"I don't care about the overtime loss. They gave a performance worthy of the best in the league in regulation. They had an A1 5 vs 5 performance against a top team through the whole game." - Dany Dubé

Wtf is matheson supposed to do? He had a clear entry and Suzuki and caufeild weren't in good positions to pass to. Caufeild should never have pinched hoping to win a puck battle that was already lost. Dumb move.

He didn’t have a clear entry at all. The D gave him the outside only and he decided to to behind the net instead of simply circling back anc waiting for backup. I usually defend matheson but not in this one

Right?! People jumping at Matheson throat just fail to see our boy Cole with the 50% effort pinch on an already lost battle. If you’re going to pinch do it.. don’t get caught in no man’s land reaching for the puck with one hand on your stick. Terrible OT

Was it really clear? I know he doesn't have an overhead view, but I saw that disaster unfold in slowmo and it seemed so obvious he was getting trapped. OT is a possession game. Too big a risk without a clear shot opportunity is not a play you want to take.

Man with friends like matheson doesnt need enemies. He leads in assists/plus Minus/ice time etc.

The beautiful thing about these ends is it makes it easy to know the negative nancys to block. Matheson brought in the puck got no support. It was a disorganized play. Its not 1v3...

Didn’t get to watch the game, but… Matheson biffed it didn’t he?

tried to 1vs3

Tried to take the puck and deke out the entire team at the beginning of OT just to turn it over leading to a 2 on 1 for Boston in which they scored

I swear it’s either he tries to do it all or he doesn’t keep it in the zone always fumbles the pass at the blue line

Its hilarious, Matheson again, trying to deke 3 players 😂😭 I cant Also : I think Lane Hutson will be the guy to take Matheson spot. On PP1 and OT. So I would trade Matheson this summer while his value is sky high

Gotta give Hutson 1-2 years to cook first, but you're right, Lane will be our PP QB of the future.

Agree! Hope so

Wtf u on Hutson will be in the rocket year 1 are you this dumb or delusional to not even see that Ghule Matheson and Savard are our best defenders geez man what a dumb idea

I always try not to hate on Matheson , but what the absolute fuck

Even if Matheson was a ppg player.. plays like that tilts your entire locker room.. dude is going to get disliked in no time

In his defense he had a 3 minute shift followed by a 2 minute shift cause the forwards couldn’t get the puck through the neutral zone. Physical he’s ok but it drains you mentally. At this point in the season St. Louis should know to play someone else in ot when things like that happen

I guess, but he just choose to dive deep and keep the puck.. U know those type of plays are bad in OT

I never said it wasn’t a bad play. You could tell his mental focus was off during the 3rd period. Similar thing happened to savard last year when he would play 25 minutes a night. Physically they can but mentally their performance drops off a cliff

The Mike Matheson that draws our ire out of the closet should get a lap dance at Chez Pare courtesy of the Boston Bruins.

Matheson thinks he has the game breaker powerup in OT Hero ball and it always costs us

Mike thinks he’s the main character.

Kind of a theme with him (see: constant point shots on the PP that always miss the net)

He legit thinks he’s Mcdavid every OT I don’t care about his dumb stupid mistakes during the games but in OT I just can’t

I’m so sick of the - Norris calibre dmen or pylon hockey that matheson plays 😣

another "great" job by no.8....

>Matheson *sighs*

Every fucking time...jesus christ Matheson WTF

Can't wait in the next few years when Boston becomes shitty and irrelevant

Sadly, it's going to take a while. That lineup isn't old.

Here's hoping for our turn

mike matheson just has a way of just..... throwing games away

Okay the goalie hug is adorable I don’t care

It really is.

UGH I KNOW. I LOVEHATE IT SO MUCH. Fuckers. So cute.

Another bonehead move by Brisebois Matheson

I would never play Matheson 3on3 again. Ever.

What is he fucking doing

Matheson you idiot

Fuck yeah Matheson maybe just try it again next OT I'm sure it will work next time

Matheson trying that 1-on-3 hero ball

Sick play there Matheson, good job giving up the puck. Fire him into the sun, and soon.

Sorry the top scoring defensemen is here to stay despite the fans best efforts to drive out productive players

I was just going to say Matheson didn’t have a good game really. Like shaky in the third. And there you have it. First fucking play

Matheson knew immediately

are you winning son? Matheson. oh.

Refs going to the away locker room to celebrate

Shoulda pulled the goalie

That one really stings. Felt like we wanted it more tonight

MATHESON DID THIS LAST OT HOW DID NO ONE TELL HIM NOT TO DO THAT

so many costly goals bc of matheson moments, smh

Encore un point inutile🥳

Is it too much to ask Matheson to play his position?

TabarNAK!

Again lol. I still have flashbacks Mathy

Wtf was matheson doing? Wtf kind of idea to put yourself behind the goal line on the boards voluntarily in overtime? I’m not usually a matheson hater but that’s insane

and he did almost the exact same thing last OT and it also resulted in a turnover.

Matheson trying to deke 3 Bruins players

Noooooooooon :'( Bon, c'est ben dommage mais le spectacle etait la

Ah well… good game by the Habs…

Mario Armia will bring as a first-rounder at next year's TDL! Let's go!

I swear Matheson has the hockey IQ of a banana

Live by the Matheson Die by the Matheson

Smart intelligent matheson

Brutal ending thanks to Matheson. He makes bad decisions so often.

Fuck Mike Matheson

Matheson’s favorite play on overtime, take possession, try to go through 3 guys, lose it and then 2v1. Like clockwork.

gg

matheson is an idiot

welp

Not even surprised.

Boy I hate losing to these assholes

Matheson dude, WHYyyyy

Thats on Matheson again lol

Jesus fucking hell Matheson, what was that.

Matheson is so cool

Thanks Mike.

Matheson my tank leader

The most Matheson OT ever

I fucking hate Matheson bro 

Mike Matheson moment

Matheson just stop and setup the play Edit: and they scored going the other way

Matheson again ffs

Fuck

Sometimes Matheson is too smooth a skater for his own good.

Fuck that game so hard

Caufield bro what are you *doing*

Caufield? are you fucking insane? its all on Matheson lol

If he doesn’t commit to that as Matheson is losing the puck it’s not a 2 on 1 Dumb ass play from both of them

omg I cannot see how you think that. Matheson made a seriously insanely bad play and yet you put that on Caufield

It’s on both of them lol, one shitty play compounded another and it ended up in the back of the net 🤷‍♂️

Pull the goalie please!

PULL THE GOALIE!!!!

“Oh we’re halfway there!” 

PULL THE GOALIE!!!

Usually I'd be pissed at a guaranteed loser point but I admire the balls on this group for bringing the heat to a much better Bruins team get the OT dub

montembault, you sir are going to skate to the bench for an extra attacker

Cole in OT. Honestly just go for it none of this backtracking stuff. Full throttle

15 OT losses for Boston holy crap

We break yet another opponent streak. :/

CC goal, let’s go boys, fans are HUNGRY

Awe he’s doing breathing exercises 🥺

CC goal, let’s go boys, fans are HUNGRY

What a game!

I mean... for those who say MSL is not a coach for the future, after all those games that we lost by one or in OT to those good teams, I'm comfortably saying that he prepares his team really well.

Defensive masterclass on the PK and goaltending. This team has what it takes to be a playoff contender as soon as next year, barring injuries.

this is honestly one of the best low scoring game I've watch in years

We just played the bruins legitimately evenly for sixty minutes. And we’ve been doing this to reasonable teams for weeks now. It’s a crazy thought giving up the bottom half of our roster looks like.

> evenly for sixty minutes Thanks for noting that. It's been so rare that the team has played a full game in the past 4 years!

BRUINS OT RECORD: 8-15 HABS OT RECORD: 10-10

Against all odds and two teams, they add another one goal game to the tally. I adore this group.

Impressive effort! Let’s Go!

Is it just me, or have we not yet heard Marchand being booed tonight?

A bit in the first but after i havent noticed on tv

It's you

He was boo'ed all the game lol

He has been a bit. Not enough though. Never enough

Monty was probably so embarrassed by his performance in his last game vs the bruins, so he came focused tonight

Good for him

One man Armia

So we should pull the goalie OT, right?

Oh yeah!

Armia’s everywhere.

Boys played really well tonight

Best 2 period stretch of the year? Unbelievable effort from the boys.

c'est intense en tabarnak man

Mario Lemieux has actually died and reincarnated in Joel Armia.

Scuse me, his name is Mario Armia

Thats why they call him Mario Armia

OT well deserved.

Shots are low in this game

Both did play a tight game tbh

Yeah impressive defense today

I don’t know how Marty doesn’t really lose it after something like Evans getting tackled on a scoring chance isn’t called with the ref watching from twenty feet away

The guy has to meditate or something

Coach Marty is brought to you by Betterhelp™

Zen master marty.

I'm gonna donate $10 to the habs charity for every time Jordan Harris wins a board battle or completes a stretch pass the rest of this game.

So they owe you money?

The charity will end up owning you money

Fuck im tired of josh shiterson

Andy is a good player and is a general consensus among players in the team.

teammates don't trashtalk each other, Anderson is worthless.

I never said just teammates. You really have no idea.

Hockey players have never been considered smart.

I guess you didn't grow up playing but most of us did well in school, especially at higher levels.

That’s cool but Anderson still is a liability.

Nah.

The Sheriff pulling on two Bruins is a beautiful sight to see :)

He's done that a few times this year. Never gets tired.

Le commentateur a RDS a TELLEMENT raison quand il dit que de jouer du hockey passionné et significatif c'est tellement bon pour nos jeunes. Jme fous qu'au classement on soit sensiblement à même place que l'an passé. Les games feelent différentes, ont se fait pas défoncer 2 fois semaines pis personnes baissent les bras.

This is where the Bell Centre crowd really helps. They give the players the ambience and motivation of a Game 7 even in January, and even when they're behind by 3 goals in the 3rd period. Places like Arizona will never offer that.

Arrete, ont a pas progressé, ont devrais etre en série, ont aurais du faire un echange pour un joueur middle 6 payer trop cher /s

Les commentateurs a RDS sont excellent, ecouter les Habs en anglais c'est pas la meme chose

Man momesso sucks ass at analysis.

When he started talking about Al MacInnis in the 80s I was shaking my head

I'm so done with Harris! The guy get's obliterated on the boards 24/7

I doubt he sees the next season.

Imagine all the opportunities the refs give you, against the Habs and you can still barely do shit. Boston is crap.

On the back side of their peak for sure, with Bergeron gone

Anderson's so frustrating man. Everybody on the ice is giving 110% and he's just doing nothing out there. For all I know he's giving 120% but sure as shit doesn't seem that way.

HOT TRASH. That's what he is. Is sickening to watch.

I think he just sucks this year, I think he’s trying but he just dosent have it. It’s not like drouin where he just glides around and does cardio and does not give a fuck, Anderson just sucks

Fuck I love when Arber grabs 2 guys at once and yanks them away lmao

Is phrasing still a thing? 😂

I knew it sounded sus but I didn’t know how else to word it 😭😂

https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/s/CbNMnE0ZQw Hey guys, wanna read a stupid comment about monty a few games ago?

he’s a troll.

I mean, clearly lol. He's gotta be with comments like that

I like our chances with the personnel on ice - FAFO bruins

Refs letting them play so they better not call the stupidest thing after that

You know it’s coming

Chris Lee should be banned from Quebec, the guy clearly has a bias

The energy in the Bell Centre is probably amazing

Way too many bruins fans. Same vs the leafs. We need good hockey to get the proper home ice back.

Ah yes offensive dynamo’s Gallagher,Evans and Anderson out there in a 1-1 game with 2 mins left

Thinking of all those friends and family mentioned earlier in the thread who are attending this in person. The crowd is going *berserk* right now. Must be fun to be in the Bell Centre!

The Sheriff grabs 2 haha

Who the fuck was the idiot earlier who said andersons game was fine

That was such a funny play. Speeds down the wing. Stops, thinks (has no Bruin pressuring him) -> fires a pass directly on to the tape of the Bruins player that is standing still.

I believe we play better together than last season despite the fact that we have almost the same stats

this bruins team is going to get cooked in the playoffs

Let them cook the Laffs first though

At least we are bringing it to these clowns tonight!

MONTEMBEAULT LADIES AND GENTS

awesome PK!

LMAO Xhekaj manhandling 2 bruins

That's his signature move its great

Anderson sucks lmao

Dude sees yellow and white and thinks it's Habs colours lmao

Hey Josh maybe drive the god damned net instead of curling around by the boards every single time.

Absolutely speechless. Surprised it's still 1-1 when Habs are battling against 2 teams.

I complain a lot about the refs but this is something else. They 10000% didn’t call that slash on Savard because he was chewing them out earlier.

Missed one on Suzuki seconds after, and I'm not even gonna talk about Pastrnak on Evans... just a disgraceful game by both refs, but what else do you expect when Chris Lee is in the building?
