If we shutdown Mackinnon - Rantanen, we win

Rantanen is my favorite player to watch this season. If you don't get to see Colorado games, tomorrow you will learn that Mackinnon-Rantanen are probably the best duo in the nhl right now.

Without question.

Avs are 1-3-1 is last 5 I think, so in a bit of a funk.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Torn, managed to get both Mack and Rantanen in the pool

Will be ok if they get a couple of pts/each and Habs sneak out a W

If we are going to lose tho hopefully they break Sittler's record

I don't think you need to watch an hockey game to realise that the players ranked #1 and #2 in points in the league are the best duo...

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Apparently it's likely Benn & Schlemko

FFS can we just roll with 4 D, that pairing will never leave their zone

 

[Tuggy]

I'd love to be optimistic going into this one but I don't know...

I'll just go in with zero expectations.

 

[BLONG7]

This game scares me..............not sure if the Habs will show up or not.................after laying an egg vs the Bruins, they certainly should, but nothing this team does, makes any sense....

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The team really only needs to shut down one line.

One really good line, but only 1 line.

Keys to the games.

Montreal:
Avoid own powerplay.

Don't rely on your defense to really do anything.

Hope hard work pays off because you don't have the skill.

 

[Shad]

That top line will feast on our D

 

[Censored Toad]

Thanks for the GTD dong,
simple and concise, I like it.

As for the game, it will be intresting to see how the team responds after the BOOINS game.

I want to think they will come out swinging and flying fast. If they score a couple, they will continue to play that way and will likely win the game.

They come out flying, muck up a few PP (its a given that they won't score at this point) and do not get any goals despite outplaying the avs, the momentum will swing, avs pot a goal and its GG.


SO with that said, I think we will see the latter happen, mtl does not do well against western team, and we got Benn in the line up soooo.... I expect that to be exploited. Avs 3 to habs 1

regardless go habs go!

Also shout out to the mods for clarifying the T-Talk. I appreciate the follow up clarification.

 

[HomeAndHome]

Hopefully we see some changes with the approach to the PP, something needs to be done, all it's been doing for us is killing any momentum we may have had.

This will be a tough one going up against the hottest line in the league, shut them down and we've got a chance.

 

[Gravity]

What happened to Kerfoot?

 

[Le Tricolore]

This game's on at the same time as the season finale of Survivor.

I guess I can watch the game on my laptop and pay attention during commercials. Don't have super high hopes for it, but a win would be nifty.

 

[JuicyHam]

It feels like every single line can be and has been switched up except for that Danault line. Why is it untouchable?

Don't forget Landeskog, he's dangerous also.

 

[Milhouse40]

Who's going to shutdown Colorado's big line?
Danault - Weber - Kulak?

That's not going to happen...if the Habs wants to have a chance to win they must put at least 5 in the back of the net.
I expect a wide open game but another lost for the Habs unless the offense open up the game.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

it's a goals fest in Colorado, they going downhill on the GA.

5-4 Montreal

Haha. It's true. Don't go on the powerplay.

When was the last time the Habs won in Denver?

When was the last time the Habs won in Denver?

Wasnt it in like 1997 or something ? they won like 2 times there since the relocation of the Qc

 

[habsfan909]

If Colorado takes a penalty, maybe it's best we don't accept it. Best to stay 5 on 5.

 

[1909]

They gonna loose in Denver. That is why it was so important to put the effort to win the last one in Montreal against the Bruins.
