GDT: Game 17: Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators 2/21/21 7:00pm EST SN, RDS, TSN 690

Purely speculative but I think suzuki must be a little out of shape. Nhl gearing towards leaner players the last few years 208lbs at 5’11. Average forward 6’1 198lbs. If he was 6’1 he would be 220ish. In my opinion he’s to heavy. His speed is really bad. It’s something he’s going to have to address

There is no explosiveness to his game right now.

 

[mols47]

There’s no line to shutdown like against the Leafs but can we just please put Danault with Lehkonen and Armia. If he’s going to bring down wingers offensively, bring down ones that aren’t going to score anyways.

This would be a pretty sweet shutdown line

 

[Tyson]

Wonder if it's time to make some moves on D.

Romanov - Weber
Kulak - Petry
Chiarot - Edmundson

I know. Petry and Edmundson shouldn't be separated but Petry and Kulak always play well together.

Give Fleury a game, at least he hits

 

[Tyson]

I disagree. The kid can handle and even thrive playing 18 to 20 minutes with Weber.

If Mete can play with Weber as he did quite a bit the past few seasons then Romanov easily can.

 

[ahmedou]

Enough with this coaching. Their motto is: Play, Outcoached, Lose.

Claude has had his run here...again. Time for a new coaching staff. This season is going south so implement the systems you want to run and get them used to it. If they improve on ice, then MB can try to get help for the playoffs. If they continue to play poorly, trade Danault, Tatar etc and use the picks to improve by either drafting or by using them as currency to acquire players.

 

[Walrus26]

And Tkachuk. He's a psycho, and with 77 SOG so far. Most in the league I think. And also Dadonov. The guy has looked really good the last few games. This will not be an easy game at all.

Expect Tkachuk to be clutching his face often tonight regardless of how close anyone's stick actually is to him.

Nothing wrong with being stocky, coming from someone with a rubgy player's build myself. I wonder if he's carrying a knock?

 

[Habssince89]

Danault should get 4C minutes tonight. He's been useless and honestly I think Evans deserves a game with more responsibility and better line mates

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson
Tatar-KK-Toffoli
Byron-Evans-Gallagher
Lehk-Danault-Armia

Another week of losses and the best thing that could happen is for Molson to grow some balls and get rid of Bozovin before he makes anymore idiotic moves. Let the new guy start putting his own people in place and set the direction for the franchise . After nine years and three failed 5 year plans this clown has to go before he creates more long term damage

tbere is something wrong with it when you are that slow.

Tatar and Gallagher can battle for the 6th spot in the top 6.

Tatar Kotkaniemi Toffoli
Armia Danault Gallagher

Could also work.

Ideally we add a top 6/9 winger at some point this season, perhaps Caufield, and we have

Drouin Suzuki Anderson
_______ Kotkaniemi Toffoli
Tatar Danault Gallagher
Lehkonen Evan's Armia
Byron

Win by 5 or lose by 8! Either way, there will be LOLs aplenty!

I really wish that MB reacted faster, unfortunately if history has taught us anything he's slow on the uptake and keeps coaches and players well past their due date.

If we go on another losing streak, I totally expect a few 3rd/4th line trades, but nothing drastic. I think we're just stuck with this shit for a while. As with last year, this shit is on Molson and has been for a while.

 

[Tyson]

A decent team has been assembled that continues to be run by outdated coaching and methods.

Fire Clode and maybe Muller.

Molson is around 50. He hasn't had the balls to fire MB yet and I don't see any chance of him doing it. I agree MB has to go but unless the team is sold I just don't see it happening. A new coach maybe, new GM would shock the shit out of me.

Maybe this also rids us of that idiot Bergevin who some say wins every trade yet we continue to see a mediocre team. Something has to give.

Sadly this shit we are stuck with will remain until Weber and Price's contracts are off the books. If MB wants anything from Nashville, I'd be telling Poile that Weber wants to retire and the cap recapture fees will cripple them. Once Weber is gone, Price may want to waive to go to Vancouver, Seattle or somewhere closer to home. Hopefully

 

[Canadienna]

Claude needs to harness the inspiration he had in the bubble to relegate Phil Danault to the third line.

We can still roll 4 lines, but Danault isn't bringing his defensive game and so it's really no longer worth the offensive sink.

Romanov needs to play with Shea. I think they will pair well together and it would be good for Romanovs development getting away from Mete/Kulak. Chiarot needs to realize he can't keep making the same mistakes.

It's time.

Toffoli - Kotkaniemi - Gallagher (~16m TOI)
Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson (~16m TOI)
Tatar - Danault - Byron (~15m TOI)
Lehkonen - Evans - Armia (~13m TOI)

Edmundson - Petry (~23m TOI)
Romanov - Weber (~21m TOI)
Chiarot - Fleury (~ 16m TOI)

 

[Halakitlikethat]

4 years of Claude and the team has been mediocre to bad the entire time . I’ve seen enough.

also Chiarot, Edmundson and Danault need to start taking turns getting scratched .

Geoff couldn't tell the difference between a good or bad job by Bergevin -- unless it becomes about beer, condos or selecting which color of covering tarp goes to which seating section.
