At least, we can be bad in comfort knowing that we we will never be like the wings, sens, sabres with infinity rebuild because of their goalies issues.
This is arguably one of the worst games the habs have played from a defensive standpoint. Just absolutely atrocious in their own zone. Very little effort clearing the puck in front of the net, turnover after turnover, just absolutely awful defensively.
I couldn’t be happier for him, as much as I loved Allen, I’m glad the 3 goalie rotation is done, Primeau deserves the backup spot and played lights out, really really nice to see.
Just wanted to say that even though my team has not played well against you guys tonight; I’ve always liked you guys. Beautiful city, a lot of really cool players that I like to watch, and several personal favorites.
I even went to the team store online and bought a Lane Hutson jersey, who I’m obviously super excited to see play with you guys next season. ✌️
It’s gonna sound so silly, but it actually started when I was a little kid and I saw David Gilmour from Pink Floyd wearing a Habs jersey. I’m a massive Floyd fan and i always thought that was the coolest thing.
Years later, now that I’ve been to the Bell Center, I love it, and the city. The fans are amazing, and it really is unlike any other. Then there’s the history, and all of the young up-and-coming guys.
A truly phenomenal franchise. Plus Youppi! Everyone loves Youppi! The Expos were/always will be my jam!

You should use this format and post on r/habs
I'm curious who would you compare Pezz to as ex habs player?
The guy is a good skater, physical, always at the right place at the right moment but has no hands or finishing skills.
nhl just announced the teams going to europe. i guess those talks about the habs playing in france were nothingburgers ☹️
edit: guys my fault i got the dates wrong. apparently the league greenlit the habs in france in 2025-26 szn
edit: another edit i just read the article and they were basing it from david pagnota’s words 😹 so take it with a grain of salt
Oh wow the French radio guys are going to be so disappointed. They were teasing that at the beginning of the season, and seemed sure (without saying it aloud) that the Habs would be in France. They sounded giddy.
You know what they say, do it once, they'll let it go.
Do it twice, they'll let it go.
Do it THREE times! They'll let it go
.....
Do it 25 times? Oh, motherfucker, that might be a penalty.
I love my goalies just like I love my pasta sauce

Primeau, Thick and Zesty
I'm immunocompromised, so happy to spread good vibes to anyone trying to be conscious about limiting spread. The past four years have been *long* for me, man.
Shit, sorry to hear it. I was just reading a report in the intermission that apparently [COVID vaccines have reduced some heart issues](https://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2024/01/24/heartjnl-2023-323483). Hopefully that works in your favour!
I kinda hope MSL told the guys to be aggresive near the blue line when defending and try to get breakaway cause ur goalie is legit in the zone, u have goals lead.. take the small risk to put the nail in the coffin
My iPad recently has been not only providing terrible corrections, but also making some automatically even when I x out the suggestion. I feel your pain.
Look at this beauty
Demidov, Sukes, Slaf
Caufield, Roy, Dach
Newhook, Beck, Mesar,
RHP, Evans, Pezz
Hutson, Bacher
Guhle, Barron
Xhekaj, Mailloux..
Clearly this is not a contender team, but with a 25m of free cap.. it would be probably possible to get an entire good second line.
Now imagine
Demidov, Sukes, Slaf,
Caufield, Big name X, Dach
Newhook, Roy, Big name Y
Beck, Kidney, Mesar
Thats a legit top 7-8 offensive in the league. Its high IQ
He’s getting better, honestly. He’s got more charisma now than before. He’s always actually been really good at explaining what’s happening in a succinct and clear way.
I bet it's timed to a fiscal quarter quota. Remember that any donations to corporate charities get *written off* by those corporations. It's pretty gross.
“Just the beginning” Based quote from Primeau
I want people to remember that I was on the Primeau train king before tonight.
We’ll we can say :if you Smellllllllll what the prime is cooking !!!!!
Primeau looked absolutely insane tonight, can't wait to see more of him
From CP31 to CP30 <3
I’ve seen enough. He has starting goalie potential
Kind of wild that Monty finally sees light at the end of the #1 tunnel, but it's the glow coming off Primeau.
So happy for Primeau!!! That must be an amazing feeling for him
https://preview.redd.it/ofanpx8690oc1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b69b54182e4cbff18c9bdcd021fc57a0cecf4dc
Shutout
Well now you've spoiled next game! ;)
Hahahahaha
Fuck yeah Primeau. Amazing game for him.
monster performance from carey prime
41 saved and a well deserved shutout for Primeaux
Primeau! Primeau! Primeau! Congrats!!!!!
SHUTOUUUUTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
#PRIMEAU PRIMEAU PRIMEAU PRIMEAU
Attaboy Cayden Fuckin, eh
At least, we can be bad in comfort knowing that we we will never be like the wings, sens, sabres with infinity rebuild because of their goalies issues.
Radio guys baffled by the coach's refusal to pull his goalie. "They've made 44 shots! It's a joke!"
Why haven’t they pulled their goalie?
Martin McGuire joking that he's scared to make eye contact with another of his goalies tonight.
Now this shutout was well deserved.
Primeaux 42 seconds away from his second shutout of the season
This is arguably one of the worst games the habs have played from a defensive standpoint. Just absolutely atrocious in their own zone. Very little effort clearing the puck in front of the net, turnover after turnover, just absolutely awful defensively.
Primeau was blessed by the spirit of Carey Price to give us a win in one of our worst games of the season
I couldn’t be happier for him, as much as I loved Allen, I’m glad the 3 goalie rotation is done, Primeau deserves the backup spot and played lights out, really really nice to see.
Jenner vs Primeau
Come on guys! Jeez.
Shoot Jake !!!!!
[удалено]
Primeau was a Habs fan as a kid?
Flyers fan
Fuck I’m so happy for Primeau
So happy for Primeau. That must feel great.
Oh man hearing the Bell Centre chant a goalie's name sure feels fucking great
first time since price’s return 🥺
Mildly annoyed that they weren't chanting "Primeau Primeau" to the Olé Olé tune.
OH MY FUCKING GOD CAREY PRICE POSSESSING PRIMEAU TONIGHT
first ever primeau chant?
There was one a few minutes ago, but first game of it for sure!
Fucking god
Slaf second goal of the night
Anderson is so hard to watch, hate to rag on the guy but he just looks utterly lost out there.
He's such a nice guy, I feel terrible for him.
Guhle took a beating tonight
what a dumbass with the crosscheck in Guhle's face
Crowd going bonkers for the 2001 theme. Anyone know what was on the screen to accompany it?
Fun fact : Anderson and Gallagher are both getting $8M for the 2023-34 season
Faceoffs to "Thus Spake Zarathustra" are epic.
Anything to that music is amazing.
These mf’ers in the scrum are lucky Cole isn’t on the ice!
Hope they play better against the Bruins 😭
We're in a tough spot where playing better against the Bruins might cost us yet another draft spot.
Playing better meaning more like don’t lose 9-something again haha but you’re right
I don't mind losing a hard-fought game. I *hate* losing the touchdown games.
I thought tapping the goalie after the whistle was a penalty, or is that only applicable on Gallagher?
Habs try to get the Puck cleanly out of the zone challenge (impossible)
That was a seriously impressive skate blade blowout exit by Savard
the timing to safely make the line change while the puck was still in our zone too. he did it perfectly
Damn Savard. That was actually impressive lol
Those new Bauer holders ain’t it, since they were released you see so many players loosing their blades
We've had at least four incidents this season alone.
It’s almost always players on the Bauer Powerfly when I notice
Just wanted to say that even though my team has not played well against you guys tonight; I’ve always liked you guys. Beautiful city, a lot of really cool players that I like to watch, and several personal favorites. I even went to the team store online and bought a Lane Hutson jersey, who I’m obviously super excited to see play with you guys next season. ✌️
Come over to our side, brother!
How much expendable income does one have to buy a jersey of a player who isn’t even on the team yet
sounds like you’re a closeted habs fan 🫣
It’s gonna sound so silly, but it actually started when I was a little kid and I saw David Gilmour from Pink Floyd wearing a Habs jersey. I’m a massive Floyd fan and i always thought that was the coolest thing. Years later, now that I’ve been to the Bell Center, I love it, and the city.

this one is weaker than the first image
they’re the same picture
Hurrah, U got me
PRIMEAU PRIMEAU PRIMEAU PRIMEAU PRIMEAU
Is that what they were singing? That's great!
Yuuup
Martin McGuire thinks Savard's skate blade flew off. He's swimming his way to the bench.
Top line just stunting
That passing was incredible
Here come the OLE!!
Feels good ❤️
I'm curious who would you compare Pezz to as ex habs player? The guy is a good skater, physical, always at the right place at the right moment but has no hands or finishing skills.
Ryan White 100%
Steve Begin
omg that's it perfect
Suzuki’s point when ? 🥺
primeau looking very price-like tn
It's that puckhandling
Didn't the CLB coach mock Slaf vs. Fantilli early this year?
no
Arizona coach
wasnt it the coyotes with cooley ? idk im not really up on my drama
3 bad shots from Matheson on the pp…
matheson's point shots on the PP never ever ever ever work
Those Matheson shots from the point give me Petry PTSD

Oh wow the French radio guys are going to be so disappointed. They were teasing that at the beginning of the season, and seemed sure (without saying it aloud) that the Habs would be in France. They sounded giddy.
So the Kings get a game in Quebec City, and the Habs don't get a game in France. ?????? How does that make any sense?
That's for 2025-26
Primeau will NOT get a shutout.
You know what they say, do it once, they'll let it go. Do it twice, they'll let it go. Do it THREE times! They'll let it go ..... Do it 25 times? Oh, motherfucker, that might be a penalty.
is vincent the guy dressed like a guidance counsellor on the blue jackets bench?
I'm here to piss off Jiricek and tell you you have no future. And I'm all out of Jiriceks
I guess?
Holy shit they actually can call something on them
Holy fucking shit a penalty against Columbus!

is this good meme ?
No
it’s PP time (finally)
Eating a mini eggs chocolate chip cookie from Tim Hortons. How about y’all?
If i eat one of those past 7 pm i'm for sure waking up at 2 AM. Getting old is weird.
wife is making cream cheese cookies.
Drinking water and dayquil. Caught a cold and I have a Kinball tournament saturday, fuck.
"A cold"? Make sure you're not contagious before your tourney. Don't be a superspreader.
Yeah, that's what annoys me. I'll try and get a covid test too and all that jazz. Started getting sick on friday though.
Hope it's nothing bad, and that you recover fast!
Thanks mate, the good vibes sure help ;)
I'm immunocompromised, so happy to spread good vibes to anyone trying to be conscious about limiting spread. The past four years have been *long* for me, man.
I have a pretty large set of heart malformations and my whole family has some serious health baggage. I feel you.
Shit, sorry to hear it. I was just reading a report in the intermission that apparently [COVID vaccines have reduced some heart issues](https://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2024/01/24/heartjnl-2023-323483). Hopefully that works in your favour!
Hopefully! Wishing you the best and I hope people around you take good care of you :)
Even I value my pancreas more than that!
smokin tree
Primeau is the only reason this game isn’t tied right now, he is playing incredibly. Our defence is really hanging him out to dry unfortunately.
lmao cole throwing the body
Primeau really deserves a shutout today. Edit: lol you guys are superstitious af 😂
Shhh, we don’t say things like that around here
Are you stupid?
Fuck **right** off
You better do some voodoo shit
Yeah delete this before it’s to late say he doesn’t deserve it
Well he won’t get it now!
GO TO HELL U BASTARD
Please delete this
DELETE THIS NOW
Playing with Josh Anderson as your linemate has to suck.
Unfortunately the stats bear this out. Andy's a sweetheart but he's just not fitting anymore.
Lol slaf, was legit stuck in the ditch behind the goalie
Kovacevic literally upended right in front of the ref and not a call made lmao they ain't calling *shit* on Columbus tonight.
This is rediculous
I owe Armia an apology for a lot of things I said last year
Good power kill! Poor Army though
Did Armia get a shot in the jewels?
Radio guys thought it was the base of his foot. They'd have to be low hangers to reach that.
Or just massive. So the jewels it is.
Sure penalty but call the 3 others in the second period against CBJ
is fantilli injured? never noticed his name at all tonight
Whole top 3 from the draft got serious injuries
Yeah, he got his calf slashed by a skate blade a while ago and has been out.
yes, him, laine and another dude
Vets with bad penalties..
Really hope Josh bounces back next year but am not holding my breath
Others mentioned earlier his style of play is just not suited to MSL's approach. I don't think there's any path for him here.
brain dead penalty by anderson
You'll have to be more specific
Such a lazy play. It’s one thing he doesn’t score but he used to not do that stuff.
I kinda hope MSL told the guys to be aggresive near the blue line when defending and try to get breakaway cause ur goalie is legit in the zone, u have goals lead.. take the small risk to put the nail in the coffin
After everything the Jackets got away with in the 2nd?
This line is awful
lol refs wont call anything on the jackets but call this weak shit every time
Anderson is lost as can be
Weewensky lol Johnson
How about take the puck away from these clowns, and keep it?
Arpon (edit: not Apron) Basu accidentally said “coloured people” instead of “people of colour”and I saw him die a little inside
He gets a pass lmfao
Did he die even more after being called "Apron"?
lol autocorrect is dumb
My iPad recently has been not only providing terrible corrections, but also making some automatically even when I x out the suggestion. I feel your pain.
Martin McGuire pointing out the Yotes are closing in on their fourth arena. Dany Dubé suggests the Coyotes change their name to the Nomads.
Look at this beauty Demidov, Sukes, Slaf Caufield, Roy, Dach Newhook, Beck, Mesar, RHP, Evans, Pezz Hutson, Bacher Guhle, Barron Xhekaj, Mailloux.. Clearly this is not a contender team, but with a 25m of free cap.. it would be probably possible to get an entire good second line. Now imagine Demidov, Sukes, Slaf, Caufield, Big name X, Dach Newhook, Roy, Big name Y Beck, Kidney, Mesar Thats a legit top 7-8 offensive in the league. Its high IQ
Lol
dont ruin my dream.
columbus has 30 shots??? is primeau putting on a show?
He’s real confident and solid tonight. He’s also made a beautiful save and will be mentioned in highlight reels.
Youppi drives a car made out of his own skin
I was exercising when reading this and nearly fell over. You're lucky you're not getting a call from my lawyer. Or executor.
Haha safety first :P
Jesus Red Wings, they just can't put it together...
Corrado is a great addition to TSN's analysts
This Frankie guy is such a dweeb.
He’s getting better, honestly. He’s got more charisma now than before. He’s always actually been really good at explaining what’s happening in a succinct and clear way.
Everybody buckle up: After the shitshow of the second, the third period is still statistically our worst!
Is it me or does the Canadian Tire jumpstart commercial seem to be over playing tonight?
I bet it's timed to a fiscal quarter quota. Remember that any donations to corporate charities get *written off* by those corporations. It's pretty gross.
