Allen stole one last night

Created by: jonh514

Description
By every metric other than the one that matters, who scored the most goals, the Jets outplayed us almost as badly as the Devils did. If you replay that game 10 times, the Habs lose 9. We need to tell the truth, Jake Allen stole that game.

Good teams find ways to win, and I get that, but that was the first win where our 5-on-5 play was bad and our special teams actually won the game. It was ugly, and we should not forget that while we can be happy that we got the 2 points, we need to be better if we want to make the playoffs this season.

The Jets special teams sucked last night and Allen was lights out while Brossoit wasn't.

Armia is a good player, don't know why Habs fans are so down on the guy.

That was the best game he played in a while. He plays like 5 of those per year normally and he's invisible the rest of the season.

If he can find consistency, I would like the Habs to give him an offensive role.

He's always been inconsistent but showed some promise for a while and was a beast in the playoff run a few seasons ago and we Habs fans were all very high on him then. His trajectory aligned with the contract he was given at the time, but he hasn't quite lived up to it. Part of that was that he had a few concussions over the last few seasons which seemed to have impacted his effectiveness (understandably, and every person recovers differently, or never do in some cases). But perhaps if he is fully healthy now and extra motivated by his brief demotion to the AHL, he can redeem himself in the eyes of most fans. Habs no longer have specific cap issues so his salary is less of a burden and there is a need for a big bodied forward on the roster, so I say let him play. Hoping he does well!
