GDT: Game 37: Montreal Canadiens vs Winnipeg Jets 12/23/19 8:00pm EST TSN2, TSN3, RDS

[Gally11]

Unfortunately no KK tonight (this was started before his injury). I'm assuming there will be some line changes and I've put Mete in based on Julien's comments. I'll update the lines later as more details come out!​

Bench Weal and give Vejdemo a game.

If they must play Weal, then move Poehling up into his spot on the 3rd and PP.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Haven't seen Poehling do much to warrant staying up but he is better than Weal.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yeah,let Vejdemo play. It doesn't really matter who you scratch up front.

Montreal can't develop Swedes.

 

[Tyson]

Poehling looks much better than during his initial call up. The points aren't there because he is skating with 4th liners but he is skating well and generating chances. Its time to give him a look with better players.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Nice GDT @Gally11 .

Hopefully, Poehling will be with Suzuki and Cousins as was the case when CJ decided to demote Weal after two dumb offensive zone face-offs.

A return to Winnipeg for Chiarot. Hopefully his will be as successful as Petry's return to Edmonton on Saturday.

 

[Sam of Montreal]

Weal and Cousins should sit one out to send a little message about taking stupid, useless penalties.

Or at least sit one and send the 2nd (Cousins) to 4th line. Vejdemo in, Poehling up.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Suzuki's wingers though

David Desharnais is playing for team Canada at the Spengler cup,hopefully the little fella can bring home the gold....Craig Mactavish is the head coach.

Is DD the first line center or are the Canadiens still the only roster where he could play that high in the line up ?

 

[PaulD]

Damn. I see (the Stanley Cup contending) Leafs finally passed the Habs in the standings

Looking at the Canada roster i think he's first line center by default you have players like Josh Jooris and former hab Ben Maxwell.

Yes, I guess if he could beat out every Hab center for years .......he would do the same on team Canada Spengler Cup

Fair to say that the Jets will be the best team Habs have faced so far on this West coast trip? Although Habs lost against the Oilers,those 3 teams did not look that good at all. Could have won against the oil,but shit happens.

 

[JianYang]

Its hard to say. I guess the jets have more optimism on their side, becaise the roof was supposed to be caving if you go by their summer, and what people were saying about them.

Hockey has alot of parity. The canucks have beat pittsburgh and vegas since losing to the habs.... You just never know these days.

Did Vejdemo get called up or something? Why are we talking about him lol

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

Did Vejdemo get called up or something? Why are we talking about him lol

Yes

 

[Treb]

Did Vejdemo get called up or something? Why are we talking about him lol

He was called up on December 14 and has yet to play a game.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Did Vejdemo get called up or something? Why are we talking about him lol

He did get called up, only to pay for the teams meals!!!!

It definitely should happen. Drop cousins to the 4th line and give Poehling a shot, why not?

 

[angusyoung]

Merely an insurance replacement in the case of injury. Can't go on the road with 0 extra forward.

Yeah but why not get him in one game? Can't be worse than Barber

 

[sheed36]

Apparently Brossoit starting for the Jets tonight instead of Hellebuyck according to TSN690.

 

[The Real Timo]

Don't care about the game since it's the same lineup and same Clod favorites that will be getting the ice time. Not watching and don't care. Down with Bergevin and Julien!

 

[angusyoung]

Guess the Habs prefer a player that has the ability to finish and blanket than a player that only blankets.
