Habs are improving. Last 2 games have been close. They need to gain some confidence. Hopefully with Condotta centering the 4th they play a good balanced game rolling 4 lines. Keep it close, play solid defensively. I would keep Xhekaj and Struble in. Go Habs Go!!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Well, Allen should start this bringing him that much closer to 40.

Still too far

 

[HabsCode]

Didn't know Curtis Lazar was still in the NHL. I was actually hyped about this prospect in his draft year.

Anyway, still hoping for a win there (after all, we are still only 3 points away from a wildcard spot). But have to be realistic here, Devils has a good group of players. Hopefully we capitalize on the weaknesses of Allen (known by most of our players).

 

[Habs]

man Kovy has been really good this year, no doubt we could have used him. Devils are a pretty good sized/skilled team, I think they mop the floor with us.

Allen started the last game against the Oilers so Markstrom will most likely start against the Canadiens

Oh you think he will pass up a chance to stick it to the Habs? I don't take him to the vindictive time, I just think that's how it works.

 

[Walrus26]

Do some sodding shooting drills ahead of this one, please.

Yes, that means you Newhook & Guhle - you're first up.

 

[Hannibal]

Are we gonna win again?

I’m kinda back in the tank team.

Fist rule about Tank team: 1- We’re not allowed to talk about Tank Team

Thou shall not pronounce those words in 2024-2025.

Thou shall keep cheering for wins, and hate losses.

Thou shall keep faith in the battle for "the mix".

Thou shall be, a true "fefan"

I think we're getting stomped in this one with a lopsided loss. Something like 5-1.

Totally getting stomped. Devils are better than the Caps, Pens, Flames and Krakens...

Yeah He's a great energy guy that does everything you could wish out of 4th liner and is always willing to block a shot. He adopted Luke hughes as his son and him and Hamilton are a comedy duo. Sadly he suffered a broken foot injury so is out for awhile.


Can the Hab's not play Jackeye so the Devils don't have to have MacDermid play? please?

 

[BigHabs]

I would like to see a shake up to the lineup a bit to get a possible spark.

Caufield Suzuki Slafkovsky
Heineman Dach Anderson
Newhook Dvorak Gallagher
Pezzetta Evans Armia

Hutson Guhle
Matheson Struble
Xhekaj Savard

 

[Monsieur Miz]

4-0 New Jersey!

There's many things I would like to see, at least as experiment at this point....
Would still like to split Suzuki and Caufield and try to balance the lines.

When paired, these 2 are the defacto top line, but if they on different line, it's harder to cover both our best forward at the same time.

Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Newhook
Anderson - Dach - Caufield
Armia - Evans - Gallagher
Heineman - Dvorak - RHP

They aren't better than Washington. Probably similar level.

 

[Tuggy]

Habs will do what last place teams do, and that is lose.

Almost in the league's basement.

 

[zzoo]

Our record will be 4-8-2. Four wins in 14 games.

And you know what, normally the games in the early season are easier to win than the games in late season. Reaching Feb and March, games become tougher. If we struggle now, then it will be worse in Feb and March.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Devils are a solid team. I think we lose this one ugly.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Someone Kreiderize Markstrom

I kid, i kid

 

[knuck]

I'm not pro tank this year but im also not feeling like watching the train wreck. I guess I'm just blasé at this point

I might be "off" again soon
