GDT: NJ Devils @ Montréal Canadiens

[Uncle Gary]

Hischier with a 3 point night coming up.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Excited to see my boy Hischier tonight.

Go Habs Go!

I just hope it is an entertaining game of hockey. Tired of boring grinding games and watching 4th line players on the ice more than skilled players!

Let's go Devils

Fire Bergevin!

The Devils are down 2/3 of their #1 line, 1/3 of their #2 line, and a top-4 D-man.

It would take a herculean effort for the Habs to lose this game.

They are a reflection of their GM.. so a herculean effort to be giant losers is exactly that.

You know they can...

Our ever optimist fans as they watch the Devils skate around.

I wouldn't say Julien is worse than Therrien but rather the team he's gotten is worse than the teams Therrien's gotten. It's a fundamentally flawed team that was built on the hope it would over perform to put the team in a playoff position by trade deadline in the hopes of good rental players becoming avaliable. That's on Bergevin in my books.

Very well said...........why is it Geoff Molson can't see this?
Still looking for a W tonight...4-3 in OT

 

[De Montreal]

We will win 2-0 and Pacioretty will put an empty netter. Can't tell you my source but it's first hand information.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Ughh this team right now....

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Let's hope we lose until MB is fired and we draft a great prospect !

I'd like to politely suggest you watch another pair of hockey teams play if you don't want to see that type of hockey.

Grind Deez Guyz,

 

[CH25]

Kudos to those of you still watching.

 

[PhysicX]

I doubt we'll watch exciting hockey tonight. One team is injury riddled, the other struggles to win games, hasn't played in 5 days, and comes off a bad loss.

Expect a snoozefest.

The Habs don't even have a 1st line, they have zero natural top 6 centers, third liners as mainstays on our two 2nd lines, and no #2 or #3 defensemen, and a handful of #5 dmen playing too far up the lineup. Those aren't because of injuries either. We just don't have any of those things.

So... yeah. Should be closer than you seem to think

 

[blarneylad]

Wait why did Byron and Shaw switch places?

 

[habsgirl5000]

The Devils are down 2/3 of their #1 line

we don't even have a #1 line....so thats still advantage devils

 

[Lshap]

Thanks to those who suggested watching "Stranger Things". It's been my wife and my go-to escape from hockey the last week. If the Habs play well, great. If not, switch to Netflix and watch an episode. Win, win.

You still on the first season, or the second?

 

[Censored Toad]

Honestly if it wasn't for HF habs I don't think I'd watch any. Although it sucks to suck, Misery loves company

 

[Runner77]

Lehkonen is in!
Apparition surprise d'Artturi Lehkonen avant le duel contre les Devils

Il est sur la touche depuis le 11 novembre. Mais en dépit des informations sibyllines qu'il a laissé filtrer, sa présence à l'entraînement jeudi le rapproche d'un retour au jeu.

He's been out since November 11th but he's nearing a return to action.

Your post sounded as if he'd be taking part in tonight's game.

And boy was I fooled, never thought I'd have to relive another down season so soon after that 2011-12 debacle.

lol ''these are not things that we have.''

Pretty big night for the tank again. Should we manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, Florida, and Edmonton could catch us (we'd still hold the tiebreak in the event of a Florida OTL or Edmonton W).

Speaking of teams being a reflection of their GM, how about a shout out to Ray Shero.

He was never given credit in Pittsburgh he deserved, but you can see with the Devils the type of talent he had.

Go through the Devils lines and D pairs, and look how many additions he'made either via the draft / trades / free agency. Its actually quite a lot.

He took a slow, lumbering trap based team with an ingrained philososophy and quickly transformed them to an up tempo skating team suited for todays game.

Ececutive of the year in my opinion.

Guys like him give me hope what a real GM could do with this club.

I believe.
