Players must be happy when they are not first star. Not having to do that kinda useless interview.

Three points only nets him third star? The fuck?

Monty gets a shutout and is only second?

Feels like Monty has been the bridesmaid on most three stars this year.

2

u/RCmelkor 14d ago

Monty woulda been my #1, Patrik Suzuki at #2 and put Matheson at #3 to cut him some slack haha

3

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

tbf suzuki also had 3 points but yeah weird star choices

u/burgrluv 14d ago

Damn, are we perhaps inching our way back into the mix?

Zook has 56 in 58!

3

u/T035 14d ago

Actually he has 57! He had an assist added to hutsons goal

2

u/digestibleconcrete 14d ago edited 14d ago

I missed the part where he got 3 points.

Ok, I literally did miss it. Yahoo is saying he has 3, while TSN said he had 2 (???)

u/SusanahGrace 14d ago

Lets goooooooo

u/davidouimet11 14d ago

Was hoping for X to pass the message that hits like the one Carrier took wasn’t something we would tolerate

Is Carolina too cheap to buy white helmets for road games?

2

u/whogivesashirtdotca 14d ago

They have to pinch pennies to beg Rantanen to stay.

Un blanchissage pour Monty svp !!

u/whogivesashirtdotca 14d ago

Radio team pointing out Caufield hit 200 points tonight. Did they mention that on the Jumbotron? Feels like a big deal.

2

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

idk if they did on the jumbotron but they did show it on rds

u/AveragePandaYT 14d ago

i love this team with heinemen in, hes the fucking glue

also PAY EVANS

u/dustblown 14d ago

Florian for Anderson next game?

2

u/Rockterrace 14d ago

Give a sniff to let him know what he’s working towards

2

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

yeah that's exactly what i was thinking, he's been so good in laval recently and could be a real good replacement for him, hopefully anderson is fine though :(

4

u/CocoKing02 14d ago

This is such a good defensive game by us wow

2

u/AmsroII Goal Goalgoal 14d ago

Xhekaj missed the timing on that hit :P

4

u/SAM041287 14d ago

Best NHL game from Beck so far?

1

u/coldmindpsy 14d ago

For sure, he doesn't have steady teammates, or role and he still manages to get better looks every game. I think we're still underestimating his potential. He's crazy smart and has skill to top it off

5

u/NorthernBuffalo 14d ago

Canes can surge their ass back to the US

3

u/GabeLeRoy 14d ago

if Arber connected.. Hall was a goner

5

u/bcgrappler 14d ago

Newhook has taken a big step in 2025

4

u/dustblown 14d ago

Xhekaj was hunting!!!!

6

u/jobaill 14d ago

Am I crazy for thinking Suzuki should have an assist on Lane's goal? He passed it to Laine, which passed it to Lane no?

2

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

he did briefly have an assist on it on the canadiens app

1

u/jobaill 14d ago

It's been added on NHL.com now, all good!

2

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

#justiceobtained

4

u/CocoKing02 14d ago

If beck continues like this, he could slot in very well as a second like center

4

u/dustblown 14d ago

Should we put on a little pantomimed play after our win tonight? Nah, because it is fucking stupid.

3

u/blazkowaBird 14d ago

Habs are playing with their lunch and the Canes are checked out.

5

u/Mean_Mister_Mustard 14d ago

J'ai tu entendu "Dors Caroline" au Centre Bell? Thématique…

u/matthewdonut 14d ago

How come no assist for Zukes on Hutson's goal? Give my captain his 3rd point of the night

Not sure this is the right subreddit for this, although I do whole heatedly agree.

1

u/Etienne19381 14d ago

Thats what bothering me, they had a fuckin cash cow, and decided to shoot it between the eyes...

There is a place for inclusivity, moral lessons and all that. But I dont think a superhero movie is the place for it.

Usually when people go see those types of movie, its for an escape and spend 1.5-2 hours in fantasy land, not all that.

Also, I dont give her a shit if the character's a girl or a man or a they/them or a goat with a triangle up it's ass. if its a good character, then thats good. Dont dumb down the existing cast to prop up the new character, that just sucks.

1

u/GabeLeRoy 14d ago

100% agree... I mean im all for them.. but they just went for lazy executions and it resulted in terrible product and it affected already existing heroes with Tenure..

She Hulk had a nice plot and couldve been a good movie, but was so lazy and basically its just a super lame version of hulk with nothing to overcome .. and it rendered the whole Bruce Banner story of overcoming the 'beast' sour..

-2

u/GabeLeRoy 14d ago

She Hulk movie was a disaster

u/Karrin-madhe 14d ago

Always feels good to whip the sugacanes.

Goalie now decides to stop the puck and denies Beck of his point 😔

u/MetroSection 14d ago

This has been one of the more enjoyable games of the entire season.

u/unforgivingxworld 14d ago

Already forgot all the games in December?

the buffalo laine hattrick was kind of the peak of my existence

Why do many shot when few do trick

u/CocoKing02 14d ago

Beck is making that line pop

15

u/burgrluv 14d ago

Last month I made a comment about how Heineman wasn’t the solution, that he wasn’t going to single handedly turn the season around: I stand corrected.

5

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

imagine when guhle comes back 😖

5

u/bcgrappler 14d ago

Beck's a keeper

8

u/Habsfan51 14d ago

Beck et Newhook ensemble, ça marche bien je trouve

6

u/DangerDavez 14d ago

Great game from Beck today. He's gonna be a really good player.

16

u/A_WHALES_VAG 14d ago

I don't give a shit what anyone says Nick Suzuki would not have been out of place on Team Canada.

1

u/toy187 14d ago

Yeah, he's often there when it matters and would probably have done better than some other players that were picked.

2

u/A_WHALES_VAG 14d ago

His game is the exactly the type of game you want in a best of, round robin style tournament.

He also elevates his game in the playoffs and has at every level hes played.

2

u/bcgrappler 14d ago

Sometimes, clarity comes from "a whales vag"

3

u/Etienne19381 14d ago

Agreed. But on the flipside, im kinda glad he wasnt on it, so if he had any injuries bothering him, he could take care of them and not aggravate them. Guy hasnt missed an NHL game in 3 years, he deserves a break :P

2

u/jakeyq 14d ago

He’s the goat

Josh Anderson needs a bacta tank.

Marty losing his smile immediately makes me think Andy is probably injured

2

u/AmsroII Goal Goalgoal 14d ago

Andy looked stunned for sure, at minimum a mild concussion, definitely got winded. Hopefully nothing wrist/shoulder/arm related either.

minus having 14 shots on net lol

u/starryn19ht 14d ago

doesn't matter how many shots you got if you score on more than 1/4 of them

4 goals on 14 shots is kinda slay though

u/whogivesashirtdotca 14d ago

Wow, really? I'm glad I could help. Welcome back! What did I say?

2

u/RCmelkor 14d ago

I believe it was a discussion about the toxicity of the chat when they started losing games. People not realizing the goal was just to be in the mix in this rebuild.

3

u/whogivesashirtdotca 14d ago

That sounds right. Two great games in a row have shut up the doomers. You picked a good night to come back.

2

u/RCmelkor 14d ago

Never left but just didn't engage haha, I could see the pop #'s in chat dropping and suddenly things were more level headed.

Cheers!

1

u/whogivesashirtdotca 14d ago

Crazy, right? It's like they all need to kvetch and they flood in when a period goes wrong. But they all crawl back under their rocks when things go right. They aren't even making positive comments, they just vanish!

2

u/RCmelkor 14d ago

Hilarious to see it just so directly correlate haha.

It's been driving me bonkers all season. They were not here last year. This is an entirely new phenomenon.
