GDT: Game 12: Montreal Canadiens vs Pittsburgh Penguins 11/2/24 7:00pm EST CITY, SN, TVAS

Anderson gets promoted because he fought Wilson

Or because he actually tries to get the puck off players during board battles down low

 

[The Great Weal]

Why he’s still in the NHL is beyond me

Because he was great in the 1st preseason game. That's good enough to keep Roy in the AHL all year.

 

[zx81]

Well, this is the same game plan than against Washington. Can't wait for the self puke in the 3rd.

 

[vokiel]

They'll extend him after next season, he's RFA. I'll judge his play more next season once he gets a full off season and a year removed from his knee injury!

He's RFA in 2026-2027, no rush.

 

[OldCraig71]

he isn't playing with nick and cole

You just answered my post perfectly.

 

[Kimota]

Anderson gets promoted because he fought Wilson

I mean it's as good a reason as any.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I couldn't tell how many shots we had, the picture quality was so bad.

What are you people watching?? Sportsnet feed is fine.

 

[yianik]

Dvorak is skating harder today than I've seen him skate all year.

He's still not great, but I wonder if someone told him to pick it up or get waived.

Nah, he just realized it's his contract year, he thought he had an extra year.

 

[SlafySZN]

He's RFA in 2026-2027, no rush.

2025-2026, after next season.

Dude I'm watching Sportsnet.

I don’t want to say that was the ugliest period of hockey I’ve seen two teams play in a Habs game in a long time, because the Habs continue to lower the bar, but man that was tougher to watch than the group of morons that CBC throws on between periods.

 

[Canadienna]

I want the coaching staff to be careful with Hutson.

They're all getting blown out defensively and it seems like the staff is really preaching getting picks deep and simple hockey.

To my eyes, Lane has lacked a bit of the confidence offensively he had early on.

 

[pepperMonkey]

Is this logical? Xhekaj out against a team with 3 very tough players in Washington.

Xhekaj in against a soft as butter Pittsburgh team.

Makes sense

Makes sense in the sense that I'm thinking Marty does NOT want Xhekaj to be thinking about being the 'tough' guy and want him to think only about being a defenseman. Well, my guess in any case.

 

[Rapala]

Following a 16 shot performance in a blow-out loss to the Capitals, then a bag skate, Habs come out with a 5 shot first period.

Great road period we held them to 5 as well unfortunately well you saw it.
Lets see if this second period is spent in our end like usual.

 

[overlords]

I wouldn't feed Tim's pizza to my dog

 

[vokiel]

2025-2026, after next season.

Next season is 2025-2026 and he's under contract, that would be his contract year. He'll need to put a much more sustained effort than right now to get anything looking like a core contract.

 

[Kennedys]

I didn't pay anything but i still want my money back after this shitty 20 mins

 

[Skip Bayless]

honestly this is the most jump I've seen dvorak have in a while

He's not feeling enough heat. Nobody threatens his spot.

Why is Hutson improving defensively but Matheson can't

Believe it or not, he's better today than he was with Florida back in the day.

 

[HuGo Sham]

it's painful watching this team, but we're early in a rebuild. That's the bottom line.
There's too many shit vets on longterm contracts, the D is very, very young.
We don't have a no1 goalie and there's simply not enough talent in the top 6.
Those who watched Laval see some light...Tuch, Xhekaj, Beck, Roy, Mailloux...Dobes..fowler, hage, demidov...2, maybe 3 1st rounders this summer...
we will hit on some of these guys

 

[Kimota]

I miss Louis Jean but Elizabeth Rancourt est cute en crisse. Curves up to the sky. She is married but one day she will change her mind.

You have Jen to watch

KHL intermission mommy > Liz > Kenzie > rest

 

[Tyson]

Water is indeed wet.

Slaf isn't looking like he did the last 40 games of 23-24, something seems off with him.

80% of the team are worse than they were last season. I think the young guys have done a commendable job of working through the rebuild but it's starting to take it's toll on them. Losing is becoming acceptable.

 

[vokiel]

Xhekaj needs to see some ice time as a forward on the fourth line. He doesn't look like someone who can keep things simple as a dman. His mind is racing too much. Make him dish energy game after game, maybe that tunes him in the right direction once and for all.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Good to see that Slafy is learning respect and that the great Andy took his place, on the 1st line, that's what we need.

Also, we should play Matheson more, since he can do no wrong.
