Perry is everywhere! Didn't you know? He transcends time and space.
He's now reached the point where he can play for several teams at once.

Danault has been a problem. Prone to brain cramp.

Amazing game for Dobes, Slaf and Hutson.
They're the come-from-behind kings. Now if they couod just avoid falling behind in the first place.

You really don't want to start on that one, clown

Take your misogyny and park it somewhere else. Zero patience here with anonymous incel trolls.

Todd: Where would Canadiens have been with Kopitar instead of Price? In an alternate draft universe, Kings star would have fit beautifully as the captain and No. 1 centre the Habs sought for nearly 20 years.

Ha! It might be.

The Habs need this game tonight and they've lost 9 of the last 10 to the Kings.
The race is tightening. They're still in a good position but that could erode in another week.
They need to defend and they need some saves.

Dobes would be grabbed on waivers in a hearbeat, Montembeault in a minute or less.

07.03.2026 22:08 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yep.
It was after the Dobes game against the Sharks that I thought there's no way they get past the first round.

Thanks for some sanity guys.

Ha!

I didn't say he wasn't ready. I assume they're trying to give him a full season + playoffs down there, meaning they don't think he's ready.

Sweet. I haven't even been to half those places.

07.03.2026 15:39 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Also true. He's bloody awful and he's going to cost them a playoff spot if they don't stop playing him.

07.03.2026 15:37 ๐Ÿ‘ 4 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

"Some" doesn't cut it when you're a goalie. An unscreened shot from Radko Gudas with a skate literally on the blue line? That's a backbreaker. We're not being nearly hard enough on this guy.

07.03.2026 15:36 ๐Ÿ‘ 7 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah well. Stats.

Gave up a goal 20 seconds in, review saves his butt, 19 seconds more and he gives up another one.

And Radko Gudas from the blue line. Guy with ONE GOAL on the season. Unscreened.

He's bloody awful. They can take their expected goals and shove 'em where the Corsi don't shine

I am deeply grateful to my editors at the Gazette for allowing an old man to go on typing.

But honestly, they don't pay me enough to watch Sam Montembeault play goal.

07.03.2026 13:56 ๐Ÿ‘ 85 ๐Ÿ” 2 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 18 ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Yes they do play better in front of Dobes. When you have no confidence in your goalie your legs sag. When you watch games live from up in the pressbox, it's visible.

God yes. Thank you for saying exactly that.

I woke up punchy. Iโ€™m so sick of these motherfuckers and their bombs and their rapes and their violence.

We could be happy. We could have nice things like healthcare and childcare and UBI. It actually wouldnโ€™t be that hard.

Goaltending!

It's what the Habs don't have at the moment. Apparently, it was not the fault of the goalie coach.

Dobes is still raw and Montembeault is by far the team's biggest disappointment this season.

Thanks much, John. (Also, sounds like one helluva assignment! We had a few, back in the day.)

My column ahead of the game when the Canadiens face Anze Kopitar for what is almost certain to be the last time.

Here we go with the mansplaining. Demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on here.
