GDT: Buffalo Sabres vs Montreal Canadiens- 11/29/14 7:00pm EST City, TVA, TSN 690

[68*]

Hope Emelin destroys Gionta for making him lose 11k

 

[Habs Icing]

After seeing that pic of Gorgeous Josh and Pinto Brian, I'm asking myself did Emelin hit Gionta last night with his shoulder or his knee cap? Gorges isn't a tall man but Gionta looks real small next to him.

 

[Habs Icing]

I wanna see Allen lay Gionta out on centre-ice.

If serious, a statement like that says a great deal about an individual's personality.

Really? What do you think it says about allen's personality?

 

[Wats]

Would be pretty funny if Habs manage to get swept by the Sabres on the B2B. No changes required though, still #1.

 

[Habs Icing]

No hockey fan has wanted their player to lay a hit on an opposing player, their captain no less, on the team that just beat us? I'm clearly a sociopath hidden in plain clothes - hide your kids away.

Is this a case of in vino veritas or your case in Jacko Danielas veritas?

Results > all.

Don't care that the foundation of my home is rotting.. As long as it keeps standing.

So what are you telling us? The reason you hate Therrien s o much is because he built your house?

why? Hitting is legal not only that it's encouraged

Wow has anyone seen Gorges pregame interview? The guy was on the verge of tears. I was never of fan of his in terms of skill, but it pulled at the heart strings. You can tell it meant the world to him to be a Hab. Almost made me want him back. Hope he returns one day at a lesser contract.

"he ate babies and killed puppies on his free time, and he liked to push handicaped children down the stairs"

I miss him

Gretzky level of emotion.

The guy was always a warrior, but business always takes precedence. Not the first time someone's heart gets broken. We're not robots.

That's why business people are generally awful humans.

Yeah I still remember Cole's reaction to getting traded. It was a great move by Bergevin but man, watching his exit interview was sad. You could hear his voice cracking talking about his teammates. I don't know if I'd have the heart to do it, good thing Bergevin is tough.

I miss him too but the team we have now is different. I feel like all the guys genuinely like playing for the team so it's not as though I can say "Gorges should replaced some of these heartless players". I could have easily said that a few years ago with the Kostitsyns, Ryder, and even Vanek last year. We make fun of the term a lot but Bergevin has done a good job assembling a character team.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Means just because my house is still standing doesn't mean I shouldn't fix the rotting foundation.

Just because we are winning games doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize the glaring problems that will eventually lead to a collapse.

Cole was a true Hab and he was only here for just over a year. Gorges too. Real good guys, hard working guys who loved the team and understood what it meant to be a Hab.

Gionta never did seem to get it - and chasing the dollar by signing with the league's WORST team in OUR division was just the most glaring, recent example of his mercenary tendencies. I don't understand how Habs fans could abide having that smurf be the face of the franchise.

Criticize yeah okay

Turn every bad thing in the world against DD and MT, not so sure


there was at least 4 people who posted "well DD can't do that" after Ennis' goal last night, that's just an agenda

I agree that Gionta never got it. He seems pretty detached from the whole situation. I mean, he was our captain for 5 years but you could tell that a lot of players took more room in the locker room.

Canadiens Montréal ‏@CanadiensMTL 5m5 minutes ago
Confirmed: Dustin Tokarski gets the start in goal against the Sabres. No other roster changes tonight. #GoHabsGo

Why does he do this? Our D is old and slow. There's no reason to not put Gilbert back in the line-up. Its back-to-back.

Ugh.

Ugh.

I don't like the make-up of our D right now. A notable lack of footspeed.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

We went from a mobile defense to a defense slower than last year. Why?

 

[Skip Bayless]

We went from a mobile defense to a defense slower than last year. Why?

Well, last year we had Gorges and Murray. Not better in that department. At least this year we thought we'd see Tinordi and Beaulieu getting their opportunity, but I think the organization had much higher expectations than what they saw from them coming into this year. Same for Gilbert.

 

[WeThreeKings]

The thing is.. the D looks a lot more mobile with just Beaulieu-Gilbert in there. Most mobile would be with Tinordi in that grouping as well.

Therrien is in his glory with his slow footed veteran D men. I'm sure JJD loves having Allen to throw out there like Murray.

 

[mus1cx]

I have a feeling we might lose this one

Higher expectations? I'm still trying to figure out what Tinordi did (other than being 22) that warranted him getting sent down.

He was young and made a mistake.

That's all it takes to get drawn-and-quartered by Therrien. If he was 40 years old, ****, he'd be playing 30 minutes a night.
