Pre-Game Talk: #Bolts@Habs (15-10-19/NBCSN, TSN2, RDS)

[Lshap]

I'm going to the game and was really psyched to see Suzuki, with the hope that Fleury and/or Poehling would also be playing. Not happy that none of our highly touted prospects will be there, but I'll reserve judgment until I see how they're handled over the next couple of months. Sitting out isn't automatically a punishment or an anti-development move, as some are presuming. It all depends how the coaches are framing it -- players can perceive it as a loss of trust or a way for them to learn the ropes. I have more faith in Julien than Therrien.

KK's playing really well. Hopefully he'll have a good game with Drouin, another potentially big part of the future, and Armia.

Hopefully Claude can find the right linemates for Domi. Could be a big opportunity for Byron or Weal.

 

[Maliki2]

Im going to die waiting for MB and Cj to be fired. This is insane.

 

[HuGo Sham]

bolts will be angry and ready after losing to ottawa. i sense a long night for us

 

[Runner77]

Mete gets a rush and snipes it top shelf, book it

I’m completely won over by that cause you used “book it.”

 

[Runner77]

Drouin takes a pass from Mete and breaks away, cuts to centre and is one on one against Sergachev. What happens next?

Circles back for a fantastical pond hockey move into his zone and the period runs out of time.

If Dino reads that quote from the Bolts's twitter account, guaranteed he's going to proclaim on va en manger une tabarnac!

 

[Justin11]

Can’t say I’m shocked here and no one should be. Just a reminder to all;

Coach: Claude Julien
GM: Marc Bergevin
President of Hockey operations: Geoff Molson

what can possibly go wrong? Lol

 

[LaP]

I smell a win. 3-2.

I am just expecting the reverse, like it was the case vs St-Louis.

96 points last season... two-three points from a Playoffs spot in a tough Conference....

If a 20 yo kid thinks like that, he doesn't belong to the NHL.

missed the playoffs, no matter how you cut it, they missed the playoffs.

 

[Runner77]

Well Claude, what's up with Fleury.

Julien: "At a certain point, if he's not playing, we'll have to take a decision."

Seems like the decision is pretty much taking itself.

 

[Rapala]

I smell a win. 3-2.

I smell a win too I'm just not sure of the score or for which team.

 

[26Mats]

Well Claude, what's up with Fleury.

Julien: "At a certain point, if he's not playing, we'll have to take a decision."

Seems like the decision is pretty much taking itself.

Unless Folin, or the Chiarot-Folin pair, falters.

In those cases, we should see Chiarot-Fleury tested as the bottom pair, perhaps at home on a night we're playing a weaker team.

So Folin in our top 6 for a whole year

Alright ... make my decision even more easier to simply not watch this season. I was still on the fence.

I smell a win. 3-2.

With the way our defence has started this season, we’re going to need to score 5 against Vasi to even have a chance.

Juulsen, Fleury, and maybe Leskinen will get their shots - if they play well in Laval and if either Folin falters or there is an injury which allows them to come in and show their stuff.

 

[26Mats]

96 points last season... two-three points from a Playoffs spot in a tough Conference....

And on pace for 98.4 points this year so far...

 

[1909]

Find who is missing in that team shot taken this morning ?

 

[Tighthead]

96 points last season... two-three points from a Playoffs spot in a tough Conference....

What a tremendous moral victory. A season for the ages.

 

[Tighthead]

And on pace for 98.4 points this year so far...

If they lose tomorrow will you be telling us all they are on pace for 82?

 

[26Mats]

If they lose tomorrow will you be telling us all they are on pace for 82?

My pointing out we're on pace for 98.4 points is just for those that are saying, we only have 1 regulation win, the team sucks, trade everyone, fire the coach and GM, play the young guys and tank and go for Lafreniere, etc...

5 goals is doable I suppose and we don’t have to worry about 6 being scored on Niemi.
