GDT: GAME 36: HABS @ FLA | Lemonade | Thursday, Dec. 29th, 2022, 7PM -- TSN2, RDS, TSN690, 98.5 FM

[The Real Timo]

Just looked at the standings... yeah... we are not catching Chicago and Columbus. Their tank is on a whole other level.

 

[Habs13]

Aww I forgot we still had useless Gallagher. Another bum for the collective.

 

[The Real Timo]

Habs will score 3 PP goals tonight.

 

[Talik Sanis]

Ah, much as with the battle between Aliens and Predators, whoever wins, we lose.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Another day, another L.

 

[Simarino]

My reasoning is that I predict the Habs will continue to be bad.. so a win here doesn't really hurt anything long term.. while a loss to Florida, a much better team, is 2 points they can't get and increases our odds of having two lottery picks vs. the 1.

Yeah, that make sense also. They need to finish bottom 11 for us to have a chance at Bedard if im not mistaking.

 

[habsfan891]

Missing this one as I'm playing softball but hoping the Habs pull one out our pick will be garbage we need to do all we can to ensure Florida's is there beside us

 

[sampollock]

get Arima off the top line
better start Dach or Richards or even Anderson. enough with the showcase.
Armia, Gally and JD are going no where

 

[CHfan1]

Chances Gally is back tonight



Barkov, Ekblad & Gurkhas are probably back (guess it evens out things )

In addition to Gallagher playing tonight I expect Dadonov will play as well, with Pezzetta and Richard sitting.

We all know Gudas and Tkachuk are both going to do something stupid tonight.
I hope Xhekaj drops one of them.

 

[LaP]

Lemonade? More like No OT please

 

[OldCraig71]

This group is playing uninspired hockey right now, what happened to the fast entertaining hockey that we saw earlier this season? We all know what the ultimate goal is but the least they can do is not bore us to death on the way there.

 

[The Great Weal]

They need to put Suzuki back on the right side on the power play. No idea why they took him off that position.

I'd also say that playing Barron and his league leading goals for dmen on the PP in the AHL should be on the PP but hey what do I know.

 

[SwiftyHab]

The best we can hope for is a hard fought battle with many season ending injuries on both teams that ends in regulation.

When your roster features a parade of lemons, well …

Then it would make sense for Pezzetta to draw in, no?

Of course not our coaches make the team softer. Are you not surprised?

 

[Beer and Chips]

How many points would the team have gained if they had a middle-of-the-pack PP? Just as well it is bad, plenty of time next season for young guys on the PP.

The PP units waste half of each opportunity attempting to set up. I don't know for the life of me what the benefit of the drop pass is. It does nothing but waste time, it leaves every other player standing still waiting to cross the blue line, it drives me mad just watching it. Also, all of our guys are stationary on the pp, there is virtually no movement, nothing. Xhekaj, our best defender at getting pucks through gets little to no time with the man advantage, same for Guhle and now Barron. I am not the most intelligent poster here by any means but I am willing to bet that I could run that pp better than Burrows.

A subject of regular conversation and befuddlement among my fan group in the real world. Baffling.

If there’s a game to win, it’s this one

Ouch !!

 

[SwiftyHab]

Ouch !!

You’re either in the tank, or under it.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lo and behold, one of the Habs' staunchest supporters posted this in yesterday's GDT ...




We've also seen @dinodebino post ominous comments about the current state of affairs.

Never thought I'd be so supportive of a stunt pulled by a Florida Man. And yet, it happened.

Now, we just need our guy to make it work.

At least for tonight's game, we have our anthem covered.

It's going to get worse before it gets better but if we're patient, it will get better.


LINEUPS TBA

Funny how you have Kent as Superman when he looks exactly like Lex Luthor.

 

[BLONG7]

Is it time for MSL to give Montembeault more starts?
Lets be honest....he has been the better goalie.

Both our guys, can handle a few games, but no one can carry the load..................another long season no matter how we look at it............
If we can get TWO picks inside the Top 10 that would be awesome.

That’ll easily sort itself out in Monty’s favor since we know that Allen is incapable of a heavy workload and needs to be carefully managed to avoid him hitting the IR.

Allen is only a no. 1 by appointment but not in the traditional sense of earning a significant majority of starts.
