GDT: Game #2 - Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins - Oct 10th 2024, 7:00 PM EST - TSN2, RDS - The Offseason Review Edition

[Boss Man Hughes]

Primeau getting hung out to dry by very poor defensive zone play.

He still needs to make a big save or 2.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

He reminds me of Frankie Bouillon

I wish there was a squint reaction

 

[Gustave]

at some point we will have the players to win, but will come out with a ton of losses. We just are not well coached. I don't think an Alain Vigneault team looks this lost for example with this group of young kids.

Vigneault sucked for the “spectacle”, but his X’s and 0’s was high tier.

A 45 year old Vigneault would be great for the second phase of this team.

 

[Hannibal]

I'd have to disagree, Barron hasn't been great but Xhekaj has been extremely unreliable during both games.

I dont agree.

 

[jj cale]

Keith Primeau in nets tonight

 

[LV426]

Habs need to go against the grain and play a decent 2nd period.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He finished off the season strong also with 8 goals in his last 9. Hopefully he’s picking up from where he left off last season.

It’s paramount for the rebuild for him to reach his full potential and become that elite goal scorer.

It’s all about health with him. If he’s healthy I think he’s a blue chip 40+ goal guy. But that shoulder is worrisome.

 

[CharleyHorse]

Not going to come in with hot takes but the first line has been horrible defensively

not so hot offensively either, 5on5-speaking. Play like Kirby, Slaf!

 

[Vachon23]

Defensive coverage still suck

 

[Schooner Guy]

These are not on Primo

Are some in here really blaming tonight's Bruins goals on Primeau? Geezaz there are a lot of clueless posters.

 

[Walksss]

I dont agree.

You just hate Barron but that's fine. He hasn't been that bad. The narratives on here are rarely ever changed, not worth even arguing about.

 

[EveryDay]

We suck on D....and Hutson is FAR from being the worst....

He's better than most out there but I must say that Savard help alot.

Guhle and Savard are the best right now in our own zone.

The forwards look like shit in our own zone and they're freaking bad right now on the faceoff.

 

[Gustave]

He reminds me of Frankie Bouillon

T’es saoul man.

 

[NORiculous]

I dont agree.

You think Xhekaj has been reliable?

The first one probably on him.

The second went bar down, where yesterday 6 or 7 of them went bar-out. Third was a high tip, tough to stop, but should've had it otherwise.

 

[The Real Timo]

Man to man is terrible. It seems like the player who retrieves the puck never has an easy option because players are randomly scattered everywhere.

That;s second guessing.

 

[zx81]

Every faceoff in our zone (won or lost) is a scoring chance against us

 

[morhilane]

And today we learn that the Leafs are total cream puff and it is actually very easy to reach the grease against the Habs D.
Some of them aren't even aware opposite players are doing it!

 

[The Real Timo]

Come on, St Louis... make a ballsy call and go back to Montanbo in the second.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

not so hot offensively either, 5on5-speaking. Play like Kirby, Slaf!

Kirby is crap.

 

[Kennerback]

I'd have to disagree, Barron hasn't been great but Xhekaj has been extremely unreliable during both games.

They both haven’t been great, but one of the two can fight and intimidate.

 

[EveryDay]

I'd have to disagree, Barron hasn't been great but Xhekaj has been extremely unreliable during both games.

I disagree Arber is doing fine, Barron is so tentative he doesn't know what to do most of the time.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Come on, St Louis... make a ballsy call and go back to Montanbo in the second.

Stop it man.

 

[OldCraig71]

We can blame Primeau but we played like this yesterday, we’re really bad in our zone

It's the man on man coverage, it's a crap strategy. We also collapse too low ala the Jacques Martin days.

 

[CharleyHorse]

Kirby is crap.

I guess Slaf is playing like Kirby then, My bad
