1:36 WTF HOW is that not a penalty he pushed dobes to the ground from behind WTF
On veux gagner on veux plus que participer nous on veux gagner à soir on fonce sur la patinoire pour gagner si on ce défonce pour la victoire on va gagner on va gagnerrrrrrrrr 💙🤍❤️
slaf is so good. Most underrated passer in the nhl
Go Habs Go
What a great birthday present, let's go boys 🔥🔥🔥
Dobes is getting some confidence I hope he stays the same in the playoff
Look out NHL Habs are rolling! Unless Bettman shuts them down.
Dobes 🥅💪🏼
What can U say , but what great team work & leadership , the Habs have organized in 2025-2026 season . GoHabsGo .
Kucherov tried to be the big bully 😂 No Class, we can be physical top 💪
Suzuki couldn't let Caufield have an empty net goal, gotta keep the no empty net goal tradition going 😂
I think Suzuki should’ve either passed to Slaf for his 30th goal or to Caufield to help him reach 50 goals, but it’s not a big deal just a bit strange though.
The only thing I envy about the Habs is that they have Dobes. If it weren't for Dobes, they would've let in at least two more goals..
Let's face it. The Canadiens are getting better and better…
This was a sweet win.
I love how the Montreal team is playing this year. It is a pleasure to watch no matter the bias. I hope they go far in the playoffs.
Montreal 6 wins in a row on a hot streak right now. 96 points closing in on 100 points soon. If they do reach 100 points was 2016-2017 with 103 points winning their division. That's been a while if they get 100 points this Season.
Evans got even for Kucherov boarding hit on Guhle in April 2024 caused a concussion
Habs clearly the better team
Top 8 in the plus minus and going for everyone in plus.Dont think that's been done before.
lol, lightening wins a seven game series easy
Habs are having an incredible season and not even close to peak yet… imagine they didn’t go through goaltending issues mid way
Get the cup out, Montreal Stanley Cup 2025/2026 winners!
Those damn Bruins are right on our tail but playing them in the playoffs would be so awesome
Caufield for sure…but I really hope Dobes is wearing the wolf's head. Unreal. And as a team these Habs are monsters.
What was the name of Canadians number 1 goalie again?
Dobson completely out played on first goal. My God that guys useless.
Suchhhhhh a great game👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #GoHabsGo
No fighting highlights? Sad.
Our window is slowly opening and man is it a breeze of fresh air ! These kids are cooking something special and one day it will be served in silverware ⚪️🔴🔵
Dobes ! 😍
Dobes beast mode!
What a game 🔥🔥
WHAT A GAME! DOBES IS ON FIRE. SOLID AS ****! HABS FIRST LINE DESTROYING! HABS-ARE-CINEMA!!!
Man Slaf and Dobes insanely good
BTW where's Monty?
Dobes eccentric style reminds me of Tim Thomas! Plays with passion! 🔥🔥🔥 great signs!
I love how Montreal played hard-nosed physical hockey against The Lightening.
The hooking on dobson was crazy…
Nothing makes me feel happier than seeing Tampa mad
Ça sens quoi? Ça sens la coupeeeee
Caufield scores a goal: check ✅
Doby only lets in a single goal: check ✅
Habs win against top contenders: check ✅
A consistent laundry list!
Jakub Dobes played a great game, and Mr Every night does it again the Montreal Canadiens Cole Caufield.
nhl rules i'd like to see a change
1: W – L – OTW
2pts for Win,
1pts for overtime Win : teams who cant win in regulation should get penalized
0pts for loss and overtime loss
it would keep teams, to play to the end and not survive
2: Only PK goals on 2 minute minors to get your player out the penalty box, unlimited PP goals
it would keep teams disciplined
3: overtime 3v3 should have the offside and a backzone rule on the center red line
it would keep teams from going back and stay in a offensive zone
Dobes has yet another amazing game!
Matheson a short handed goal!
Out little bundle of joy yet another gamer winner!
Suzuki could have given the 48th to Caulfield 😅 on that empty net
This will be insane when they play each other in the playoffs
OLE, OLE OLE OLE………. SWEET
Hagel сыграл максимально глупо при выходе один на один…вратарь сильно вышел вперед он мог на такой скорости просто его обойти и в пустые закинуть зачем он просто пробил по прямой
Dobessttt
Shouldn’t Suzuki have passed it to Caufield for the empty netter?
these refs are in on it lol
1:40 McDavids younger brother…
