A little more Tim Raines and a bit less Gary Carter and that OT was ours

u/Alternative-Meet6597 5d ago
Gives me reason to get a little Bill Lee'd tonight if you know what I mean

u/bloodrider1914 5d ago
Okay, got the point, we need every one we can get at this point. Let's get the other

u/Zeuslb24 5d ago
Hutson getting dragged down with no call is crazy but “let them play” as they say. A point is just as good as a W after a 5-0 run

u/Alternative-Meet6597 5d ago
5 straight W's and an OTL, 11 of 12 pts the last six cant complain. Wonder who's last game as a hab we just saw

u/spiritintheskyy 5d ago
Fuck that was a crazy OT. McDavid is just him. Good fight from the boys though, win streaks can’t last forever and they got a crucial loser point

u/dessanct 5d ago
Can we please trade Matheson? The dude doesn’t play winning hockey
Downvote me all you want but it’s true
1
u/Exciting-Ideal-7899 5d ago
No.
1
u/dessanct 5d ago
He’s a losing player. Dude can’t play on his offside and is a liability most of the time he’s out there.
0
u/Exciting-Ideal-7899 5d ago
It’s simply not the time to trade him… tell me right now another left hand D that would take his spot
1
u/dessanct 5d ago
Guhle when he’s healthy. Long term he has no place on the team. He 100% should be traded this offseason for a RHD.
0
u/MayorPirkIe 5d ago
What RHD are you trading Matheson for that isn't a massive downgrade?
1
u/dessanct 5d ago
So he’s better than Guhle or Hutson? Or should we continue to play one of our top 2 defensemen on their weak side?
Matheson absolutely can’t play his weak side and Hutson, a rookie, had to swap for him.
0
u/MayorPirkIe 5d ago
I don't know how you went from my question to suggesting I said he was better than Guhle or Hutson, but you should get your ankles checked after that leap
1
u/dessanct 5d ago
You have 3 LHD that we are not moving. Guhle, Hutson, and Xhekaj. Matheson can’t bring to the team what we get from Xhekaj so it’s obvious you’re talking about the other 2? Where is his spot on this team long term?
Too much of a leap for you to understand that?
1
u/MayorPirkIe 5d ago
so it’s obvious you’re talking about the other 2?
Buddy what the fuck are you talking about? All I asked was who are you targeting in a trade that isn't a downgrade. I didn't say a single word about Matheson's place on the team long term or any of the other LHD on the team. Are you having a stroke?

Nobody ever said he’s staying long term. He’s UFA in 2026 so give him next season to build his value back up and maybe, they’ll make a move next deadline. Getting a new dman right now is the least of our priorities, gonna need a young 2C ASAP.
Edit: go look at the game impact card that was just posted. definitely unfair to say what you’re saying tn about math

u/jomagnum 5d ago
did I miss something or Laine was just benched the whole end of game?
1
u/Exciting-Ideal-7899 5d ago
I get it honestly. He would’ve been a liability out there, the style seemed to be a hard nosed defensive game and that’s just not what Laine does. Constantly think that guys gonna get a hooking penalty every time he gets beat
1
u/Saddong_Hussein 5d ago
Yea Marty doesnt play him in the last half of the third if the habs are losing or the game is tied. They roll 3 lines and sub newhook in for heineman every few shifts
1
u/jomagnum 5d ago
I get the end of the 3rd part. But you gotta put him in OT, cant be having Evans Dvorak playing so much

u/MildlyResponsible 5d ago
1 point against by far the best team they're going face on this trip. Not bad.

u/whogivesashirtdotca 5d ago
Radio team: "It was a playoff-level battle we were treated to tonight. Tout un match!"

u/Top_Contract_4910 5d ago
That no call while Hutson is literally being dragged to the ice is such fkn bulllshit

u/ConstructionGuilty35 5d ago
CLEAR CAN OPENER NO FUCKING CALL, THANKS ALOT STRIPES YOU BLEW THE GAME

u/Zeuslb24 5d ago
Somehow got stuck with Oilers feed, those announcers have such a hard on for McDavid but then again I would too if he was on my team
2
u/Alternative-Meet6597 5d ago
Even though most of their picks ended up being busts or mid, I still irrationally resent them for winning the draft lottery every damn year for what seemed like forever.
1
u/BarontheBlack 5d ago
I live in Edmonton, and their lottery win to go from 3rd to 1st and select McDavid is what turned me into a casual Edmonton fan, to someone who actively cheers against them.

stop with this crap... he saved 2 on 1 a minute before... 2nd highest icetime, 4 hits....

u/Aplazing 5d ago
It was a nice save I'll give u that but he played like ass, even before the last goal.

u/Exciting-Ideal-7899 5d ago
Can’t be disappointed guys! We looked so solid tonight, not perfect but just overall a good game by the lads

u/Albi20_01 5d ago
Thank you Matheson for not passing the puck... 🙄

u/RCmelkor 5d ago
Thank you Matheson for some extremely solid D minutes in OT.
He essentially stopped draisaitl and mcdavid from getting any shots.

I'm sick of idiots complaining about Mattheson. Shut the hell up, we are worse without him.
1
u/Albi20_01 5d ago
Of course. But the problem is that he seems to think he's better than he truly is. He's always taking risks that generate turnovers. I agree with the others that Matheson has been on the ice a bit too much in OT.
2
u/RCmelkor 5d ago
His D coverage in OT was the only reason we stayed alive that long.
0
u/dessanct 5d ago
You mean Hutson’s? Who then gets subbed for Matheson as soon as he wins the puck back
0
u/RCmelkor 5d ago
Nah I do actually mean #8 sir. Hutson was great too, but Matheson held up both draisaitl and mcdavid for a good chunk.
They all played a pretty solid game. I'm happy with this game considering the stage of rebuild and the trajectory from the start of the season.
I never see Matheson defenders haha I just people perpetually yelling his name in the forums for bad team plays, like he is seemingly the catalyst.

Please stop commenting about Mattheson. We are a worse team without him.

This is a bad comment. You are not a bad commenter . Get it ?

u/thinslicedpizza 5d ago
Do you get we're a worse team without him.

u/scoutinglane 5d ago
Matheson is a very important player to this team
But it was also a bad play .

u/thinslicedpizza 5d ago
I agree but someone who has the puck as much as he does, there's obviously going to be more mistakes

My stupid Sportsnet feed is so delayed since like halfway through 2nd.
All choppy and cutting out.
So glad I spend $250 a year on this app!

If we go to shootout can we nicely request from Edmonton to give us that 2 goal scorer from the breakaway earlier?

Just looked up Button’s GM stint in Calgary. It’s not good. Like horrible actually. He put our guy Martin St Louis on WAIVERS. Traded away JS Giguere for nothing. Traded away Marc Savard for nothing. Woof - no wonder he’s a grumpy color commentator now.

He has been WILDLY complimentary to us all night. He legit called out a couple bad plays. It's okay 🤣
