Pre-Game Talk: Habs/Caps Tomorrow

[The Real Timo]

Matheson was just pissed off about the overall lack of effort and focus of his teamates during the PP practice.

Thought that didn't happen under Marty. Marty holds his players to account. Meritocracy and all... No?

 

[Monsieur Miz]

4-2 loss, hat trick for Ovechkin with an empty net goal.

The PP is nothing without The General Andrei Markov.

BTW when is he getting his night? I feel Molson is trying to pull a fast one on us and we will never have an appreciation day.

For whoever watched this live, it was absolutely hilarious

They also had a very lenghty meeting, doors closed after practice. Matheson was pissed, so was Tit-cull22.

You think they were pissed? Now, imagine the fan base watching the games?

With Caufield, Suzuki, Dach, Monahan and Matheson, there was enough talent on the PP for a better production than we saw.

Now, even with Caufield, Suzuki, Monahan and Matheson, with no Dach, there's a net front presence in Monahan, a sniper in Caufield, a playmaker in Suzuki and someone to walk the line with a strong shot in Matheson.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I'd have RHP be the netfront guy on the powerplay like vintage Gallagher.

Then I would have Caufield set up in that Ovechkin/Stamkos zone.

Suzuki opposite Caufield on the right side threading passes

Xhekaj set up for the Weber bomb

Matheson at LD to set up the Caufield or Xhekaj shot, or Monahan if Suzuki shows he can't win a faceoff

 

[sandviper]

Allen baby!!! Wooo!!!

Allen is going to rob Ovi from his PP spot and slam the door on breakaways and odd man rushes. He’ll then proceed to allow a muffin from center ice and/or a goal from behind the goal line anytime the Habs press, killing whatever momentum they had.

That’s ma boy Allen.

That would suck.

 

[morhilane]

I have such a bad feeling for tonight.

Capitals PP% is at 0 after 3 games, they are dead last in the league. They are so scoring on the PP against the Habs.

Capitals can't score actually (4 goals in 3 games), but have better scoring chance % than the Habs overall.

They are so scoring a boatload tonight...

Seems like the happy go lucky gang mentality is getting on some folks’ nerves.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

If we are going to lose at least let ovi get a hat trick or something

 

[Tyson]

Minnesota got embarrassed by Toronto and came to Montreal pissed off.

Washington got embarrassed by Ottawa and I am sure are coming to Montreal pissed off.

Should be interesting

Well you know Allen will let in at least 2 weak ones. That's a given.

Matheson hasn't impressed me on the PP. Too many plays either die on his stick or the next player to touch the puck because of poor/slow play selection including useless shots with no traffic. Just my take.

 

[Rapala]

We are actually decent at 5 on 5 , we smacked toronto around at 5 on 5 in the opener . Special teams is another story .

Unfortunately (or fortunately for me and fellow tankers) the regular season is a glorified powerplay festival , 5 on 5 play is still the most important factor in the stanley cup playoffs but you can't even get in the playoffs without decent regular season special teams in this day and age

Some of the penalties are just plain stupid but we can't ignore the fact that many of them are a direct result of poor 5v5 play. A tiny bit of salt should be ingested when looking at the premise that we are a good 5v5 team.

Just want to know if Pezz has come down from whatever this was.

Same medical connections Shitfly has?

literally my favourite hab for a decade. I miss him and Kovalev.

 

[bonneaug]

I saw Ovy and a couple Caps at Flyjin Thursday night. If the game goes anything like it, I can attest he’s gonna miss a couple nets, but he’ll still end up putting in two at the end of the night.

 

[Team_Spirit]

So we are all in agreement we want Ovy to break out tonight

Ovi ovi ovi

Exactly what the doctor ordered he's gonna have a good game.

 

[zx81]

Very winnable game as Washington has been pretty bad so far.

Probably won't be able to watch this one.
Good game guys !
Hopefully Suzuki will wake up.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Ovechkin to score

Habs-Caps over 6.5 goals

EZ money

 

[1909]

Finally Barron wil play a game.
