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

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

Leroux just said thesame thing. Rookie goalie = Loss.

 

[The Real Timo]

Sounds like another backup. Is there any team that takes Habs seriously anymore? Not that I blame them.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

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

Very funny.

Guaranteed. Which is good because perhaps we can stop talking about the "successful" western road swing. Sigh. The things that define success these days.

 

[The Real Timo]

One thing goes for that Habs tonight is Winnipeg's special teams seem to be doing worse than Habs. Of course none of that going to matter tonight but in general.. it is surprising that that's the case.

Brossoit isn't a rookie. He's played in 59 NHL games in his career.

Also Dan Robertson said Mete back in tonight and playing with Fleury. Reilly out.

 

[lamp9post]

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

I'd rather drop Weal. Cousins has been decent lately with Suzuki. A rare depth option that actually has some finish to his game.

 

[RandR]

Nice GDT Gally11.

Glad to see that Mete is back in.

It's weird that Brossoit is playing tonight. Hellebucyk is coming off of a shutout Saturday, they obviously didn't play last night and then they are off until Friday. So it is not as if he needs the night off.

So you're saying there IS a Santa? that's all I've been wishing for,thanks!.

Very curious to see a Mete/Fleury pairing. Excited about that.

Have you seen anything posted why Brossoit is starting tonight instead of Hellebucyk? They said it on TSN690 but I haven't seen it posted anywhere.

According to a few of the reporters there, Paul Maurice confirmed that Brossoit will start:

If you wanna know what teams think about us

Consider the amount of back ups we have faced.

We aren't very good. Period

Happy Festivus to all habs fans

I was also just thinking this. I wonder how many games the Habs have faced the backup goalie this season in their 36 games played.

Rookieish then. But a back-up, means the same result.

Smart by Jets French backups absolutely destroy us on a regular basis.

currently in the playoff picture so maybe they should?

Not a rookie goalie, but not a good one.

Another team uses their backup. Like I said in another thread, even other NHL teams think the habs suck, so....

Well we don't have any snipers so if you're going to throw your backup into the mix they might as well face the average shooters even if it means facing a lot of shots. I haven't tallied the backups but you can just use an eye test to see there's a lot
