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

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

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

Wjy did you sign this washed up goalie 2 years

 

[Runner77]

Why do you call him that?

Gotta be a play on words off of “mon tombeau”.

Why do you call him that?

In a game a while back against Dallas, Montembeault was taking off his mask with a scowl on his face and many of us remarked that he resembled the Undertaker the wrestler.

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.

Discuss.

Smith Ain't shit, He's an elite Backup goalie with obvious starter potential.. at 40 years old the team can't play good enough defence to make him anything more than a backup especially at his age. .. the teams shit... Hammond is injured btw you could see it in the way he was backing up in his net last game that he strained something. Still a hell of a Low, Elite Tendy.

Smith Ain't shit.. the teams shit... I can't believe you can say that lol and Hammond is Injured... you could see it in the way he was backing up in his net that he strained something. Still a hell of a Low, Elite Tendy.

WHY isn't primeau starting..... he's fresh on a call up and we are playing decent hockey.. enough where primeau will feel confident..

Would have to be a young Taker. I'll take notice later.

thanks.

 

[CauZuki]

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

 

[Max2]

Are we getting Montembeault or Montemblows tonight? That will be the difference.

thanks.

He takes of his mask and tosses his head back to adjust the flow ala the Undertaker lol.

 

[Habano]

Very easy, if NHL Dikembe shows up, we win. If ECHL Dikembe shows up, it will be a rout for the Oilers.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Oh well, it looks like we're getting another one.

Smith has been awful this year. Every other goalie has been better than him in Edmonton this year, including Koskinen.

If Smith really wants to help Edmonton win, he should retire this summer so they can be rid of his cap hit and get an actual goalie.

Then you remember he signed a 35+ contract, so Oilers are stuck with that cap hit regardless.

Yotes won against Ottawa, so I'm going to feel even better when we whip dat Oilers ass
