GDT: SCQ Game 1: Montreal Canadiens vs Pittsburgh Penguins 8/1/20 8:00pm EST SN, CBC, TVA

I may not be on the GDT much, but I will likely be on the PGT. I find I miss too much of the game while trying to keep up with some of the threads. This season wasn't bad because half the threads never made 30 pages. That exhibition game went 45 pages or so.

If you just load a few standard hfboards Habs phrases and hit copy and paste you won’t miss a thing. Like:

• Why is Weal on the PP

• They should switch around the lines and give (insert centreman here) better wingers

• This PP sucks

• Another goal given up in the last minute of a period

My body is ready! This is gonna be fun either way it goes!

Stress is starting

 

[Adam Michaels]

Neither the Carolina/Rangers or the Panthers/Islanders games went to OT. So the Habs/Pens game won't be delayed.

Except today the above will make most happy

I want Weal, Weise and Ouellet double shifted so they match up against both Sid and Makin’s lines

Actually I’ve never been happier to have Claude as our coach

 

[Schooner Guy]

For me losing this series would be a bigger win than if the the Habs actually do win against the Pens. Yeah winning would be a great experience for guys like KK and Suzuki but meh. I'll take that chance at 1st overall and at worst the 9th overall pick since this team really needs some high end talent.

That minute 12.5% probability seems even less now that there's a good chance the Oilers will be in the same lottery.

It was mentioned countless times on the radio someone in Lafreniere's entourage claimed he'd prefer getting drafted by another team than the Habs.

Who can blame him

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

It was on DLC which is right up there with the National Enquirer for integrity and accuracy.

What's DLC?

GDT for the first “playoffs” game in years and there’s only 8 pages.

Thank you Bergevin

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Friends and family I believe. They’re saying they’re worried about how French players get treated and there’s a microscope on them. Honestly, it last from a shitty source so I wouldn’t put much stock into it.

We could always keep Drouin as whipping boy for cheap in 3 years

 

[SnapVirus]

Domi on the 4th is a baddddd joke. I dont know what he did to be in the doghouse like that. They want to trade his ass?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

So what happens if any of these games beforehand go to triple-OT when they’re all playing in the same rink?

Postponement, I guess

You forgot "guess what Dano did, he killed another play"

Although... that's only one poster, but he does it so often...

It's not a 4th line, pretty sure Domi will end up with a ton of ice time...

 

[Mia]

So are they really going with the same lines as last games? It was pretty bad overall so it would be nice.

He was the second most used forward at the exhibition game, though. But I do feel bad for him to be with Weal and Weise. It's not that he's on the 4th line that concerns me. It's the guys he's put with that does.

At center, I have him behind Suzuki and Danault right now. At wing, you could stick him on the 2nd line, and the vacant center slot would have been perfect for Thompson had they not shipped him out at the deadline.

 

[FLHabs]

Man people need to stop with the "Lafreniere doesn't want to play in Montreal". IT WAS MISTRANSLATED! That rumor started on the Habs reddit page. The proper translation, like others have said, is that HIS ENTOURAGE doesn't want him to play here, NOT him. Plus I don't think there's any confirmation about that, probably just MTL media trying to get some clicks.

Don’t worry. There’s always a French player at the end of their career who finds a sudden love of playing for the Canadiens who can fill that spot. I figure that’ll be Vlasic in a couple of years.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Just want Suzuki and Kotkaniemi to have a great game

Suzuki could help make this an interesting series if he ups his game.
Kotkaniemi is still not ready for prime time. I hope he proves me wrong

 

[SlafCaufield]

I really want to see more out of Kotka tonight. Need a lot more out of him very soon.
