Habs had a tough time scoring goals against the Red Wings but keep in mind, two of their top five goal scorers from last season were out of the lineup.
#Habs #Demidov #Kapanen

New coach for the PK. Expect growing pains.

Not sure about the PP. Except no #Demidov.

It’s game day today! #CarolinaCultre v #GoHabsGo

Time for payback for the #ConferenceFinal. Maybe #Flo draws in w #Demidov out.

Who scores 🏒🥅🚨 the 1st #Habs goal?

#Newhook 🚨! Just feel depth will score.

Reminder: 0/2 🥴

Also, final score prediction?

#CarolinaCultre 2-3 #GoHabsGo

Reminder 0/2 🥴

Day 7 of the #NHL season

And the #GoHabsGo are IN a playoff spot!
🥳🎉🎊👏🍾🍻

Dropped down to WC2. But the 3 of the 4 teams up on the #Habs have played more games.

So, really important to bank points tonight. Won’t be easy v #CarolinaCultre. & #Demidov out 2-4 weeks.

Days in a playoff spot: 7

As others have pointed out, #Demidov definitely dealing w something.

#Carrier at practice is a good 👍 sign.

#GoHabsGo

Final OT.

Missed call on #Demidov. Has to go to the bench. Creates a 2v1 the other way.

By not making that call, the #refs cost the game.

At least they get a point. Lots to clean up.

#GoHabsGo 5-6 #LetsGoPens

#Demidov gets his stick sawed in half. No call.

#GoHabsGo

#Demidov 🚨!

Can you believe this f*cking team?!?

An icing. #Danault wins the FO.

#Suzuki great seam pass to #Demidov.

#GoHabsGo 5-5 #LetsGoPens

#Silvos really anticipating the #Demidov 1-timer.

Take a mental note.

#GoHabsGo

I had #Demidov setting him up, so not exactly the same 🥴🤷‍♂️.

#Slaf
#GoHabsGo

It’s game day today! #GoHabsGo v #LetsGoPens

#Habs have had trouble with the #Pens in the past. A mistake tends to end in the back of 🥅!

Who scores 🏒🥅🚨 the 1st #Habs goal?

#Slaf 🚨! Off a feed from #Demidov!

Reminder: 0/1 🥴

Also, final score prediction?

#GoHabsGo 5-4 #LetsGoPens

Reminder 0/1 🥴

#Demidov trips up #Matthews.

#GoHabsGo get to work on their PK now.

Awesome 😎!

Awesome 😎!

#Slaf with some good moves on the line, gains the zone & dishes to #Demidov. He takes the slash.

Then the #Habs possess the puck & get a great look off the 1-timer from #Demidov.

#GoHabsGo to the PP w a chance to tie. Time to make it count.

A lot of passing on that PP. Couldn’t complete to get a really good look.

Best chance was #Caufield cross crease to #Demidov, but #Grieg read the play well & tied up #Demidov’s stick.

#GoHabsGo

End of 1st.

It’s the Lane #Hutson show. By far the best player that period.

I liked #Demidov. #Engstrom I thought made some good plays. #Reinbacher was solid again.

Lots to like that period, as the #Habs dominated.

And yet … 🙄

#GoSensGo 1-1 #GoHabsGo

Here’s who impressed me tonight.

While #AXhekaj was not perfect, what really impressed me was his ability to stick handle & move the puck under pressure.

#Slaf also not perfect, but he was confidently possessing the puck.

#Demidov looked more confident possessing the puck.

#Reinbacher was solid.

Final.

#Habs A win! 🥳
#Habs B win! 🎉
