REMINDER: THERE IS TO BE NO TANK TALK IN GDT.

The GDT is a place to discuss the game, piss on the refs, cheer for our team & make fun of Buffalo. It is NOT to cheer losses. If you wish to do that, there is now a tank thread for that.

Warnings or thread bans may occur if you use this thread to cheer for a Canadiens loss.

Go Habs!!



Some new line combos this morning at practice

Just stupid. What on earth is that first line. Three guys that will always look to pass no matter what situation they are in. Putting a top goal scorer with Jake Evans who can’t pass. And what is the obsession with the 3rd line. Just promote Gallagher to spark the top 6.
Nothing is working so put them in a blender.

Just look at the lines - who else do you have together lol?

Are you under the impression there is a wealth of options?

Probably another bad loss. Lucky to win 20 this year. The team has as much structure as a road hockey game.

It's detrimental to my health watching these games.
Hey my road hockey teams had far more structure than that.

A day game in Buffalo

I don't know why MSL thinks that putting our best goal scorer with a defense first center will help the team but I didn't coach peewee so what do I know.:laugh:

Is your brilliant idea to play him with Dvorak then?

Not using Dach or Newhook for 2nd line center is just... ????

This is what happens when teams go into this kind of a spiral. You start seeing weird stuff like this.
Lol why would anyone play Newhook at centre? Dach is also garbo at centre.

Agreed but to me the Matheson thing is also on mgmt. It reminds me of SJS trading for Karlsson while having Burns. If Hutson was to make the team, they should have a) traded Matheson understanding there would not be enough possession time for both to play on their strength or b) make sure your game plan would be to be so agressive on the forecheck that they would always have the puck

It feels like this year hanging on Barron while also having Mailloux (and initially Reinbacher) to develop on RD was maybe shrewd from an asset management point of view but bad for the team on ice and the coaching staff.

At this point trade one of them.

I wouldn’t put three players together that look to pass the puck when they are on a breakaway. I wouldn’t put Evans as the 2C when Newhook is right there. These are pretty basic things.

Sorry bud but you can’t say things are basic when your solution involves Newhook as 2C (just terrible) with no legitimate other winger to play at wing in his stead.

Wonder which Primeau we'll see today.

6 losses in a row...they'll win eventually. Today feels like it could be the day

Looking at that roster, is that really what we have ever since our rebuilt started 3 years ago?

Being federally regulated, but don't get the day off.

That's fine, I'm less pissed being at work than watching the Habs anyways.

Be home by a little after 2, so if they're actually playing like a team I can tune in for the 3rd

I might, since I'm working-from-homes and I can keep the game in another monitor. But at the same time, do I want to watch this?
Yeah , I could watch it at work but I'd rather work than watch , crazy

Newhook was at his best at the end of last year, as a centre. He’s better than f***ing Jake Evans, "bud"

Stat holiday here in NB.

I'm glad to finally see Suzuki and Caufield separated. Need to try something different.
