Pre-Game Talk: 2025 Playoff Round 1 - Game #1 : Montreal at Washington. Monday April 21st

Demidov vs Ovechkin

No way we’re winning this with this coach.

 

[River Meadow]

Anything can happen in a playoff series.

Hopefully Monty/Dobes get hot at the right time.

 

[morhilane]

It's going to come down to goaltending!

Thompson is injured, he haven't yet received shots during practices, but restarted to skate (his injury is upper body).
Lingren will probably be the starter, unless the break before the playoffs start is enough for Thompson to be ready.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Go Habs Go!! I'm very happy to see Habs in playoffs!! We have young team who can surprise in playoffs!!

Slafkovsky in playoffs that will be very very good to see !!

 

[Andrei79]

Washington are big, skilled and have depth at all positions. The hope is that Thompson comes in rusty or is injured. I'm hoping they can get at least 2 wins to make it a series, but anything from now on is gravy. Hutson and Suzuki will be targeted by their bigger players so hopefully they don't get any serious injuries.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Washington probably wants the Monday start too.

Protas is out due to his foot getting cut by a skate recently. He's week to week.

Logan Thompson is also out & Washington hasn't even set a timetable for him. The announcement was just "a little bit of time." Whatever the f*** that means.

If Lindgren starts, Washington is probably screwed because he's been absolute shit. Lol

If Thompson starts, we'll see - he might be cold coming off an injury, or maybe he plays well rested.

 

[Team_Spirit]

LT and Protas out??? Oh mama

 

[habsnacks]

Gonna tear through Washington like it’s January 6th. GHG!!!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Back in 2010 I'd have bet my car on us losing to the Caps. And I'd have bet my house on us not beating Washington and Pittsburgh. Those were absolutely massive upsets.

I wouldn't make that bet today.

But I still think Washington takes this.

Gallagher is the only member of the team to play in front of a full Bell Centre

 

[The Great Weal]

Rest and no more pressure will be a complete game changer for us

 

[Bouboumaster]

[The Gr8 Dane]

We have no chance if we can’t get the PP going. If we are not a threat on PP they will bully us all the way.
