Pre-Game Talk: Habitants vs Flames

[Forum93]

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

Tanking is for losers and quitters, when they start losing and quitting then sure go ahead and tank you bunch of losers and quitters. Until then F the tank!

 

[Censored Toad]

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

can I like this post more then once?

 

[Seb]

At what time is the game?

 

[LePoche69]

People are overreacting.

Mete was having a hard time before his little injury. Alzner had 1 ok game, then 1 bad game. It's only fairness to give him one or two more; everybody's allowed to have bad games. And Alzner had put together a good training camp.

Of course if he continue to play bad and stay in the lineup, I will stop defending the coaches, but not for now.

As for Hudon, whom I like very much, he too had 2 bad games before being send in the press box. Turnover machine, lost most battles for the puck... Deslauriers had a great season last year and brings something he's the only one to bring, so again it's only fairness to give him a few games.

And again, if he continue to play bad and stay in the lineup, I will stop defending the coaches, but not for now.

It’s not just the coaches. He’s getting paid a decent amount of money this year and has 4 more years on his contract. Management will be telling the coaching staff to do whatever they can to find him a role on the roster as opposed to in the press box or in the AHL. Of course if he plays like he continues to play like they have, it’ll be to much for even Bergevin to not do something about it.

 

[Habs Icing]

I'm surprised he could count that far.

 

[Rapala]

At what time is the game?

Is it still Mechant Mardi on RDS? then 7:30 - 8

 

[cphabs]

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

Lmfao

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Lmfao

He should have done the Neymar roll!

 

[Milhouse40]

Good, good....no Alzner.

 

[EveryDay]

Good, good....no Alzner.

but but but, they told me yesterday that Mete was INJURED!!!!!

Hudon for DLO would be the next move.... I HOPE!

 

[Laurentide]

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

I went to Games 3 and 4 of that series. When Ryan Walter scored in double OT in game 3 I thought we couldn't lose. Then the Habs laid an egg in Game 4. And Game 5. And Game 6.

You got to be kidding me..... Benn on the first pair next to Petry???? WHY!

 

[EveryDay]

Benn-Petry
Reilly-Juulsen
Mete-Ouellet

Soooooooooooo Stupid!

 

[Simarino]

You got to be kidding me..... Benn on the first pair next to Petry???? WHY!

Maybe to protect Mete, If they want to match Petry's pairing against Tkachuk and Neal who are 2 physical and borderline dirty players

Then why not playing Ouellet with Petry on that pairing instead of switching both Benn and Ouellet from their strong side?

Reilly-Juulsen
Ouellet-Petry
Mete-Benn

This would look better to me.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Sucks that Benn is with Petry. Benn has played well when he's playing like 16-17 minutes a game, when he gets put in the top 4 playing 20 minutes a game he begins to look awful like he did in the playoffs and last year.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

At least it's the right 6 dmen...

 

[Deebs]

Benn-Petry
Reilly-Juulsen
Mete-Ouellet

Soooooooooooo Stupid!

Matchup based

Yet......Mete in...... Alzner out for tonight game

 

[EveryDay]

They did but Benn was playing just fin on the 3rd pairing where he belong.....

Mete/Ouellet-Petry
Reilly-Juulsen
Mete/Ouellet-Benn

Extra: Alzner

 

[teamfirst]

You got to be kidding me..... Benn on the first pair next to Petry???? WHY!

Maybe beceause in CJ's mind that's not is 1st pairing.....looking at those D, in my mind the first pairing is Reilly-Juulsen, in reality, as long as Weber is out.....we dont have a 1st pairing

My favorite Mike Smith moment was when he slashed Dustin Brown during the 2012 playoffs:

Brown got a minor for embellishment

(yeah, Coyotes made the playoffs in 2012, crazy, eh)
