Pre-Game Talk: Game 20: Montreal Canadiens vs Nashville Predators 11/20/21 7:00pm EST SNE, TVAS, TSN 690

**News about Bergevin broke while I was making this GDT, so please refrain from personal attacks on MB regarding his COVID status**

Yes, it's a day early but given the mad rush as of late getting the GDT up, I figure I'd save our usual contributors the headache. Game is still over 27 hours away, so lines may change.

On a serious note, best wishes to Bergy and a speedy recovery.

Premature

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Last game until Wednesday. I still hate the fact we are using the kids in such terrible measure.

Poehling Caufield Primeau should be in the AHL and Norlinder should be in Sweden.

I don't expect much , Nashville are a flat team like Pittsburgh but who knows at this point.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

If our opponent gifted us a 2 goal lead to start every game so far we’d only be 8-9-2

That’s how bad we have been

5-1 Nashville

Too bad the game is in Montreal, we won't see a banner lifted for [fill the blank]

 

[Rapala]

Man at first I thought how the heck did I not know there was a game tonight.

Welcoming the western conference champions

Maybe we'll see them retiring Weber's number soon

I don't remember ever seeing a Friday Habs game. Not counting playoffs, has it ever happened?

It's very rare but I feel we have 1-2 a season? Definitely not the first time.

I think you're right, in Buffalo maybe?

Well this year Buffalo on the 26th of this month is indeed a Friday. I took a look and we have two more in April against the Isles and Panthers near season's end.

It happens on the road, but I'm having a real hard time remembering a friday home game.

It happens often on back-to-backs. What's really rare is a Habs game on a Friday night without playing on Saturday

That might be my reasoning actually.

We played a bunch last season

March 19th vs Vancouver on back-to-backs with Saturday (before Covid hit us) + 2 more in April, then again on back-to-backs. I don't know if they would have been there without Covid

Before that, the last time we played on a Friday night at home was April 7th, 2017

Yeah, the whole covid season was a blitz, especially after they resumed play from the covid outbreak. That's probably why I don't remember.

It was already a condensed schedule, and then they had to condense it even more.

Early GDT...Thought I'd lost my mind and we did play tonight.

Not cool man, not cool.

 

[sandviper]

Man at first I thought how the heck did I not know there was a game tonight.

We’ve had days where we had no GDT until the last minute. Guess 27 hours early (at the time) will balance it out.

Lousey .....but better than I would have guessed.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Ready for another good laugh!

I hope it’s the variant that makes those green ass boogers drip out of your nose…

Can Dom get his 20th career regular season win in his 58th career game in game 20 tomorrow night? Not likely but stay tuned.
