GDT: Los Angeles Kings vs. Montreal Canadiens 10/11/18: part 2

[Bergevillain]

first shutout of many~

Drouin hasn't been bad, but someone does need to tell him to just relax and play his game. It's like he thinks he needs to be a star, when what we just need him to be is good.

 

[dinodebino]

Calm your boobs everybody. Expectations were low, so why the hate tonight? They will have challenges against physical teams and they will suffer a many losses. All that needs to happen is have the kids play. I like the way Juulsen is playing. And our teenager is awesooooome!

At this point I'd settle (happily) for " not awful"

 

[Canadienna]

Drouin has made two beautiful passes. He has absolutely not been bad this game.

I whole heartedly disagree with that. Out of all the forwards he is noticeably giving the puck up way too often. Yes you are going to have giveaways if you play with the puck on your stick, but those giveaways have to be counter-balanced with scoring chances, which Drouin is failing at miserably imo.

1v3s every few shifts inevitably leading to a giveaway this is stuff that's supposed to be coached out of your game in junior.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

He got inducted to l'Antichambre earlier than most.

He'll join PJ Stock in trying to look hot in a suit.

If Montreal does not comeback and win boo this bloody team off the ice.....and start a fire bergevin chant.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Kings are a big, physical, and talented team that just doesn't have breakdowns.

 

[Kimota]

What do you mean by thrived? He was never the one driving the play and never had a 30 points season for us.

Not saying he was a star but he did things for us, he had awesome moments. There was a time where he had the most even strenght goals on the team without getting PP time. When uber defensive freak like Jacques Martin came in, it was all over for him. He put him on the fourth line.

But you never got the sense that Lats was nervous playing for the Habs, he embraced it. He and Lapierre especially.

Drouin sounds like he has the puck version of irritable bowel syndrome.

GOTTA LOVE a Dman who can fix his own mistakes...

 

[Krnage]

i just hoping that Habs can score 1 quick goal at the start of the period

I figured we would be 0 and three after tonight so I'm okay right now

 

[cajmonkey]

Maybe Noble had it backwards and if he comes down from the rafters, Kotka will score?

We all see those great flashes, we saw them last year too....he got some great flashes tonight too. But that's all we got so far....flashes.
Again tonight only one shot, not enough. (And it wasn't even on the net but Campbell still made the save so it count).

Not paid like a star, not traded for a star, but definitely expected to be one. He's been on par with the rest of our forwards not named Gallagher or Domi, but I really think he needs a line change. If this were Galchenyuk, we'd be complaining that he's playing with a no-offence third liner and an 18yo rookie.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Get giveaway Petry off the ice

 

[Deebs]

Let get a goal here boys

 

[cajmonkey]

And jeez Matthews looks like Ovy in that PP spot. Only wrister instead of slapper.

 

[Le Tricolore]

There is no need to open a new thread

Old thread was at 1000, so yes there was.

Hurry up and score Kotka. It's getting cold up here.

I want to see him with Domi and Gallagher

 

[Zorba]

f***ing drouin gets worse game by game

 

[dinodebino]

Hurry up and score Kotka. It's getting cold up here.

How is the food?
