    Extremely fun game. Wish we could have seen Arber beat the bricks off of essyimont tho

  2. Longshanks123

    Lame not to have Xhekaj out for the last shift, Marty is too nice sometimes

  3. hititpablo

    Anyone have the replay from Guhle injury? Missed part of the game

  4. alfgrimur

    Joined after the 2nd which I gather was challenging viewing, but all the excitement after was generated by the habs, so many exciting sequences in the 3rd. it’s going to be fun beating these snowbirds on the reg in a couple of years

  5. Throaway44009988

    If kucherov did that to say, jake sanderson, you bet your mind brady tkachuk wouldnt have none of that. Im seeing the “culture” in terms of never say die, but i cant remember the last time this group stuck up for each other

    This absolute bum tomkins will only have 2 wins to his name, and both came against us in the bell centre lol.

    RHP, anderson, ylonen, white… just so much deadweight

  8. AmsroII

    2 from Armia, 1 from Cole and 1 from Slaf. Gotta be happy with that much.

  9. douce_abeille

    I would love to see eyssimont try to fight xhekaj face to face if he’s that tough

    and do we know what happened to slaf?

  10. OnlineEgg

    zebras suck but the first line got points and the end of the game was entertaining so i’m happy

    side note: fuck kucherov and the rest of tampa i can’t wait to see them lose in the playoffs and return to the basement where they belong over the next few seasons

  12. RevengeofSudz

    As soon as I saw Tomkins was in net, I knew we were in trouble.

  13. ValleyBreeze

    Hey, won the 3rd, fought to the buzzer, and got some depth scoring going on (freaking stoked for Army’s 2nd half glow up. He has earned it). Tampa just capitalized on mistakes, and the refs like to give them a hand once in a while. That’s what they do.

    Their time is almost up. Their window is closing. The tables will be turning soon.

    Go Habs Go. ❤❤❤

    Plus: HOW ABOUT THAT FIRST LINE 😍

  14. Ziguezon

    Why is Marty not letting Xhekaj beat the shit out of someone at the end of a game like that to send a message is beyond me, but entertaining game nonetheless.
    Oh and Kucherov is a chicken shit

  15. NutUpOrPutUp

    Let’s play who’s more faded

    Me or the Habs?

  16. Habsfan_2000

    I really really really don’t want us to add points at this stage so good to give them a run for their money and collect the 0

  17. sean_psc

    Terrible officiating.

    The team managed to make the final ten minutes or so exciting, which was good. And the right people put up some points for us.

    Not Primeau’s best night on a few of those shots (even with the proviso that our defence typically requires goalies to be superman to not get lit up).

    Armia’s unexpectedly great season continues.

  18. CrashTestMummies

    Guess I missed a exciting 3rd but the Mrs was itching to watch the WWHC

  19. bcgrappler

    Cole, slaf, nick, newhook, armia all back next year, add Dach and maybe they can find another dach, newhook like deal.

    That with a real offensive threat developing in the minority with the 6th or 7th pick.

    Next year could be fun.

  22. bcgrappler

    Slaf has a real shot at 50 points after having 8 points in his first 30 games.

    What a second half.

  23. psykomatt

    With this loss, the Habs have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.

  24. epoidacapo

    Super frustrating game with all the penalty nonsense, but I liked the response in the third. Hope Tampa chokes hard.

  25. desole_japprends

    For anyone leaving that game: wth was with all of the closed exits and blocked streets?

  26. daysofc

    I’m not really too enthused about the young D. Guhle is the only one with top pairing potential but he seems to be getting injured more frequently. Xhekaj, Struble, Harris are 3rd pairing D at best. Maybe the Habs have “depth” at D but it’s not meaningful if there’s nobody who is remotely close to being the next Markov/Subban/Weber. Habs better hope a couple of the hyped up prospects actually pan out to be at least top 4 D. Out of the young D (except for Guhle) currently on the Habs I don’t see anybody even coming close to being a good 2nd pairing D.

  27. zzzzoooo

    I hate Kucherov, and hr has 3 points tonight. I want to see MK or MD winning Art Ross.
    I hate Bolt, and they keep beating Habs. That makes me sometimes hating Habs too.

    In a tank season, I’m fine if we lose, but not agaisnt Bolt.

  28. lacoupe25

    My son is playing nhl22 and Slaf just scored his 78th goal of the season.
