Pre-Game Talk: Vancouver @ Montreal

Pacioretty with a hatty (3 primary assists from Galchenyuk)

Wouldn't be enough to keep DD away from Patches. However, if Chucky finshes with 55+% in the dots...

Pacioretty with a hatty (3 primary assists from Galchenyuk)

There would be stories from the locker room of Desharnais curled up in a ball in the shower crying.

 

[Natey]

Is this real?!?!

That's one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard come out of an NHL players mouth. Absurd relationship between those two. wtf

EDIT: Read that DD was joking when saying this to the media. The little respect I had for DD has been restored.

It was a joke.

Desharnais: "It's like a relationship. Every time a chance comes your way you pass, and then you realize its been 5 or 6 months and you haven't scored. You don't think you can play with anybody else, you don't think you can find someone else."

 

[Smokey Thompson]

So excited to see these lines tonight... Vancouver's a good deep team so it'll be a challenging game as well.

 

[Karl Pilkington]

Really hoping the Chucky line clicks early. Tomorrow will no doubt be a huge game. If the guys come up flat after the type of ceremony the Habs are going to give for Beliveau then I will be extremely disappointed.

If they don't they will be summarily broken up. It's gotta be hard to get something going as a line when you know if you don't do it right away the coach is going to blow the thing up.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Will not be an easy game, ceremony before the game, back from a road trip and the way the Canucks lost in Ottawa the other night I'm sure they will want to avenge that.

Will be a very emotial game

Go Habs Go

 

[Seb]

Desharnais and Pacioretty separated?!?

 

[Account Terminated]

And for the first time, they both sound kind of relieved to be apart. It was definitely time.

 

[General Fanager]

Desharnais and Pacioretty separated?!?

only until Chuckie loses 2 faceoffs in the first 5 minutes....

 

[Habs 4 Life]

only until Chuckie loses 2 faceoffs in the first 5 minutes....

or until the first pp we get

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

DD with 1g 1a , Patches -2 .... Ghetto scores on his 2nd career shot to keep that shooting % at 100

 

[Redux91]

Galchenyuk 20
Gallagher 22
Sekac 22
Andrighetto 21
Pacioretty 26


its the future boys (scherbaks 19 )

 

[Adriatic]

I hope to see Ghetto playing the half boards on the power play tonight. Those few moments he played there against Dallas already convinced me he knows what he's doing at that position and is more of a threat than either Pleks or DD. When playing the half boards and the opposing team is cheating to cover the point (which every team does against Habs) you have to take the space to cut in and take a shot which Pleks or DD never ever ever ever do...they are so easy to defend it's crazy. Kovalev was really a master at this..cheat on him he sets up the point for a blast, cheat on the point he walks in the slot and rips it shelf. Anyways Andrighetto did that exact same play the other night and we got an instant scoring chance. Dallas was cheating on the points and with no hesitation he just walked in and got a great shot off.

Subban not playing tonight?

fixed that for you, I can't believe PAP and Bournival are on the first line

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.

#HabsOn690 it's an optional morning skate that is why Subban is not on the ice. Beaulieu is paired with Gilbert

 

[Tabarouette]

Subban wasn't on the ice for the optionnal skate? no respekt 4 his teemmate, bench him

 

[bipolarhabfan]

Just win, that is all. If the Habs only won two games a year, the wins would have to come at the expense of the Canucks. They were gifted a win the last time around.

It's the time of year where he has organic bison burgers on the grill and they need extra attending to.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Beaulieu in tonight

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

 

[Saundies]

Really like the lines tonight, including the D. Hopefully this line up has some success and that's what we go with for a bit.

Gonna be a good one.

I like them as well. I hope MT gives these lines some time and not just 1 period.
