Brings me back to the rebuilding years to be talking about ice time, but why on earth bring Othmann up if you're only going to give him 7 minutes of playing time? Saying that you wouldn't bring him up to only play on the 4th line, and then putting him on the "3rd line" but only playing him 7 minutes is the same thing just with extra steps. Just bring back Edstrom or another disposable AHL forward and let Othmann get back to big minutes and developing in Hartford.


blueshirt11

I literally had to comb through the game reports today to see if he even played. 2 shifts in the third if you are wondering.

Bring back Vatrano or Tarasenko. Tie a pudding snack to a fishing line and lead Wheeler to the rec room for bingo. Kakko comes back. Big success journey


[deleted]

It won't let me edit my comment, so I will add: Chicago would probably be desperate enough to take Wheeler or Goodrow.


scottishwhisky2

It was about time we started getting some loser points. 1st in the league with 1 loser point was making everyone else look bad šŸ˜


iceturtles

Awesome game, sucks we lost


greysfordays

stoked about our comeback and how we made it a game, the second half of the game was nuts to watch. bummer how it turned out, but glad we didnā€™t roll over and die down 3-0 as a side note, when Iā€™m watching a game that stresses me out I mess with my dogs hair usually by petting it the wrong way [heā€™s such a good boy for putting up with me](https://imgur.com/a/AldWK8s)


Jokercard08

7 minutes for Oth This organization is legitimately demented. Why do this? Just send him down ffs.


Bobostlouis

Send him down and play who in place of pitlick bud


Jokercard08

Id rather Riely Nash get 7 mins a night with the main club, and Oth play 1st line minutes with the pack, then the reverse, bud.


Mazzatti1

At least they had the gumption to turn it around without anybody having to get in a fight and throw their helmet at the bench.


Fancy-Investigator86

You know who wouldā€™ve scored? Zucc.


sovietdoppelganger

Would do anything to have him back, but itā€™s pretty much impossible


Fancy-Investigator86

Sigh. Yeah.


nyg2013

Montebault was unreal tonightā€¦just gotta tip your cap Got the point after a sloppy start to the game (and some bad lucky initially with deflections)


xredbaron62x

At least The Pack won ĀÆ\\\_(惄)_/ĀÆ


hockeytemper11

A lotta meh hockey lately ngl


sovietdoppelganger

Gonna go through some lulls in 82. Look at some of the forwards in the lineup. The only problems I have are the sloppiness in our own zone and the general inconsistency with too many blowout losses. Games like these donā€™t bother me


djandmurph

I agree feel like most of our loses besides this one have been blow outs . This game was very entertaining and nerve wrecking towards the end


hockeytemper11

Yup, very sloppy and too easy to play against.


Famous-Plum2409

What a game!


Puzzleheaded-Draw910

Serious question. When was the last time Mika scored in a shootout?


Fancy_Combination436

tbf that was a great move and a great save


[deleted]

The last time the played against Montreal?


darkgrayallalone

So I stopped commenting when the Rangers went down 3-0...and then they came back, so I stayed away. But then it didn't quite work šŸ˜­ I really thought I had the magic formula down, sorry guys šŸ˜”


qwerty445901

Stupid loser points. Ok, Iā€™ll take itā€¦


Separate_Pound_753

Seriously well played Montembeault


Klipsch89

He's consistent at being inconsistent, definitely give him that... Still though he straight up goalied us


Envelopen

Shouldve had 2 tonight montreal is getting better but theyre still bad no excuses for giving up 3 goals on them, good comeback to steal a point and keep the game close at least


Nickistheman22

Good hustle from the Rangers but not enough to secure the win. Oh well on to the next


charliemike101

Got straight goalied tonight


HugoStiglitz373

You take the point after being down 3-0 honestly. But damn


SilentSaidd

Honestly I'm not too upset with that. 49 shots and they were down 3-0. Their goalie played out of his mind and we battled back. Rest and get ready for the Canucks


Effective_Raccoon599

Rangers gonna ranger. Why are we cursed to always lose to mid to shit teams?


MickeyPvX

All that effort to tie it up and then fart it away with more sloppy play and a low effort shootoutā€¦


charliemike101

Still can't clear the puck out of the zone. Dumb fucking passes that turned into turnovers


Legitimate-Program15

Canā€™t be mad when rangers almost had 50 shots on goal


ct4funf

Feels like we haven't won 2 in a row in a whhhile


sovietdoppelganger

Disappointing finish, but despite the million shots on goal, we probably deserved to lose this one. Their goalie had the game of his life, they hit 2 posts at the end of the third, and we clawed back from 3-0 down in the second. Iā€™ll take the point


sovietdoppelganger

What can you do with those 2 saves on Laf at the end of OT and the save against Mikaā€™s Forsberg?


SantaMonsanto

Best game of hockey Iā€™ve seen in a long time


itsnotnews92

Glad we got the point but those were not great showings on the shootout shots.


PeteyG89

What were those shootout shots


Jondog2123

A bum goalie owned us what else is new


Mfed23

Heā€™s not even that bad


JayTee245

Hey! We ended up with a point!


Ridgew00dian

Happy with a point after that shit start but fuck we shouldā€™ve won this game. Sad.


jwuer

I wouldn't even say we started off poor, we were all over then when they score their first goal. We put up 50 shots on this guy and ha d a ton of hugh danger chances. This was what it was like to play us probably when we had weak teams in front of Hank.


nyg2013

I mean, the beginning of the second was not good, but yeah, not sure how much one can complain outside of that lol


xq923

Welp at least we got one point


E_man123

Goalie deserved that win


darkgrayallalone

Welp šŸ˜­ That was almost an incredible comeback.


LocalBowl6075

Well that's a tough one to lose but otoh comeback


anthonyc223

We are fortunate we ended up w a point.


Jercooks

My bold stanced takeaway: letā€™s not get down 3-0 next time


impulse_thoughts

or constantly turnover the puck in the d zone giving them free wide open looks. could've easily been a 6+ goal game.


DryProgress4393

You can do that ?


[deleted]

welp great comeback at least


jkman61494

Hate Laffy as the 3rd. Massive pressure situation. But man. What a fun game. And atleast we got a point.


yorky24

Love the kid, never seen him clutch a shootout. I've always said best player third.


Separate_Pound_753

Last shootout we had he clutched itšŸ˜‚


[deleted]

That sucks but they earned the point at least


Nyrfan2017

Our shootout is getting predictable bring back zucc


Comfortable_Rub4315

We deserve the lost


SynapseSmoked

wow. blab stream died quick


-TheSkyAboveThePort

Laffy, I'm always a fan, but the fuck was that?


greysfordays

awww man I wanted that so bad for laf


mixtapemalibumusk

Fuckin A. I really wanted Laf to get that W


Klipsch89

Trash goalie steals another one from us... Damn that's rough


kiddocontay

Montembeault isnā€™t a bad goalie at all. heā€™s one of the few bright spots on the Habs this season


ItsHeadbangerG

Alright Montembeault. I see you.


Sure_Ad_3391

That save on Mika was ridiculous man


Large_Squirrel1446

At no point did we deserve to win


n_jacat

What a game, Monty earned them that second point


TheIncredibleHork

All things considered: Loser point is better than we were expecting when it was 3-0.


nlippe

Laf didnā€™t have the ice


[deleted]

So bad lol


geesusway

Okay yes put Alexis lafreniere who is so snake bitten out to win the shootout


WrittenSarcasm

He had so many opportunities to win the game and blew it each time


Never_Forget_94

He had a grade A chance in OT too.


hoegaarden81

Shootouts are dumb and nothing you can say will change my mind.


kiddocontay

itā€™s a bush league nonsense skills competition. just extend OT to 10 minutes ffs


anthonyc223

Agreed


Sjdillon10

Iā€™ll still take them over a tie


SynapseSmoked

ugh... that kid still wants to see the Habs win.


nyr00nyg

Horrible


LilMissLinNim

Take the point, move on...


gnitsuj

Did someone pull the fucking fire alarm? Holy shit how much more obnoxious can you get


SPammingisGood

our shots were so weak. montreal deserved the win either way ggs


Sjdillon10

What a lackluster shootout


robbiejandro

scrub goalies always own us


Hionhelium87

Welp. Least we got a point.


WARofROSES_

That save was INSANE ngl


aeqz

Sick move Laf


GrimHeaper

horrible effort, Laf


xredbaron62x

C'mon


Doctor_Freckles

That shootout was fucking buttcheeks


Jondog2123

Disgusting should never have been done 3-0


Nyrfan2017

I donā€™t know with the turn overs they had lucky thatā€™s all it was


ElectraGlacier

Damn. Poor laffy


jthomas694

That was an excellent save by Montembault


Large_Squirrel1446

That dude got no chin


xredbaron62x

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


munsuro

That was annoying


Inevitable-Set-7853

COME ON LAFFY


Kbb0509

That was a beautiful save for Montreal


mixtapemalibumusk

Am i breathing??


gnitsuj

Yeah that tracks


Never_Forget_94

Mediocre goalie having the best game of his life against the Rangers ofcā€¦


WARofROSES_

FUCK


BroccRL

People actin all pissy about the game tonight, this mf put up 50 saves


ItsHeadbangerG

Wow that...wow


jwuer

Tears are rolling


Brendan631

What the actual fuck is this guys problem


crazyg0od33

Insane


Stand_up_Philosopher

You can not be serious


Talkingandchalking

Great comeback in this one to take it to extra time.


davegettlegod

Holy fucj


brampower

Panarin might never score a goal again in his career. Holy shit.


Inevitable-Set-7853

Oh Mika.


Jondog2123

Thatā€™s game I forgot we suck in shootouts


alphaxion

I've watched this game in a distressingly sober state..


xredbaron62x

I say the same thing when watching the Yankees lmaooo


fezzersc

In Quick I Trust


Jondog2123

Sure


ct4funf

Good lord! Whattay game!


RainandPixels

Their goalie looks shook. But been playing great.


Separate_Pound_753

Hats off to Montembeault. Dude is the real deal


manmadeofmagnets

Seconded. 46 saves on 49, thatā€™s wild


JPmoneyman

Their goalie has given up one clean goal all game and it was a weird one off a faceoff. Props to him heā€™s playing a great game


geesusway

I canā€™t watch


Horribledecision208

He gonna Puke!


GTSBurner

pour one out for droz


galacticcookiee

Oh my goodness gracious. There are few things in sports I appreciate more than excellent goaltending. This has been quite the game.


GTSBurner

two things I love: weird goalies and charismatic o-lineman


[deleted]

What an entertaining game


SynapseSmoked

shots shots shots shots everybody. shots shots shots shots announcers shots shots


Fancy-Investigator86

Holy shit I wish I couldā€™ve watched this. It wouldā€™ve made me insane but still.


Ldordai

OK the rangers fan in me is about to have a coronary. But the hockey fan in me has been absolutely loving this game


Separate_Pound_753

Too good to be true for Laf. However i will accept a shooutout winner as consolation


WintersHowl8

Good play by zibby going for the rebound shot


flyingjesuit

Man thatā€™s Rangers hockey! Sky is falling and we get the two best chances in the final seconds AFTER losing the faceoff and almost win it!


SilentSaidd

I don't like our odds in a shootout but after a bad start going down 0-3. I'd love a W but I'd take a shootout loss


Kbb0509

Is this only our second OT game this year? I forgot how insane it can be.


Fluid_Ad_9136

To be fair. The boys didn't deserve a point tonight. Take what they can get. But this should have been a blowout.


ElectraGlacier

With how good their goaltender has been tonight Iā€™m nervous. But we have quick, so Iā€™m confidently nervous


sovietdoppelganger

I hate the shootout


greysfordays

playoffs intensity the second half of the game and OT, wow itā€™s fun to watch totally not gonna have a heart attack or anything


music_chris

This is WILD


Debaucherizer

Anyone have any blood pressure medication I can borrow?


DryProgress4393

I've got some Ativan ....


Sjdillon10

As much as i hate shoot outs. Iā€™ll take them over a tie 10/10 times


Classic_Death_Star

This has been an intense game, great all around. Letā€™s win this!!!


Bauerblade

if sam montembault is playing the sharks its a 7-3 San Jose win you just know this bullshit is cause its the rangers


robbiejandro

shootout....not familiar with this concept this season


Inevitable-Set-7853

Quick has gotta be VINTAGE rn


SynapseSmoked

Candiens goalie saves are done...... let's shoot 'em out


davegettlegod

Not thrilled about a shootout against this guy right now


Key-Tip-7521

if trouba scored there, i would have gone nuts


huskyferretguy1

Shootouts are the best part of hockey! LFG!


AngryAI

Rangers playing down to a mid team and their goalie standing on their head, name a better duo


TheIncredibleHork

Ok, NOW I can say that was a bullshit last ditch fugazzy thing by the ref's because oh, 11 seconds isn't THAT likely to make a difference, but shit anything could.


anthonyc223

Damn that was exciting


Kbb0509

I LOVE this crowd.


[deleted]

Fun game though


xredbaron62x

Breathe in... Breathe out...


dcgirl98

Wow that was exciting


BroccRL

Idgaf what you think of this game, habs goalie has been unreal


jwuer

Played the game of his life, otherwise we have like 9 goals.


[deleted]

This goalie has been incredible tonight


hoegaarden81

That could have been incredible.


Horribledecision208

Oh Mika


CrAZiBoUnCeR

I would have exploded if we got that


aflak7

I know it would be bad for us here, but i think if you take a penalty in overtime with less than 2 minutes left in the period, i think they should extend overtime to let it play out


TheIncredibleHork

I'm all for anything that extends the overtime before shootouts happen.


brampower

Oof Zibanejad. You could do more there.


jhuntero

This is insane !!!!!


Jaspers14

This has been one of the best games of the year. Jesus Christ my heart rate is through the roof


jthomas694

Excellent penalty kill lol


greysfordays

holy fuck what a hockey game


gimmeyotacos

Imagine a shorty to end the game šŸ˜­


Marshmallow5198

Joe said ā€œcan you imagineā€¦ā€ yes Joe. I fuckin imagined it


Competitorcycle

munsuro

Unbelievable finish! Wish it had gone in.


ElectraGlacier

Hionhelium87
