Pre-Game Talk: Game 34: Montreal @ Carolina (Thurs. Dec 28th), 7 p.m. | RDS, TSN2

Primeau starting may be a sign that that’s who Carolina have been asking Hughes about as a potential trade target.

Can we assume the same about Dvorak? He’s playing tomorrow

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

They need to make a move and needed to do so 2 months ago

Why should they have made a move 2 months ago?

 

[BJCOLLINS]

They may be showcasing the pair? Struble has looked good, I’d rather him over Harris.

 

[LesHabitants]

We will.get Koko back for.Dvorak and a 2nd.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Kotkaniemi has 3 pts in his last 21 games

 

[JianYang]

This is a loss.

It seems like the hurricanes rarely lose to montreal.

 

[Jaaanosik]

Time for a change...
I smell a win.

KK hat trick

I can't wait to see that stupid grin

Struble should play over pretty much every single Habs' D at this point. If Struble gets sent down and buried in AHL just like Xhekaj was, I am double giving up on Hughes and his stooges.

I can't wait to see that stupid grin

This grin?

 

[Habssince89]

KK vs Slaf? Sounds like fun

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pesce is having himself an interesting contract year. We’ll take a pick/prospect and Pesce for Kovacevic

Is interesting your way of saying he's been playing like crap? They should have traded him in off-season when they were getting decent offers for him.

They have too many 2024 UFAs / RFAs on that team. I find teams that have more than half the team on essentially one year deals don't have good seasons.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Can we assume the same about Dvorak? He’s playing tomorrow

One would hope but I don’t have a good feeling about that

 

[WeThreeKings]

Why do we always get teams on their back to back?

 

[LesHabitants]

Koko gonna slash Slaf and he'll miss the rest of the season. Let the good times roll.

KK hat trick

The KK hat trick:
1. fall on the ice
2. be ineffective on both ends of the ice 99% of the game
3. score a random goal

 

[Ezpz]

Why do we always get teams on their back to back?

Tryin to keep us away from first overall in years with good prospects.

 

[Goalfield22]

3 point night for Slaf today. Book it.

 

[morhilane]

Why do we always get teams on their back to back?

Crappy scheduling, probably thanks to arenas being rented for other things everywhere.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I think this is a guaranteed loss , hope so

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

They free up some cap space to make moves elsewhere and get rid of a never was

That's just a terrible trade for Carolina.

Why should they have made a move 2 months ago?

So they would have space for dmen to play instead of being a healthy scratch for no real reason..

 

[Adam Michaels]

Carolina is always a tough team for the Habs to face. While Canes are on the second of a back-to-back, the Habs haven't played since Friday. So it could be a case of a team that's a little rusty versus a team that got its legs going last night.

I feel like Habs will lose this one. If they can push it to OT, I will consider that a plus.

 

[vokiel]

Why do we always get teams on their back to back?

The league doesn't want Montreal to waste more top 10 picks?

 

[WeThreeKings]

The league doesn't want Montreal to waste more top 10 picks?

Haven't wasted one yet under the new regime so that can't be it.

 

[Scintillating10]

We only 5 points behind Toronto. Who ever thought that at start of season? A win tonight we only 3 points back.
