Pre-Game Talk: Game 1 Preseason Habs vs. Philadelphia (Monday Sept. 23 – 7PM ET) – Bell Centre

[SwiftyHab]

I’m way too excited to see live game action but want to give others a chance to do these much better than I do. So can a mod make a GDT sign up thread and make it sticky? Or if I could do it let me know. @donghabs98

That game won’t mean much for the evaluation of the players since more then 50% of the players are gonna be AHLer for life but excited to have a game

We just need one Kapanen or one Hutson, maybe one Dach and one Laine and i will personally be extremely excited

Kapanen is not really exciting but agree with the rest

It looks like he may make the team so that makes him exciting imo but sure he does not have a flashy style.

Sure, but he’s a hockey player that plays the game and brings his game in the game.

I’m actually curious to see Gally 3.0

 

[Tyson]

No injuries please.

So no Michkov on the Flyers roster? That is disappointing.

 

[MtlSars]

I will be at the game, I'm not greedy just give me some Lane Hutson action please.

I think Danny Briere knows how crazy it can get in MTL. Some fans might boo him and some others will cheer him. Either way, they probably don't want the kid thinking he's that important that early.

Nah Danny literally carried his bags at the airport

It is incredibly early to suggest that it looks like he may make the team when there are 12 forward positions filled and he has not played a single game in NA. I have been maybe his most ardent supporter but I think that he is much more likely to go back to Europe and play under Jokinen.

I could see him making the team if an injury or two happens but I think that would likely be temporary and he would still end up back in Europe. We have Pezzetta as the 13th forward with RHP returning from injury later in the season with ABB, Beck, Gignac, Heineman, Farrell, Mesar, Tuch etc as potential call ups in case of further injuries. He has never lived away from home and playing for Timra will be a big adjustment for him and a learning experience that he can use when moving to Montreal next season.

plz hold up Dach

I wholeheartedly agree with your post.

And its pretty apparent that we will start with an already defined 13 forward group and 8 defenseman.

Otoh, Dvorak, Evans, Armia are on their last final year. Gallagher and Anderson will be buyable next summer. (Two years left) and Roy can still go to the AHL.

Although, its a reach to think he can make the team right now, nobody has a safe chair in this bottom six and for example, if management don't plan on re-signing Evans, he could be sacrificed for Kapanen in the case where the latter would force their hands.

plz hold up Dach

Id rather they expose him.

He will never reach his potential being held up and playing with fears.

I want to see a Laine hat-trick. Every game he needs to do hat-trick.

If Priyanta is correct than it will be team 1 tomorrow night.
