Assuming no one is injured and none of the prospects get traded, could this be a potential line up.

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield line is so good together, they will not be moved
And the same with the French 3rd line, they shouldn’t be touched either, plus Kreider only had a 1 year contract.

No doubter, Fowler in net on Tuesday. That would be 6 of the past 8 games. But then you would think you turn the reigns over to Dobes on Thursday in Dallas. Undoubtedly, the tougher opponnent. Are we setting up Dobes for failure? I worry about his confidence. He’s still only 25. What do you all think?

That is all. I love Dobeš. He's a great goaltender, but Fowler's proving himself time and again with how calm he plays when the opposing team make their plays. The only other goalie I've seen play like this was Carey Price. Give this guy more ice time, and I think he'll prove himself again and again. MSL must have known this when he chose him to start at the Heritage Classic.

I watch games with a six hour delay, living where I am. So I have to watch a repeat rather than a live game. I make sure not to know the score before I put the game on so that it feels like a genuine experience. Two things struck me about Habs play this time: they racked up too many penalties (the most in one game that I've ever seen), and Caufield didn't get a single chance at scoring, only assists. Could it be that his awesome play relies too much on his teamwork with Suzuki?

It's my first time watching a Heritage Classic as well. The atmosphere is amazing. Definitely would feel like a more unique experience than playing at the Bell Center or any other indoor arena. Intensity is definitely higher at Bell, but this feels more homey. Like a lot of the times the commentators mentioned pond hockey.

What does everybody else think?

Coudon, est-ce que c’est moi ou les médias font exprès pour sortir les statistiques les plus négatives que possible? On dirait que toutes les équipes que le Canadien affronte il y a toujours une statistique qui montre que le CH en arrache contre telle équipe, ou telle facette du jeu, ou tel joueur qui fait ça… un autre exemple qui vient d’arriver: Kapanen n’a pas compté depuis 20 matchs… incluant la saison dernière, donc les séries??

Je suis avec Bell. Il y a souvent un délai entre l’image et le son: le son arrive avant l’image. Donc quand il y a un but, j’entends qu’il y a un but avant de le voir. Hyper gossant. J’ai tout essayé: fermer la télé, fermer Bell Fibe, vider la cache… Ça règle temporairement le problème mais tranquillement le délai revient. Suis-je le seul à avoir ce problème?

Montenbault plays awesome. Dobeš plays awesomer. Fowler plays more awesomer maybe awesomest. What a time to watch this team.

Straight into a kitchen party. Finally a reason for the Meta specs.

The way he weaved in and out of English and French was unbelievable. SoulBear I see you!

Anyone else see #31 shilling for Energy Bird? C’mon, Carey.

Outdoor rinks are still a long way from being open, and we're trying to sell some kind of "Winter" classic, I feel like it kinda loses its flavor when it's not even freezing outside

I doubt this means he will be playing…

It was little hard to decide on this one. Settled on "average" performance. It could have gone either way. Great goaltending and great PK won it for us. Their first line was really hot and causing lot of troubles but we didn't play terribly to make it "bad" performance. It was a bit all over the place, we had a good shift, then they had a good shift - except for for last period where we were protecting more.

Hot take: I wish the logo from the Heritage Classic was the standard everyday logo.

- Thinner Open C,

- Negative space inside.

- Makes the H and C standout,

- No unnecessary outlines.

Real nice.

He also becomes the second Habs rookie goalie to win an NHL outdoor game(Mike Condon in 2016).

Other than Fowler and Condon, 2 rookie goalies have won an outdoor game. Daws, now on Winnipeg, and Matt Murray.

Anybody have a clip of the big hit right before Newhook's breakaway in the first?

Someone was stoked af and let out a big Woooo after the Jets player got sat tf down.

Man my hopes for that young and promising goalie keep going higher and higher.
