GDT: MTL @ NYI | Can he do more? | Nov. 5, 2018 7:00pm ET, TSN2 RDS 690AM 98.5FM

[BLONG7]

Great GDT Runner, love these!

As a Drouin supporter since day one, I will say it’s about high time he put his arse in gear. He has a legit offensive centre playing with him now consistently, he has the defensive freedom of playing on the wing, he is getting loads of power play time, he is getting ****loads of ice time and he is healthy..there are literally no excuses.

The only thing missing right now in his game is effort, and that is the enigma of Jonathon Drouin. He’s been like that since junior.

I think it’s time for Weber to pull him aside and give him the stare…( And maybe tell him to smarten the **** up and start working as hard as the rest of his teammates). Or maybe Ducharme, who seemed to get the most productive hockey out of him so far in his junior / pro career.

CJ doesn't seem to be making any headway with JD so Chez Veber just might do the trick.............JD has so much talent, and always seems to lack the effort and intensity, the two things he CAN control.

Isnt it weird we didnt call up anyone? Say someone get hurt during warm up or get the flu and cant play tonight neither tomorrow... we will be forced to play Alzner on the wing?

 

[40Armia]

No Price. Should be close.

 

[OldCraig71]

It was probably messing up his aerodynamics on the back check.

 

[Censored Toad]

Great GDT !!!
Top notch!

Lots of LOLs and just genuinely well done

Here is hoping JDs new hair cut brings out the best in him...

I won't hold my breathe for it thou

 

[40Armia]

He was doing the David Desharnais back check

I can't actually believe what I am about to say but here goes. I believe that DD was possibly a better player than Drouin.

DD competed every shift. He also had a 60 point season. Drouin is a much more talented player but DD showed way more determination. Neither will take you to the promised land

 

[The Great Weal]

No Price. Should be close.

Yeah 0.898 Niemi is definitely better than Price.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Yeah 0.898 Niemi is definitely better than Price.

Price is sitting at .907? that's ~1 extra save on every 100 shots.

 

[The Great Weal]

Price is sitting at .907? that's ~1 extra save on every 100 shots.

Even when you consider that 1 extra save, why would it be closer with Niemi instead of Price?

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

No one's saying it would be better with Niemi... but what I'm saying is I don't get what the hype is, they produce about the same results.

 

[Agalloch]

Yes. and I don't think it's weird... NY-MTL is really not far away.

 

[The Great Weal]

Saying "No Price. Should be close." basically means it would be better with Niemi.

 

[Tyson]

Niemi has not exactly been lights out good which he will need to be tonight

 

[CauZuki]

So when do we see this lineup...

Tatar-Domi-Gallagher
Drouin - Danault - Hudon
Lekhonen - Kotka - Armia
Byron - Peca - Shaw

We have to trade Tatar for a Canadian equivalent...

Nice GDT! @Runner77

 

[Forum93]

maybe he will re-gain his mojo ?

He had mojo at one time? You talking about when he reached 20 goals a couple of years ago or when he was in the Q way back when?

 

[Forum93]

The Drouins? I would have been more impressed with The GALLAGHERS!

 

[Milhouse40]

No one's saying it would be better with Niemi... but what I'm saying is I don't get what the hype is, they produce about the same results.

Well, so far this season, Niemi allowed 3 goals or more in every starts he got.
Having said that, the "excuses" for Price are the same for Niemi....he has a crappy defense in front of him and the style the Habs are playing this season is not helping goaltender's number (And i wouldn't change it)

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No one's saying it would be better with Niemi... but what I'm saying is I don't get what the hype is, they produce about the same results.

Except Niemi gets Detroit and Buffalo, while Price is facing Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh and Toronto. Overall, he faces much tougher competition.

 

[Habssince89]

Would love to see Lehkonen score. I really want him to break out this year as an allround winger. He's a glue guy for this team going forward. Now if he can just get that shot going....

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Except Niemi gets Detroit and Buffalo, while Price is facing Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh and Toronto. Overall, he faces much tougher competition.

true! and yet to me it feels like the difference in performance between a superstar goalie and a very ordinary goalie is tiny compared to other positions.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Second home run GDT on the trot!! Keepem' coming.

 

[teamfirst]

Drouin has played in all of the Habs's 13 games this season and has been held off the scoresheet in 7 games

8 pts in 6 games......pretty good

 

[HabsDood]

On relaxe..... Give it time..

 

[Tyson]

Except Niemi gets Detroit and Buffalo, while Price is facing Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh and Toronto. Overall, he faces much tougher competition.

Yep and one guy makes over 10 times more in salary

About time! Helmet<>Long Hair!
