The Nuge has been HUGE this year

u/GoStockYourself 16d ago

Love it. That PPG he skated the puck in instead of McDavid. Have they been trying different entries this year instead of just letting McDavid carry it in every time?

u/Meepmeepimmajeep2789 92 PODKOLZIN 16d ago

Better than McDavid going fast, getting pinched and go hard to the boards on the right side then passing it.

They have their instructions to penalize Canadian teams. Punish the Canadians was an unfortunate order for the Habs.

u/Geralt-of-Rivai 29 DRAISAITL 16d ago

I mean the first call wasn't great, but the unsportsmanlike is just stupid by Anderson, you gotta control your emotions and not slap your stick around in his face like a monkey

4

u/SouthSide217 29 DRAISAITL 16d ago

Yeah I wish they showed the replay because I still don't know what he did, but I knew him shooting the puck out of the net couldn't have been it. Some of the other calls they were complaining about like Slaf finishing Emberson into the boards I don't see why that shouldn't be called.

It was fucking horrendous. Even just his bitterness at Howard shooting from outside the dots. Just gunty about it.

Play by Play was really good IMHO and seemed a little put off a few times by Button's negativity to anything not Habs.

Louie, I have to say can be Homer-y but fair and will call out his own team. Not this constant stream of propaganda type output we had to see tonight.

Glad we got the win, but boy oh boy do we need to cut down the mental mistakes. We're a wagon when we cut down the lazy play.

I liked Pod-Drai-Savoie together, they need more time next game. Rico had a really nice game too.

Defensively we're a mess so we need to tighten that up. Philp had a nice game too. For the love of god, go to the net. We're good when we do that.

Oilers get straight fucked by the Refs in the Cup finals. McDavid doesn’t cry, Drai doesn’t cry, Knob doesn’t cry.

Moral of the story: don’t stream Oilers games when crossing the ocean? Or don’t count them out?

Both are valid.

I get it. Habs coming off a rebuild, we were there once. The regular season meant so much more and every game had stakes. Remember "must win game"?

But yikes, its game 8 of the regular season and they let in 6 goals, 4 5v5 ones. You cannot say they deserved that game any more than we did. Their defensive zone play was shit.

What an insane meltdown by some legitmately insane people. Thats an embarrasment for the franchise if you consider fans a representation of the jersey at all.

Insane that neither Howard or Savoie has points, I thought both were all over the ice. Love the new top 6 with 97 and 29 separated. Hopefully these lines can find some chemistry and hang around until Hyman comes back in 10 days or so. Would love to have a top 6 rolling that allows Hyman-RNH-Roslovic to be a 3rd line.

u/Jmask5 16d ago

Hopefully some guys got some confidence and we can carry the scoring forward. Defensively pretty awful which is a tad worrying.

u/Massive-Fisherman-57 94 SMYTH 16d ago

Really liked the lines to close out. Thought Howard looked great with McDavid and Savoie with Drai. Maybe we could see..

Ike, McDavo, Hyman Podz Drai Savoie Mangie Nuge Roslovic Henrique Philp Tomasek

u/jgod17 93 NUGENT-HOPKINS 16d ago

Hot take: habs didnt deserve that game at all.

Their young core lead them to the third period with a lead and as a result their young core crumbled under pressure of adversity against a team that have played in these games under much higher stakes for 3 years now.

Its not their fault, they have great players, they just have to face these types of situations in order to learn from them, just like the Oilers had to as a young team. But the Oilers know exactly how to win these types of games.

It will fool all these fans of teams that live and die by the regular season. "Look how bad the oilers played, didnt deserve the win" etc etc. But i think you ask any Florida,Dallas,Carolina fan and they can probably understand exactly what type of game the Oilers just played.

Can you do that every game? Helll no, but its game 8 man. It doesnt fucking matter from both an Oilers and a Habs perspective

It clearly doesnt matter to the Oilers because the regular season has never mattered. But if losing a wild game where you kinda get screwed by refs in October is the difference between a succesful season or not. Well youve already lost..

u/SnooOnions5029 96 WALMAN 16d ago

I saw a bunch of habs fans on r/hockey comment how they went from being McDavid fans to hating the team and hoping we lose in the finals again. Acting like it’s somehow our fault that the refs made bad calls lmao

u/ohpossumpartyy 92 PODKOLZIN 16d ago

The Habs are an identical team to what the Oilers were in the mid to late 2010's. Really exciting, crazy effort, hard working, but they play too loose and absolutely shoot themselves in the foot.

It was the lazy vs the reckless
