GDT: Game 55: Montreal Canadiens vs Edmonton Oilers 5/10/21 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

[Canadiens Ghost]

Starting those 3 guys super cold for the playoffs seems incredibly dumb and risky.

Maybe, but what other options are there if they can only play in say, a week from now when the playoffs start? Tell them their season is over?

 

[Tuggy]

Starting those 3 guys super cold for the playoffs seems incredibly dumb and risky.

But if they aren't ready to play tonight or Wednesday then what is the other option? Sit out until next season?

That seems pretty dumb if you ask me.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

I doubt that either one of them are going to upset the apple cart, I expect that come game time, the lineup will be the same as last game unless maybe they sit Caufield.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Dum Dom fold under the Xenophobic pressure and sit Cole or Evans...pitiful but probable...

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

One, just one, ONE freaking point to clinch a playoff spot.

However, Habs being Habs, this might be the only one we'll get...

The morning skate lines:

I admit it, I laughed. Simple but effective.

Nice work.

Watch this be the straw that breaks the camels back

"Not only did Marc Bergevin sling feces around the walls of the Bell Center for nearly a decade, but he also ended the most prestigious streak in sports: the French player one!" - RDS after this unfathomable treachery.

He will play Belzile, book it.

 

[Mrb1p]

Byron - Evans - Lehkonen
Perry - Staal - Caufield

This is big yikes.

 

[Redux91]

lol its like a bad dream not being able to get rid of Byron for good

 

[le_sean]

Still waiting for all of the whiners that said Belzile was just in because he’s from Quebec to chime in here.

Did the game start yet?

 

[le_sean]

Did the game start yet?

You saw the starting lineup. Do you think he’ll realize Belzile is not in once warmup starts?

Wait and see, sometimes lineups change.

 

[TheYardMachine]

Caufield on the 4th line
At this point send him to the AHL it will be better for everyone

 

[Essenege]

Yeah...please let’s not rely on the freaking Canucks, get that damn point guys !

 

[HelloBellyvo]

Caufield on the 4th line

That's okay..Perry'll dish him a beauty pass and Caulfield will strike..You'll see

 

[David Suzuki]

IS there any actual pressure? I haven't looked but I haven't seen anything about it on twitter.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Yeah...please let’s not rely on the freaking Canucks, get that damn point guys !

It's not about working hard. It's about working smart. Why kill yourself when the Flames and Canucks can kill each other off?

IF we lose tonight, guaranteed this will be 90% of the talking points on talk and sports radio in the city. I'm sure it'll also be front page news on the Journel de Montreal.

Lol so we're pre-emptively getting mad? Fair enough you're likely not wrong

 

[Le Tricolore]

I forget what winning feels like.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Tva sports telling us that Paul Bycon 1 of our core players was missing lately been hurting us alot.

I expect Byron to play a great game tonight for his return.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

We are winning this one, we were close the previous game.

 

[angusyoung]

I forget what winning feels like.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Book it: Paul Byron will score. A backhander.

 

[Ozmodiar]

2 forwards from the current lineup will sit.
