Pre-Game Talk: Habs Vs. Pens Game 1 Sometimes Summer of 2020 Thread

Canadiens training camp preview (NHL.com)

''Player to watch (Suzuki) + Biggest question + Injury updates (Drouin/Mete/Tatar) + Fresh face (Evans) + Telling stat + They said it + Projected lineup''

 

[Habs Halifax]

Interesting stats to wonder about... Almost like a new season with this play in round but I just wonder how this plays out. All I know is the Pens are not going to take us lightly and they will take it up a notch I am sure.

On the Road
- Habs have the 8th best road record (17-14-3)
- Pens have the 10th best road record (17-15-2)

At home
- Habs have the 30th best home record (14-17-6)
- Pens have the 3rd best home record (23-8-4)

Where does any combo of Weber, Gallagher, and Tatar fall?

So... didn't they say the playoffs are going to start on July 10? Or is it the training camps?
Either way... it;s almost July and not a single team is near ready to be practicing, let alone anything else. What a farce.

July was training camps and no real date set. Aug was the start of the play in round. I believe the NHLPA said they need 2-3 weeks for training camps

Nobody even wants to be in this debacle let alone win it.

 

[PhysicX]

There is a world in which the Habs beat the Penguins, and Pittsburgh lands Lafreniere.

I just hope this one's not it.

Stupid Carey Price

Stupid Carey Price

Can't let us tank in peace. He has to show up

 

[WeThreeKings]

Can't let us tank in peace. He has to show up

So selfish.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Can't let us tank in peace. He has to show up

He's done a pretty good job at helping us tank in recent season though

Update: Letang vs Canadiens (6G + 22A = 28PTS in 35 Games)

From the TSN690 news update just now Price is on his way back to Montreal according to his wife.

Yes. I had to read about the wife and the children and the sacrifice and the tough decision.
Compare that to a walmart or some other low paying job employee who have no choice but to go to work, interact with hundreds of potentially infected people daily and then stress about bringing that home to their family. But I am sure Carey Price has it tough...

(btw, though it sounds like it, not lashing out at you at all... just hate these "athletes life's so tough" stories)

 

[CreamOfTheCrop]

TSN reports that 15 players tested positive from the 250 tested. That's a pretty high rate...
Are they still seriously considering the playoffs?

Yeah, it's gonna be something else in 2 weeks.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I have faith in Carey Price.

 

[Omar]

Well according to Pierre McGuire, he thinks it’s 40/60 that price will play

 

[Kimota]

Dammit. grrrrrr

 

[Supersonic]

Carey, you’ve been crying for years about a bad team in front of you. There’s also a generational forward talent waiting for you after 3 losses to a team way better than yours.

You know what to do

 

[sheed36]

Well according to Pierre McGuire, he thinks it’s 40/60 that price will play

Really? Is that something recent from Pierre? He's taking a break and hasn't been doing his regular daily TSN690 segment of late.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Well according to Pierre McGuire, he thinks it’s 40/60 that price will play

Great news.

 

[The Real Timo]

Great news.

If the playoffs is a go, isn't Price obligated to play?

 

[Kimota]

Carey, you’ve been crying for years about a bad team in front of you. There’s also a generational forward talent waiting for you after 3 losses to a team way better than yours.

You know what to do

That's always been our problem. As long as Price is there, we can never be bad enough.

 

[LaP]

Carey is a great tank commander. He'll do what he has to do.

Ya it’s from yesterday. I put the link in the Carey chat

 

[Deebs]

Well according to Pierre McGuire, he thinks it’s 40/60 that price will play

If he wasn't going to play why did he fly to Montreal today?

 

[Omar]

If he wasn't going to play why did he fly to Montreal today?

I had the same question, but the players haven’t even voted yet so who knows
