Pre-Game Talk: Habs Heading Out West vs Ducks, Sharks, Kings & Blue Jackets

[red devil]

Thw 1st game isn't until Wednesday but are leaving today. We will get to see how the Habs stack up against a couple of the cellar dwellers in the Sharks and Blue Jackets. The games against the Sharks and Kings are during the afternoon so the fans in the east won't need to worry about burning the midnight oil.

Some news on the injury front, I would think the would call up a couple of players from Laval.

So day to day will end up month to month for Jackeye.

Struble is called up from Laval and will join the team on the trip

 

[BLONG7]

Damn...............brutal news on The Sherriff.....

Hockey gods are still mad at us, for beating the Leafs in da playoff!!

 

[BenchBrawl]

Always loved those late night games.

 

[Scintillating10]

This is usually a disastrous trip

Definitely looking forward to seeing Struble.

I like his energy and work ethic. Hopefully he has enough skill and processing speed to be an NHLer - and hopefully he's found a way to keep his muscular body healthy.

You can't underestimate the 4 full NCAA seasons that he played. His Development has been done properly. If MSL wants a team that doesn't play soft then players like Struble need to make the jump.

It will be.

@OldCraig71 can sleep peacefully.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Fuel up the tank boys!!

 

[dinodebino]

Hahaha, love those after a shitty performance. They need to barf in front of their dads.

 

[Rob Sense]

The west coast December trip...where dreams go to die every year and where we firmly entrench in the bottom tier of teams. But we even suck at tanking...another brilliant karakter pick on the horizon.

Looking at the schedule the Kings play the Ducks and the Habs back to back, so the Habs will definitely get Copley as the goalie who is almost unplayable at the moment.

 

[Riggins]

Three of the teams on this trip are junk, I think we go 2-2 here. The Christmas trip is when things really go sideways.

He'll look decent against the Habs

 

[NORiculous]

Habs can easily go 6pts out of the 8 against these teams.

So I’d expect at least 4-5 pts at minimum.

 

[morhilane]

I hope Struble will get to play.

So first the team will tried to eat some Ducks and then move to some Sharks, but I suspect the Sharks will be the one to feast, that's usually how it goes with this team. Also, the Kings will probably feats too....and nobody care about the Blue Jackets.

Yes, finally some reminder that coasting comes with consequences for the boys.

 

[the valiant effort]

I prefer the good old days when the coaches would castigate you for not hitting the brakes at the goal line. No gliding allowed.

 

[McGees]

I missed it maybe but why is there 0 games on Tue/Thu and a bajillion on Wed/Fri?

 

[salbutera]

Bag skates are no longer allowed per CBA, NHLPA will file grievance vs a team, this was a kindler gentler skate…

Don't know about Tuesday but Thursday is American Thanksgiving and the NFL has games all throughout the day.

 

[The Real Timo]

So day to day will end up month to month for Jackeye.

I have no doubt. Transparency.

 

[habamillions]

I see a 2-2 trip. Should beat sanjose and columbus but i say they lose to columbus and and san jose. But beat anaheim and La. Just because it makes no sense.
