    Great game, and Philly got a point too. Suzuki with two assists and Guri has earned a 3 mill bridge deal for 2 years imo, he seems like a younger faster Hoffman replacement that just scores.

  2. tehsdragon

    2p on the day for the Zukes, yessir

    I’m also just glad Barron keeps getting points, kid’s got a little something something

  3. Acidraindrops22

    Perfect tank game. Competitive, lots of goals and drouin on the bench. Just perfect

  4. cafespeed21

    Of course Habs media is gonna blow the Drouin thing out of proportion.

  5. Normal_Future2167

    What a game!! So happy!! Matheson is doing great and Barron too! But mann Sergachev is so smooth .. it hurts

  6. sean_psc

    It’s impressive how much this team can hang in games despite being missing, like, half the actual team.

    Gurianov continues to impress, and glad that Suzuki got two points.

    Glad that Anderson’s hand wasn’t broken.

  7. bcgrappler

    Solid way to tank.

    Gurianov gonna get a contract.

    HUTSON IS A MONSTER.

    Very important L tonight.

  8. howhighcanyouflyyyy

    Le tank is getting some serious downwards momentum

  9. WOW, Drouin didn’t even miss the meeting, he was just 2 minutes late…. That’s insane, I thought he had just skipped out on the whole thing

  10. TiffanyStratton

    2 points for zuk, a guri goal, an L for the tank and andy seems to be okay? i am happy

    unfortunate last minute turnover by ylo, but the game was already lost and i hope he doesnt get shit for it

  11. --JULLZ--

    Barron is good, Suzuki had one of them games where you don’t notice him too much but he has 2 points on the scoresheet. Matheson is dominant, Anderson is actually worth 5.5 mil now the way he’s playing. Good game for the tank

    Justin Barron is progressing well. Good skater, identifies opportunities to charge through the neutral zone with the puck, effective shots from the point. My biggest issue is that he really lacks the ability to clear the front of the net; he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body when he plays D it seems. For that reason, I think Barron and Xhekaj should – and perhaps will – be partners for the next many, many years. Their games complement each other well.

  13. Two points for Spooky Suzuki and another goal for Guri. Gurianov looking good so far, definitely don’t think Dadonov would’ve matched this production.
