GDT: 11/4/2016 Canadiens @ Blue Jackets | Friday 7:00PM

I'm in class but following along with the game. I worry that this game is going to be a repeat of last season vs Columbus where things were trending downwards and they ended up having a bad game, causing Michel to panic. He mixed up all the lines pretty much nonstop for the rest of the year and never really recovered.

 

[Tyson]

Shots are only 7-1. Good to see the team responding to their slow start from last game

 

[Belial]

The Blue jackets aren't known for their scoring yet they already have 8 shots to none! Wtf!

Let's relax about the shots ... I didn't saw one dangerous shot till now...

 

[SB164]

The Habs have pretty much stopped hitting since MT took over. They get out hit badly most games.

I wonder if JJ has something to do with it. PK definitely became less physical after Daigneault was hired.

 

[sharks9]

Shaw sucks

 

[Kenny Powders]

That line is putrid

 

[sheed36]

So... a definite 'no', then?

Nothing I can add to that.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Lol shaw... That line is terrible in both way of the ice

 

[negative77]

DD line not a good shift there.

 

[OldCraig71]

Patch DD and Shaw is our worst line.

 

[SB164]

The Habs have been outplayed by the Leafs, the Canucks, and now the Blue Jackets. Ugly.

 

[Brainiac]

Seriously, it looks like we're killing a penalty way too often when the Patch-DD-Shaw line is on the ice...

 

[waffledave]

Let's relax about the shots ... I didn't saw one dangerous shot till now...

I was told that number of shots is a measure of dominance in hockey. It's apparently the reason they dominated in the playoffs despite losing.

 

[Tyson]

This friggin team is 9-0-1...how is that possible?

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

Of course Patches-Shaw-DD our worst line so far. Which almost assures us that Therrien will keep it together. Gotta get Desharnais going right? And Patches is the heart & soul of this team what with the C and all. Well, I'm just trying to think like Therrien does. It's an uncomfortable frame of mind

 

[Lebowski]

Shaw has been simply horrendous since the beginning of the season.

When does this start to get concerning?

 

[jpchabby]

Holy crap they're playing terribly

 

[sheed36]

I wonder if JJ has something to do with it. PK definitely became less physical after Daigneault was hired.

Probably. JJD was charmin ultra soft as a defenseman.

 

[The Great Weal]

6 more years!

 

[waffledave]

This friggin team is 9-0-1...how is that possible?

Shooting percentage was very high, boosts confidence. When shooting percentage normalizes, confidence takes a hit. Coach messing with the lines doesn't help. Too early in the season for mixing up the lines like that.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Not ready to play.

Yet again..

 

[mariolemieux66]

DD needs to be out of this team
Weakest link!!!!

 

[negative77]

This looks really bad so far.

 

[SB164]

The Habs have not scored a 1st period goal in their last 6 games.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

This friggin team is 9-0-1...how is that possible?

Price and Montoya playing really really well.
