GDT: GAME 16: FLAMES @ HABS | Flame-broiled imbroglio | Tues., Nov. 14th, 2023, 7PM -- TSN2, SnW, RDS, TSN690, 98.5FM

[The Real Timo]

A Runner classic!

Love it.

Don't have a good feeling about tonight. Also, won't be watching live. Have "commitments" to beverages and hopefully some decent looking talent at the pub.

Can't say I agree with Pez being out. He's been decent. Not sure what Ylonen brings other than fast skating that, just like Anderson's, doesn't translate into anything.

Caufield goal tonight!

Maybe even 5 on 5... wouldn't that be something.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

The Calgary Flames in town on a Tuesday night!! Any player who isn't charged up for this one better check his pulse...

Am I right?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Can the habs beat someone in regulation for once?

 

[SlafySZN]

Maybe even 5 on 5... wouldn't that be something.

Would be something if anyone would do something 5 on 5 to be honest.

They’re not scoring much 5 on 5, period!

I heard a good point earlier about a difference between Monty and Allen.
Monty gave up a goal very early against Boston but it did not rattle him in any way whereas Allen usually does not do well if he gives up an early goal...hmm.

 

[Habs]

Remember in the Canuck gdt someone said the nucks were weak and overachievers, we would walk over them? Get ready for another pounding tonight (that’s what she said )

Losing to Calgary this year is like losing to San Jose. Vancouver been much better

 

[NotProkofievian]

Can we get a Slafgoalsky tonight?

Big difference is that the Canucks are clearly a better team than the Habs and Calgary is not.
I expect the Habs to win with Monty having a great game.

Canucks play a similar level of hockey 5v5 then the Habs but have high puck luck to start the year. That’s what I saw on Sunday (50/50 game where Nucks had all the bounces)

I bet they lose , the flames are fighting for jobs.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Did you all meet at the GDT/PGT office to discuss this, or was it one of those video conference type of meetings?

Promise letters we had to sign or we get booted.

Can we get a Slafgoalsky tonight?

Someone should send him the waze coordinates for the goal.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Can we get a Slafgoalsky tonight?

No, we cannot unfortunately.

 

[NotProkofievian]

No, we cannot unfortunately.

That’s how Matheson sees the game in his own end.

Habs coming off a 5-2 loss to the Canucks on Sunday in a game where the score did not exactly tell the tale.

Good effort by the team, considering they were on the 2nd leg of a B2B.

Putting a nice balm on the past weekend is how they beat their hated rival (and their expletively-inspired fanbase), the Booins -- which was not too bad of a weekend all things considered.

Taking a peek into the future, what's in store for this team?

According to AI, the Habs could end up looking like this:

Their opposition tonight, could have this look:

And these players and uniforms might be involved ...

Who the hell are these stand-ins, anyway?

The Flames in town also means that their circus implicating Jonathan Huberdeau will be front and center as a low hanging fruit imbroglio to be gobbled up by local media.

One doesn't need to search too far to know what the issue is.

You can get a fat cat out of Florida but you can't ...

Of course, it didn't take long for local fans, social media and click bait sites to cobble up trade scenarios involving the guy who had to sell his 4 Ferraris for a utility vehicle.

Like this one ...

Would you do this? Let's find out by taking this thread’s poll.

As far as tonight's game is concerned, MSL has announced that Monty will get the start and that Jesse Ylönen and Gustav Lindström draw in while Pezz and Harris will be eating hotdogs.

Of note, the Habs PP has continued to get better, with a 23% success ratio so far, good enough for the top 10th spot in the league. They've scored a PP goal in 11 of their last 12 games.

The problem has been how the Habs have drawn the second most penalties in the league, which have led to most of Marty's epic face-palming moments.

That ought to make for a great holiday ornament, come to think of it.

Finally, the Habs will honor their 25th captain Pierre Turgeon tonight, further to his induction in the NHL HOF. Congrats to him.


LINEUPS TBA

Thanks Runner!
