Pre-Game Talk: Be The Spark: #KingsHabs (11/10/2018 ; 19:30 PM ; RDS, TSN2, FS-W)

[Habs Icing]

I think this game against L.A.will be extremely revealing. I suspect this version of the Habs may have trouble against teams like L.A., Anaheim and Winnipeg. Big, fast, bruising teams. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[MXD]

Only reason I referred to the simplicity of poutine is how easy it is to substitute one or two ingredients to turn it into a foreign dish. Every culture has its version of gravy or sauce or its version of unrefined soft cheese. Have both of these replace the standard gravy and cheese curds, and you have (insert foreign heritage here) poutine.

Satay Poutine and PB Poutine are great and are great ways to go Asian-ish for the Poutine.

You guys are treading on dangerous grounds -- we have a large contingent of foodies in here and I can't tell you how many threads have been derailed on account of it.

That said, keep 'em coming.

Bergevin started it.

 

[Habsawce]

How about Hawaiian poutine!

Oh, yes. Who can forget this:

Apparently, they're gonna have 16 beers on tap.

... Molson or Molson-owned crap, of course.

IPA du Nord-Est (because HYPA can't happen) or Bust

Au rack à bécyk à 3heures.

Breakfast poutine! 2 eggs and peameal bacon. That would be splendid, I'm going to call Geoff and make it happen.

Can I wrap my wrists?

 

[overlords]

Oh, yes. Who can forget this:

I also blame whatever asshole decided to give us a week in between games on the first month of the season. My internal hockey clock is going off like crazy and the only cure is shitposting on hf.

 

[Habs Halifax]

A bigger team but not a fast one.

Teams have their own systems, but they do adjust for their opponents. Right now we have sprung a new system and it will be interesting to see what happens when teams adjust for what we are doing.

Our game on exit is to use our speed and quick , short passes up in transition. I am guessing at some point teams will employ a two man forecheck on the puck, with a guy somewhere on the puck side of our D zone to cut off any cross ice pass and another guy on the puck side boards to cut off our winger. If we get it out we would likely have odd man rushes, if we dont, we get hemmed in. I think that's when our lack of size could hurt us. But so far so good.

We typically have not done well against them in recent years. Should be a good measure to see if our speed transition game works against them.

 

[Sysez]

Italian poutine is actually not bad. The sauce marries well with the chesses curds and the ensemble has a nice flavor.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I would normally agree with you on this one.
Now with Campbell or Budaj in net for the Kings....i don't.

Quick not playing that game?

Kotkaniemi is the fries
Drouin the Cheese
Gallagher the gravy

Drouin is that weird bit of onion ring that somehow made it into your plate.

Nope, injury...will be out for a couple of weeks.

Probably going to have some TDD selection which, considering the rest of the options, could be worse.

Bell center is probably the only place where I'd buy TDD now.

That would be Karl Alzner

Drouin is the dead rat that got you a 25000$ settlement at La Belle Province

Fried pickle.

Interesting. Lets see how many shots we generate on their back-up.

I always considered the mainstreams of TDD to be completely awful. Like, the Docker might be a better offering.

I would play Plekanec for the next 2 games this week and then send him to Laval to give DLR a roster spot.
