GDT: Montreal vs Ottawa January 30th 7pm

[Natey]

Couldn't cycle he was surrounded by two Sens.

That's fine, then throw it to the open side. Don't throw it somewhere that's going to give the Sens a 3 on 2. White was covered too. Playing it to Armstrong it better than playing it to White. A turnover behind the net is better than a turnover at the point.

Blunden... Better hockey player, faster, more size, equal fighter.

How much Blunden have you seen to think he's definitively an NHL hockey player much less has discernible talent capable of comparison with other players?

 

[SergeConstantin74]

They're calling absolutely everything both ways. It's ridiculous but it's hurt the Habs no more than Ottawa. Yelling "**** YOU" at a ref gets you 2 minutes, no idea why that would confuse anyone.

White yelled this because the thing he called him for wasn't his fault, Phillips was holding his stick and the ref gave White a roughing call...

 

[sheed36]

As White seen then ice since his penalties?

 

[Rehab]

What an awful game all round. The Refs have destroyed any entertainment value through far too many calls.

 

[Natey]

Blunden... Better hockey player, faster, more size, equal fighter.

I really like Blunden.. but wouldn't he have to clear waivers again? NYI might need a fwd.

Guyz are tired...






No excuses tho

White's 2nd penalty was pointless.

At least he likely learned his lesson.

 

[void]

Refs have been awful (for both sides). They've absolutely murdered the flow. Horrible.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Worse period of the season. It was bound to happen. Subban can't get into the line-up quick enough. Ditto Patches.

I don't care either way. I just want to watch 5-5 hockey, not pp after pp, no matter what. feels like half the game is special teams. it's annoying and kills the speed of the game, and real enjoyable hockey.

As White seen then ice since his penalties?

Yes.

True, but i'm still not going to make it all Eller's fault.

Can't win board battles when they're all that static.

The Good - Ottawa
The Bad - Montreal
The Ugly - The officials

 

[Natey]

Call me crazy, but next game I'd go with;

Bourque - Pleks - Gio
Prust - Gally - Gally
Weber - DD - Cole
Moen - Eller - Colby

Weber as a forward??? If you actually check his production as a forward, it was pretty freaking good. He scored most of his points last year when he was playing forward.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

no one is denying this, but the refs are also brutal on both sides

This is exactly it.

The Sens had worse calls in the first. Habs had worse calls in the second.

The biggest difference is Sens took advantage -- Habs did not. And that's where it stands.

Also Budaj has played well -- he's a back up -- he won't be saving your butt day in and out. He made some killer saves already this game.

 

[Dr Gonzo]

We really need to tighten up our penalty kill. Subban should help in that department.

 

[No More Subban]

sometimes habs know how to put me to sleep.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

As White seen then ice since his penalties?

Yes. Pretty quickly after his penalties were over too.

Ottawa's second game in two nights as well. They're without Spezza and Gonchar, to boot.

 

[SB164]

Bourque should have made a "solid hockey play" on the goalie instead.

Did Lucic ever get suspended for that hit on Miller?

 

[dkd]

3 goals in like 10 minutes. We definitely got ***** there.

 

[loudi94]

As White seen then ice since his penalties?

He has played since. My guess is Blunden plays Saturday though.

 

[jedimyrmidon]

Refs are over-reffing everything. No flow to the game. Makes the game less entertaining.

Habs were never going to win every game. Now they have a wake-up call for this weekend.

Therrien won't delay or play mind games in getting Subban into the line-up (one can only hope).

Play Eller at centre.

 

[Et le But]

I'm just glad I decided to drink tonight. MOTM for me is Maudite.
