Well atleast this should be close to even match-up.

I hope.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Aside from Sandin-Carlson, the practice line/pairings looks fine.

Still gonna be suck though.

My attention has been monopolized by other glaring issues with this team (there are plenty to keep you occupied), so I haven't really been able to evaluate them as a pairing. Obviously they aren't lighting the world on fire offensively, but have they been getting exploited? I think I recall Sandin making a few devastating mistakes, but that's about it.

 

[Holtbyisms]

3-2 MTL wins, sky keeps falling. Goals from Kuzy and McMikey.

 

[pman25]

Ovi used to always light up Montreal in the early season. He’s back tonight

Jmo but they were le bad in games 1 and 2 and slightly better in game 3.

I'm sure the boys know they haven't been great and no better time to get it together than on HNIC at El Forumo

Hope the O gets on track (and the D) ((and the PP)) (((and the intangibles))) ((((and the tangibles))))

 

[msrulo]

Ovi 2 goals tonight?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Will settle for some Ovechkin shots on goal tonight.

 

[Capitals40]

Give it a shot and see what happens

 

[YippieKaey]

4-3 Caps in overtime. Ovi gets one on the pp and Phillips scores the OT winner.

 

[Portable Mink]

Ovi Hattrick please. 6-2 win

Somebody posted this in the Habs GDT and it is too good not to share. Ovie with Markov many years ago. Might have had a couple of drinks when this was taken

Saw Ovi at Russia House once when I was visiting a buddy in Kalorama and he probably ended the night looking very similar to this

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

At the game in Montreal hopefully I get to celebrate a win after

 

[g00n]

A nice MTL matchup should get Ovi going.

 

[PlushMinus]

Come on Kuemper let's have a bounce back and come on defence give Kuemper some damn help tonight!

 

[Brian23]

Did they swap McMichael and Mantha?

Ahh, guess it was a home town thing.

 

[PlushMinus]

jfc Mantha

 

[Brian23]

jfc Mantha

Has a great step up play to steal the puck, but looks like he's moving in slow motion into their zone.

 

[HTFN]

lol I can't believe there was just a roar from the crowd like he can draw a high stick by falling on a stick whose blade is basically still touching the ice

 

[Brian23]

McMichael has looked great but, man, he has got to start burying these chances.

 

[HTFN]

McMichael has looked great but, man, he has got to start burying these chances.

I mean, that one was nice but it wasn't like he missed an open corner or lifted one high, Montreal D and G worked well together to pressure all the right spots.

If anything getting a rebound instead of pounding it wide was positive growth but to my eyes the options there were "get what you can get" or "try and get to the backhand" and I'm not sure he had that

 

[PlushMinus]

Wonder if we'll see Wilson and Xhekaj get into it tonight
