Samwell Tarly, John Snow’s friend from game of thrones, is a gem of a human but a tragic figure at times

Honestly it was a service to humanity to beat the Sabres so that pointless lifelong Sabres fan Alex Tuch gets the chance to shave

Dobes clip 3, answering where the Habs’ confidence comes from

Dobes cracks me up, clip 2 (after analysts just talked about how good and rested Hurricanes are for five minutes)

Dobes cracks me up, clip 1

First star: Jakub Dobes Second star: Jakub Dobes Third star: Jakub Dobes

Dobes deserved it big time. Newhook showed up when it mattered. I deserved it as well. The rest of them not so much.

Players deserving of a win: 1) Dobes, 2) Hutson, 3) Anderson, 4) Evans, 5) Matheson, 6) Guhle at times, 7) Suzuki I guess, 8) Carrier for stopping a first period goal kinda, 9) Entire Buffalo roster

I had to turn off the announcers. I’m sitting in stunned silence. Somehow all we need is a lucky bounce. I see two outcomes tonight: 1) ecstasy 2) the sweet kiss of death

If you’re going to get totally annihilated for two periods might as well be against a team and a city that is destined for pain and misery. That’s our best chance.

We can still absolutely crush the spirits of Sabres fans. They cannot break mine because I have accepted our fate

We deserve to have given up the lead. May the worse team win.

Dahlin sure is bringing it in these last two games. Impressive talent.

Some of these recent periods have been among the worst for the Habs in 2026

If you played that same way for 100 periods you’d give up zero no times, one 20 times, two 50 times, and three or more in 30 times. Borderline embarrassing period. I think at this point Buffalo fans will feel worse if they lose this series than we did… really outplayed us in last two games.

All credit to Buffalo for looking death in the face and decide they’ll try to commit homicide. If they don’t kill the Habs they will kill me.

Someone has to get up in that dressing room and speak up. The Canadiens lead 2-1 after 40 minutes, but they cannot hope to survive another 20 minutes like that. #GoHabsGo

My god what a shellacking… oof… I sure hope MSL has a speech in him

After having little respect for the Sabres game through five games I now respect them and think they’re quite good

Feels like we are going to have to kill 16 straight penalties without giving up two goals to win. Hope Habs are as unsure that the Habs can protect a two goal lead as every Habs fan is - and start playing accordingly.

...this beats the dreadfulness of 1994-2007, and the false hope that got foisted on us from 2008-2021. This isn't an accident, it's real.

Few teams have risen from the bottom of the standings as fast as the Habs. There a ton of lessons to take from each leg of the journey. If the season ends tmw night, it will hurt. But you know what? This will still end on a better note than any playoff exit since 1994.

Perfect weather yesterday. 95 and miserable today. I hope everybody in Boston enjoyed May 16th, aka spring.

We had nine shots in game 7 of first round. Every game since then has been a blessing, even if we blow it big time. 1-2 in clinching games and that was the only win. I am going to just enjoy tomorrow esp given it’s a Monday which is bad enough on its own.

I know it’s disappointing to read after a loss, but there’s some good overall analysis in here not really game specific if the pain of it is dying down. *I never feel like reading when my Phillies lose, so I totally get it lol

I read Brian’s stuff because I love Brian’s stuff, want more of Brian’s stuff, and it’s literally the least we can do. See the link below this and read it. If there’s anything the world has taught me since 2010 it’s that you don’t get more of what you want in the world without prioritizing it.

Listening to ‘Pink Flag’ by Wire for first time in decades and now I get why it’s so celebrated. Funny how you can not get some things and then later you can. I still think the Beach Boys Pet Sounds sucks tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am glad tomorrow will bring the end of this series. It was easier to endure than round 1 but I’m also over it. And I welcome whatever comes next - whether that be more free time or another round.

Social media use and alcohol consumption are the same in one respect: there is no level of exposure at which it is a net positive for your life expectancy / outlook

Case in point - current Vegas odds

Impossible to know who will win Monday. We beat the shit out of them leading up to this. We’ll see how Habs respond. Feel less despondent now than during second. Nothing matters but that it’s 3-3.

Neither team is in final form. It’s like the G league finals in the NBA. If I’m Habs I want to win it for MSL, who gets no respect for what he’s built.

2-4 at home; 5-2 on road on playoffs

Habs would be in a lot more trouble if they ever got home ice advantage… as long as there are four games on the road in a series they have a chance

Should have let Dobes off the hook between periods so no psychology of him getting pulled. Probably doesn’t matter. Uninspired game. Seem to just struggle at home. Never count them out but this was a shit way to show up. I’ll get over it but I’m turning this shit off.

Hutson gives it his all every single shift. It’s remarkable that he’s so talented and so shifty and has such a high compete level. Nobody in same zip code in terms of product of talent x effort.

It’s important they punch Buffalo in the mouth this period. The result will be what it will be but they shouldn’t just be lazy, sloppy, and entitled like the first two periods.

I’m more pissed than upset. Gonna have to either have a big third period or come out hard Monday for all the marbles. These guys aren’t that good and they look like the Oilers in the 1980s because we’ve been such shit.

I thought was virtually impossible for me to feel disappointed by Habs going into tonight’s game but I was wrong. Just a mess. Pretty pathetic effort.

Definitely worst Habs performance of playoffs. And inexcusable after being up 3-1. Sloppy sloppy sloppy. Both teams not in same league as Carolina rested.

Should have pulled dobes before that goal. Send him straight to his house to rest

I’m not impressed by the Habs tonight.

Dobes never looked more vulnerable. Flopping all over the place. Almost feel like they need a timeout. Could be down 2-3 and if no Lyon 4 or so.

Habs have to wake up. Lucky to be tied.

Carey Price on IG ♥️ : “I just wanted to thank everyone in this comment section. Not very often these days do you get to scroll through the whole thing and see nothing but love. Thank you all for being fans. GO HABS GO’”

I believe that the three best Montreal skaters drafted by and who played for the team since their last Cup are all on this team and all 22 and under.

The Montreal Canadiens should be designated a terrorist organization by the city of Buffalo for shifts like that one

He didn’t make a save lol

HE’S A ROOKIE

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...
