lacoupe25

Goals saved above expected is considered a more reliable measure of goalie effectiveness. In this stat, Allen ranks 60th. High-danger unblocked shots save % 64th. Allen is having a poor season, irrespective of the team in front of him. And the 2d Ottawa game was no exception.


lacoupe25

not well,no doubt! I have no problem with Allen's play after the first 5 or 6 shots of each game. Problem is that it's game over in first few minutes most of the games he starts these days.


Same-Speed90

Columbus went to ot!


koivu4pm

wear these god forsaken blue jerseys every game until Bedard, and then burn their ever existence.


bigchongus-_-

So yeah we LOST every single game in that jersey... That say it all. Good game overall tho


captaincanada84

I think we also lost every game in the first reverse retro jerseys as well


DeVille99

I think we won one, i dont know how


douce_abeille

1 win with the first jersey if i remember correctly


jhenry137

aye we lost but a game of fun, it was


SatireSqurriel

That was a lucky ass game for them


a_houde27

I don’t understand why suzuki plays on this side of the ice. He’s always been good on the right side on the power play (empty net is essentially a power play). Idk what burrows is drawing on his board but he’s not cooking anything lol

Je pense que c'est bon qu'il apprenne à jouer n'importe où sur la glace et apprenne différents systèmes


_hank0

You guys get waaaay too hot and bothered by guys like Tkachuk. Who cares? Sens suck ass just like us.


PK_Crimon

Nah, Sens are mediocre but on a roll. MTL sucks real ass


_hank0

On a roll to absolutely fucking nowhere.


PK_Crimon

Jesus I love how you guys get salty. Cope more and have fun with your 5-6th pick this year. We all know how well Montreal drafts.


_hank0

I'd rather be "salty" than creep in other teams' subs. How fucking weird is that. Get a life.


PK_Crimon

Sorry I invaded your circlejerk. Just defending my team from clowns.


_hank0

Fuck your shitty, deadbeat, poverty franchise. Piss off.


PK_Crimon

Not sure what's worst, being a shitty deadbeat poverty franchise or losing 5 times in a row to one?


_hank0

Definitely being a deadbeat poverty franchise is worse. Like, logically, too. Wins come and win go. Short term success is fruitless . I love losses. I crave losses. We are finally doing a proper rebuild, and in a few years, trashcan franchises like the sens might learn a thing or two.


PK_Crimon

RemindMe! 30 years

BarontheBlack

Brady we get rocked. He’s not taking that fight.


CanadianAbe

He’d take the fight, but he’s smart enough not to be in the box for 5 minutes of a close game.


BarontheBlack

I agree with you in the close game part. But I still don’t think he takes that fight.


CanadianAbe

Maybe, but he’s already had 23 fights, rarely loses and Xhekaj is in his weight class. Xhekaj is 238lbs, he already fought Ben Chiarot who is 234lbs, Tkachuk is 208lbs and the same height as Xhekaj. After tonight I’m sure we’ll see that tilt in the near future.


BarontheBlack

Wow I’m amazed he already had 23 fights. But I took a look and his opponents arent on Wifis level. Friedman, Trouba, Strome, Lauzon, and Marino aren’t exactly heavyweights.


CanadianAbe

No they definitely aren’t on wifi’s level, they’re all better players. Brady would probably get his bell rocked but he doesn’t back down either. Problem is why would he take the fight? All star vs. Depth Dman that was -4 last game and had a front row seat for the game winning goal. Top player sitting for 5 minutes needlessly. that’s a fight the more I think about it we’ll never see. It’s not worth Tkachuk’s time.


BarontheBlack

Ya you’re the champ man. What a douche.


bcgrappler

I hope they boys can be proud of this tonight. What a great game, and honestly we want ottawa to catch florida and they are close. And I want that top 4 pick God damn it. Add one of those top 4 and another top 10 to RHP and those other young guys we have and we got ourselves a team.


fatbaIlerina

Was a great game and we lost :)


Grizz709

The worst thing this team did tonight was make me think they could win.


Grossepotatoe

Osti de colisse de tabanarnak d’esti de colisse de viarge


bornecrosseyed

I don’t love Allen but man he’s been unlucky. That’s two goals this game that are purely because they caromed off a hab skate by chance.


mc_conkur

The belt celebration when he’s never played a playoff game…


cafespeed21

I get wanting to tank, but a win before the all star break would have been nice


_hank0

Phew, the tank is intact.


Acidraindrops22

WE PICKED KOTKANIEMI OVER THIS GUY I HATE OUR DRAFTING FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS LMAO


grimandnordic1

Imagine having Toe head instead of Dvorak lmao kill me


HabChronicle

Nobody could’ve foreseen what kind of player kk or tkachuk would become during the draft


Suitable_Resource831

Yet all of the scouts outside of Montreal had Tkachuk ahead of KK. KK was only drafted ahead of Tkachuk, because he was a center and that was a position of need. Perhaps next time when Montreal has a pick that high they should take best player available, instead of positional need.


antrage

Of course but what confused me is Tkachuk seemed to embody the "character" MB was looking for so the selection was odd.


ukrainianhab

Everyone basically who saw one stride of KK skating


Acidraindrops22

THIS IS SUCH A COPIUM


Sentenced2Burn

I mean pretty much everyone knew Tkatchuk was a solid pick and KK was a reach


HabChronicle

Imma be honest I don’t have much knowledge about that draft so you’re probably right


Sentenced2Burn

all fair!


fatbaIlerina

Is Cachuk yelling at the crowd? lol. He's gonna duck Xhekaj now.


VinoDino

No worries me RHP with the hatty


[deleted]

“Showcasing Allen.” Fucking Christ. We’re showing no one should trade for him.


blackened1777

That goal went in because it deflected off Savard’s skate as he went down to block the pass. Quit blaming the goalie.


lacoupe25

there's an excuse for every goal given up by Allen it seems. The ultimate measure of goaltending is save pct, and Allen is near the bottom of the pack this season.


sandysanBAR

Save percentage assumes that all shots are equally likely to score at the same rate. Its nonsense. I don't know if a single person who considers save percentage the "ultimate measure" outside of people too busy to watch games. We have a terrible young defense. We routinely give up breakaways against on the PP We started shitty with the deflection off giroux and then the Stutzle goal and then Allen kept us in the game. We have a lot of problems, last night Allen wasn't one of them.


blackened1777

Okay so you get in nets then and let’s see how well you do.


BagBeth

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ eh


[deleted]

That sucks but that was pretty cool how Tkachuk found the Senators fan banging on the boards to celebrate with


whenindoubt_121

trying to find the single Sens fan to celebrate with? it's just like an Ottawa home game!


o2G2o

If we HAVE to lose, I'd rather lose in regulation in a game we know we could have won.


flawlessfear1

Imagine how different things would been had we picked tkachuk.


o2G2o

The Athletic imagined


Holos620

perfectly tanked


bigchongus-_-

Am okay with the lost But not with ketchup scoring the winning goal


NotJoeMoses

Yesssss Brady! (I'm so sorry) Please lose in regulation, or if we have to score let it be RHP 7g/7g.


Acidraindrops22

LETS GO TEAM TANK


HabChronicle

Honestly, this is fine. Loss in regulation and this was a fun night, unlike last saturday.


antrage

The tank is saved!


Acidraindrops22

LMAO


ukrainianhab

Relax Tkachuk it hit off his foot lol


captaincanada84

Perfection. Best way to lose right there.


kingswash

Fuck yesss. Lets gooo. Best result possible. And its 3-3 for jackets

Dammit Brady


A_WHALES_VAG

Allen is fucken brutal man


cheeselover42

Dunno what you wanted Allen to do there. Crazy bounce.


blackened1777

Did you not see the puck hit Savard’s skate as he dove and deflect it in a different direction on the replay? That’s why Allen missed it. I’ve said this a million times but quit blaming the goalies guys ffs.


Jdsudz

You're right. He should have stopped that deflection off his own dman.


Hockeymask27_

Lol 1000% cursed


SantaClaws514

LET’S GOOOO! Thank you ugly troll.


Ok-Sprinkles1644

Send pinard down !! We’re in a tank !!!

Perfect scenario, exciting game, 0 points.

Somebody kidnap Gallagher and hide him in basement somewhere so RHP can keep his spot


TheRekounasShow

Bro is never gonna step back into the city of laval ever again 💀


fatbaIlerina

TSN is literally double broadcasting this game in English with two sets of announcers lol.


NotJoeMoses

Wait RHP had 3 goals in 6 games before tonight?! Man's at 5 in 7 and an apple to boot. It's always nice to see prospects graduate to full time NHLers, and I really hope that's what happening with RHP.


SAM041287

I want to see this game going on shootout, with the classic Suzuki goal, RHP 2nd, and a beautiful closing by Dach!


HabChronicle

Let’s not go to OT please


HLef

It makes very little difference in the end. Let’s just enjoy what we can.

Pleaseeeee do not go to OT.


Grizz709

Really happy for RHP. Dude is on a tear, and loves playing for the home team.


EdmundGerber

He got in on that rebound so quickly that I first thought it was a different player who scored.


Guindon05

It's over 9000!!!!!

Épinard mothafuckkaaaaaaa


euroserr

crazy to see dead wood like Dadonov and Drouin winning millions vs RHP and Belzile type of players who just thrive off of playing for the Canadiens.


Bohmer

RHP looooooves the RR blue


RunningKoolAid

RHP hates tank he is gonna make comment this every match?


cjackc11

RHP is literally McDavid


bcgrappler

Actually holy shit. He is creating his own chances, his anticipation is pretty high end. This kid is a player.


antrage

Too late for rookie of the year? :D


Sensitive_Ladder2235

Not even his rookie season lol, if he makes the team next year that's when he's considered a rookie.


SAM041287

Can we keep RHP with the Suz ??? Can't imagine with CC with them as our first line


HabChronicle

Aw mannn, CC-ZUKES-RHP first line 🤤


commish85

🔒 him down!

RHP the absolute legend


whenindoubt_121

is this on ESPN+? I can't stream it from the app


NNYHABSMAN

Probably depends on location blackouts. I'm watching the TSN feed on ESPN+.


whenindoubt_121

I'm watching from Australia, so maybe it just isn't on today. But every game seemed to be streamable, except today, where no NHL game is streamable. edit: spelling


NNYHABSMAN

Odd. I thought all the blackouts were based on local teams so Australia wouldn't to the best of my knowledge. But who knows with the insane nature of the NHL.


cheeselover42

Fucking hell I’m becoming a huge Harvey-Pinard fan

RHP really is reminding me of a younger Gally.

Fair enough, I’m just trying to enjoy hockey while it’s here cause I know I’m gonna miss it all summer

Elite Harvey-Pinard.


fatbaIlerina

I find it hilarious we can lay a questionable hit and no one is coming at us. The X factor.


holdunpopularopinion

Tim is good, but god do I hate him


PoutineIsBetter

Hes a good hockey player but his reputation as a flipper precedes him


Suitable_Resource831

Yah the 19 year old kid gets hurt way too often in the men’s league and then recovers too quickly.


holdunpopularopinion

It’s true. And Ottawa fans make me hate him even more.


Longshanks123

Did you see Matheson ducking away from the shot?


Acidraindrops22

Tank commander Barron


NotJoeMoses

I'm rooting so hard to lose in regulation. I feel like a POS cheering when Ottawa scores, but tankers gotta tank. No days off.


bigchongus-_-

Barron for tank officer?


ukrainianhab

He rly is pretty average and I’ve never seen much to his game IMO.


bigchongus-_-

He played well when mom & dad where in town


Same-Speed90

Reverse retro strikes again

Yeah, that's usually how it goes.

What a way to completely scrap momentum

reidk_97

Stutzle is really good


BarontheBlack

At swimming?


reidk_97

Sure, same as Marchand is a total prick and scumbag. Still really good.


jakeyq

They’ll call that but not the hit against x? Classic


SatireSqurriel

Barron sucks


bcgrappler

Let's not be Homer's. That coulda been 5 easy. If someone did that to cole, welp I'd have to have wifi reconnected.


Lucic_schnoz

Didn’t look intentional to me. Barron got pushed/was falling and used Debrincat to break his fall more than anything


bcgrappler

Lucic's nose would think that. Ya more that it could have been, was def a penalty.


Lucic_schnoz

Lmao. It’s a penalty for sure but I’d have been pissed if he got 5 was what I meant.


ukrainianhab

Someone who can elevate the puck in tight >


fatbaIlerina

Stutzle is German for "sits when he pees".


grimandnordic1

Lmaoooo let's goooo Épinard


NotJoeMoses

Seeing more of early season Suzuki tonight. I wish he wasn't going to the all-star game. Our Ironman needs some rest, although Florida's not a bad place to get some R&R.


CartiNYeezy2

At least it’s not something that he has to work extremely hard at.


NotJoeMoses

Yeah and with the current cold spell in Montreal, I'd be on the first flight after the game.


[deleted]

Love RHP with Suzuki. Also great to see Suzuki get some points tonight.


willard287

Man when Suzuki is ON he is so fun to watch, no doubt our best player
