[No More Subban]

Still no Romanov

I've got a bad feeling about this one but if we can split on the road I like our chances coming home

 

[tooji]

I expect a strong start from the habs. Jets will be fresh but also rusty. Habs have honed their team game in the last few nights so will be a bit more fatigued but ready to go

 

[habsfan891]

Nice gdt dong hopefully Jets are rusty and we can steal game 1

 

[Seb]

From now on all the games are a bonus to me.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Let's be honest, we all lied when we said we were satisfied with just beating the Leafs. Let's win this shit.

 

[BLONG7]

This is a better team than the leafs...tough sledding ahead.....Price gonna Price hopefully!!

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

As much as beating the Leafs was our Stanley Cup, based on the standings we have the easiest 2nd round opponent of anyone to make it to the semis, can’t waste this opportunity.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Factors in this series that I see on the Jets side.

* Lowry and Thompson (3rd/4th line centers). Jets bottom 6F vs Habs bottom 6F.
* Demelo and Forbort who are playing in the top 4D. What's the depth on D if someone gets hurt? Benn, Heinola, Niku?
* 30% PP in round 1 (3 goals in 10 opportunities)

 

[Habs Halifax]

Still no Romanov

Game 2 is what I say or after the 1st game we loose.

Hopefully the Jets are rusty! Come out strong and get in Hellebuyck's head early on!

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

I think they can split the games in Winnipeg but it'll be difficult to win game 1. I'd like to see a stat on the performance of teams who go seven against teams that went 5 and under when they faced off in the next round.

Ducharme might want to use that danault line the same if they are stacking their 1st line. I think the Habs need to get to Ehlers. That should be priority #1. Take him out and the depth scoring and be easily controlled

30% on the PP in round 1 (3/10). I think this will be a big factor. Hopefully we can contain them on the PP.

I also think Evans should play with Danault and Gallagher. If we are going to try to shutdown their top line, we need someone who can skate and play physical with Danault and Gallagher. All 3 boys on their top line are big and strong.

 

[BigHabs]

Let's GO

Let's get the first game win! Build the confidence early! Let's gooooo!

 

[Habs Halifax]

"If we give up a goal, your pizza is free". That's some good stuff there boys!

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Should be a tough series. I'm hoping Habs game-ready system allows them to take game 1.

 

[Tyson]

Habs can win this and I think we all need to recognize that DD actually has a clue. He was thrown into the fire that included many injuries and an insane schedule that didn't allow him to practice his new team.
Now it's coming together and game 7 was impressive.

Don't count the Habs out just yet.

Game 7 was impressive. I loved the north/south game and less messing around in our own end. Get it out when there is clutter. Turnovers in our own end while we were messing around with the puck, killed us all season long. It was probably our biggest area of improvement.

Jets have a big forward group, meh D, and good goalie. Our D lacks some mobility but they play a tight box and they can pound you along the walls. The issue is when we get the puck back in our own end, we need to not give it back.

Ehlers is a factor on the 2nd line but that 1st line is the one that will pound you with their size. Evans/Danault/Gallagher need to be against their top line. If I was Ducharme, I'd make a challenge to Caufield where his job is to counter Ehlers and use his speed to make sure he don't get loose. Caufield and Ehlers are not very big guys so it would be interesting to watch. However, for as good as I like Caufield's skating, Ehlers skating is unreal

Suzuki and Toffoli won't be able to keep up to Ehlers.

4-3 MTL with Armia with the GWG.

Watch Kyle Connor Please

 

[beowulf]

Will Romanov get into the lineup? Will Habs d finally produce some offense? Only 1 assist by Petry in the Leafs series will not do.

 

[roy munson]

Let's be honest, we all lied when we said we were satisfied with just beating the Leafs. Let's win this shit.

That's what I thought right after game 7, but I want more!
We can do this, GO HABS GO!

Legggggo, no pressure
