GDT: Game 38: Montreal Canadiens vs Nashville Predators 1/3/23 8:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I got my new Bose speaker in, so disappointment will sound crystal clear.

Well, I guess being trash for Bedard is not disappointment.

Un fetard pour Bedard ?

 

[CHfan1]

Do we have actual lines for tonight?

I think they’ll look like the lines below with Richard on the 4th line instead of Armia:

Poor Slaf

Looks like a solid tank lineup.

 

[BLONG7]

Poor Slaf

Poor Slaf.................and that 2nd line is terrible, Drouin at C ?? Sweet mother..........Poor Anderson and Offman....

 

[cphabs]

It doesn't matter


I think Columbus might surge a bit, but Chicago and Anaheim are just on another planet.

I'd be happy with our lottery odds if we somehow manage to have a top 3 and top 8 pick.

Lmfao! Thank you!

 

[Adam Michaels]

7 against Florida
9 against Washington
11 seems to be the next milestone of mediocrity


I hope the management team we now have in place is competent enough to fix this mess longterm.

Looks like the Swiss and the Germans took a page out of Habs' book yesterday.

 

[McGees]

Bring him home Marty…

 

[Kennerback]

Looks like a solid tank lineup.

So many spots to fit Bedard next September.

 

[Rapala]

I'm expecting another loss, Nashville always shuts down our offense.

I just checked our head to head record and in our last 19 games vs Nashville we've been held to 2 goals or less 15 times

How many of those games was no neck coaching?

Poor Slaf

I think he should just shoot the puck AT Gallagher when he goes in the crease; let the human pinball bounce the puck off his butt.

Probably his only way to receive a pass from Gally as well, just shoot hard enough on him

 

[Rapala]

Damn I hope this team has found some energy from somewhere. Losing last year after Ducharme was a lot funner than what we have been getting for the last 15 games. Sure lose but do it in a way that you can take something from it. A good example is the game last season where we went down 0-4 against the Jets stromed back to tie it and then promptly gave back a couple for the L. I enjoyed that.

Impossible to get top 2 at this point. Our best bet will be ARI/SJ playing better. Even Columbus would need to go on a tear. I just don't see us staying bottom 5 when Guhle/Matheson/Monahan all come back. We are probably going to be fighting to stay bottom 10.

 

[Naslundforever]

Richard is learning to play D?

Gallagher apparently hurt himself during practice. Slaf/Dvorak/Dadonov is going to be godawful. Dvorak and Slaf need a speedster on their line.

Imagine somehow Slaf and Dad are a match made in heaven between the rookie being at the right place but at the wrong time and Dadonov’s obsession with sending the puck in the wrong place at the right time it might all line up perfectly.

 

[ArtPeur]

Poor Slaf

More like:

Poor Slaf.................and that 2nd line is terrible, Drouin at C ?? Sweet mother..........Poor Anderson and Offman....

That line still existing makes me sad

 

[The Real Timo]

Bring him home Marty…

I look forward to that reunion in Sep 2023 at Brossard.

Imagine somehow Slaf and Dad are a match made in heaven between the rookie being at the right place but at the wrong time and Dadonov’s obsession with sending the puck in the wrong place at the right time it might all line up perfectly.

That genuinely made me lol.

Yeah, like WTF happened in Columbus? Wasn't Johnny Hockey supposed to deliver them to the promised land? Teams that tanked for yeras should not be allowed to continue to tank. NHL should really create a relegation so that teams very carefully weight their desire to tank with the consequence of playing in the AHL next year.

Gaudreau is not good enough to carry by himself.
Also they had to get that terrible d-man on a terrible contract for him to play in Columbus

 

[cphabs]

Habs have allowed 20 goals in their last 3 games and I don't see any reason for that to change

Come on! Drouin is playing center again and we have “surprisingly”physically destroyed our blue chip rookie D by playing him 20+ minutes a game!

 

[LV426]

?? I'm confused.

We have Bedard

I like the way you think.

 

[Talik Sanis]

Poor Slaf

I mean, he's playing with an elite two-way centreman...

In all seriousness, though, he's got our second best center flanking him, and the only winger better than a completely broken Gallagher is Anderson, and that's not saying much.

 

[ArtPeur]

@OldCraig71 still can't get over my "wow" reactions

 

[Tyson]

Over the past few weeks it has really been revealing that Christian Dvorak is nothing more than a 4th liner. Bergevin gave up a first for a 4th liner.

 

[morhilane]

Poor Slaf.................and that 2nd line is terrible, Drouin at C ?? Sweet mother..........Poor Anderson and Offman....

Not a lots of healthy choice left to play center, even at the AHL level (injuries everywhere).
