GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Columbus Blue Jackets- 1/25/16 7:00pm EST SNE, RDS, TSN 69

How do you all feel about tonight's outcome? Usually, back to back games with the same team end up in a split. Who wins this one?

I also see a split as the most likely outcome. But if we can get away with 3 points out of 4 that would be great!

Habs lose tonight, win tomorrow @ home

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Here's hoping for a good ol' 0 points out of 4. I don't see it happening against CBJ tho, but who knows.

[Takeru]

If we have to win one better do so in OT so they at least get a point out of it.

 

[headliner]

I have a jersey thats signed by Price..............and Therrien

I presume Therrien's autograph is leaning on Price's.....

 

[mechantmardi]

tanking??

we just need to make the playoffs and get a rested price back in the lineup... we can be a scary wildcard seed.

and by the way does anyone even look at the atlantic division standings??
only 4 points separating 2nd and 6th.
only 9 points separating 1st and 6th.

only 48/82 games played... home ice advantage is not out of reach.

go habs go!

 

[Runner77]

How does that even happen. Who would actually want a Therrien autograph?

I take it you were able to parlay the Foxholer's signature into a significant price discount?

 

[Habsawce]

Subban has the flu. Oh boy, here we go!

 

[mechantmardi]

Subban has the flu. Oh boy, here we go!

i guess it will be greg pateryn tonight

 

[Habsawce]

i guess it will be greg pateryn tonight

Nah, he'll play. Therrien will play him 31 minutes and when he makes a mistake late, he'll get thrown under the bus by coaches and fans.

We won't be a scary wildcard team more than we were a top division team with the same terrible offense we've had the last 2 playoffs. There's too much work to solve it all during the season for Bergevin's trade capacity, better pick a good player at draft and some quality UFA for once and come back stronger next year. This team as is will get the same early exit we've been used to.

Subban has the flu. Oh boy, here we go!

Taking one for the team. Nice work PK!

 

[JLP]

Yeah Subban not at the morning skate.

Dunno why Pateryn isn't playing more anyway over Barberio, he's sat out like 35 games -- is MT determined to reduce another big young defenceman's value to near-zero?

Nothing scary about this team really... We'd need Price (if he comes back at all) to stand on his head like usual and even then our offense is so bad it wouldn't be enough to win 16 games. The goal is to win the Cup and a team with Weise and DD as top 6 players is not a contender, sorry. Trades won't happen either because they apparently don't exist anymore so what options are left to improve? You sell the deadwood for picks and you tank, this year's draft is very deep apparently. You hopefully look so bad in the process that your incompetent coach is fired in the offseason too. Another way to instantly improve.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Subban being out would be so good for the tank.

Cup winners win with offenses that average about 3 goals, give or take. Our team will not do that.

 

[BigHabs]

So.....

Pacioretty Plekanec Gallagher
Galchenyuk Desharnais Weise
Fleischmann Eller Carr
Flynn Mitchell Smith-Pelly

Markov Petry
Emelin Barberio
Beaulieu Pateryn

Barberio will end up with more ice time than Beaulieu I see it now...

 

[ChikN]

I own a Sergei Kostitsyn jersey. I'm not ashamed though. I liked him even with his awful attitude.

Same here!

I own a chucky one now, the first and probably last LEGIT jersey I buy.

No more 300$ jerseys for you Mr.Molson, Chinese bootlegs will do the job from now on.

 

[mechantmardi]

wow this board is negative lately... when's the last time a draft pick helped our NHL team in their first year?

with our core in their prime can we really wait for young talent to develop in the minors?

is tanking really the solution?

when we see the results (if any) carey, max, and PK could be in their 30s...

 

[Tabarouette]

is tanking really the solution?

the answer is no, but we're not allowed to talk about it openly

we suck amirite, let's tank! DD is terrible, MT sucks

 

[417]

Oover Barberio? Jeez

I know he's not as popular around here, but since Barberio has joined the team, he's been the 3rd best, sometimes 2nd best Dman on the ice after Subban and Petry.

He's absolutely earned his icetime, there's no reason he should be sat for Pateryn

 

[capebretoncanadien]

Yes. He's awful.

He's not awful.

He's not great but he's better than freaking Tokarski.

We have hung him out to dry pretty bad in his starts to be fair.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

The Leafs game was the turning point, from now on Habs will be triumphant! Go Go!

 

[Seb]

Subban is a true team player

 

[Halakitlikethat]

GHG! no tank! no losing culture!

 

[Skrudland]

Nah, his other one is a bit older and is #25 Dandenault

As the proud owner of a Dandenault jersey I feel the need to speak up.

 

[Habsawce]

No jokes, I nearly bought a Jimmy Dowd jersey just for kicks.
