Montreal are getting dominated now. Defense are making mistake after mistake

Awfully panicked scrambly play. I could see them blowing it. Next goal wins

Thankfully it's 1:30am here, so I won't see the total collapse

4-3, almost there.. the defense is atrocious. Not sure what the Habs saw in Mathieson

Kova takes a penalty with 80 secs left. Going to be a 6 on 4 powerplay. Based on the defensive play, it's gonna be hairy

Maybe we do miss Savard. It's been a fire drill most of the night

Blew the game after all... 13 secs in, Mathieson blows a tire and coughs it up. Back of the net... just bloody AWFUL defense

Nah. Both are teams with issues and the goaltending was awful.

4-3, almost there.. the defense is atrocious. Not sure what the Habs saw in Mathieson I've been saying for weeks now that Math is a liability. He's a great skater but has no IQ for the game and is constantly making bonehead plays: 1) what was with the needless icing with a few seconds to go!; 2) should he really be trying to beat a guy in OT when you're last man back - just get possession and settle things down.

If this keeps up it be a habs home game... Andrew must be loving it Oof! Well the first period was fun. Feel like they let up after the first and opened the door for a comeback. Should have been an easy win after that first. Monty would like to have a couple of those back for sure. Matheson blowing a tire in OT didn’t go well. Oh well. Great atmosphere at the game and it was fun to see Caufield score from his office, and Suzuki pot one.

Don't know what to say after that train wreck. The kind excuse would be without the 2nd line centre in Monahan we got nothing after the first line. Defence is bad. Harris has been a struggle. Kravs is not an NHLer. X has a lot of learning to do. And Math gives me a heart attack every time he's out there as I wait for the bonehead play that will end up in the back of our net. He's now a -5 in 7 games

Monty was pretty damn good .... in the first period.
But that defense, that defense does NOT handle forecheckers very well. When they have an obvious way to get it out, they continuously choose to shuffle it to the blue line, or back into a worse situation. It's very hard to choose who is "worse" when they are all doing it, but Harris and Matheson lead the Bonehead Brigade

This IS what the "tankers" wanna see. I'm just not sure what they learn by blowing 4 goal leads.

Yikes. 7 goals in about 25 minutes. I've seen some big blown leads lately with other teams but c'mon.

I went to bed 4-2 Habs. I watched the highlights over breakfast and, man, St. Louis and Robidas cannot be happy. Basically the boys got sloppy with a lead. There were too many instances of d-men overhandling the puck, and hence delaying the breakout. Perfect can be the enemy of good.
Also, the forwards lost some board battles near the defensive blueline, which may have further contributed to the nervousness of the d-men.

But there is no excuse for Maths. He's just a dumb and high risk player without the skill to overcome those traits.

Damn....we got a point. Rebuilds are tough to watch at times. Lots of Ls coming up this month, I expect...and accept.

In fairness to the defense, playing two rookie defenders on their off sides is not a recipe for success. At least one goal resulted from Xhekaj’s inability to clear the zone from deep in the corner on the right side. 3 seconds later it’s in the back of the net. Probably a play he has no problem with on his natural left side.

I decided that we won’t be in the running for first overall so I started cheering for the team to improve and make the playoffs. My bad. They need to improve to make thirtyfirst overall.
