GDT: Game #20: Montreal @ Columbus, 7 pm | RDS, TSN2

[1909]

Or maybe you just missed Lindy's first two year with NJ.... Because your statement is ridiculous.

I am talking about this season. Of course, NJ is just starting to get success.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I’m ready for tonight’s game.

Maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'm right. I think the Pierre Gervais Book is very disturbing. What he wrote is very unusual and very disturbing for the team. Like the last thing you want to happen in that kind of sport. HUGE distraction. If 20% of the players are affected in 5% of their play on the ice, guess how it affect the entire game in pure pourcentage. And I think 50% of the players are affected and MSL can't do anything. That's a storm, let the time do his job, let the calm come back, there is nothing MLS can do.

Like it was said in some medias, Gervais could have tell only good stories and positive things. But no, he revealed things that should stay in the room. He picked easy victims and he saved Molson, Savard, Gainey, etc.

I wrote it some times and I will go there again. Toxic environment is very damaging. Never underestimate the damage done by toxic writing, toxic talk, etc. Toxic inside a team and toxic in social medias. But it's impossible to solve that problem. Toxicity will only get worse with time. I'm preaching in a desert.

I mean, it's not like 13 players currently on the team either never or barely played under DuChump.

Suzuki, Armia, Eddy, Anderson, Evans, Allen, Drouin (IR) and Byron (LTIR) are the only one who were there for his entire tenure.

 

[Rapala]

The veteran D can't continue being a liability and the vet forwards need to help the 1st line.

True Matheson has to be better because Guhle has been our Best D. I'm thinking while management must be pleased with him they expect more from others.

Vibe might have been weird around the team yesterday though; retired players and org hang around the BC and social circles I’d imagine.. I think I heard Brunet say some people were calling him about whether they were coming off bad in the book ahead of the launch... Probably a good thing they play again tonight; I hope for a truculent, team building one with a Xhekaj Gordie Howe hatty.

 

[Rapala]

On this board, more often than once, posters were criticizing previous coaches without mercy because the team was having bad 1st periods.... We can't criticize MSL ???

Our first period was by far our best previously so he does get a mulligan.

I don't like to reply a contradiction opinion but you bring a point that is too specific. What I mean is the whole atmosphere right now. The distraction. It doesn't matter who were playing under DD. All the players are affected by contagion. But maybe I pay too much attention for this. The game tonight will be revealing, and the next week. We have to look at the energy and the concentration.

Marty St. Genius. One game for Slafkovsky on a higher line. That’s enough apparently, let’s give that spot to the least deserving winger on the team.

 

[Lockin17]

Defense is all mixed up this game,
Ghule with Eddy

No kidding.
I wonder if he as too because Hughes wants to sell Dadonov.
I don't think MSL is that dumb

 

[Colezuki]

That’s just cute eyes because that’s a cute video lol

Overused though, “look at this dog, he’s smiling, emoji”

 

[Team_Spirit]

So, yeah, there's a game tonight.

The excitement is palpable

I got to know Pierre when I met him in 1997. He has brought me into the Habs locker room many times and always came across as a decent guy. I am not a fan of tell all books because some things should be left in the room. I am a bit surprised that he would want this as part of his amazing 3000 game legacy.

He treated me well though.

Lucky you ,, seing that locker must of been awesome

 

[zx81]

Got my earplugs .
Ready for the cannon.

 

[OldCraig71]

Hard to predict this one but we haven't been good in Columbus which is weird because it's not like they have been a dominant team in the league.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Hope Suzuki, Caufield and Slaf have good games.

I have been in the Habs locker room in Carolina many times, got to know many players well. The highlight though was being escorted into the Habs locker room at the Bell Center in 2002. Hanging out with Craig Rivet.
Lots of great memories.

 

[Milhouse40]

Hope Suzuki, Caufield and Slaf have good games.

This year, we should all be more Go Kids than Go Habs!!

 

[Le Tricolore]

right, go Guhle, Harris and anyone else I'm forgetting.

My hope is they're showcasing Dadonov.

Then again, the Rocket keep Mysak on the 4th line and keep AbandonedPotato as the 2nd line centre, so might just be an organizational glitch

 

[Antiillafire]

Marty, Slaf with Monahan and Anderson WAS RIGHT THERE. Why armia

 

[Le Tricolore]

Marty, Slaf with Monahan and Anderson WAS RIGHT THERE. Why armia

Gotta showcase him to trade to the Sens for an unprotected 1st.

 

[The Real Timo]

2 minutes in and they are not down by 3 yet... progress, people!

 

[SupRocket]

Man, I've missed Kovacevic looking like he's skating hard and getting an icing call

 

[Belial]

We didn't allow a goal yet? What is this sorcery?
