Pre-Game Talk: Montreal @ Colorado Saturday, January 22: 7pm

[MarkovsKnee]

If we give up 50 shots against Colorado we're losing 10-0 because they have a crazy good offense compared to what Dallas and Vegas were able to offer.

All those open chances will start going in.

Hoping it doesn't get too ugly for Montembeault's sake.

Good luck, kid!

One of those games where it's safe to circle L.

Yay we get to watch MacKinnon and Makar up close and work their magic

I just hope it’s not a blowout lost lol .

 

[OldCraig71]

It is what it is.

So 1 week ago - I look at our playoff odds. Based on what Boston was pacing for in 8th and last playoff spot - I said to be certain to make the playoffs, we'd have to go in our remaining 46 games:

44-1-1. This would allow to top Boston by 1 point at season's end.

Considering this past week we've gone: 1-1-1

That means moving forward, in our 43 remaining games, we have to go:

43 - 0 - 0

To make the playoffs. No more margins of error - perfection only.

Anyone still believe?

Comparison with the season of Habs this year and the season of Detroit in 2019-2020 (17-49-5) after 39 games, Habs got 8-25-6, 22 points and Detroit got 9-27-3, 21 points.

No.... We're getting a top 10 pick this summer

[amethyst]

So Primeau is starting.. god speed

 

[1909]

McNiven as his backup.

Where are Kinkaid, Fucale or Lindgren when we need them ?

Pfft. We have 24 Stanley Cups. Those Detroit chumps only have about 11. If anyone can stage a comeback - it's Les Canadiens!

 

[vokiel]

Drouin healthy scratch!

Wait... damn...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Uh

Good thing we got Dobes and Dichow. Primeau gonna be murdered

 

[Tyson]

I watch alot of Colorado games. I just want a good showing.

I am not sure giving Primeau the start in Denver is a smart move.

 

[Kimota]

I have to say I agree with Maxim Lapierre about wanting to see Poehling on a more offensive line. Give him skilled wingers to see what it would look like.

Expect a massacre!

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

A real head-scratching decision by Ducharme to play Primeau against the top team in the league.
Just a couple of days after having pulled him out from a game...

He should be on Suzuki’s wing.
