Pre-Game Talk: vs. Wings as Habs Try to Earn Theirs (7PM Tomorrow)

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

lol ahl dman back in the lineup directly into the powerplay.
paired with kulak , lmao

They had 2 penalties against 6 though. We are good at complaining about the ref when the opposite happens but we stay very very quiet when we are not on the receiving end of the stick. Considering the PP discrepancy in this game (which we rarely see) i don't think we did that well.

The chances I'm referring to were at even strength.

The PP looks like an issue if they can't set up Caufield and hoffman for one timers.

I think Petry moves the puck too slowly to be a great QB as well.

 

[blarneylad]

Brooks in for Perrault seems like a no brainer

If I were a GM the only no brainer here for me is that neither is good enough and I would acquire a 3rd line center asap pushing Evans down.

 

[JianYang]

This is the worst start since 1995. The worst start ever was back in 1939 with 7 L in a row. That’s what I read today.

Yeah I remember 95-96. It was a crazy year. Lots of hype with koivu's rookie year. Then GM and coach are fired 5 games in, but the Habs went on a big run with the coaching and GM change which got them into the playoffs as the 6 seed.

Patrick roy only lasted a few weeks under the new staff as well.

 

[jakobsbror]

whew. tough game ahead. DET scored 13 goals in four games.

 

[cphabs]

We are f***ed!

what does the quote say? Its not showing up on the feed cause tweeter is blocked

Ducharme: “Anyone can bury us right now and we don’t care. Seriously…we don’t care. We’re gonna take care of business and we’ll finish where we deserve to finish.” - DR

 

[Wateredgarden]

Can't see us competing with a young fresh Wings team. It's gonna be a scoreless game for the old and tired Habs.

Someone needs to ask him of they deserve to finish out of the playoffs at the end of the season and he better say yes.

Also, 5-2 Detroit

2 goals for the Habs? That would be quite the moral victory.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Hmmmm...

after evaluating the contract situation the Habs are currently in I put money on the fact Montreal will tank. I don't know about A lottery win but with the draft being in Montreal and all the "attention" that Montreal seems to attract...

 

[MilesNewton]

Still don't understand for the life of me why you don't put Kulak back with Petry. Then just keep Chiarot and Savard separate. Maybe Kulak/Petry, Romanov/Savard, Chiarot/Wideman.

I didn't mind Chiarot and Wideman but now they want to keep that mixer going.

Agree about Petry Wideman looks better than Petry in that role

Man that D is absolutely putrid

Can Caufield even now shoot a one timer with confidence to the net? Seems as if the kid is in a sophomore slump - Does everyone think that sending him down is a bad move or not?

I'm for giving him 16-17 mins a night, maybe more, with a powerplay wave that focuses on feeding the player who's supposed to be the sniper that shattered goal scoring records in his younger years.

That's what they did last game no?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I should be able to watch it until 7:07ish

 

[dinodebino]

Can’t figure out this third line, mais bon. And Gallagher playing on the first is proof again that the pecking order in Mtl is king.

 

[llamateizer]

Last win vs Det was March 13th 2019

 

[salbutera]

We are f***ed!

Habs started 9-0 out of the gate 2015-2016 season....

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

La Cage and the Wings !

I might say we're gonna eat them ... easyer say than done ...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Habs started 9-0 out of the gate 2015-2016 season....

Ya the 9-0 being Price playing as a god and then got injured for the whole season.
Now Jake Allen is playing fine but he's no 2015 Carey Price.
See the pattern?

 

[McGees]

As long as we finish bottom 10.
Imagine a garbage year and we end up with pick 11 and Ari takes it. I’ll cry lol.

Ive already opened up the betting on the exact same parameters as last season.

In 20-21, we lost in 80% of the games we played where we didn’t score first. So bet our opponents on the money line when we go down by one. Limits both your downside and upside but is +EV over the long run.

With this roster, it feels like another 80%+ win rate is coming this year. Too bad, but might as well profit given that we all know everything about the team.
