They heard you

Insane to me that Primeau looks like he could be a Vezina winner when he's in Laval, but as soon as he's in Montréal he can't stop anything.

Hurricanes style of okay is pretty boring, but if it works...

It's not even that it's not a penalty (it was 100% a penalty).
It's the fact it won't get called 9 times out of 10 and suddenly it's called. Make it make sense.

Nate makes it 2-0 Avs quickly in the third!

Manson opens the scoring on the PK for the Avs, great play by Logan O'Connor.

This game is insane man

Me after 5 minutes of Avs/Stars game 7

He got Strome's stick right in the face as well, neck definitely got hit too. Hope he's not too banged up cause that looked fuckin rough.

I never like seeing injured goalies, even if it helps my team. That's rough for Thompson

Habs MVP tonight has got to be Brandon Duhaime.

Yes!

Pain.

I didn't even see him in the pile HAHAHHA

Aight Xhekaj, wanna show why you're there? Knock out Wilson. Fuck him up real good.

BIG BRAIN LANE

Maybe I didn't see well, but looked like he was hooked big time

Sandin's last name starts with S, close enough for the refs I guess

CARRIER!!!!

I mean... it could also be nice if a certain defenseman could like... look at the play...

Wishing you two a fun game and a Habs w!

This is gonna age like milk

What do you mean retcon this? He always had a trident, and his brother has a flail.

Hell, I'd argue the package would have been even higher since Ritchie projects to be better than Beck/Struble.

No point in moving pieces for this year where the Habs are a fringe playoff team. They're not one Brock Nelson away from being contenders.

9. Refs won't call most things, which might honestly help Xhekaj do better overall.

10. I don't like our odds, but there is a chance that Habs win this serie. In any case, that'll be a great learning experience for them.

7. Matheson will need to wake up for the Habs to have any chance in this matchup. He got better as the game went, but can't be playing like that in the first 30-40 minutes.

8. Hutson looked good after a timid 1st period. He's quick to adapt which is always a sign of a great player.

5. Slaf can and should give morein term of physicality. He's shown flashes during the a few occasions but he needs to be more consistent.

6. Carrier might be our best defenseman so far. Well positioned, takes good decisions with the puck. He definitely has the passion.

3. Demidov was much more quiet tonight, hard to learn NHL hockey in the playoffs.

4. A lot of inexperienced players seem surprised by the level of physicality tonight, they'll have to learn the difference between regular hockey and playoffs hockey.

Key takeaways from game 1:
1. If Laine looked disinterested during the final few games, he definitely wants to win in the playoffs. Most intense he's been all year.

2. Monty did what he had to do. If he keeps it up, he's giving the Habs a real chance to cause an upset.

Same, and worth it
