2. takeaways in no particular order:
   – Lane Hutson is fucking him. put him on PP1 already, i don’t care. he has made PP2 more dynamic in terms of movement than PP1. it’s so much fun to watch him scurry away from skaters like he did with Tkachuk before setting up Newhook. also i hope they give him the assist on Heineman’s goal too, he kicked it to Dvorak i think
   – Caufield having a breakout year is looking more and more likely. 4G in 3GP already is a good sign even if a small sample size. loved to see him snipe that first one, he looks a lot quicker with his release this year compared to last year. shoulder looking good!
   – Slaf quietly has 3A in 3GP, again a small sample size but another good sign, especially because i think he can play better. Suzuki too seemed to be warming up tonight more than the last two games. he also needs time to rev up, not worried about him
   – Kapanen and Heineman are good players. so much better than Ylonen and even Pezzetta imo
   – Monty with another very strong showing. locked in. fuck it, let him start on team Canada
   – Gallagher having a good start to the season! no points today but has been strong imo, looks like he has energy/better conditioning this year
   – Guhle is going to be a steady force for us for many years, he’s so solid
   – Newhook has been good! Dach i kinda want more from but nothing Bad necessarily

3. Someone said in the GDT that Slafkovsky was PPG even if he was not playing his best. I didn’t realize it with the craziness of Caufield being 4g in 3 games and Hutson being all over the place.

   Hutson slowly showing even doubters when one of the biggest question about him was what will he do against big strong players. The play versus Tkachuk showed it, he just outskate and outmaneuver them with his raw skills.

   I think the hype is real for the future guys. It’s really exciting isn’t it. Imagine if Dach had Laine also O_o

5. Best game of the season, Hutson is special and our top 6 is waking up. Love seeing Cole’s shot looking elite again.

6. Fuck the Sens, no one beats us 10 times in a row

7. Remember the days where getting more than 2 goals in a game was straight up impossible? This season is going to be so much fun 

8. Ohh shit I thought Price was on the net tonight

9. Samuel Montembeault. Upvote if you agree.

10. Sens rebuild going well, in 5 years they’ll be scary /s

11. You know when people were saying Hutson, among all our prospects, had the highest potential of radically changing our offense by the options he brings? Well that happened way faster than I expected.

12. Maybe it’s just me, but beating Toronto and Kanata and losing to Boston feels better than beating Boston and losing to either Toronto or Kanata

13. Best match yet by far. J’espère à une saison avec ce niveau d’énergie constant

14. Ghule is being paid 5.5m per year for six years starting next season.

15. They’re not remotely close to being as much of a rival as the leafs or the bruins but i’d be lying if beating the “spooky” sens isn’t satisfying. It’s not the same “fuck yes” when we beat the leafs or bruins, more of like a smirk and thinking about how much of a joke that franchise and fanbase is. We live in their heads rent free while i only remember they exist on game days, what like 4 times a year?

16. Satisfying as fuck game tbh

    Get turbo fucked Sens, anything to help you miss the playoffs again

17. Cole caufield: 109 Goal pace

    Hutson, Slaf, Guhle: 82 points pace

    Montembeault: 98.6% save percentage pace.

    Not bad.

18. *GOOD*

    – This analysis will be a little lame as I couldn’t lock into the game as much. Being social.

    – beating Ottawa is nice. Snapping that ugly streak.

    – Hutson is amazing. Just amazing. Absolute game changer.

    – Top line came to play tonight.

    – Colex2!!!

    – Of course Monty. Again solid.

    – The depth players as well. EH with first nhl goal.

    – Gallagher turning back the clock

    *BAD*

    – Need a bit of an upgrade on Barron I think

19. Ullmark .846 SV%

20. Imagine this team with Laine and Demidov next year. Fuck

21. Caufield 🥵🥵🥵

    Hutson 🥶🥶🥶

    Montembeault 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️

22. Nah bro Hutson is even better than advertised.

23. https://preview.redd.it/kmi1reiojfud1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d10aa72c37dd1605e13ded22f009492228a76ce

    This man cooked in the 2022 draft.

24. Lots to be happy about. Hutson is PPG, Cole is PPG+, Slaf is PPG. Monty is a Hab.

25. 

26. Anyone else find themselves just laughing when watching Hutson dance all over the ice?

    I just can’t believe it man, he’s absolutely unbelievable. This team is going to be so fun to watch for the next decade!

27. Lane Hutson making hockey for Habs fans fun again. CC the scoring machine we all knew he was, and Monty channeling Price. Oh, and Gally was supposed to be finished two years ago… looks reborn! This team is looking very promising!

    GHG!!!!

28. Damn the boys actually looked quite good

29. Hutson has been the best player on the ice for either team for most of the time he’s been on the ice this year.

    He creates something every time he touches the puck.

30. I’m going against the grain and saying Barron isn’t that bad. I feel like his gaffs are kind of obvious and *look* terrible but he can enter the zone and you can see the wheels churning offensively, even if he still has to get a bit faster at executing. Hes starting to take the body more along the boards as well. Hes 22. I think with a full season of nhl ice time he can take a step.

31. I am ready to overreact.
