Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Blues

[Justin11]

Which makes you then wonder with montreals weakness at rw, why was galchenyuk playing left wing for 2 and a half years if he was accustomed to right wing.

Well, it does take some time for MT to realize things and even then...

Honestly, Chucky on the RW is something that makes sense. He plays better on the right side. Well, he plays best at center, but if he's at wing, I prefer him on the right like he was in Sarnia in his final season.

I saw him live 3 times in his final year and he played LW every time. Except on the PP where he played the point.

Chucky played LW in Sarnia, with Reid Boucher on the RW in his final year.

 

[jaffy27]

yeah sorry I thought it was a home game tonight for some reason.

No worries, but someone brought up time zones so the flight is 3:30hrs, but there's 1 or 2hr difference so it comes to the same thing, either way he's not playing tonight, it'll be against Columbus
Cheers

Where's the GDT?

He has never played RW with the Habs but if you look at most his better plays and goals, same have come from the right side.

The only thing that worries me its him playing his off wing in the defensive zone.

Yeah, on the powerplay with him coming off the half wall. It's a lot different than a sitaution where he's required to exit the zone on his offside. I'm not saying he can't do it, or won't be better than the left side. But to think it's a given is a stretch (not saying you believe this).

That being said, he has so much talent he can adapt to anything. I just personally think he's being stunted by not being allowed to play in the middle where he can exploit the entire middle of the ice.

Playing on the right side it will be easier for him to pick pucks up that are wired around the boards.

Rookie d and experimentation up front should lead to a usual game of Price having to bail the team out.

Where's the GDT?

No one signed up yet so technically anyone could make one.

Too bad DSP is not playing against the Blues. Would have loved to hear if Pang thinks he plays the white way.

We will have as RW Chucky-Gally-Parenteau-DSP-Weise-Thomas

and as LW Patches-Eller??-Prust-Bournival

Doesn't make sense to me

I'm cautiously optimistic about this game.

Since the Blues aren't a crappy team, Habs should come out and play...Unless they play like games vs. Tampa, Pittsburgh, Calgary, New York (before they got their mojo back) it can be disaterous.

I'm hoping for 1-0 win when Price makes 40 saves to increase his SV% lead on Rinne.
