GDT: Game 30: Nucks @ Habs | OT Help! | Fri. Mar. 19, 2021, 7 PM ET -- ESPN+, TSN2, RDS, SNP

[Doc McKenna]

I cant see toff keeping up this shooting percentage. Van is due to win. I am smelling a loss tonight, and on OT in one of the games.

I agree Toffoli & Anderson are bound to revert to mean (re: shooting %), however, by that same logic Danault, Tatar, Drouin and Byron should also revert to mean which should help cancel out. Keep in mind Byron has an excellent career 17% shooting (sizable sample set) presently below 9.

After staring at this gif for the last 3 hours I believe this is not going to end

I think they said last game, the habs haven't won 2 in a row in 6 weeks..........scary stuff. The loser point is saving our bacon right now.
How can MB not make a move? Sit Byron, and inject Poehling! Add a Dman before the trade deadline is a big issue.....maybe he is trying, but.............

I think Ducharme needs to stop with the love affair with Byron.

I also would want Poehling in Laval all season...his confidence level has never been this high, let's not screw that up by playing him 7 minutes a game on the 4th line.

 

[Tyson]

Last time we won 2 in a row was Feb. 1st and Feb. 2nd....and it was both against Vancouver

A month and a half without winning 2 straight...thats insane and does not bode well

 

[Adam Michaels]

Romanov was on the left side and Ouellet was on the right side at practice this morning.

 

[Milhouse40]

Jake Allen in tonight

 

[Adam Michaels]

Looks like Allen starts tonight. Which means Price will start tomorrow.

If only there were some kind of superpower that Dominique Ducharme could summon, to help him break free of his failing strategies and inability to string consecutive wins together.

Too bad he couldn't just ingest an NZT pill from the movie Limitless, to give him more clarity. With his luck, he'd only end up with its side effects ...

As a member of an organization within the Bell family, he figured he'd use their resources for a teletherapy session, especially given their yearly mental well-being campaigns.

Unfortunately, Bell changed its vocation to a full-time downsizing outfit, so it was to no avail.

He then decided that he needed something more drastic. He had heard from his assistant coach, Alex Burrows, of a Shamanic ritual involving the death and rebirth of dead animals and how their spirit can be solicited to guide you through difficult decisions.

A ritual was performed using roadkill that happened to sit atop Burrows' head ...

Sadly, even that didn't work.

He then thought of something else. Maybe ... that disheveled mane that Bergevin sports at pressers, might have special powers, like some kind of Medusa. He figured it wouldn't hurt to seek it out.

As he got a closer look of Bergevin's mane, he realized that there were no serpents twirling around like on the Medusa's head. Instead, it was a bunch of outwardly flowing open palms that enabled the power to hand out contracts to fringe players, back ups, redundant assets and waiver wire fodder. Nothing Ducharme could use for himself.

Ducharme finally decided to come to terms with what was really holding him back.

He was supposed to be this forward-looking, new age coach with revolutionary techniques that would save the club. But instead of that, he was stifled, feeling guilty about having gotten the job via the firing of his friend, Claude Julien.

Ducharme was so badly sabotaging himself, that he was emulating the same Julien methods that got the latter fired.

There was only one way to cleanse himself of the burden he was carrying -- and that was to seek out Claude Julien, who he ended up connecting with on a Zoom call ...

Finally! In a matter of seconds, it would all be cleared up.

No sooner had Ducharme asked for help, Julien's screen became blurred and distorted.

He then began to hear odd noises coming from Julien's feed -- a distinct sound of urination.

This was followed by a cacophony of barking dogs, a baby crying, construction tools -- it became unbearable and the session had to be immediately cut off.

Unbeknownst to Ducharme, Julien had managed to escape, using a special plug-in ...

*Tool to help you escape Zoom meetings and other videoconferencing scenarios. It allows you to self-sabotage your audio stream, making your presence unbearable to others.

And so, Ducharme was left to himself to figure out how to get out of his 3 on 3 OT rut.


Lineups TBA


GHG.

Damn near choked on my morning coffee!!! Great stuff Runner!!

 

[Dondini]

Habitant about to go on a tear. The goalie whisperer is on the ice

 

[Le Tricolore]

Looks like Allen starts tonight. Which means Price will start tomorrow.

Man, why can't Lehkonen play? I guess the only reason is that Ducharme wouldn't know who to start in overtime if it's tied after three, but still...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Ducharme confirms Romanov will play on the left. He says they want him to play on the left side, it's his more natural side.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Man, why can't Lehkonen play? I guess the only reason is that Ducharme wouldn't know who to start in overtime if it's tied after three, but still...

Yea. I'm confused about Lehkonen not playing.

 

[dinodebino]

Yea. I'm confused about Lehkonen not playing.

Lekhonen pissed off someone. No other reason. Byron has been non-existent.

Why is this our first line again?

 

[dinodebino]

Looks like Allen starts tonight. Which means Price will start tomorrow.

Why is Lu still putting the Danault line first? If that's the real order, wtf is
tge 3rd best goal scorer doing on the 3rd line?

 

[clarke19]

It's decently obvious Lehkonen is going to be a cap casualty going forward and we're not going to tender him a qualifying offer at over $2.4M. He simply doesn't bring enough.

 

[dkd]

Lekhonen pissed off someone. No other reason. Byron has been non-existent.

Agreed.

 

[Mrb1p]

Finally a normal starting time.

Personally, i'd just like to see Armia and Perry switched

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Finally a normal starting time.
