GDT: Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens 1/19/16 7:30pm EST- SNE, RDS (HD), TSN 690

[GeoStride87]

I watch all games on RDS in Edmonton, at a subscription rate of 5/month. Last year was Rogers CI, this year I learned RDS IS NOT blacked out.

WHAT?! I'm in Calgary and have been watching on RDS for the last several years before the Rogers Deal. RDS was blacked out last year so I got CI and again this year.

Therrien's turned our GM into Ringo Starr

"No no no no he don't xxxxx xx no more he's tired of waking up on the floor"
"No thank you please it only makes him sneeze and then it makes it hard to find the door"

 

[Habs178]

I live in Southwestern Ontario, and it's blacked out here. I have RDS, as well because it comes with TSN with Bell.

I'm starting to think the blackout is in Ontario only. But who knows.

Are we sure Barberio is in the line-up tonight - I was expecting the Habs to return him to St. John's before the max 10th game that makes him waiver eligible again. Thought we'd see Bartley tonight

He's with the club for the year, and will most ikely play. He's the new Weaver.

Michel Therrien on Alex Galchenyuk in August 2015...

""I'm not going to put Galchenyuk in a position where he's going to lose his confidence," Therrien said. "You don't want young kids to lose their confidence."

"Whether he's going to be a centerman, whether he's going to play on the wing, we'll find out pretty quick," Therrien said of Galchenyuk.

Therrien in October 2015 discussing Galchenyuk's potential struggles...

"He's going to go through tough times and it's normal," said Therrien. "I'm expecting that. But the plan for him — we want him to be a centreman and we're ready to be patient with him. He showed us a lot of good stuff in training camp; I was impressed about the way he played, the way he sees the ice, his positioning without the puck."

Michel Therrien is full of ****.

I see tonight's line up, and specifically the lines and I see panic. Panic. Everything they thought they believed going out the window when it's tested. This isn't character, it's panic.

There is no reason whatsoever for Galchenyuk to be playing the wing right now. None. He should be between Patches and Gallagher.

Our top line is not scoring, actually no one is scoring. And moving David Desharnais and Weise into the top 6 is not going to change that.

This is beyond frustrating.

makes perfect sense actually...


Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Fleischmann-Plekanec-Weise
Eller/Desharnais-Byron
Smith-Pelly-Mitchell-Flynn

I would like to see Fleischmann given a chance on the top 6 which hasn't happen yet this season.

This is it, boys and girls! Potentially the last game Toenails Mike! Let's do this!

 

[Dagistitsyn]

would love to see Emelin run over Chara

I can't see a scenario where this is even possible

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

I can't see a scenario where this is even possible

...the parking lot??...

 

[HabsandSmokies]

Why is our new allstar not in the game...could use a big guy like him against the Booins.

 

[donghabs98]

Sound advice. You have over 600 vCash, any chance you might be betting some on the Bruins?

I might have placed a small bet. It's the Bruins so I think the Habs have a real shot, if they can't even beat the Bruins, then we have problems.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Touche

 

[didimentionlarseller]

I can't see a scenario where this is even possible

i dunno Emelin has been hitting a lot lately and Chara is getting more pylon'ish

without Looch who is Emelin gonna target on the B's - Marchand maybe?

Wise man. You want to see if the Classic jerseys work in our favor.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

This is it, boys and girls! Potentially the last game Toenails Mike! Let's do this!

I kind of want him to survive this game. Why? Seven years ago, Therrien was fired after a loss to Toronto. Come Saturday night, we can make it a full circle effect. Good vibes for a Cup run after too.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Yeah but I mean, Emelin gunna go in the forecheck? Or Chara entering the zone on his side with his head down? Both unlikely

true meh maybe he gets in a good hit on Marchand that would be sweet

 

[Jee]

 

[Alex514]

We're winning by default tonight.

Just because its the Bruins.

Oh and Bourne Endeavour, i love the idea! We can only hope..

 

[Plekaturtlenec]

Will be an interesting game. First goal will be huge.....Bruins score first and Habs confidence is shot right away, but if they score first maybe they'll feel it's business as usual vs. the Bruins.

They'll be out for vengeance after the Winter Classic, and Habs are fighting for their lives. Should be interesting.

 

[Habsawce]

 

[Haaabs]

We've traded a player in between periods. Maybe tonight we'll fire a coach. Youppi is going to be behind the bench to start the second. Hell, he'd probably use Galchenyuk at Center

 

[Brainiac]

Why is our new allstar not in the game...could use a big guy like him against the Booins.

Seriously?

 

[HabsandSmokies]

Seriously?

not at all
