GDT: February 2nd 2014 Game of Canadiens vs Jets @ 1 PM on CBC,RDS

[Et le But]

Plecks, Gallagher, Briere, Gionta, and Desharnais what do they all have in common???

They are all forwards?

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

I hate Desharnais.

And I'm quite upset that Phillip Seymour Hoffman passed away, great artist.

 

[roy munson]

Too small to do anything, we get killed in games like this. I don't know what think tank felt like it was better to go small when the ENTIRE league was getting bigger!!!!

There is no way MB doesn't see what we see. Let's watch what he'll do, but I'm not holding my breath...

 

[En7ropy]

DD; "Crap I have a good shooting lane, better make sure no one's open for a pass..."

 

[TheRooster]

If Bourque fell off a boat he'd miss the ocean.

I cracked up to this. Nice one.

 

[Tyrus]

Powerplay moving the puck, there's progress.

Plecks, Gallagher, Briere, Gionta, and Desharnais what do they all have in common???

They have character

 

[VAN-HAB]

They are all forwards?

yes good, what else?

 

[JayKing]

PP lookiing good but sadly no finish. Subban looking good

 

[Et le But]

The size obsession right now is baffling me. The Jets are a big team, but not a very physical one. We've killed them in most of our recent meetups...and now they suddenly have a better coach. Does that tell you the problem is in average height, or something else perhaps?

 

[Kenny Powders]

this PP can't score a goal for ****

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Gally driving to the net. The only player who consistently does that.

2nd PP unit was much better than the 1st.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Beaulieu needs more PP time.

Subban needs to get that shot in check again.

 

[sheed36]

DD's line gets 2 shifts on that PP.

 

[gusfring]

DD with a terrible puck battle there. Unreal.

 

[Tyson]

Beaulieu needs more PP time.

Subban needs to get that shot in check again.

Totally agree about NB

The idea is, and I agree with it, that it's better to have a big, average team and then make moves to add smaller-but-more-talented players than have a small, average team and have to make moves to add talented players.

We're starting at a disadvantage and it has less to do with average height and weight and more to do with the fact that our top lines have Moen and Prust on them.

 

[Et le But]

Beaulieu is awesome.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Yes, looking good. The CBC lovefest for Winnipeg has been sickening. We didn't start well but we've had the better chances.

 

[bud12]

Plecks, Gallagher, Briere, Gionta, and Desharnais what do they all have in common???

You can add Thomas,Bournival and even Prust

 

[MarkovsKnee]

4th line had a good shift. Nice hit by Subban along the boards too.

 

[Maffew]

yes good, what else?

I know what you're insinuating, but the answer is nothing important.

Right, size is not that important but when half of offense is made of midgets then yea it's a concern....

They've been quite physical against us in this game so far.

The Habs are a small team, but its MT's job to adapt his system around that team, which he's done a horrible job of doing (this year). So yes, you're right.

Well the Jets issues aren't stemming from size, that's one of their team strengths. I don't see why it's baffling to want more size in this particular lineup. Especially when the coach is hell bent on playing a style that needs size.
