GDT: Game 2: Montreal Canadiens vs Edmonton Oilers 1/16/21 7:00pm EST SN, TVAS, TSN 690

Can someone tell me what Gallagher did? I keep reading, Gally's done, ...done what?

Go Go​

 

[LaP]

I said it many times and i'll said it again and again and again. If Danault is our go to offensive center again we will not make the playoffs (unless there's 24 teams in i did not check the rule yet). I like the guy he's a solid player and a guy you want on your team (depth) to win a cup. But he can't be our go to center.

Also i hope i'm wrong but i have a feeling this season will be the "break it" season of Byron and will confirm him as a 2-3 prime seasons players like we have seen so many times in the past. 2-3 good seasons at the end of the 20ies then it's over. Been there done that. Again hope i'm wrong.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The Coilers are a fast skating team -- and Perry has slowed quite a bit. I'm sure there will be better opponents and times, when it'll be appropriate to use him.

There are only 4 other teams to match!

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

No, they are showing Toronto-Ottawa and Calgary-Vancouver.

Lmao ... greedy league. I haven't renewed and won't be renewing NHL on-ice.

 

[Treb]

Let's win GAMES with our OFFENSIVE PLAYERS all together. Don't kill our vibes with your unnecessary DEFENSIVE TACTICS when we need to score more GOALS.

We scored four goals last game and lost.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

The only smart thing he did in a long long time.

To his defense, he did it pretty well too.

Anderson is now our best RW. Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson are the 1st line

danault is a great 2nd wave line and Kotkaniemi unit can chip in. Love this roster tbh.

Hate to break it to you , but Byron has been a sack of balls for three years, he is overpaid and useless. Can fill a void on the PK sometimes, but that's about it. He can take his salary, his stupid Amish beard, and take a hike far as I'm concerned.

I know this seems counterintuitive...but IMO, I find that Shea Weber actually hinders our PP.

He doesn't really move, he struggles with moving the puck and finding teammates and he shoots no matter if the shooting lane is open.

I know the idea is to get his one time bomb option but when that becomes his only use and ability, it actually becomes an anchor.

You're not wrong, actually..

Weber hasn't been effective on the PP since we've lost Markov.

I think at least two or three posters made comparisons like "better Souray" or "Gorges with a shot and a little more intuition".

But if all you've got is a shot...it can be blocked and thus rendered ineffective.

Weber always needed a feeder into his cannon, first Suter, then Josi. Petry is that Dman that posts points but you just know he doesn't have the elite passing skill a true #1 has. I say James Wisniewski could QB a PP better than Petry.

Weber is better off on the second wave.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

I can’t be sure, but if you’ve seen American Psycho, this was a pretty iconic scene where a bunch of privileged high level executives are doing something as childish as comparing business cards. As the scene plays out, the cards get more impressive.

I think that’s the joke here as each overtime unit gets more impressive or at least better than what we iced Wednesday. I do like the business cards getting a little more fancy as each guy presented LOL!

Gridiron Heights football parody did one one Tom Brady.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Yeah I'm guessing 7pm Edmonton time so 9pm here?

Edit: I guess not, looks like 5pm Edmonton time and 7pm here.

Hmm, with their clocks out of sync, there's a chance we can win it.

Go Go​

He didn’t score game 1 so he’s finished now lol

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Weber is better off on the second wave.

I'd love to see Weber and Romanov on the same wave

 

[le_sean]

Weber is better off on the second wave.

The puck movement on the PP was much better when he was off it. Constantly forcing it to him is hindering their true ability.

WTF did Amish people do to you?? What would be your comments if he had an Afro?

Like who cares if he’s got a beard....geez

Ok

Way to take an obvious attempt to poke fun at Byron's appearance, and turn it into a racial issue. Will you be taking a brave stance against homelessness and social inequalities when you see my next post? Like if I criticize Kulak will you be spouting off gems like 'WOULD YOU BE SAYING SUCH THINGS IF HE WAS HOMELESS???'

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

The most important thing the Habs have to do tonight is play a solid, structured defensive game and hit the living crap out of RNH and Yamamoto...take the rush away from McJesus & Draisaitl and make them work hard for their cookies...the recipe to beat Edmonton is pretty much the same as the one for the Leafs; don't let them dictate the pace and run you all over the ice...if they want to try and play keep-away on the perimeter, let them cycle and cycle and cycle on the outside, as long as we keep the middle clear and let Carey see what's coming...counter-punch with a heavy forecheck and BANG THEM AROUND whenever the opportunity presents...get Gallagher involved early by parking his wee arse in front of Koskinen and being the headache he's known for (preferably off of Danault's wing and on KK's wing)...and someone NEEDS to grab Chairot and Petry by their collective noggin's and tell them no stupid pinching...

Nothing special, only that he is worst 1st liner in league.

 

[Lebowski]

Fully expect McDavid to tear this team a new one tonight and I'll enjoy every minute of it. Can't even be mad at it, he's a guy I could see putting up 2+ PPG in a full season at his peak.

Why would they be a fragile team mentally? They have a lot of veteran leadership and an abundance of intangibles. The season has barely started.

I’m speaking about last season, blowing up leads and going into long losing streaks. We had the same veteran leadership with the same intangibles and that didn’t prevent us from struggling and breaking down.

I know it’s very early but this is a short season and a strong start of the season is crucial after being a bottom feeding team for 3 years.

 

[Jabba11]

The key to win tonight against the Oilers, is to stay away from the penalty box. Just like any games versus anybody else. We have a heavy dangerous team too. They should be scared of us. Not the other way around.
