Habs 2026 Playoff thread

[east coast]

Bro, are you really complaining about Dobson's game tonight?

Yes. Didn't like his clearing attempts under pressure. He best stay away from trying to softly backhand it along the boards. Aside from that, I'm also not completely sold on the player yet, unlike some.

No words.

 

[Krustchev]

It was gonna be a bumpy re-entry.

But he does take up space on D and has a good active stick. And, crucially, he reduces the load for Matheson and Guhle.

Guhle is a hot mess out there.

 

[Habsy]

Dobson was good tonight. First game back in almost a month with an iffy hand? You’re missing the many plays he did well in your analysis.

Yeah, WTF?

 

[Krustchev]

Arber will draw back in on Wednesday too. Struble out.

 

[Rolex]

Sabres are more physical, and bigger.....do we put Veleno back in ?

 

[lecoqsportif]

Guhle is a hot mess out there.

Yeah, poor decisions and brutal pinches. But then makes super courageous shot blocks and plays big on the PK.

All over the place.

Kap imo

 

[Habsy]

They’re not more physical than what the Lightning threw at us in the first five games. Where do you get this stuff?

2 assists on the night. There’s that.

I'm remembering last game we played against them.....they were way more physical than Tampa was

 

[Krustchev]

2 assists on the night. There’s that.

Yeah . . . but he was still bad overall.

 

[lecoqsportif]

2 assists on the night. There’s that.

Yeah. He was very inconsistent.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah . . . but he was still bad overall.

Could be worse

And nowhere near as sophisticated a game experience + savvy + defensive awareness

No Cirelli + Vasilevskiy for starters

Will be lots more open space

You could be right, and were in the rink. I clearly remember the plays I didn't like.

 

[Krustchev]

The Lightning are dirty and cheap but Buffalo plays a more physical game.

 

[Rolex]

thank you NHL/US Networks for starting the series on Wednesday.....an extra day of rest

Go to bed, old man
