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

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Brunet calling fatigue, bro it's the 4th period of the freaking season.

 

[Habano]

I dont agree.

Me neither. X has been way better than Barron. You have X haters here that will never give him credit.

 

[Adriatic]

Big bad bruins. They remind me a little of the 2000's bruins. Big and slow. Top to bottom they have a much better roster, not surprising they are stronger. They're defense is really good though, probably best in the league. People should stop losing their minds.

 

[durojean]

Kirby is crap.

He definitively does not have the spark he had at the start of last year

Brunet calling fatigue, bro it's the 4th period of the freaking season.

And half the team has barely played in the preseason

 

[Hacketts]

It’s a backup goalie against a strong physical team. People need to cut him some slack. He played really well for us last year.

No, this is the NHL.

He's a very inconsistent goalie, and you never know what version of himself is going to show up.

 

[NORiculous]

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

Sure but it’s Struble vs. Xhekaj because Barron plays on the right side. If Xhekaj wasn’t tough and intimidating… would he be with the team?

 

[OnTheRun]

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

When was the last time a Habs goalie wasn't blamed for failing to bail out the team defense?

 

[Unclewhalebone]

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

It seems like the D never know where to expect a forward to be for the outlet. It is random chips and rims and never a forward ready for it.

 

[Deebs]

Me neither. X has been way better than Barron. You have X haters here that will never give him credit.

He's been bad, just like last year. He has two years to figure it out.

 

[Schooner Guy]

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.

You're a great and valued poster but not sure that you're the resident expert on goaltending in here given your off the mark evaluations of Monty since he arrived. Any other topic you're golden though.

 

[HabbyGuy]

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

Actually Marty was saying last night they're trying to get away from the man to man thing and play more of a zone D hybrid, clearly it's still a work in process.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

No, this is the NHL.

He's a very inconsistent goalie, and you never know what version of himself is going to show up.

That blueline is brutal. You can’t expect your backup to do with at Montie did last night in a regular basis. You can’t just blame the goalie for everything.

 

[Habano]

Better than Barron.

You don’t have to blame him for everything to admit that Primeau is not a very good goalie

 

[EveryDay]

Sure but it’s Struble vs. Xhekaj because Barron plays on the right side. If Xhekaj wasn’t tough and intimidating… would he be with the team?

Yeah but Lindstrom might be coming for him and in the last practice, the 3rd pairing was Xhekaj-Struble.

Still don't think Kent is eyeing him as the starter going forward in the rebuild, I'm sure he's keeping an eye out on the goaltending market.

It seems like the D never know where to expect a forward to be for the outlet. It is random chips and rims and never a forward ready for it.

Too much running around once someone misses an assignment and that leads to increased zone time and exhausted defenders. It happened multiple times against the Leafs last night.

 

[Kimota]

That this org. still gave a chance to Primeau, it's their faults.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Hugo needs to pull a Gauthier and send Anderson to AHL mid game

 

[zx81]

Actually Marty was saying last night they're trying to get away from the man to man thing and play more of a zone D hybrid, clearly it's still a work in process.

Yeah the hybrid zone D aka the headless chicken system.

 

[Rapala]

Dach's line having a tough time with zone coverage. We an't win games

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

Jesus Murphy none of our D look good in our zone.
Our forwards are doing Jack shit to help them either if we are being fair.
The f***ing passiveness makes me puke we go into our PK shell 5v5.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Better than Barron.

That sounds like a cool band name

 

[the valiant effort]

Finally a new series from the “brains” behind Big Bang Theory and other similar shit

Didn't look like it in the first. So much scrambling around.
