Pre-Game Talk: Vancouver @ Montreal

[BLONG7]

We need to show up, and win one for our #4 and to change the mood from a rough finish on the road trip...

 

[President XD]

Max and DD spending some time together knowing they won't be on the same line tonight?

 

[Tuggy]

Beaulieu in tonight

Should see:
Markov-Subban
Emelin-Gonchar
Beaulieu-Gilbert

Should be in every night. Hopefully he can solidify himself in the lineup.

Well the D pairings are a bit better. Allen is just a bigger version of Bouillon. He gets beat to the outside the way Bouillon was at training camp. I understand it was a cap move. Let's not pretend he has miles left in the tank.

Bouillon was more mobile than Allen. I'm not sure who is worse defensively as Bouillon was very, very bad.

Can't wait to see what Beaulieu does with his 7 minutes of ice time

Probably a couple turnovers.

Probably a couple turnovers.

Beaulieu needs to compensate by putting up points. What he didn't do his last time up. His time in the AHL shows he can still produce but he needs to adjust offensively to the NHL.

He needs to work on his shot big time ... He never shoots low and misses net alot

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Probably a couple turnovers.

Probably put up great possession numbers too.

 

[Tabarouette]

He needs to work on his shot big time ... He never shoots low and misses net alot

every player on this team needs to work on their shot big time, Gionta infected them

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Either that or his shot gets blocked by the forward just in front of him. Every damn time

Anyway, the defense pairings seems optimal tonight so I hope that Bro has a great game to for Michel to keep it that way!

That part was jokingly added by a poster. As for Galchenyuk centering the first line, it's cool that it's going to happen. But I hope Therrien at least leaves it be for a couple of games if this one against Vancouver leads to a loss.

Hahaha, yeah I heard it after on TV. Still was a joke, but I'm sad he didn't really say that part lol

Since he is in the NHL he didn't put points on the board. Look at Klingberg in Dallas. Beaulieu has 6 assists in 37 NHL games. Let's not overrate our prospects. He's a good skater with an OK first pass and pretty bad defensively. We need solid Ds and both Beaulieu and Tinordi are bottom pairing Ds, which is disappointing. (I get they are as good/better than some of the old D we have in the lineup, but they haven't done much in the NHL and in the AHL).

I think he's more like, "What can I do to have Pacioretty to myself ".
