GDT: Habs vs. Cats in Bathurst (7PM ET on TVA Sports & Sportsnet)

[dinodebino]

This is a very boring preseason game.

 

[Jee]

I'm off. R6:S is better than watching this crap on TVA.

 

[dinodebino]

This is a very boring crowd too.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Not liking that Chariot signing so far! Rather have Kulak play with Petry! Chariot is another Alzner but skates better. That 3rd year in term is going to hurt!

Might be like this if Brook makes it and Juulsen has serious issues...

Mete / Weber
Kulak / Petry
Chariot / Brook
Reilly, Folin

 

[26Mats]

Evans is our best player this game which is either good news or bad news depending on how you look at it lol

IT's really good news if he can play top 9 wing. Or if he can bring some offense to our 4th line:

Tatar Danault Gallagher
Drouin Domi Suzuki
Poehling Kotkaniemi Armia
Lehkonen Evans Byron

classic

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Lol, it’s cute that some were optimistic about Chiarot.

 

[OldCraig71]

23 shots total from both teams

talk about trying to earn a spot on a roster

yawn

Sadly though, there are plenty of NHL regular-season games just like this one, dump, chase and power plays. Tbh I don't see much difference between this game and dozens of others I watched last season. The NHL is not like the NBA or NFL, there are a lot of boring games.

 

[DangerDave]

This is a very boring crowd too.

Really hasn't been too much to cheer for. What are the shot like 10-10?

 

[Habs Halifax]

This is a very boring crowd too.

A lot of these people are from Miramichi which is 45 minutes away and rarely even see QMJHL games. 4000 max capacity and most of the Titans fans are not there

 

[OldCraig71]

classic

LOL. I caught that one, hopefully it stays around all season. God I hate that turd.

Nobody is talking about Belzile? I know he's a "feel-good" story but is he not doing pretty well for a nobody?

Belzile has always been an intelligent player, nice to see him finally being able to show it!

 

[OnTheRun]

Please tell me what Renaud said. I'm not watching the TVA Sports feed.

It basically went: "blablabla Jonathan was only getting ~5% oxygen through his right nostril blablabla and it's a night and day difference since the operation he got this summer."

Most of the Panthers team already has a roster spot secured tbf.

 

[The Great Weal]

I'm not a fan of Mete or Kulak, but they both deserve to be in the top 4 ahead of Chiarot.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

KK has no confidence in his toolset. Julien needs to go if this team is serious about the future.

Honestly, in an ideal world, we start the season absolutely terribly leading to CJ’s firing, Ducharme taking over and then Bergevin is canned in the summer.

But I know better. We can’t have nice things and we're a middle of the pack team.

I think Kotkaniemi will be fine, though. It’s just frustrating that we have a better coach for today's NHL right behind the bench but have a dinosaur in Julien who’ll probably play the likes of Armia, Weal and Thompson 16+ minutes a night again while Kotkaniemi hovers around 12-14 again.

 

[abo9]

Hes 30, hes a Ahl plug

Like are Hudon Weal Peca Cousins etc etc. I bet he's going all out for a chance of playing one NHL game before he retires but he looks better in this "one" game (I know, one pre-season game) than those other guys who are supposed to be "fighting" for a 12th spot. Idk it's not a very exciting game, but he's there going for it.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I've been impressed.

Me too, one of the best players on the ice and it stands out

 

[OldCraig71]

This is a very boring preseason game.

Stay tuned for the regular season, there is much more on the way.

 

[JianYang]

Barkov is in cruise control, but still the best player in the ice.

He's just a brilliant talent.

 

[Treb]

Nobody is talking about Belzile? I know he's a "feel-good" story but is he not doing pretty well for a nobody?

I remember being upset when the Bulldog let him go (like several other posters) as he was decent even then. Turns out I was right

 

[Adam Michaels]

It basically went: "blablabla Jonathan was only getting ~5% oxygen through his right nostril blablabla and it's a night and day difference since the operation he got this summer."

Oh ya! I remember he had surgery for that in the off-season. I bet he can smell the pile of crap that comes out of Renaud's mouth better, too.

A TLTQ sighting in a GDT, I am impressed. Good evening.

Hes 30, hes a Ahl plug

He's 28

Nothing new since July 4th. That Chiarot-Weber pairing Clode was talking about earlier this month is a disaster waiting to happen.
