Faits saillants de la LNH | Canadiens c. Panthers – 29 mars 2022
Jonathan Huberdeau et Ryan Lomberg ont tous deux contribué avec deux buts et une aide alors que les Panthers de la Floride ont gagné 7-4 contre les Canadiens de Montréal.
Did not like Hoffman on the first line, he’s not the type of player I want Suzuki and Caufield to play with, especially because of his terrible puck management and sub-par vision.
Yikes, Evans sure had a bad night. He first lost the puck after getting a glove in the face and complaining about it (Panthers 2nd goal, which the broadcast did not mention at all why Evans was so easily stripped of the puck), then his crash on the boards was awful. Let's hope it's nothing serious.
The Habs problems are, right now, defence. Their D-corps is full of youngster/AHL players (such as Schueneman) who are, for the most part, already playing to their highest level. There is a similar thing with the forwards (the two Pitlick, Dauphin come to mind). Since St-Louis arrived, they began scoring goals again, but the defence, while being more intensive, is a mess. Many breakdowns are the results of forwards not playing well or losing their guy. Hoffman is always causing trouble there (while Suzuki is good defensively, he can't be expected to face top opposition AND compensate for two wingers (Caufield seems OK defensively, but not quite the level of the likes of Byron, Gallagher or Lekhonen, and can't compensate for another winger's defensive weaknesses), but even normally reliable guys like Byron and Evans caused goals against. It's often missed in replays, but it's common that a seemingly bad play by a defenceman was caused by another bad play putting the player seen in the replay in a bad spot. Neutral zone giveaways can also easily be the result of a lack of passing options that are easily off-camera…
The goaltending has been much better these days. Montembault is healthy now (he had to play injured in January when Primeau faltered, and it showed) and Allen is on fire. Both are excellent in a backup role playing 30 games a year, but struggle with the workload of a 1A starter. And right now, they are left on their own. Allen could not do anything on most goals he allowed in this game. Huberdeau scored twice with the same move, which he couldn't do if a defender was in front of the net to stop his deke to his backhand.
Lifelong Habs fan. Well done Panthers- my guys simply had too many holes in their coverage and were also out-hussled by Carolina. Bummer but there it is.
Mike Hoffman is Jonathan Drouin 2.0 . Turnover machine, overrated, and can't produce offence anymore to match his salary cap number. Habs are stuck with him for years. Even Mr. Positivity Marty St-Louis is gonna get fed up real soon and ask hughes to send Hoffman to the Laval Rocket. Not a single team wants Hoffman at that salary. He's a bad influence on the kids with that awful work ethic.
I really like Ylonen, I think he is coming along very nicely! Nice to see the Habs playing with heart even though they were outmatched tonight, good effort boys!

Hoffman needs to go, turnover king…
To bad the best team in the league can't draw a full house, but if it's sunny and 80 I guess I'd try to get nine holes in before dark.
Hell of game by my habs 👍🏼wish we could of won it
Great comeback but too many giveaways in the Habs end.
Learning curve ! 😔🇨🇦
Hope Evans is fine
These contenders continue to struggle to beat the Habs…..
F*#$ Mike Hoffman didn't he run out of town to be a big FA.
The “Thank you Mike” really works well
Luke Richardson can't recover soon enough…
Канадцы молодцы, старались, но нынешний Монреаль Пантерам не соперник. Старина Торнтон переживает вторую молодость, и это радует.
Look at all the empty seats…
Come on Man.
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 Russian best of the best!!! Barkov, Mamin, Bobrovskyi!!! Tooooooop!!!!
Много монреаль сам себе привозит, не выводят шайбу из зоны, но хоть дали бой и в какой то момент смогли отыграться
good ol toilet seats with another disaster loss 😂
Booo white
У вЛатарей реакция, как у лягушки зимой…!

Hoffman is garbage
Хубидубиду
Влюблённые в Бобровского убедились?
Habs are not used to playing on ice this bad, that's for sure.
Montreal still playing hard 🐬🐝🐛
Last in the Atlantic division right where they belong. Trash team, trash fans.
I think Hoffman was confused on what team he played for lol

Is Florida back at half capacity?
love seeing the packed house! it's such a far away arena, I don't blame fans for not going– no excuse when the team is this good though!
How their stands not full
Ох Боб везунчик
Пантеры мощно играют в этом году
Бобровский сыграл, как дно!

Bit of a bummer, but we live to play another day. Love my HABS. Reg QLD.
Is bob worth the 10m salary? I dont think so. He needs to step up for the playoffs.
Panthers thank Hoffman, and he shows his gratitude by delivering a pizza in his own zone for the game winner!
Price is never gonna win a Stanley Cup.
