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

[Miller Time]

Chiarot... Drouin...

2 of MB's biggest acquisitions in 8 yrs (as far as role/minutes expected to play, trades, Ufa signings)

2 players badly miscast. Expected to contribute at a level far above their capacity.

Sums up nicely why an upgrade at GM is the biggest area of need for our franchise...

 

[CHfan1]

The CBC feed is about 10 seconds ahead of the Sportsnet feed, interesting.

Nice job by Byron and Suzuki on the PK being the first to the puck.

 

[EveryDay]

I have no doubt that David Desharnais was a better player than Jonathan Drouin.....

 

[donghabs98]

Julien looking to change momentum after the tie.

Puts out fourth line and third pairing to only be hemmed in for two minutes.

When in doubt, send out the 4th line. That's Claude's motto

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Having Drouin ok the team reminds me when we had Gomez

 

[LaP]

While Suzuki is a standout we're supposed to have high hope for Drouin

I don't have any hope for him left personally. I don't doubt that he can have 2-3 good seasons in his prime like a Berezin, Samsonov or Czerkawski but he'll remain a guy who can't be part of your main core.

 

[Habs8517]

Another fail by Drouin.
It is clear the veterans on this team gave up, just play the kids.
Eject Ouellet on a canon.

 

[JoelWarlord]

Gutsy play by Drouin. He needs to play a season with prime Eric Lindros before we can say if that was good or bad though.

 

[Shabs]

Honestly weber misses so many nets

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Suzuki

Is everywhere

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Suzuki has such a great stick

 

[Riddick412]

Pitts just crashing the net. Man I miss Weber

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Suzuki is going to be a star.

 

[zx81]

Weber missed the net ?
nahhh not possible

 

[Canadienna]

Domi getting a shift with Tatar/Gallagher

 

[Phil Parent]

The only way Suzuki doesn't become a legit top 6 center for us is injuries.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

When in doubt, send out the 4th line. That's Claude's motto

Dauterive at finest

 

[sandysan]

Weber bomb wide!

 

[Riddick412]

The only way Suzuki doesn't become a legit top 6 center for us is injuries.

Or Bergevin ...

 

[Holystik]

What a shot by Leks...
NOT

 

[Whitesnake]

What to do with Drouin....that is the question. Easy thing ever would say to trade him. What the f*** can you get for this guy.

 

[OldCraig71]

I have no doubt that David Desharnais was a better player than Jonathan Drouin.....

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

I have no doubt that David Desharnais was a better player than Jonathan Drouin.....

A strong case can be made

 

[The Real Timo]

Drouin, Ouellet, Kulak, Weise, Weal... just unreal. It's like purposely depriving yourselves of 5 NHLers
