Chiarot still with Weber I see.

Yay.

 

[NeptunesTrident]

God I hope this doesn't go into OT. Allen should start?

Price will want to get back in after how last game ended. He's only allowed 1 goal in each of his last 3 and just dominates the Canucks in general, I would put him back in and play Allen the next day. We need a motivated Price at the top of his game, and I think building off his recent play is the way to go.

 

[Habs]

Wonder why the late start ? Leafs playing ?

 

[montreal]

damn i'll likely be hammered by the time the game starts, was going to start early too as I was going to watch the phillies game at 1 pm.

Chairot - Weber

...

WTF is wrong with this Ducharme guy??...he's not blind (that we know of), he's made it to NHL Head Coach, so he has to be at least aware of hockey in general...is he threatened by Braindead Ben??...does he want to tank??...Ray F****in' Charles could see that Chairot is costing them games and he's blind and dead...simply because there are no great options doesn't mean that the ones available aren't at least better ones...Jebus, I never thought I'd ever say this but damn I miss Jacques Martin...

 

[Canadienna]

I like the move up front. Anderson might get Suzuki going and Gally can get a shot with KK to see how it works.

Not fixing the defense just tells me they don't see Romanov as ready to play more minutes or they don't want Mete/Kulak playing the right side. They're not going to break up Edmundson-Petry.

Need to make a trade for Ekholm yesterday.

He doesn't want to put Romanov there so your choice are Kulak and Mete.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Who are both better options than Chairot at this point...at least to try and see if it can work...not trying anything is the worst move Ducharme can make...

 

[Runner77]

In before @The Real Timo announces that he doesn't have a good feeling about this one.

 

[Redux91]

I've never seen a professional sports team start a game at 11 o'clock eastern in my ENTIRE life, wow, someone f***ed up there

Bettman gonna Bettman...

 

[OldCraig71]

I can't ever remember a NHL hockey game starting at midnight Atlantic time. I will be skipping this one, the habs are barely worth watching at regular start times.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Won't be around for this one. Work at 8am. Ridiculous that it's so late.

Like the new lines.

GHG!

Same Weber and Chiarot BS. I don’t have a good feeling about this one.

If I wasn't already retired, I'd probably be missing it myself...


...ah, who am I kidding, even when I worked at 5 am I'd stay up and watch the late games...cuz that's the type of moron I is...

Get a good night sleep Craig. You’ll likely have lots to read threw in the morning.

 

[Gravity]

Danault and Tatar were made for each other on the 3rd line.

Jebus, I'm glad I don't do Twitter or Instagram...

I don't understand the motive for late starts like this, there are no fans in the stands and one would think that the goal would be to gain as much national audience as possible. I lived in the Pacific time zone a very long time ago(the Yukon) and it was the coolest thing to get to watch games at 4-5 pm in the afternoon, especially on the weekends. We would start drinking at noon and be well into her by game time, fun times.
