GDT: CBJ @ MTL | 7 PM EST

[Cujorulesdtown9]

Our brains absolutely fled this game. Terrible defense, terrible passing. Just moronic decisions all over.

 

[Fred Glover]

The past month has shown Waddell all he needs to see to overhaul the roster for next season
I expect a lot of changes from trades to free agent signings
Name a position and it needs an upgrade

Yeah Waddell is known for big trades, I fully expect a shocker in the offseason

Trying to decide whether to start or sit Montembeault in fantasy hockey.

For those who may be wondering, I started Montembeault. I decided the Jackets are probably tired after the west coast swing. So game two of a back to back on the road did not seem favorable for a CBJ offensive explosion.

I feel sorry for Tarasov, he couldn't have scored a single goal if not for him, Habs might score 10 goals as well.

Our guys should see how Montreal plays. Blocking DZ center, clearing space in front of the net, players making each other confident. They played hard and won the battles.

Provorov caused Condotta's goal, but I wonder where our first line was? Was it waiting for the third and fourth to decide the game like it was with the Pens?

The 2nd season syndrome is showing up on Fantilli and the wingers are paying the price.

We got lucky with the Pens, but that can't last forever.

You know, if the Habs were better, I wouldn't be angry. But they have kindergarten defense and centers, except Suzuki, are worse than ours. Dach can't get his play back from his knee injury and Newhook is playing worse than Olivier.

I was sure we win. I am afraid...

This is only the 17th game and 2 days rest. And the time difference is only 3 hours (4 hours, 22 minutes fly). Professional athletes have special care, massages, etc. In the KHL they play in Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, it is 7 hours difference between Vladivostok and Moscow (8 hours 55 minutes), then go to the European part of Russia, where it is Moscow time. Or the Siberian tour. Btw, the closest non- Pacific team is Omsk, 3 hours (5 hours 30 minutes or 4 hours and something) difference. What are the Pacific teams to say?

Btw, we had 3 days rest between San Jose and Los Angeles games. So again, these excuses are ridiculous.

I'm assuming your reply was sarcastic..So to respond to FG

The problem with trades is who would want the guys we would be willing to trade?

If we all think Provorov sucks who would want him for much more than a 4th rounder? Maybe if someone is desperate at the TDL then maybe we could get a 1st.

Severson's contract makes that a no brainer unless the Jackets are willing to eat 50%. (Which in my opinion is not completely insane Think of it as we just locked in a 3rd pair guy for 6 years)

Jiricek is either a very late bloomer or a very slow learner.

The top guys are young and have promise so I don't see any of them being traded.

Elvis? maybe but probably not bring back a lot, if anything.

You may have to trade something of value to get something of value
I don’t know what that is or what that looks like
I’ll let Waddell figure it out

 

[MoeBartoli]

Severson with his second “I have no hockey IQ” play of the night

I’d bench both Provorov and Severson for that. Complete tire fire from both of them

Provorov/Severson might be the worst d pairing in the league

That was quite the defensive clinic right there…..

Severson healthy scratch next game.

Thanks everyone. You saved me the need for my obligatory GDT post dumping on Severson

 

[Crede777]

Need to scratch Severson against Boston and dress Jiricek. Second pairing of Christiansen - Provorov and third pairing of Harris - Jiricek.

Need to get Sillinger off Fantilli's line. Replace him with Voronkov. Fantilli is trying to do everything himself and partnering him with guys like Sillinger and Pytthia isn't helping.
