Pre-Game Talk: Montreal @ Edmonton: March 5th 7pm

[MarkovsKnee]

Edmonton is playing much better since they fired Tippett. Koskinen is on a roll, while Smith is shit.

I guess we'll see who starts.

When we played them in Montreal, they won 7-2. Montembeault started and was complete crap. Finishing with a .625 save percentage in 40 minutes.

Kassian ran over Montembeault, and Petry ignored it. Pezz stepped up in 3rd, but was no match.

Both coaches in that game were summarily fired.

I expect Hammond to start again.

Hammond is injured.

WHAT?!!!

We just got him.

He's like our 5th goalie this year already.

Come check out the Edmonton GDT lol GDT: - Oilers host Habs @ 5pm MT - Nutshot Saturday Night

Montembeault starts. Hammond has been placed on IR with a lower body injury. Too many stretching saves vs Calgary, I guess.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Sorry to hear about Hammond. Come back stories are always so fun to watch. Hopefully Monty can shake off that last start and give a solid effort.

It's hard to say what we get from the Undertaker. There have been nights where he looked really good and there have been nights where he looked like a beer league goalie(Winnipeg). I would feel better with the burger guy in net but oh well, he broke a toenail or something so he's not available.

Does Holland keep Ben after the game?

No, he’s too busy wasting the prime years of his generational players.

Mick Davis gonna shred this team

Hard to fire a guy named Tippett in hockey.

Over-stretched the McNuggets?.....

 

[swimmer77]

Who is going to "mark" McDavid? Wasn't that a strategy used with Byron?

Hammond is out? You can't be serious? Well, I guess it's true. Fitting with this season.

Truly have no idea what to expect in this game. Could be a blowout by Edmonton because the boys are resting on their laurels with the Calgary win.

Hope MSL tells them to have fun. They may need it.

Surprised this is at 7.

 

[sheed36]

Gas is too god damn expensive to go anywhere so I guess I'll watch this game tonight. I'd like to see Draisaitl win the Rocket this season so I wouldn't mind a 3 or 4 goal game from him tonight as long as the Habs make it a competitive and entertaining game.

Smith is starting, so expect to score at least 2 goals on the first 5 shots.

Only had to scolle 5 years to see the entire post sike


Also this canadian trip is a real disaster
I expect Edmonton to be bad as usual

They won 8-2 against us last game and they did not even played a good game lmao.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ahh f*** whatever

 

[KevSkillz4]

Okay, stop W Habs. With Edmonton and Vancouver who battle for a playoff spot, I'd expect they will play very good against Habs. We need to lose both. 36 regular L after 57 games, will be perfect for the tank.

Surprised this is at 7.

You shouldn't be. I can't recall the last time hnic didn't put the leafs or habs in their "primetime" slot despite it being a early start for the home team in Western Canada.

It's been a thing for several years now.

 

[JianYang]

I think the habs have used 6 or 7 goalies this year, so we know all about goalies being in tough.

The sad thing about the oilers though is that any rational person could see this coming with the oilers who actually had a choice in the offseason to go a different direction with their goaltending. The habs got forced into it with long term injuries to price and allen.

f***ing Smith..

Gotta take it one loss at a time - can't be looking too far ahead

Why do you call him that?

Which Montembeault will show up?
