GDT: Game 2 ECQF: Rangers @ Habs | Part II

[Kudo Shinichi]

fuuu im way too nervous

 

[CauZuki]

Galchenyuk should get a chance on the top line, at least to start things off. He's been clutch all year in OT and has been clutch in OT in the playoffs in the past.

I think this is our ideal lineup right now :

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Byron - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lekhonen - Danault - Shaw
King - OTT - Martinsen

 

[Uncle Gary]

Weber is fantastic

 

[Forum93]

You know you're in deep trouble when you have to hope that Plekanec is going to score...

And.. there you go. Thought they were toast , please win this or they will be toast for sure.

 

[hototogisu]

I feel that I had something to do with Pleky's goal..

I turned my tv off with 40 seconds left..lol

No OT for you then.

seconds before that goal, rangers dman broke his stick on whichever forward was in front. the zebras are a ****ing joke. rangers d-zone strategy: lundqvist and his crazy rebounds helped by crosscheck, tackles whatever it takes, in slot

It allowed Plekanec to score as Holden had no stick and couldn't tie him up

 

[Skip Bayless]

Julien did his best to make us lose. That Galchenyuk usage was an insult to coaching.

But hey, he is a liabilaty out there. Yeah right. That's how you give your players more confidence....by showing them how a liability you are....

I think it's the other way around, Galchenyuk earned his ice time tonight. He was on a mission since the beginning of the game, that's what Julien wants out of him on a nightly basis.

 

[donghabs98]

That Weber play 6 on 5 was game saver

He straight up sent him to the ice

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Play Plecks with Radulov and Pax. Get Danault off that line

I actually agree with this. Pleks can win face-offs, so it gets those guys possession in the offensive zone.

Pleks is playing great.

 

[Tuggy]

Habs need to end this quick. All the momentum.

 

[varsaku]

Yeah, they were showing the replay... so instrumental in making that happen.

Maybe CJ sees him as a person who needs that kind of a push to do better.

 

[David Suzuki]

so who's scoring the winner?

Galchenuk and Miller

 

[Chili]

Just feeling that the momentum was finally turning the Habs way with the Rangers on the run

1-1 or 0-2 is such a big difference in a series.

Go Habs!

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Son of a ***** guys LOL, good game thus far. Whenever Staal-Holden out there just prematurely celebrate a win

 

[TT1]

Gallagher in OT.

 

[jaffy27]

I feel that I had something to do with Pleky's goal..

I turned my tv off with 40 seconds left..lol

No more game for you No More Subban

 

[Skip Bayless]

Weber is fantastic

He's been a rock, but the D scares me, Emelin is the stabilizer.

 

[groovejuice]

Every time Galchenyuk is out with Max and Radulov something happens, its pretty clear that the line should be reunited

We need a second line.

Lehkonen-Galchenyuk-Radulov
Pacioretty-Danault-Shaw
Byron-Plekanec-Gallagher
Ott-Mitchell-McCarron/Martinsen

Ice time as deserved for all lines.

 

[habsnacks]

Habs need to end this quick. All the momentum.

like i said, im calling a goal within the first 3 minutes. mark it!

 

[No More Subban]

I want King or Shaw to win it in OT just to shut up the haters.

Beaulieu wouldnt be a bad choice too. He needs to make up for his -3

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I think it's the other way around, Galchenyuk earned his ice time tonight. He was on a mission since the beginning of the game, that's what Julien wants out of him on a nightly basis.

Yeah, way to go CJ. All it took was us for to get shutout in game one...

 

[David Suzuki]

OT is six minutes away for anyone else taking a ****

 

[RandR]

Julien did his best to make us lose. That Galchenyuk usage was an insult to coaching.

Even experienced people can make mistakes; hopefully the Habs can salvage a win and Julien is man enough to learn from this mistake and stop trying to send a message. Against a team as equal to the Habs as the Rangers are, he can't afford to give them a significant advantage in the series. Send a message early in the season next year in games that don't matter, not in a tight playoff series where failure ends the entire season.

Exactly...He EARNED his icetime tonight, he forced the coaches hand

 

[Deebs]

Would love to see either Max or Radu score to get them going
