Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Jets Tomorrow: The Ducharme Interim Era Begins

[swimmer77]

he'll go 48-2-1.

The tie I can tolerate. The two losses I cannot. LOL

 

[Vachon23]

I assume the lines won’t really change the first game and everyone will freak out.

To start the game, probably not but Ducharme is an active coach behind the bench so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is line change during the game if they don’t have a good start

 

[HockeyJunkie87]

The habs go down 4-2 in the 3rd period, Ducharme pulls the goalie with 8 minutes left, the Habs score 3 consecutive goals, Ducharme begins flexing on the bench hulk hogan style, much to the dismay of Paul Maurice who begins shouting curse words towards Ducharme, and than Ducharme rips down the panels seperating the two benches and picks up Maurice and power bombs him through the bench. Adam Lowry is very upset, and gets up and breaks a stick off over the back of Ducharme, who than rolls his eyes up in the back of his head and picks up Lowry by his throat and choke slams him. The refs call off the remainder of the game, the habs win 5-4 in the most epic way. Ducharme goes down in history.

[habsfan891]

Will try this again

I'm not watching another Habs game until Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson come over to watch it with me

Id like to know if this works too

 

[OldCraig71]

Id like to know if this works too

If it works out, I would like to watch a game with Gemma Arterton.

 

[odishabs]

I'd assume you see much more usage of young talented players in key roles at key times of the games. I'd bet that Kotkaniemi and Suzy plays more than Danault.

 

[Sam of Montreal]

I would like to see:

Drouin - Suz - Gallagher
Toffoli - KK - Armia
Tatar - Danault - Anderson
Lehkonen - Evans - Byron/Perry

Romanov - Weber
Edmundson - Petry
Chiarot - Kulak/Mete

Most notable change is to put trust in Romanov to play with Weber. Weber doesn't face all the tough matchups anymore and would be a great mentor for Romanov. Romanov would bring elements that Chiarot cannot bring.

 

[The Real Timo]

So any word on what the lines at practice yesterday were? Or these pylons didn't even practice?

 

[Just Linda]

I'd love to see

Toffoli - Danault - Anderson
Drouin - Suzuki - Gallagher
Tatar - Kotkaneimi - Armia
Lehkonen - Evans - Byron

Edmundson - Petry (time to take papa Weber off the first pair)
Romanov - Weber
Chiarot - Mete/ Kulak

We need some of that good old JR commentary.

“Ba-gawd someone stop the match!!”

“Damn you Maurice! You Sunavabitch! Damn you to hell!”

 

[Adam Michaels]

There was no practice yesterday. It was a travel day.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'd love to see

Toffoli - Danault - Anderson
Drouin - Suzuki - Gallagher
Tatar - Kotkaneimi - Armia
Lehkonen - Evans - Byron

Edmundson - Petry (time to take papa Weber off the first pair)
Romanov - Weber
Chiarot - Mete/ Kulak

Why is Danault getting the two top scorers on the team?

 

[Natey]

Why is Danault getting the two top scorers on the team?

He played pretty damn well last game. KK is basically a grinder at this point - maybe this coaching change will help.

Danault hate has been a bit much.

 

[Natey]

I want to see lines. Lehkonen being scratched will instantly sour me.

 

[Adam Michaels]

1: no need to split Suzuki, Drouin, and Anderson. They've been the most consistent line all season.

2: it's not a question of Danault or KK. It's a question of Danault being the one getting BOTH Toffoli and Anderson.

3: Danault might have played well last game. KK played better the game before.

4: If KK is a grinder for you, what is Danault?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Yea. Lehkonen needs to get back in. I don't know why he was scratched to be honest. He's been one of the few who has been given a consistent effort every game.

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson

Tatar-Danault-Armia
Lehkonen-Evans-Perry

Romanov-Weber
Edmonson-Petry
Chiarot-Mete/Kulak

 

[Sagikev]

Curious to see PLD on 1LW

That top 6 is absoluty insane. Huge test!

 

[Aces on the road]

Why is Danault getting the two top scorers on the team?

Because he is best center

 

[WeThreeKings]

Because he is best center

 

[Adam Michaels]

Because he is best center

He is not. He's good. But not the best. He has not done enough to warrant him playing with both top scorers.

 

[Habit11]

Because he is best center

If your best center has 1 goal in his last 40 games, might want to fold the franchise

 

[Aces on the road]

He is not. He's good. But not the best. He has not done enough to warrant him playing with both top scorers.

Kk has been quite bad, very similar what he performed in Finland this season.
Suzy looks tired to me. Anderson and Drouin does not fit him well. He is doing all the dirty work.

That is true, Habs need rebuild, unfortunately.
