Caps lineup looks more better

Lessgo! I am ready. Getting steaks tonight.

 

[the]

Please no more Slaf with Gallagher

 

[Kennerback]

Drouin the hero we need. But is he the hero we deserve?

 

[The Real Timo]

Gustafson... is that THE Gustafson that almost lead Habs to the stanley cup 2 years ago?

Drouin the hero we need. But is he the hero we deserve?

 

[morhilane]

Drouin is apparently slotting in for Pitlick according to Engels. More info at 5pm when MSL have his pre-game media availability.

Habs had no morning skate today. Only Monty (he should be the starter), Pezetta and Pitlick went on the ice.

Young defense.....meet Mr Ovechkin.

 

[Talik Sanis]

I'm uncertain as to why Hoffman isn't on the fourth line at this point, given what we've seen of him in the preseason and past two games.

Blend those lines, just not every shift as with some past couches.

Young defense.....meet Mr Ovechkin.

Hey, let's do our part to aid him in beating Gretzky's record.

 

[Canadienna]

Pitlick, who looked great in preseason, hasn't been great in the first two.

I'm okay with Jo getting his spot for a game.

I do hope they try Slaf with some other linemates before they send him down.

 

[Bee Holder]

Ovi is getting a HT confirmed. What a beauty!

Then again, beauty is in the eye of the bee holder...

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Caps are an old one line team without Backstrom.

But they will probably win because we're tired.

F the Caps.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Where's Backstrom

 

[red devil]

Where's Backstrom

Hip surgery in the summer and is on LTIR

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Hip surgery in the summer and is on LTIR

That's a plus for us.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Montembeault is in. He can be outstanding (see Dallas game last year), or putrid. We'll see which one we get.

I would've dressed Pezz for this one, but Drouin getting in over Pitlick isn't a bad idea. He needs ice & Pitlick hasn't played well. Probably see Drouin on the PP, I imagine.

Back to back for Montreal & Caps are 0-2 to begin season, so I expect to see some desperation from Caps.

4-1 loss.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Where's Backstrom

Wilson is also on LTIR with a torn ACL.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Poor Evans

 

[red devil]

That's a plus for us.

The Caps without Backstrom are weaker but it is there home opener and they are 0-2. I expect them to come out extra motivated.

 

[Kennerback]

Time to unshackle Gallagher and let him go on a tear.

 

[MXD]

The change that should've taken place is Pezzetta for Hoffman, not Drouin for Pitlick.

 

[Tyson]

I know we are rebuilding but I can only stomach so much of these worthless vets at forward.
Every shift I have to watch guys that simply suck....it is only 3 games in and I may just watch the Rocket play Belleville.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Hoffman, Dadonov, Drouin in
Should lose this one pretty easily

Just wanna see a goal or two from Caufield

It's like the Habs have accumulated all the vets no teams want.

 

[The Real Timo]

Time to unshackle Gallagher and let him go on a tear.

What or who exactly is holding him back

Time to unshackle Gallagher and let him go on a tear.

Another breakaway yesterday. I don’t remember any from before this year off hand lol. I would pull a Danault/Tatar and just converge towards the net anytime Gally is near the puck for a while if I were Slafkovsky, he never passed it when he was scoring 30 either.

Expressed planned expiry by management lets me enjoy the horrible hockey with a sense of optimism.
