GDT: Penguins @ MTL | Let's get ready to Crumble! | Mar. 15, 2018 7:30pm ET, TSN2 RDS 690AM 98.5FM

[lo striver]

Are you of Russian origin? The reason I am asking is that Dahlin grew up in an area where bandy is a big sport and bandy is big in certain areas of Russia. Dahlin used to play bandy when he grew up and a lot of his skating technique comes from bandy.

Well, I grew up in the USSR. Soviets started to play hockey in the 50s and pretty all much of those
original hockey players came from bandy. Many of them also were playing for top football (soccer) clubs during summer time.

That was good board work by Drouin.

 

[The Great Weal]

Galchenyuk and Lekhy are both fire lately.

Lekhonen has had quite the turnaround. He couldn't even take a shot without falling on his ass at the start of the season. The fact that he is able to stand on his two feet is miraculous.

 

[Habsawce]

DLR has zero offensive instincts and mostly plays in his own end. This isn't because his role is defensive as much as it is because he's a very bad hockey player. His defensive metrics are not good.

I'd trade him, or just release him if I can't find a suitor.

 

[Doc McKenna]

wow I celebrated so hard for that penguins goal there.

...what have I become.

Habs remind me of Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.

Should be our theme song this season

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

 

[VAN-HAB]

Galchenyuk is impressive

 

[Tyson]

Alzner is brutal with the puck on the point

 

[Lebowski]

It was the exact same thing last season. Lehkonen had a hot streak to end the season that made his overall stats look potent, but there was along walk across the desert before that.

 

[The Great Weal]

Alzner is brutal

Could have just ended it there.

 

[Zorba]

I'd trade him, or just release him if I can't find a suitor.

What’s the option then, resign Pleks?? Please
No

 

[Habsawce]

Alzner is brutal with the puck on the point

Alzner reminds me of Roman Hamrlik, but if he lost his vision. And by vision I mean, his actual eye sight.

 

[Habsawce]

What’s the option then, resign Pleks?? Please
No

I'd sooner go after Tyler Johnson or Paul Statsny than keep this guy around or sign Plekanec.

Tough to beat It's the Eye of the grinder

 

[Runner77]

Ask and you shall receive

Waiting for answers on those GF questions ...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Please not Paul Stastny....

god god sakes not another incoming 33 year olds in a 5 years contract

 

[Habs100]

Galchenyuk is impressive

But he has to play with DLR. And Scherbak and Hudon have to play with Logan Shaw. It makes no sense. Switch Logan Shaw and Galchenyuk. duh.

Bergevin: “No”

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Next year defense will be faster and bigger.

Dahlin Weber
Mete Petry
Reilly Juulsen
Lernout

Who said anything about a 5 year contract. I'm not saying I'd sign him, I'm saying I'd sooner have him than those other 2 options. Ideally, you're going to find younger centre in a Pacioretty deal.

 

[Seb]

I used to be stressed when the Habs were up by one goal at the end of the game. Now I'm stressed because they're only down by one.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Tough to beat It's the Eye of the grinder

To be fair that was our theme till mid season last year.

I esp like the Empire Of Dirt line...nothing shows the legacy of King Of Kings Marc Bergevin like that line.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Because thats what hes gonna ask .

Even more if he plays for the habs lmfao.
Who would sign with the habs anyways

 

[LaP]

Where are Benn and Alzner? You know MB wont admit failure this soon.

 

[Zorba]

I'd sooner go after Tyler Johnson or Paul Statsny than keep this guy around or sign Plekanec.

I’d take both over DLR and Pleks as well

 

[NobleSix]

get shitty Letang off the ice before he blows this for us god damnit
