He seemed mad on the bench afterward

He probably tripped on something on account of his visor fog.

My lineup:

Toffoli - Suzuki - Anderson
Drouin - KK - Gallagher
Tatar - Danault - Lehkonen
Armia - Evans - Perry

Edmundston - Petry
Romanov - Weber
Chiarot - Kulak

Allen

 

[WeThreeKings]

My lineup:

Toffoli - Suzuki - Anderson
Drouin - KK - Gallagher
Tatar - Danault - Lehkonen
Armia - Evans - Perry

Edmundston - Petry
Romanov - Weber
Chiarot - Kulak

Allen

I would do;
Tatar-Suzuki-Anderson
Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Toffoli
Drouin-Evans-Gallagher
Byron-Danault-Armia

Romanov-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Mete-Chairot

 

[Big Empty]

Suzuki, KK, Toffoli, Anderson, Tatar, and Gallagher are clearly part of the solution. Make your top 6 around those guys.

Tatar - Suzuki - Anderson
Toffoli - KK - Gally

Speaking of which ... here are your good luck mascots for tonight's game.

 

[Hfbsux]

I would do;
Tatar-Suzuki-Anderson
Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Toffoli
Drouin-Evans-Gallagher
Byron-Danault-Armia

Romanov-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Mete-Chairot

I like it. Kulak-Petry are good together.

My lineup:

Toffoli - Suzuki - Anderson
Drouin - KK - Gallagher
Tatar - Danault - Lehkonen
Armia - Evans - Perry

Edmundston - Petry
Romanov - Weber
Chiarot - Kulak

Allen

I like it, reward Suzuki for his play and try to get KK going a little bit more. Danault needs to get his minutes cut more until he wakes up and does something

Danault and Price..

they need to do something with Price too.. either play him until he gets into a groove, or sit him until Allen falters.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Shit! LOL, I didn't even know we were playing tonight as I thought our next game was against the Leafs.

I really wanted Allen to play Saturday but looks like he's tonight and Price back on Saturday...

McDavid/Draisaitl or the Leafs. Neither games are going to be easy for the goalies. If Allen wins one of the games, it’s a success. What does it do for Price’s confidence if Allen has yet another really strong game after he had another mediocre one? Well that’s where it starts to get interesting.

Play Allen tonight and the next 2 which gives Price 11 days until next Sunday's game vs. Ottawa. A little bit of a reset and extended time with Waite to work on things could be helpful.

Although I also wouldn't mind playing Price next Saturday and save Allen for an easier win vs. the Sens.

This is what I hate about teams having preset schedules for their goalies before the season even starts. I’ve never coached pro obviously, but I always went off gut when I had goalies splitting time.

I hope we don't have a hangover from last night's debacle. The Oilers can torch us early if we aren't awake when the puck drops.

 

[Rapala]

Don't want to lose 2 in a row. Must win!

GHG!!!

A loss and our home record starts looking a tad bit crappish.

Debacle? lol

 

[Rapala]

Debacle? lol

Seriously you thought we looked good?

 

[417]

Seriously you thought we looked good?

I certainly didn't think it was a debacle lol

The Habs have played a few "meh" games, including last night...but I don't think we've seen a "debacle" yet.

Danault has been the fourth worst center this season, no reasons to keep riding him as a top 6 center at this point. Let him find his game on the fourth line. Miss me with that vanilla player BS, he's always been a floater and innefective but now its even worse, at least he used to win his board battles but now he's just flat out losing all of them.

Tatar-Suzuki-Anderson
Toffoli-Kotkaniemi-Gallagher
Drouin-Evans-Lekhonen
Byron-Danault-Armia/Perry

Similarly to the Danault line, the Chiarot experiment needs to end.

Edmundson-Petry
Mete-Weber
Chiarot-Romanov

Agree on everything.

 

[The Great Weal]

I would do;
Tatar-Suzuki-Anderson
Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Toffoli
Drouin-Evans-Gallagher
Byron-Danault-Armia

Romanov-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Mete-Chairot

I dont know why you are still shitting on Drouin and Edmundson. They are far from the problem. Kotkaniemi and Danault need to step up. They have 12 points and 1 goal combined which is bad. Lehkonen outside of his PK chances doesnt really do much so I dont know why he's in the top 6.

Mete should never be in the lineup unless there's an injury, he blows.

That being said, the main issue right now is Price.

The latter. Sit him. Maybe he needs to spend more time with his wife and the dog. I've so had it with Price. The 10M that Habs are wasting on him could be that 2nd line center or a puck moving defenseman.

 

[The Real Timo]

... and apparently Drouin is pretty happy and having fun (despite having what... about 2 goals in last 50 games?)
Jonathan Drouin n’a jamais eu autant de plaisir

Yet, never gets called in the media. Same for Danno. I think RDS was all over how great Danno is yesterday. Sigh.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Saturdays game against Toronto is an away game. There is a chance Price will be awake for the game.

 

[ChikN]

Would really appreciate it if Tatar, Danault and Weber could wake the F UP.

Kids will have ups and downs all year we need our vets to play well night in night out. Chiarot has been putrid too but he’s not as important as the other 3.

GO HABS GO!!

Yeah, I don't think Weber even got 1 shot on net from his slapshot this season? All were blocked or hit 10 miles from the net.

KK is a kid that gets paid less than a mil. Yes, would be nice if he would chip in every now and then. Drouin, on the other hand gets paid 6M and does sweet FA game after game after game, year after year. And gets a free pass from d'chez nous medias.
