GDT: Game 64: Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators 2/22/20 7:00pm EST SNE, TVA, TSN 690

[Shabs]

Cousins/Thompson/Weal and Alzner/Folin on the ice together will be amazing.

That our PP1!

 

[Ozmodiar]

KK would have a big role in Ottawa as well.

I understand you don't like Timmins, but this was illogical at a profound level.

That's debatable. If Ottawa picked him, he might still be in Finland. They're in no hurry to win.

OTOH, Tkachuk would be playing a role in Montreal as well. He was more NHL ready and they really need that type of player.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Price starting again?!

... because they're still in it?? lol

how many games is this in a row?

look no further than Price's starts to get insight into MB's plan for the TDL.

 

[The Great Weal]

Why are Weber and Drouin playing when they are clearly not 100%?

Molson probably told him playoffs or you're out bruh

Daily reminder that the 4th overall pick is playing in tonights game, in a key role for a young team. Meanwhile the 3rd overall pick, AKA the Timmins Special, will be playing at noon in the AHL.

Bergy Rulez.

Okay

[Canadienna]

Haha,

When the player you call up doesn't even think he deserves it.

Where did you get the impression he doesn't think he deserves it?

 

[NobleSix]

So Carey Price is wearing a white mask at practice today. Is he trying to get used to a white mask for when he is traded and will wear the white mask until his new custom mask is ready for his new team?

Never forget:

Likely has to do with when his mask broke last game. He probably doesnt want to risk his only spare getting broken in practice as well.

But wouldn't that be nice if he asked for a trade. I love Price, but unfortunately he likely will never lift the cup as a Hab. It would be a shame if he retires without ever having won a cup.

I think he's trying out a new mask innovation from CCM.

"Playoffs".

Ahh, yes. Good find.

 

[JianYang]

Because he's a professional athlete that want to compete. There is still hope to make the playoffs.

That's his job.

Also we don't have any decent backup

It's not easy to shut guys down, especially your big money guys. You need to manage their morale, ego, and personality too.

Sure, you can shut down price, but don't be surprised if that leads to him publicly demanding a trade, and further deleveraging your position in a potential trade.

Everyone seems excited for Alzner.

But CJ says that he's having a reasonable season in Laval. But he did praise his attitude.

We can hope but very unlikely thats the case

 

[the]

Kovalchuk scores tonight, book it.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Behold...

The long awaited return of the great Karl Ahlzner!!!

I rather see Alzner net a hat trick lol, maybe then we can trade him for something (anything).

 

[Adam Michaels]

So who will be playing their last game as a Hab tonight before the TDL?

 

[Milhouse40]

Kovalchuk
Thompson
Weal

Sure, but they also have much less egos to please and can play the young guys in big spots.

You are just stating the 2nd consequence of the same cause...

 

[SOLR]

Here's Price with his white mask:

It looks like the playful goodbye of two friends.

 

[ashtraygirl]

So if we're still 'fighting for a playoff spot', why scratch Lekhonen for these last two games? Is he really being shopped?

He was not providing enough offence to Julien's taste and Julien likes to keep a winning line-up. I would be surprised if he gets traded.
