GDT: And .... we're back: Montreal vs Ottawa Take 2: Saturday, Feb. 6, 1pm | RDS, TSN2, TSN5

[Scriptor]

I guess today we'll find out if we have contenders or pretenders. Contenders will quickly erase a bad outing with a solid, flawless performance. Pretenders will be nervous, prone to errors and lose on a bad bounce. Which will it be? Stay tuned....

GOGO​

You mean, like Montreal did in the second game against Calgary after being shut out by them in the first?

Minus - 34 here in the Arctic er I mean Regina. Lol. Go Habs go.

 

[Scriptor]

Price is likely to be a lot sharper in this game, if it is truly him in nets. He is a bounce back G, has been throughout his career.

Looking to get that SV % back above .900.

GO HABS GO!

Cue the Price vs Crosby trade rumors

Damn Claude got bigger balls than me

Now we have a chance at beating the worst team in the league.

Change that to Price for a misspelled, China rip off jersey of Cindy Cosby who plays for the Filadelfia Non-Flying Artic Birds.

Can't watch most of the game live today... maybe it's for the best. Somehow my confidence in a win today is not supremely high. I am assuming same roster that blew it on Thursday?

 

[The Real Timo]

A Saturday game on RDS? It's a miracle!

I am assuming no TSN feed today? SN or RDS? I'm cool with RDS... they are homers and going to prop up their golden home boys but for the rest they are very decent - play by play. Not the talking heads like Tremblay and Gaston... bleah.

Your confidence is never high

Wow... way to go Clod. Of course, if Habs happen to lose I'll blame it on a goalie change

 

[The Real Timo]

Your confidence is never high

It all depends what I am expressing confidence in... Just trying to be a voice of reason, that's all. A public service, so to speak.

I'm expecting a loss because they have not convinced me against teams that do no play an all offence game.

As bad as the Sens are, if they play another intense conservative game, Habs will struggle to score. Habs mostly scored on rushes this season. Reduce the number of rushes by playing the trap and you may completely neutralize their offence.

I want to be convinced though.
This game will tell us what kind of team we have.

This is when JOnathan Drouin and the new #1C Phil Danno will come to shine. They will break the gridlock and score in bunches tonight. I has faith.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Letsgo 1 pm hockey baby . Jake Allen gets us the win, if we lose to ottawa twice I will cry

 

[The Real Timo]

I hope before he announced it, Clod had a good walk along the St Laurent river bank with Carey, hand in hand, discussing the reasons so that his elite goaltender wouldn't go on a pouting streak as a result.

Well, they won didn't they?

Suzuki still had more minutes played than Danault last game. 2 minutes 47 seconds more in fact.

If Price is 100% healthy, it's kind of a drastic decision to give Allen the start.

... and you see the result? I am making a case to make Phil Danno Great Again!

Allen starting. What a stupid stupid move. Price had 19 SOG in that game. Well rested. You throw price back in there and say get a shut out. And revenge. Julien is an idiot.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I still feel kinda iffy about how much they're using Allen TBH. Price hasn't been up to par yet this season and it's gonna be hard for him to get his groove back if he's sitting every other game.

 

[Suzuki x 14]

Bounce Back.
