GDT: Habs vs. Wild // November 8th, 7PM ET // TVA Sport, City

Why was Sekac scratched exactly ?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Not because he's having a good game so far, but what was the motive behind scratching Sekac for that much time again?

 

[Natey]

That 3rd line has been really solid tonight from what I've seen (missed the 1st period). Sekac has been outstanding. I'm so glad that we got him - he'll be a long term fixture for us. Eller pretty decent. Prust alright. They seem to be getting a ton of ice time - they've just been living in the O-zone tonight.

Even with Bourque, I felt like they lived in the o-zone. Theyd' just get scored on every time it wasn't in the zone, unfortunately.

 

[MsChanandlerBong]

Everyone knows Eller is an extremely strong board player, it's when he gets to the open ice where he crumbles. Sekac is essentially as good along the boards, and having him hold the puck a bit prevents Eller from turning it over.

 

[BigHabs]

Don't see how Bourque gets back in this lineup while healthy.

Sekac making an impact in each of his games IMO. Has brought more to the table than Bourque.

 

[Dharvey33]

Sekac is clearly made for this style that Montreal tries to employ.

Please stop scratching him.

He is already one of the best board player on this team wait a couple of games and he will be the best by a wide margin.

 

[mus1cx]

Hope they try out Sekac in the slot during the PP. Kid is determined, has a big frame and has nice hands in tight spaces. I'm sure he'd do a better job at screening than anyone we currently have

Yea absolutely LOVE his effort level.

 

[Natey]

lol... is the NHL seriously reviewing that MacKinnon hit? What a joke. If he gets punished, they need to just take hitting out of hockey.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Now if the guys could stop banging the glass behind the net every ****ing time, I'll be happy.

 

[Adam91]

Well, for what it's worth... Prust set him up beautifully on that shift.

Disregarding that shift, Prust has been awful tonight.

 

[Lions999]

Well, Sekac's playing far too good. Time to bench him again.

MT is going to put him with DD line if 3rd line starts producing.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Man, Gretzky looks a lot older now. More and more like his dad. I remember when he was just a kid...

 

[Natey]

Now if the guys could stop banging the glass behind the net every ****ing time, I'll be happy.

Ugh. I wish I could mute that ****.

 

[Mynameismark*]

Sekac has been great all game. Had a couple chances to put the puck in the net himself so far. Has been the best player on the ice so far. How exactly was he scratched for so long. What a joke.

Well aside from price. Price kept us in there first period.

 

[Natey]

Disregarding that shift, Prust has been awful tonight.

Prust has been awful all year.

But he had at least 2 solid shifts that period.

 

[Skip Bayless]

This is gonna happen.

Funny

 

[sheed36]

Sekac only 7:44 TOI so far tonight. He's having a very good game so hopefully MT gives him a little more ice time.

 

[Natey]

Easy.. as good as Prust looked there... he's still worse than Bourque.

However, both of them should be benched for Ghetto.

 

[JLP]

Price forgives

 

[Adam91]

Moen is still the odd man out for me.

I'd actually rather have Bourque in the 4th line instead of Moen.

Bourque-Malhotra-Weise

More icetime and PP time.....

 

[mus1cx]

Lol... Typical Therrien. Oh Eller's line looks good? Must break apart.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Bourque-Malhotra-Weise

It's close, but I might tend to agree with you. Maybe Weise up on line 3 (please, no higher, lol) and drop Prust, as someone else mentioned.
