harris is the new scapegoat around these parts.
Put slaf on the 3rd or put him in the A! He’s pissing me off so much
Both of their goals were some BS penalty shit, but I guess we can’t complain when we got that all time fail by Adin Hill lmao.
Marty was asked the neck protection question; he points out he hadn’t been wearing a visor when he took a puck to the eye and still doesn’t see well out of it.
Dach doesn’t like Halloween?
It’s okay,I still love you
You beautiful bastard
LOL KIRBY “i don’t like halloween” 💀
Way too many serial killers on the team saying Reese’s Peices are their favorite Halloween candy
Hey it could be worse. Chicago is down 1-7 vs. Arizona
Have played good enough to be leading , but the same guys need to pick it up in the scoresheet !!
Fun game so far, would be funner if they played a strong 20 here
Our 3rd is the best line tonight
wait so was the penalty called off ot they didnt even call it after all?
Cole you bully haha
Barron just saved one there
Just imagine if our 2nd line actually scored some goals
Where tf did Paul Cotter come from and why is he so damn good
I might be wrong but hasn’t our second line score on 2 goals this year ?
