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

[Matthew McConaughay]

No he played last night

They didn't want him to get booed by the Habs fans

 

[WeThreeKings]

My first date with my now wife (and mother to my son); we ended up going to a Sports bar after the initial bar we went to and watched the Habs there.

They got shut out 3-0 by the Islanders, but totally worth it.

 

[Tyson]

Hoping Dobes plays well!

 

[SupRocket]

The performance of Xhekaj/Barron vs Engstrom/Mailloux will be interesting to monitor.

 

[Vachon23]

Damn I'm excited
More than other years obviously lol

I was more excited in 20-21 but hasn’t been as excited since

Can people please temper their expectations tonight? Dach and Laine haven’t played in a full year. They will likely play like shit and that’s okay.

At the same time m, they are playing against AHLer. I don’t expect them to be dominant since the veteran usually take the 1st week to remove rust but I expect them to have flash

As much as we would expect this level of maturity, we know there's gonna be an overreaction to the first mistake of the game.

It's never happened before! I am so annoyed. My dog is almost 12 years old, has had this yard for the last 6 years but she's pretty much blind now. I have caught her in the yard a few times now with skunks but she can hardly see at night so I was able to shoo her inside. Still, I go out with her now just to do a quick sweep and make sure it's safe. Last night we let her out and didn't go with her... She comes back inside and STINKS. She was in the house for 30 seconds and the entire house STINKS of skunk. Was able to get most of the smell off but she took the spray in the side of her head, right in the ear, and I can't properly clean the inside of her ear, so she still kind of stinks. Poor thing is just shaking and confused.

Meanwhile I can't shake this smell. It feels like it's everywhere. My hands stink from washing her and I can't get rid of it.

Yikes the dogs bolt for the indoors before you can react and 30 seconds will equal about 1 week of lingering odor.
There is no work around and no perfect remedy.

 

[HabSgt]

I need to know... if Habs lose tonight is it time to start panicking?

This implies we ever stopped panicking.

So Oliver Bonk, son of Habs alumni Radek Bonk, is playing tonight. He has already made me feel old so thanks alot kid.

Go Habs!

No chance

Maybe on the PP but this should be seen as a leisurely skate for both of them. They need to slowly find their legs and get used to the speed of the game again.

I'll be happy if both can skate freely the entire evening.
Like Marty always says 98% or more of the game is spent without the puck so being able to move is always good.

The Leafs full line-up lost to a mismash of Senators players last night.

The only guys we should be looking for are the young ones trying to make the team, these are the reps that matter.

Pro tip; Don't tell her you watch hockey until the 87th date.

That would be their wedding night. Are you sure that will work?

 

[Redux91]

I was more excited in 20-21 but hasn’t been as excited since

What was so exciting about the start of the 20-21 Season..?

 

[Habs Icing]

Bring her to your place to watch the game. If she isn't interested in watching the game she's probably not the one.

What if she's interested in playing mommy and daddy?

LOL and how many games did it take for W3K to score despite being a goaltender.
I mean it's obvious you did score...

Huston. We have a problem!

Let’s see if Dobes can knock the Bell Centre posts off!

Go Habs!

And he is a legit prospect.

3 dates in, I'm a gentleman after all.

 

[Vachon23]

We had a good team, just acquired Anderson/Toffili/Edmunsson

 

[Treb]

Delsuarieres would be welcome on our bottom lines again, quite enjoyed his short stint here.

I'd take Deslauriers in a second.

Old and play has taken a drop last year.

Maybe if he was paid a million less.

 

[Rapala]

And he is a legit prospect.

I thought he played really well in the post season.
