GDT: Game 19: Montreal Canadiens vs Winnipeg Jets 2/25/21 8:00pm EST RDS, TSN2, TSN 690

[A Loyal Dog]

Welcome Dom!

Your first game as the Head Coach of the Montreal Canadiens, and of the NHL in general! You have come a long way, a p'tit gars de Joliette, who won the 2013 Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads, where the Habs very own Jonathan Drouin led the playoffs in assists and points (beating the likes of teammate Nathan MacKinnon and opponent Nikita Kucherov, etc).

We are so very excited to see where you can bring this team, and hopefully there will be lots and lots of free wings for the rest of this season. My fat ass very much looks forward to that.

Also, I would like to thank Claude Julien for everything he has done for the Montreal Canadiens. We were very lucky to have him as our head coach (for the 2nd time), and unfortunately change is always necessary, especially in hockey that keeps evolving.

Here's to you, Claude! Best of luck in your future ventures! Any team would be lucky to have you (just as long as Danault's not part of that team - just kidding ). And, again, thank you.

Also, a special thank you to our former Captain Kirk Muller, who commandeered the ship perfectly during last year's playoffs, giving our youth a chance to shine, and the team a fighting chance to win the impossible.

With that said, let's KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS TONIGHT!


GO GO!

GO GO!

NOT Winnipeg?

 

[Edgy]

Let's see how the boys respond tonight and how long it lasts.
Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

NOT Winnipeg?

Lmao, brain fart! It's fixed now.

 

[habergeon]

I think the boys come out flying tonight, and we win.

 

[blarneylad]

yo bro are you playing on rookie mode?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Win or lose i believe the habs will show up tonight

4-2 Habs

 

[peate]

Teams rarely lose their first game after a coaching change, so I expect a win. Would be kinda embarrassing if they lose. Might depend on who's in net. DD's first big decision.

GOGO​

Great GDT and nice Bad Boys reference, LOL!

I just placed a $40 bet that the Habs are up at least 2-0 against the Jets in the first 10 minutes. I believe we will come out strong.

Ducharme has balls if this isn't injury related.

 

[1909]

Lines and D-combos I would like to see....

Toffoli-Suzuki-Anderson
Drouin-KK-Gally
Tatar-Danault- Lehkonen or Armia
Byron-Evans- Lehkonen or Armia

Edmundson-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Chiarot-Romanov

Price
Allen

 

[1909]

Ducharme has balls if this isn't injury related.

That would be a loud and clear message to Price .... and the rest of the team. I kind of like it.

 

[le_sean]

Ducharme has balls if this isn't injury related.

Well I already love Ducharme.

 

[Mrb1p]

I was going to joke about this GDT being bad and me not liking it for a quick laugh but this is amazing

 

[habergeon]

Ducharme has balls if this isn't injury related.

He's been watching him all year, so he's seen the inconsistency....but I'm with you, holy shit that's some big brass ones if he's not hurt.

One way to shock the team a bit. And Price as well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to have the competitive fire stoked a bit. I'd like to see more compete and consistency out of him.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Byron as 4C and not Evans. Unless Evans is hurt.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Edmundson not on the ice. He might be dealing with an injury. Kulak is with Petry.

 

[le_sean]

Eww. But I get that it worked in the playoffs somewhat. However, Chiarot is the one that needs to sit.

 

[le_sean]

Byron as 4C and not Evans. Unless Evans is hurt.

I hope so because the team has a hard enough time to win faceoffs and Evans is one of the last players that should be scratched.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Looks a lot like Ducharme is giving his vets a clean slate and going back to some of the lines earlier when we were successful..

I don't expect them to stay long if they don't have juice.

 

[Whitesnake]

I guess you have to try to reunite the Danault line. That's all you have left to do. Till he's here. That's the best thing you have.

And people will have to stop saying gets the best wingers. The best wingers are with JK and Suzuki. At least 1 per line.

 

[Draft]

Byron as 4C and not Evans. Unless Evans is hurt.

Wow, Evans not being on the 4th is a bit of a surprise. He's played really well and has been consistent. Not sure how I feel about Byron at centre.

Evans out?
