GDT: Carolina Hurricanes vs Montreal Canadiens: 2/7/16 2:30pm EST SN, RDS

[Mad Brills*]

And don't forget to grind deez guys! Grindin' all da udder guys is key to da tank!

we are a grinding team. Accept it.

 

[PaulD]

We can only hope. But it looks like 3 wins per month gives Michelle job security. Oh how the bar has been lowered for this once mighty franchise!

 

[badbrains]

Grindin'? Maybe we've been doing it wrong....

 

[Tyson]

Scrivens should get the start. Will Beaulieu become a permanent member of the MT doghouse?
Will Pateryn ever play another game for the Habs?
Emotional letdown today?
72 days since the Habs won 2 in a row?

 

[Brainiac]

I just had a dream that DD got injured, done for the season.

At first, I thought, finally, we'll get to see what this lineup is capable of. Our center line was Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Eller. Good... very good!

But then it dawned on me... we need Desharnais in his spot if we want to keep losing games.

 

[PaulD]

No Coaching Please

Hopefully the team repeats the routine from the other two afternoon games this season.

No morning skate with coach.

No game day meetings with coach.

Habs have only done this twice this season according to Weiss. Won both game by identical scores of 5-1.

Lesson? Stay as far away from that poser of a coach as possible.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Beaulieu's out again

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Beaulieu's out again

Pending trade

Or just the usual MT BS?

 

[PaulD]

Like Tinordi (who was deemed good enough to play in all five play off games in 013) MT will "develop" NB right off the team.

 

[Haaabs]

Excited to see how McDavid Desharnais does today. -1 in a 5-1 win? He needs more TOI, PP and better linemates. This Pacioretty guy is holding him back.

Hes already in the process of making Pateryn a better person.

Red Light Racicot

When the 016 Habs drop Michelle Therrien his contrtibution to the club will missed as much as Red Light Racicots'

What is the big deal. This team survived losing the likes the Flower, Robinson, Chelios, Bowman, Serge Savard.........lose this guy.....for the second time. Enough is enough now.

 

[lo striver]

Condon is in? MT is not going with the hot goalie?

 

[Natey]

Looking forward to another great performance today. Confidence could flow high if we win back to back games that we dominate.

Let's go boys

Two games in 24 hours.

Don't doubt it.

Unfortunately, there's only so much confidence can do when you have such a severe lack of skill in the lineup.

 

[Born in 1909]

Yesterday was a major let down after a long stretch of good tanking performances, the boys need a drop of confidence and to get back to the basics that made them them the most unsuccessful team in the league. I'm talking about dump and no chase, below average goaltending, weak perimeter shots to the opposing goalies chest and a slow/ineffective powerplay.

Go out there and give it your least, concede the first goal and let Carolina dictate the flow of the game.

I won't let one good performance ruin the trust I have in this team's tanking abilities.

The Hab players have to win sometimes, especially in front of so many little kids.

They are not total losers.

But for the sake of getting MT out, yes bring back the L's asap.

Desharnais is exactly where he should be right now. Centering Max and Weise and eating big minutes.

 

[beaverBFP]

I'm pretty sure Scrivens is starting. No way he has an other good game today with his consistency, right?

 

[donghabs98]

No lineup changes from yesterday's game.

 

[Discipline Daddy]

What the **** is this lineup?

Versteeg-E Staal-Lindholm
Skinner-Rask- Di Giuseppe
Nordstrom- J Staal- Nestrasil
Gerbe-McClement-Nash

How are they ahead of us?

Indeed.

Basically, we have really good coaching who insists on all players giving it their all every shift. No passengers. Our coach has scratched like half the team at one point or another and has liberally used AHL callups. It's working. Our AHL guys like Di Giuseppe who looked like a total bust the past few years are scoring well. No one is scoring a ton, but we have good scoring by committee and by the D. And the 1st and 3rd lines play excellent 2-way hockey. Jordan Staal has made Nestrasil and Nordstrom look like legit NHL players, and I credit that almost entirely to Staal himself. Clearly our forwards need a major talent upgrade to be a contender, but right now we have the whole is better than the sum of its parts thing going for us. The biggest reason for our team success overall is our defense. It's easily the best defense I've seen on a Canes team since the year we won the cup. However if you catch us on a night when Hanifin looks 19 then you could score a few quick goals.

If no injuries or a dman like Gilbert traded I doubt it since the Habs now have 2 dmen sitting. How MT handled Tinordi and Pateryn this year has been ridiculous.

 

[NobleSix]

Please just do something right for once Habs and start losing again.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wait...we're playing again? lol, goes to show how much I'm paying attention lately.

Canes gon' win.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Christ, beaulieu's getting traded isn't he?
