REMINDER: THERE IS TO BE NO TANK TALK IN GDT.

The GDT is a place to discuss the game, piss on the refs, cheer for our team & make fun of Buffalo. It is NOT to cheer losses. If you wish to do that, there is now a tank thread for that.

Warnings or thread bans may occur if you use this thread to cheer for a Canadiens loss.

Go Habs!!


Some new line combos this morning at practice

These lines are not ideal long term but I like the change bc Caufield can score with anyone. He doesn't need to be attached to Suzuki's hip. And Suzuki and Slaf worked really well as a combo, controlling the puck. By not having to cover for CC's lack of size and not deferring to him, its harder to be predictable. Adding Dach to that line could have potential as well. I think this shake up is a good way to try something new and get guys out of the fog.

Another loss

A day game in Buffalo

Makes no sense to me.

Which means it will probably work.

I don't know why MSL thinks that putting our best goal scorer with a defense first center will help the team but I didn't coach peewee so what do I know.

 

[iamtalbot]

can primeau keep it under 5 against tomorrow?

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

can primeau keep it under 5 against tomorrow?

In the first or whole game?

 

[Habs13]

These are the worst lines since Jaques Martin

 

[Monsieur Miz]

We might win since they don't have Skinner anymore.

The move to make all along was to just flip centers like I suggested three fricking games ago.
Caufield with Evans and Dach makes more sense.
I think Newhook with Slaf and Suzuki would make those two guys play faster.
The first thing this team has to do is start f***ing skating enough is enough.

6-1 Buffalo.

Gally scores one with 3 minutes left in the 3rd.

Richer scored 50 with Skrudland

 

[Habs]

Tage Thompson will have like a 4 point night tomorrow.

If we could wear those amazing baby blue jerseys he would double that

6-1 Buffalo.

Gally scores one with 3 minutes left in the 3rd.

Off his head probably

There's someone we need a clone of, Brian Skrudland and while were at it lets throw in a Mike McPhee and a Mike Keane.

Probably another bad loss. Lucky to win 20 this year. The team has as much structure as a road hockey game.

It's detrimental to my health watching these games.

Good, the game is in the afternoon so we're safe.

4-1 Buffalo

What's better than a rivalry Buffalo Montreal at 12:30pm on a monday where most of the people that would watch this game are working.

Truly an amazing job from the NHL to schedule a game this bad

Who's watching tomorrow

 

[Runner77]

Sure glad they hung onto Barron instead of sending him to Winnipeg.......

Not sure about Hughes wanting to hang on to him as much as Hughes unable to get anything decent for him.

Hughes probably tried the brothers reunification pitch but Chevaldayoff is usually a savvy horse trader.

 

[The Real Timo]

Who's watching tomorrow

Aye!

 

[ChikN]

Dach should be on a sheltered 3rd line with softer matchups. Dude is drowning out there.

Who's watching tomorrow

I'll probably only be able to catch the end of the 3rd, but somehow I'm not very annoyed by the fact of this game not fitting my schedule. I wonder why...

 

[Runner77]

Dach should be on a sheltered 3rd line with softer matchups. Dude is drowning out there.

I like him on the wing where he has less responsibilities while he’s trying to regain his pre-injury form and yes, get him off the top 6 to make it even easier on him.

We’ve seen this scenario many a time — players coming off major surgeries and missing out on most of the prior season, are just incapable of picking it up where they left off. Re-evaluate mid-season.

There's someone we need a clone of, Brian Skrudland and while were at it lets throw in a Mike McPhee and a Mike Keane.

And a Claude Lemieux for good measure

Crazy that we already know the Habs will lose tomorrow...what we don't know is by how much
