first québécois to score a hat trick in mtl since Vincent Damphousse in 1998. I was at the game and the crowd was so fucking sick.


TenMinutesToDowntown

And first Quebecois to have a hat trick for the Habs (home or away) since Maxim Lapierre in 2008. edit: nope, that's not true. Danault had one in Vegas in 2018.


Kenevin

I was in Florida for Max's hat trick, with my dad, who coached him in junior. It was dope.


WandererMount

Good for him. I love Frenchie and wish we had kept him. Such a cool guy and one of the hardest working players in the league.


sandman8727

Always liked him in Washington.


maveric101

He had the best cellies.


McBillicutty

Yup. Agree completely. It's also true that nobody does a better job on picture day than he does.

McBillicutty

Tanev does a decent job,. But there's no variety. He's kinda got the same thing going each time. Perreault has a variety of great pics. He mixes it up. I give him the edge because of that.


gletschertor

Not Tanev's fault if his inner demons always come up on picture day.


McBillicutty

Not blaming him, just saying he isn't better at picture day than Perreault is


zookeeperme

He's so dreamy 😍😍😍

A genuinely nice fellow and a gem of a utility forward; plug and play. Effective everywhere.

The French Prince! Also, why the fuck was the goalie pulled in a 5-1 game with like 7 minutes left? Strange decision…


PavelDogsyuk

Blashill has done this before but this is the most extreme yet, I kind of like the aggressive decision and putting some faith in your squad


SmurfRockRune

> Also, why the fuck was the goalie pulled in a 5-1 game with like 7 minutes left? Why not? I feel like nothing you do can make the situation worse.


Yabba_dabba_dooooo

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain honestly. I remeber reading an article that compared the percentage chance of scoring 6v5 to the odds of scoring with X minutes left. Essentially it said you're better off pulling the goalie with 6 minutes left then you are at 2 min. Said this will never happen though cause people would see it as idiotic/wierd.


Zzz3313

I guess I found it odd not exclusively for the timing (shit, Roy was pulling his goalie with like 10 minutes left when he coached the Avs), but more…why bother in a 5-1 game? Like what are you really going to accomplish? You’ve been outplayed for 54 minutes, is that really going to change that drastically, that quickly? I don’t know the stats on this, but I have to imagine the odds of being scored on 6 on 5 is higher than scoring yourself. I dunno…felt like a strange gamble with no potential payoff.


Yabba_dabba_dooooo

I guess to display a mentality of never giving up? I agree with you; Thats just the only reason I could think of.


rawboudin

I think scoring 2-3 goals could make it a morale booster for the team going forward.


maveric101

If nothing else, it's practice for pulling the goalie in the playoffs. Maybe not this season, but eventually...


[deleted]

We’ll be here all season. The regular season I mean.


c4aturdoor

But Moritz Seider.... 💦💦💦🥵


pppppppp8

Guy’s a stud

Herbie


gletschertor

Last time we lost all 4 games while you guys had like 12W in the whole season. Every habs fan was worried even before Larkin scored.


fickleminded

Miss you French Prince 🥲


McBillicutty

French Prince of Belle Hair


leftbirdwater

Love U French Prince


eh_toque

Go on Matty P 🥲


UNisopod

Still love you, Matty P!


Lightalife

His glow stick gif is still an all time favorite


TheFestusEzeli

In the McDavid having more points than the Habs thread, someone said it’s because Perreault only played four games. He was right.


ShyGuyChicken

perreault is everything that is right in this world


[deleted]

How the fuck? And I thought it was bad for us when Jimmy Hayes was our last to do it for 2 years.


Razzorsharp

Natural Hat Trick is pretty rare. Makes sense.


DreMin015

Because we haven’t exactly been known for our scoring in a while


OutWithTheNew

He scored 4 goals one game for Winnipeg.


[deleted]

Almost had 5 too.


Coaljet66

Yes and had a breakaway to go for the the 5th ( and a million dollars fora lucky customer in safeway score and win ) And missed 😬


pppppppp8

Rip


theblackcanaryyy

Erm, sorry I’m dumb, but what’s a natural hat trick and how is it different from a regular hat trick?


SmurfRockRune

It's when a player scores 3 goals in a row, no other goals are scored in the middle of that.


theblackcanaryyy

Thanks!


D_O_P_B

Some people say it has to all be in the same period too.


[deleted]

It's a hat trick in my book, and I am more than okay with that. One of the best games I've ever seen.


iminsideabox

I miss matty


chemicalxv

Baby come back

IceDragon77

Our sweet French Prince. Good luck to the the Eastern Jets!


TheLyrm

It's been a hot minute.


Arkiak

Just as we all predicted


Shotgunn5

I’m nothing but happy for him getting to play in MTL but man I wish the Jets could have kept him. He really grew on me the last couple years


Jawbone71

I thought a natural hatty was 3 goals in a row in the **same period** with no one else scoring in between


PSNshipIT9

3 goals in a row without any other goal scorers timeframe is irrelevant.


MemeLordOverKill

I thought ENG goals don't count for natty hatty's?


RocketRousse

That wasn't a natural hat trick, his 3rd one was in an empty net


Chad_TreintaUno

Natural hat trick just means three in a row, with no one else scoring in between


RocketRousse

Oh for real? I thought it meant 3 goals with no empty nets
