Went with a simple GDT. Im actually in Montreal to see this game live and did the GDT on a tablet.

Simple works!

Should be a tough game. I wasn't expecting much from Vegas this year. Though it seems like last years finish, was just a blip.

Vegas is off to a seriously fast start. They're 10-2-0, and are running away with the Pacific Division, which granted is a shit Division.

Eichel is playing really well, but he's tied with Suzuki in points and Suzi has played one less game.

Suzuki & Caufield!

I don't like our bottom 6. They've kind of been sucking. This will be a tough one.

Monty or Allen in net?

Allen is back down to his regular .908 save percentage, and is 3-4-0 in 7 games, while Montembeault has been playing extremely well. He's at .928 with a 2-1-1.

I would go with Montembeault, but we'll see what MSL decides.

There's certain teams the the Habs play where they just seem to lose no matter what . The wild are one of those teams for Montreal.

But for whatever reason, Vegas have had alot of problems with the habs since they were born. I wouldn't be surprised if vegas' worst all time winning percentage is against the Habs..... And they also lost that playoff to Montreal too.

Edit: so I decided to check the all time record:

5-2-1 habs in regular season.
4-2 habs on the playoffs.

I thought the Habs were a bit more dominant than that, but I should have accounted for how bad Montreal was against everyone last year

Thinking this will be a loss Vegas is playing too well right now

 

[Tyson]

Vegas has a great D. Their goaltending was suppose to be bad has actually been terrific.
Habs have a serious challenge on their hands for sure.

 

[MarioLeMoose]

Caufield comes out of his 2 game goal scoring drought with a hatty tonight

I would go with Montembeault, but we'll see what MSL decides.

About the goalies, Montembeault has faced lower offensive outputs and the shots are on average 4 feet farther away than when it's Allen. This either means MSL is careful when he picks the goalie to face a team (i.e. Monty is sheltered) or the team defense makes more efforts when Monty is in net.

Also, I was surprised to see team stats to go with Vegas 10-2 start, PP/PK% are around the Habs and while their forwards depth is scoring a bit more than the Habs, they seems mostly carried by Eichel/Theodore. Their goaltending is crazy thought. People keep saying Allen and Monty are overperforming but they aren't overperforming the way Vegas goalies are right now.

Vegas is just rolling.

Might get ugly for the Habs if they're not ready.

Thanks for the GDT donghabs98.

Yeah, I’m guilty of chirping Vegas goaltending when their #1 went down. I even suggested Allen be dangled, lol.

 

[Gustave]

Should be a loss. However, the Habs are strong opposition to any team so that's the positive. We are churning out some points we shouldn't but that's likely to fade out as the season gets tougher by december.

We might be in for a shit kicking here.....7-3 Vegas.

Cole, Slaf (on the PP), Dach

Suzuki with two apples.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Slaf sits this one I’m thinking otherwise it’s his last before sending him down I believe

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

A competitive lost tonight would be what's best for business. Don't want to go over .500 too early

After a long road trips teams coming home often time come out flat. Let's hope not.

 

[Nedved]

My favourite player to watch right now is Harris. He actually looks like a top 4 dman that can carry his pairing. I feel like we haven't had a dman like this since PK was traded and Markov leaving back to Russia. Fun to watch him develop at the nhl level. I know Weber was incredible, but puck moving d is the new nhl, so I left him out.

 

[OldCraig71]

I watched the Vegas-Ottawa game on Thursday, the Knights are a very big talented team, and the misfit line is especially dangerous. It will be a tough matchup unless the Knights spent last evening in some of Montreal's finer establishments.

Exactly!

Habs are playing for 0.500 with Suzuki and Caufield having 90 pts pace (closerto 100 for Suz). I think they will cool off a bit as the season progresses and once their scoring dries up, it's gonna become real bad.

We are going to finish bottom 3, not worried one bit.

 

[Tuggy]

Not surprised to see Kovacevic out. He had a real rough game against the Jets.

Who the hell are the misfits?

He's not going to be sent down.

 

[The Real Timo]

So negative. Drouin, Hoffman (from the pressbox) and Pitlick - all with a hat-trick.

 

[Vachon23]

I like the Harris-Edmundson pairing
