GDT: SCF Game 2: Montreal Canadiens vs Tampa Bay Lightning 8:00 PM EST CBC, SN, TVAS, TSN 690

It’s ironic Weber got fined for that stick to Leonardo Di Kucherov.
Through out the first 2 periods I was pissed at how our top 4 D were not dishing out the pain like they did in the first 3 series , like they were very apprehensive at giving Tampa some p.p time.
To some extent, it’s understandable, Tampa’s pp is mind boggling, but I still think we need to get back to basics and make them suffer.
I liked the KK line, only trio that had some success in the forecheck.
Susuki’s line looked overwhelmed all night, but if there is one thing we are sure of, is that he and CC are gamers, they’ll find a way to adjust.
Sergachev is always on the verge of going coo-coo any time he gets hit….. go hard against him and let him lose his shit

I hope the Habs have shook off all the nerves in game 1, let’s make Tampa work for this atleast.

I hope Karma catches TB and they lose 18m$ in salary tonight.
Wh8le i dont wish ill will upon anyone, a simple hamstring pull of groin tweak will suffice, enough to keep them out of game.

I don’t know, I admit it’s a long shot, but if we’re going to beat them I want them at their best. That would make this epic run that much more legendary.

 

[Kennerback]

good,

now make Kuch life miserable... not dirty... but make him invisible

In Montreal, the crowd needs to boo him. He deserves it more than Pacioretty.

Evans in a non-contact jersey at practice.

They f***ed up with Armia and most likely rushed(symptoms?) with Evans.

Well played.

 

[Ezpz]

Finshed work early today after 10 days in a row. Ready to win tonight boys?

Well played.

first half of the game, Evans was not up to par. It was obvious he had been rushed. He adjusted later.

 

[MasterDecoy]

Another dominating showing. 2-1 bolts.

Well played.

There seems to be some confusion over jersey colours. Tatar is in the same colour jersey, so it may just be guys not playing.

 

[Kennerback]

Another dominating showing. 2-1 bolts.

if they can only muster one goal again against Vasilevski. They can just close shop. It’s asking the impossible to Price.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Habs must and will adapt a new defensive strategy that had been implemented successfully as seen mid way through the Toronto series and after game one of the Knights series. Tonight's game will be no different, we will see a different Habs team hopefully with a favorable outcome

 

[sheed36]

Richardson just said Armia and Evans are game time decisions.

[McGees]

Damn, he's really taking a beating these playoffs.

[Crusher117]

Damn, he's really taking a beating these playoffs.

I expect a big game from him tonight. We going to war tonight! Go Habs Go!

 

[Canadienna]

Amazing GDT! Something about those faces creeps me out.

Kotkaniemi and Edmundson are having some uhh.. fun.

Go Habs!

 

[CaliHab84]

Hi Hab fans, as you know I am a Bruins fan cheering for the Canadians to win this series.

Is redemption going to be the strategy for tonight or are they going to win this must game to change the series outcome?

Go Habs

I would have rather played the Bruins. I can't stand the lightning even from the Lecavalier days hated them.

 

[Yoor]

I have to agree with this, last thing we need is more excuses from all the media pundits blaming injuries etc...for our "lucky" win. I want to earn this one.

 

[Laurentide]

if they can only muster one goal again against Vasilevski. They can just close shop. It’s asking the impossible to Price.

They couldn't muster even 20 shots last game. It'll take close to 40 against Vasilevskiy just to maybe get 2 past him. I doubt we score 3 times in a game against him.

 

[Laurentide]

NHL Network Radio yesterday spent more time talking about the Simmonds deal than anything else. More than RNH's deal and certainly more than the Habs-Lightning series. They even doubled back to talking about the Islanders. But NHL Network is primarily for a US audience so it's kind of expected. What's TSN's excuse?

 

[CHfan1]

I’m pretty sure Armia’s playing, not sure why he’d be a game time decision:



Richardson’s right, the first two goals came off of bad turnovers going into Tampa’s zone and the 3rd goal was a lucky bounce off of Chiarot, limit those mistakes and it’s a different game:



If the Danault line matches up against the Gourde line for the majority of the game again they have to produce offensively.

 

[TannedBum]

Richardson just said Armia and Evans are game time decisions.

Here we go again... These aren't game time decisions Luke. In fact these aren't decisions at all. Some things are obvious.

 

[Jee]

good luck all, may the forum ghosts be with us
