Beautiful feed from Oliver Kapanen to Alex Newhook in the slot, and it's 5-3 #Habs

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 15h

COLE CAUFIELD. AGAIN.

#Habs erase a two goal deficit and take the lead back in less than six minutes.

THE ABSOLUTE MITTS ON COLE CAUFIELD FOLKS.

3-3 #GOHABSGO

3-3 #GOHABSGO

Just quality bottom six hockey here. Hard on pucks. Evans gets it to Gallagher, one touch for Anderson, and he pots it.

#Habs get one back, still down 3-2.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 16h

Pretty damn impressive for Juraj Slafkovsky to take a Bouchard clapper point blank, then skate away like it was a mosquito bite.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 16h

Alex Newhook makes it 1-0 #Habs, and Evan Bouchard throws a tantrum over it, so it's also a Habs power play now.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 16h

Here's what the refs were looking at. It's close, but definitely not clear evidence of a goal.

Ivan Demidov loves a trap game. Feeds Mike Matheson to end it.

#Habs take two points

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 1d

What the hell, Dustin Wolf...

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 1d

Lane Hutson, man.

Another good stop by Wolf.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 1d

The power play finally strikes!

Nick Suzuki with the sauce to Bolduc, and he hammers it home, 1-0 #Habs

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 1d

Jakub Dobes? Gets called for a high stick?

Completely accidental but it is a good call by the ref.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 3d

Good forecheck by the #Habs, Newhook gets it to Hutson joining in from the point, and he has his first goal of the year.

3-1 in the third.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 3d

First chance doesn't go, but Noah Dobson gets it back and makes the second one easy on Juraj Slafkovsky. 2-1 #Habs

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 3d

Great work by Carrier to hold the line, and this isn't what Demidov drew up, but it is why you drive pucks to the slot - Oliver Kapanen finishes it.

1-0 #Habs

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 5d

Xhekaj and Carrick with a long scrap. Call this one a draw.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 5d

Xhekaj and Rempe with a few gloved jabs at each other.

Feels like a matter of time before the gloves are off.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 5d

Ivan Demidov draws a penalty by being incredibly frustrating to chase around the offensive zone.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 8d

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 9d

Ivan Demidov slams the brakes in transition, fires a beautiful pass to Alex Newhook to make it 1-0 #Habs

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 12d

Mad scramble here, Rinzel knocks his own goalie over, and Kaiden Guhle gives the #Habs the lead with 15 seconds on the clock.

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 12d

Bolduc on a very sustainable pace of 82 goals this season.

2-1 #Habs

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 19d

Cole Caufield gets the least Cole Caufield style goal of his life.

#gohabsgo

Matt Drake @drakemt.bsky.social · 19d

Big brain move by Lane Hutson.

Braces like he's ready for contact, slams the brakes and hops to the other side, pinning his check and allowing the Habs to take possession.
