GDT: Flames vs Habs in Montreal 7PM Nov. 5th

[habbubba]

Projected Habs lineup:

Cole Caufield	Nick Suzuki	Kirby Dach
Alex Newhook	Jake Evans	Juraj Slafkovsky
Brendan Gallagher	Christian Dvorak	Josh Anderson
Emil Heineman	Oliver Kapanen	Joel Armia

Mike Matheson	Kaiden Guhle
Lane Hutson	David Savard
Arber Xhekaj	Jayden Struble

I’m at a loss on what to say about the second to fourth lines.

Jake Evans as a number two center??!!! Whooof.

Putting our number one overall draft pick on the second line so that we can continue trying to boost the corpse of Kirby Dach into being productive?

That third line has more holes than a sieve.

And instead of dressing some grit on the fourth line, we’ve got two rookies and a warm body. Lomberg is going to be taking some healthy runs at those two kids.

At least Xhekaj is in the lineup I guess.

If it were me, I’d have Newhook and Armia watch the game from the stands, send Kapanen back to the SHL, insert Pezz into the lineup and call up Beck and Davidson for the game.

My lines would look like:

Caufield - Suzuki - Davidson
Slafkovsky - Beck - Dach
Gallagher - Evans - Anderson
Pezzetta - Dvorak - Heineman

Hutson - Guhle
Matheson - Struble
Xhekaj - Savard

Spread the talent out between the top two lines, add some grit and speed from the AHL guys and insulate them with some veterans, add some toughness for the fourth line and balance our size/speed/talent a little more on the back end.

Not liking that offensive juggernaut Evans in the 2 role? You know he's tearing it up and on pace for a mind boggling 35 point season! And will be UFA,better to lock im up before he gets away.

Read multiple interviews with players
Not that they would ever say different
Lol
Still too early in the season for everyone to panic
Just my thoughts

The proof is in the pudding my friend. Lets see them do it on the ice.

 

[habbubba]

First time in a long time I don't expect to be disappointed as I'm expecting yet another disgraceful performance.Go Habs Go.

 

[ArtPeur]

Today is 11/5

Habs will lose 11-5

 

[morhilane]

Jake Evans as a number two center??!!! Whooof.

He is the only other player who can play center at the NHL level on the team right now.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Is that can happen? We can win tonight? They suck more than we do? It's possible? Really?

Nahh, nahh, nahh, we'll get flamed tonight, like the crêpe flambée of that famous restaurant.

If Calgary scores 1 minute into the game, it’s over.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Can't wait to see Pospisil bully the first line again.

The Bergevin rejects all together on the same line.

 

[PhysicX]

My brother-in-law just called me. He got tickets to the zone Desjardins.

Calgary va en manger une en tabaslak!

6-0 Habs

Harris wins

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

The Bergevin rejects all together on the same line.

Sadly Armia is left out

 

[Habs13]

My knee hurts. Do what you wish with that information.

 

[badfish]

Hutson first goal

 

[Habs]

The proof is in the pudding my friend. Lets see them do it on the ice.

 

[Tuggy]

I have no expectations for tonight. Hoping for Caufield, Hutson and Slafkovsky goals.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Election night, this game is an easy skip. You guys have fun.

 

[Bouboumaster]

When do you have the opportunity to watch two disasters happening at the same time?

Last season you needed 91 pts in the east to make the playoff.

Habs have currently 9 in 12, so they would need 83 in 69 if they lose tonight in regular time. That’s .601 hockey. To give an idea, only 10 teams play over .600 hockey right now.

Not saying the season is over if they lose this tonight, but seeing it like that put things in perspective.

Must win??

 

[sansabri]

i don't have a good feeling about tonight. hopefully i'm proven wrong

 

[The Real Timo]

Monty with a shutout. I have a feeling.

I have a feeling too. Time for a beer????

 

[HabsCode]

Must win??

Let’s just say a L tonight might trigger a switch in some people’s opinion about the value of the next few potential W.

They may Adapt a Negative perspective, if you Know what I mean.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Let’s lose so we can help keep the Flames pick just above top 10 so we get the best pick possible.

Make the Flames pick great again, as they say.
