NHL Highlights | Rangers vs. Canadiens - January 19, 2025

Not even a Habs fan but Rempe getting cheap shots in then having his ass handed to him by Xhekaj is truly a lovely thing to see.

[@joydjinn8692]

He was due for a reality check lol

[@darrenfleming7901]

also trying to get the jump on him instead of just fighting cuz he's worried about losing fights, not a good look.

[@davidmetzler6670]

I love the guy’s toughness but that giveaway on the 2nd goal at 1:35 made his overall impact on the game a negative one, did it not? Don’t get me wrong though, my team doesn’t win enough for me to care how they get 2 points as long as they get it. I’m just here to scout which Ranger(s) are going to be Canucks this week after the Miller trade…. So GG but yeah with goaltending and defence like that (including Hutson going up the boards on the 1st goal like a beer leaguer) you’re still a long way from playoffs habs 🙂

Nah, Montembault has played pretty good for a loooong time, so one or two down games shouldn't change anything. Dobes most likely would fall if played too much, so 1A-1B situation like they've played now is probably the best.

This was a must-win for the Habs, considering that embarrassment yesterday. To me, Quick was the story of the game. He was clearly playing injured, was hung out to dry several times, and he still secured a point for the Rangers.

He was hoping to knock out Xhekaj with those punches, that's the only way he is able to win any fight, cheep shots at the beginning and hoping for the best.

[@scorpius6667]

What a great hockey game to watch! To win a game like this one after the fiasco against the Leafs shows the grit and fortitude of this Canadiens hockey team! Johnathan Quick was unbelievable in goal for the Rangers and was the reason the Canadiens didn't score 4-5 more goals! Rempe should have gotten a instigator penalty instead of just the extra two for roughing! The instigator penalty usually also means a 10 minute or even a game misconduct and the refs failed there .... the officiating was pretty poor for the whole game so that failure is not surprising! What a relief it was to be listening to the Rangers commentary of Sam Rosen and Joe Micheletti instead of SN announcers! Sam was great calling the game ....accurately! my opinion 🦂🥂

[@JustaComment93]

Quick was fantastic and amazing to watch tonight. Rangers scored some good goals. Fumbled the W in regulation and OT…. We’ll take the point
