Big Comeback Mtl Gg boys
Если Н.Кучеров продолжит раздавать шайбы всяким дебилам, а не забивать сам то Lightning не выиграют Кубок….If N. Kucherov continues to hand out pucks to all sorts of idiots instead of scoring himself, the Lightning will not win the Cup…
Montreal doesn't have a goaltender. Cant win without solid goaltending.
Good comeback.Cerelli with the slewfoot on 4th goal.Nice.Dynasty started to night.
So unlucky. But the point feels good nonetheless
Great effort by Montreal at the end, even without the win that extra point is huge.
Куч – могуч 💪😊
Slaf Demi kapp that line looks so sick
The Sheriff looked like he only landed one punch🥊 but gee it was a good punch. Down for the count
Habs what an amazing team
I think play should continue when a fight starts. Imagine being on a break away but get whistled cause of a fight.
Sabourin sings Queen:
🎵 Goodbye everybody. I've got to go🎵
Trade Fowler! 🤔🚩
i FEEL LIKE IM WATCHING THE AVS GAME ALL OVER AGAIN!
The shootout is just a stupid gimmick imo to entertain the cheap beer chugger in the crowd. The Habs were the better team tonight. Also wtf is wrong with all dem broken sticks.
Congrats to the Bolts on the win but that was 1 hard earned & well deserved point for The Canadiens!
Downed in One punch…? i mean…really?
Please get rid of shootouts and keep the 20-min format OT ffs 😅
too many turnovers,3 points on turnovers,but at least Montreal came back to get a point
Spectacular come back, Slav is not only driving the 2nd line , but the whole team along Hutson . Tampa 's backup out played Fowler . Fowler looks small in shootout with a 0-2 record so far ..
We need way more production from the first line . We need Newhook and Ghule
Montreal doesn't deserve a playoff spot this season
Montreal caught some bad breaks but stuck with it. A well deserved stolen point. Hat’s off to Johansson, the Lightning goaltender.
Tampa had a super exhausting game in Sunrise yesterday (4:2 win against Panthers + ref). Great game against Montreal, 2 points are 2 points
Fowler is 3-3.. dobes 12-5-3.. nuff said.
Slaf+Demi 💥
these hockey sticks need to be fixed !!!
Habs seemed out of sync for two periods, these are the games Suzuki should step up but he didn't though he was good on faceoffs. I hope he gets selected for the Olympic team but I have my doubts
That habs never gave up, and thats a good sign that this young team can mount s comeback against a tough teams being behind by that marign, too bad the habs couldnt secure the second point but itd alright. Go habs go
Fowler cost them game
la merde ! montreal bruh… la merde du monde bruh!! LOL voi ici la merde .. ne mellieur du marseille mang! LOL montreal la merde!
Wow Dave Randorf is hard to listen to doing Tampa play-by-play.
We gotta take the shoutout out of the game . Not a big fan of 3 on 3 neither ..
4 on 4 OT hockey as long as it takes. Just how exciting is that !!
Habs being bitter about the SO loss is petty. Good game Montreal, let’s go Bolts!!
Ну и дырки в воротах стоят 😂
Can’t wait until they remove shoutouts from the game. Such a stupid way to decide the outcome…
Wish Slaf had backchecked on that goal his unlucky bounce pass created. Just coasting, standing around watching.
Without all the horseshoes up the a-s-s-e-s of the Tampa Bay team, they would easily have lost this game.
Defense was atrocious tonight especially in the second. But we bounced back and at least got a point. Shootouts suck tbh
