Pre-Game Talk: Habitants vs Flames

[Simarino]

Come on my friend why bother with fact that kill the hf narrative.
Watch it, they will call you mb lover again

Julien already said that if it was a playoff game against Ottawa Mete would have played. If their intentions is really to make the playoff, they dont have the luxury to sit players till they get fully healthy for the sake of it, it should be playoff mode from game 1 till game 82

I'd like to showcase Scherbak for a while with Kotka and Byron. Move Armia down to the fourth line/ PK time.

Drouin - Domi - Lehkonen
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Byron - Kotka - Scherbak
Hudon - Peca/Plek - Armia

Yeah showcase him to Julien.

If Alzner plays tomorrow then there has to be a reason beyond his ability to play well. Mete still injured? Alzner looked as bad on Saturday as he has all of last year. He is no longer able to keep up with the speed of this game. How long before the experiment ends?

I'd rather see Kulak or Olofson over Alzner, until Mete gets back.

 

[The Great Weal]

Why is Shaw still on this team? Play Hudon or Scherbak instead.

Haven't heard an update but it sounds like Olofsson re-injured what appears to be a chronic shoulder injury (though I'm no Dr Recchi) so he could be out a for a little as he injured it in preseason and has had several shoulder injuries to date.

Totally agree that Kulak should not be in the AHL. Olofson I have not seen play but he has some NHL games. Good depth

DLO has better grind and attitude, and is harder to play against

 

[Tyson]

You can’t play a “fast game” Clode with Alzner in the line up!! What again was the attraction to sign him again?

An added bonus to anyone attending tomorrow nights game is seeing Olympic diving gold medalist Mike Smith back on Bell Centre ice again.

 

[sharks9]

Mete back in please, and Alzner back out

 

[JianYang]

There was no rush to dress deslauriers. Let his face fully heal before going down that decision path.

They need to get scherbak in pronto. It's not good for anyone involved that he hasn't played yet.

You must be a similar age as I am. I was very young in the 86 series and I remember my dad all pumped up but I don't remember much other than Roy in his rookie season. I was too young to stay up and watch the games.

The 93 cup was awesome! I remember the feeling of losing to Quebec in the 1st two games and I was sick to my stomach. But it was quite the ride after that! We only lost 4 games all playoffs that year. Something that most Stanley cup champions can't say

Im 40. The 86 cup is my best memory with my grand father. Wedrank champagne "ginger ale"after the win. I was 7. He passed away later that summer.

How did this POS get two cracks at coaching the Habs? Wow

Honest answer? Just like every coach the Habs hire, by being french.

 

[MasterMatt25]

I hate the Flames cause I started to watch Hockey and cheer for the Habs when we lost to them in 89. I remember that series very well!

That's a decade before I was even born

 

[MasterMatt25]

if alzner is playing we will lose. Almost think were tanking on purpose now.

And people complain about soccer, that was well worthy of a Brazilian soccer player.

Did the Habs player get sent off?

NHLers usually get called for embellishment and but embellishment doesn't happen all that often. Soccer is a whole other ball of wax, it's a plague for them.

Sorry to hear about your grand father. I'm sure those memories of watching the young Roy take us to a cup will last forever!

Why is Shaw still on this team?

Character and playoff experience

I am a fan of keeping Alzner.. I mean apart from that softie by price on Saturday... alzner was the tank commander!

Keep my boy pickles playing... I want that high draft pick. I am all down to watch the young kids play fast and hard but in the end i want to be 1) entertained and 2) lose for a higher draft pick. Keeping the kids and Alzner ensures both is likely to happen.

I'd be more of a fan of sending some of the kids down to laval in order to get them playing more minutes and develop with our new coaches. Give them a chance to turn the Mike Maccarons into actual good players instead of what we got from Sly. Keeping alzner/benn is important so that the tank continues to roll on and we can continue to stockpile assets and sell dead wood.

Go tank go..

calling flames 4-2 with one empty netter. we always seems to struggle against west conf. teams who historically had worse records then us.. that is until Marc moved the team into his image.

Entertain but lose please

 

[bobholly39]

lets keep this tank going. 4-1 flames

What tank? Were on pace for 117 points. Thats gotta be president trophy contendership...
