GDT: Game 18: Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins 11/18/23: 7:00pm EST CBC, SN, TVAS

Somebody get this guy a KFC gif.

 

[Capitano]

So. Caufield. Is it time to get worried? I am less confirmed about his lack of score, more so about his lack of intensity. He coasts way too much for a little guy.

If he isn't scoring he isn't a factor AT ALL right now.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'm here for it, as long as Slaf and the young D continue to show some growth.

Let’s just say we’re not making the playoffs this year…

Newhook isn't the right linemate for CC and Suzy against a big team like the Bruins, if at all. Too easy to close down on them along the wall.

Boston pressures the puck all over the ice in numbers, positioning is solid, and they support the puck well. Hate giving them any props, but it's polar opposite to how the Habs's look, which is generally a 5 man unit that is spaced too far apart and offers very little support or options to the puck carrier.

I think we've seen MSL's system be executed well in spurts this year, but that's definitely what happens when the team is off.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Knew I could count on you man

 

[morhilane]

As far as I am concerned Habs can get rid of all their goalies. They will lose just as many games. ANY of these 3 guys is so easily replaceable. None of these 3 guys will EVER be relied on to carry the team through the playoffs. So if Habs get offered ANYTHING decent for either of them do it.

They still need to have 3 goalies with NHL contracts and one of them should be in the AHL already because Dobes isn't even ready for the AHL.

It's all good, I've got the patience, we all wanted a rebuild, this is what it looks like.

You mean "concepts"?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

With any luck we win the lottery this year…

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Slaf goal on a tank night is pretty awesome lets go !

 

[Don D]

He needs a reset, the kid is way too into his head at this point.

He also need two big talented players beside him to open space for him, something the team doesn't have.

Shades of pre MSL when he was sent to AHL in 2021-2022 season.

 

[Tyson]

It's all good, I've got the patience, we all wanted a rebuild, this is what it looks like.

Progress needs to start being a bit more evident though.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Yes please.

 

[River Meadow]

If he isn't scoring he isn't a factor AT ALL right now.

Caufield ain't much taller than Danny Devito.

There's not much he can do if he ain't scoring...

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Caufield looks lost its a dam shame , great player still but not a first line play driver like some of our fans like to parade him as

 

[nyhabsfan]

Besides Ghule has any other young Dman actually progressed.?
Still too much crap on this team.
Gallagher
Dvorak
Anderson
Evans
To start

 

[River Meadow]

With any luck we win the lottery this year…

And with our luck,

By the time draft rolls around there is no more clear cut #1.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Progress needs to start being a bit more evident though.

There's flashes, up and downs, I ain't overly concerned. Yet.

 

[The Great Weal]

With any luck we win the lottery this year…

Gary is not done rewarding the Hawks for their scandal. I'm sure we will get the #1 in a year where the #1 goes #5-7 most years though.

 

[red devil]

Bruins are winning 82% of puck battles that insane

 

[sampollock]

PREACH Bieksa!
I was great, he mentioned that.

 

[Habssince89]

as this is a development/tank year we need to just win this period IMO.

 

[Gravity]

Bruins are winning 82% of puck battles that insane

I'm still surprised we managed to win 18%.

 

[sampollock]

Some players need to turn the corner. And some need you just turn the corner and never come back
