GDT: Game 15: Vancouver Canucks vs Montreal Canadiens 11/12/23 7:00pm EST RDS, TSN2, TSN 690

[HabSgt]

Can't believe we are losing to Judy Garland & her friends

5 goal third period incoming!

For which team though?

 

[OldCraig71]

Anderson must be impossible to play with. Newhook and Suzuki are routinely open and he does nothing with the puck.

In all fairness, Newhook is looking a lot like Anderson, a ton of skating without much happening.

 

[Andy]

Slaf is showing how he impacts the ice his reach and size let's him carry the puck with power, draw defenders and make smart passes. He's becoming very noticeable for all the right reasons. Would love to see him pot one tonight.

The team is up against it for the third but you never know. Feel like the NHL might game manage in our favour

Yup.

 

[The Great Weal]

Man that Bedard goal and the cocky celly. He should be ours

 

[Max2]

They were?

I creeped them online

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Just atrocious. Like really... why did Habs get him? Hughes is never going to get Habs past the middle of the pack medioctiry... we just need to wait another 5-7 years before everyone realizes that. Next thing you know another decade is gone.

We wanted to get rid of Petry due to the wifey
Did you think Pittsburgh was gonna give us a top 3 def for old man Petry

 

[Habano]

Slaf will never get a point while on a line with Caufield. Any goal will probably be offside

 

[The Great Weal]

I creeped them online

I seem to recall many of them saying he's an okayish backup and how if they played instead of Jarry down the stretch they would have made the playoffs last year.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yep. Because who needs decent goalies. Or skilled forwards...

NO. Because Habs had too many goalies and he was the only movable one. Allen makes too much.

 

[LesCanadiens]

Man, Slaf is getting there. What a great game. All over the ice.

Patience people, patience.

Most encouraging thing I see is he's proving not only doesn't he have low IQ, he actually has high IQ. Add to that the size, skating and passing ability, their is some real potential there...needs to work on his release, though. He's really starting to make himself at home as a net presence too.

 

[Runner77]

Vancouver is tough to play against, certainly improved over what I remember. Is this over my friends? Should I turn this off or should I continue watching?

You know what would happen if you were to announce that you were turning this off (and presumably calling it a night) ?

I read different

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Guhle could have picked up Allen's stick & given it to him. Maybe he didn't realize it was Allen's?

Marty Biron calling Slaf best hab forward tonight

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Reminder that Jarry shat the bed against Chicago last season and Pittsburgh didn't make the playoffs because of that and our Florida pick went from lottery to Newhook.

Maybe he doesn't like Allen...

Yup. He sees the ice very well. He's adjusting to the pace of the game and is getting better on the aggregate. He WILL have bad games here and there, but he's been trending in the right direction.

We really just need to wait. The skill and potential is so obviously there.

 

[jj cale]

He's a project, learning the speed of the game. Tonight he's flashing great skill and using his size and reach to create space. It's going to come.

His style of play takes time to cultivate.

It would help tremendously if he found his effective skating stride...........that would make things a lot easier and what I am waiting to emerge ( or develop) with him next.

 

[OldCraig71]

You would be the ring leader in getting the notifications started, wouldn't you?

 

[Andy]

Marty Biron calling Slaf best hab forward tonight

It's not even close.

 

[Runner77]

You would be the ring leader in getting the notifications started, wouldn't you?

Why in the world would I do that?

 

[sheed36]

I knew it was the dude's fault with the bright green jacket on and sticking out like a million watt bulb in the stands for that 2nd goal when Allen lost his stick. Allen turned around looking for his stick and looked right at million watt bulb green jacket guy and he got blinded.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

There is going to be ups and downs with Slaf but its clearly time to at least let him be on first PP unit instead of Donkey

 

[Rapala]

In all fairness, Newhook is looking a lot like Anderson, a ton of skating without much happening.

I thought he was a better playmaker than that. Suzuki has little hope with players who when they do get him the puck are far too late. Nick is playing chess those two wingers are playing checkers. It's a very bad fit.
