GDT: Feb 4th Montreal Canadiens VS Ottawa Senators! ITS GAMEDAY! 7pm Eastern

[Tyson]

I initially posted that the Habs won't lose tonight but decided not to jinx them

 

[Habs Halifax]

I'm 80% confident we win. We are probably good for 3-5 goals. Sens would have to have 2 PP goals and 2 even strength goals with some puck luck. Low probability. If they had a good team D and goaltending, I'd feel less confident. But I just don't see their team D holding up strong against our balanced attack

 

[The Price is Right]

Gonna be a tough one. I have a feeling Ottawa will bring their A game. Looking like a high scoring game

G O H A B S G O ! ! ! ! !

Nice job bro!

Matt Murray.... there's a guy who fell off a cliff. That contract I'm sure is causing Melnick to lose sleep. I don't want to jinx it, but that Senators D... LOL!

 

[Eco]

I have a bad feeling that we are going to be playing down to the Sens level and struggle in this series.

I'd be happy to get 2 points out of these 2 games....but we will see.

 

[Krnage]

Go Habs Go ! but im scared of those Sens

 

[OldCraig71]

If the habs play the same speedy/relentless forechecking style it will overwhelm the Sens D and the win will be ours.

I posted this last night in the pre game thread. Seriously, would the Senators win the Calder Cup (AHL) with that roster?

Hope this is not a jinx post for later this year....

 

[angusyoung]

Is Danault scoring tonight?

Last game he had a disgusted / discouraged look on his face...

That's his everyday face!

 

[Poehday]

I dont get why people are nervous? Yes, its a trap game but I dont see anyway we lose against this team unless we run into a hot goalie like we did against Calgary. 4-1 Habs

Does that mean Galchenyuk actually gets in the game?

I really think they would. A bunch of these guys are poven NHLer who would destroy the AHL.

 

[Vachon23]

that the type of game that scare me. Don't forget Ottawa has beat Toronto so we never know how good will Ottawa so I hope where not to confidant

 

[ChikN]

Just got to play tight in our own zone and, with that D of theirs, we will bury them on the counter attack. If we play this right it should look like the nucks games. But it's the Sens, so it will probably go to OT.

 

[thewall]

I can't wait to see the boys rockin the Reverse Retro Blue tonight. The score might be alot closer then we expect. We can't lose this game, Sens coming from Edm, last game of the terrible rosd trip, i bet they cant wait to get home fast enough.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Expect an easy win only to get an easy loss.

 

[nilan30]

Retroactive jersey night tonight?

 

[Tuggy]

Score early and often. Don't give the Sens any hope.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

I see that as a test tonight

I think it's years of trauma, it takes a while to deprogram yourself lol.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I think it's years of trauma, it takes a while to deprogram yourself lol.

Funny but true!

 

[Lshap]

8-2 Montreal. Phil Danault with all 8 goals.

He also picks up 5 assists on his own goals.

 

[Saundies]

Wearing the retros tonight! I'm pumped for a Habs third jersey that actually looks decent.

If the Habs play like their regular selves, they'll win. If they play down to their competition, which some teams tend to do, it'll be a battle.

 

[OB5]

The Sens suck and will trap so it's time to see if the Habs can actually play their game against a wall of bodies. They're all about turnovers and counters and I have no doubt the Habs will pressure the Sens into a lot of turnovers tonight. If they can avoid the inevitable nonsense with Tkachuk they should be fine.

 

[le_sean]

Ottawa always plays the Habs well but surprisingly the Habs have won 12 of the last 15 games against them. There’s no more Pizza line or Stone/Pageau.
