Wow, beautiful GDT!

 

[Le Tricolore]

Awesome GDT.

Go Habs!

 

[Runner77]

And another game I'm going to miss. And I'm probably going to miss Saturday's as well...

So that's what a moderator does -- watches games in ... moderation.

Fantastic GDT.

GHG!

 

[Habs Icing]

GDT of the year.....and we're not even at game 10 yet.

For tonight, may Carey save us all. Will be tough. But we will pull this out.

I'm betting you're Catholic.

 

[DangerDave]

Yup. Just can't seem to find the time to watch the games right now.

At least I can enjoy the talents of Roy with his GDTs.

Well hopefully you get to watch more in the future. I like reading your perspective.

 

[Hoople]

Checking in to say it's flattering to hear that.

Love the Tampa fans, hate the likes of Boyle, Bishop, Cooper, Johnson, Callahan etc.

Boston? Well, can't say anything nice about the team nor 98% of their fans.

Hope both teams have a spirited but injury free game tonight.

 

[Habs Icing]

Is that his wife or LG himself then?

He doesn't use curlers.

The only thing i hate from TB is Tyler Johnson and Ben Biflop. And i don't even hate the guys. I just hate the fact they embellishment as much as our guys yet nobody call them out in the main board.

By far, the biggest test of the year for the Habs. (Pittsburgh was missing Crosby and looked tired in the 2nd of back-to-back games.)

Tampa is probably the closest thing to a consensus favourite to win the Cup this year, and that's the team the Habs will likely have to beat if they are going to at least get out of their division in the playoffs.

nhl.com's power rankings released this morning rate Tampa 1st and the Canadiens 2nd in the NHL right now. For Tampa Bay:

Hit: Captain Steven Stamkos has five goals in his past five games, including three in his past two.
Miss: Goalie Ben Bishop has allowed three goals or more in each of his first four starts for a 3.51 goals-against average and .885 save percentage.

For Montreal:

Hit: Forward Alexander Radulov has looked comfortable, motivated and confident, indications that he will be worth the one-year contract/gamble the Canadiens took on him.
Miss: Center Alex Galchenyuk has struggled with faceoffs. He's won 30 percent of his faceoffs this season.

Tampa is a superior team. For the Habs to beat them I think they have rely on team defense, starting with Price and then Weber, to shut down Tampa's offensive weapons.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Tough one on the back to back. Getting a single point out of it would be something. I like the statement by the coaches to save Price for it though, most teams put their starter in the first, to try and at least get the split, MT going for both wins.

That and also the fact that Tampa is the superior team than the Islanders, and this game is on home ice, teams like to ice their starters at home on back-to-backs when one game is on the road.

 

[Justin11]

Great GDT!

For some reason, this is a team that gives Price a hard time. Hopefully this is not the case tonight.

Go Habs Go!

 

[Skip Bayless]

Tampa's transition is absolutely lethal, the habs will have to play really tight in the neutral zone.

 

[cphabs]

Thank you for the GDT. I consider it an honor even to even say "thank you".

 

[CH25]

GDT is hilarious

Hope the Habs can pull this off

 

[Devourers]

Tampa's transition is absolutely lethal, the habs will have to play really tight in the neutral zone.

Thankfully in the games that I've seen (not a lot, been working like crazy ) I've found our neutral zone game has been quite good thus far.

 

[Tyson]

A lot of folks are hoping for at least one point. This is a different Habs team from years past. I expect a win.

 

[GREMLIN]

We're due for a loss and a lot of people will be losing their minds over DD and MT in the GDT (e4)

 

[donghabs98]

I couldn't wait for this game just for your GDT and like always you never disappoint Roy.

 

[jaffy27]

And another game I'm going to miss. And I'm probably going to miss Saturday's as well...

You need to invest in a PVR....I do it all the time for my games and Antichambre when I'm away for work

 

[peate]

Early candidate for GDT of the year right there. Roy never fails to deliver.

Tonight we will see why Carey is considered the best goalie in the world.

Probably as people only seem to show up over here when we are losing so that they can complain.

Back to back against a team the Habs struggle against is not a good recipe. I'm expecting a low scoring 2-1 game with both goalies standing on their head.

 

[Adam Michaels]

A lot of folks are hoping for at least one point. This is a different Habs team from years past. I expect a win.

I'm counting on Bishop's bad GAA and SV% and the Habs good Goals/Game and league-best Goals Against Average to pull this off.

It's a new season and Tampa is definitely our biggest hurdle. But let's not forget last year we beat them every time we faced them.

 

[Lshap]

Don't know why anyone would hate Tampa. Great team but not dirty. They beat us fair and square last series, yet their fans remained pretty classy. Nice city, nice arena (was there last winter). I want to beat them next playoffs, but if they win I'll be cheering for them to go all the way.

 

[ZARTONK]

I just noticed we're first in the league..
