GDT: Game 22: Jets @ Habs | In the hunt | Thurs. Mar. 4th, 7 PM ET -- TSN2, RDS, TSN3

Reverse retros symbolize the reverse of expectations, meaning the Habs win. Book it.

If Montreal can win these two games against the Jets in regulation, they will move ahead of them in the standings.

Winnipeg has 29 pts in 22 GP
Montreal has 25 pts in 21 GP

So if Habs win them in regulation, they'll go to 29 pts, tying the Jets, but having that one game in hand will push them ahead of them in the standings.

How so ? If Habs win tonight in regulation, they gonna have 27.... And if they beat them again Saturday, then they will be at 29 with still one game in hand.

Have they won a single game with the Blue jersey on ? I don't think so.

+1 L for tonight

The reverse retros are giving the barbershop jerseys a run for their money for the title of cursed ugly jerseys

What in the world is going on with Habs personnel?

Last week, there was this:

This week, in a most bizarre, Cammaleriesque move, Habs goalie coach got knifed:

It has started to feel like this:

Which begs the question ... who's next?

When it rains in your kitchen ... or whatever that saying is -- is what has been happening since the first 10 games of the season.

This is what happens when you get this type of offensive production:

Danault in particular, just notched an unenviable milestone. His last regular season goal occurred on Feb. 29, 2020. And here he is treading dangerously into Scott Gomez territory.

Some are ascribing Danault's woes as mental, further to a contract extension gone awry where he is rumored to have been offered a 6 X 5 deal that he declined on account of demanding a higher salary. And now, that kind of offer is all but impossible given his longstanding struggles.

It seems to have definitely seeped into all aspects of his play ...

Of course, leave it to the Habs to create more drama.

With Carey Price struggling and Waite getting fired in an unusual manner, conspiracy theories have emerged whereby Price is viewed as the ultimate kingmaker, some believing he may have been behind so many from the Habs personnel losing their jobs over his 14-year career.

This was not alleviated by those awkward pressers yesterday by MB and Price -- the latter apparently wasn't consulted, nor notified in advance of Waite's termination.

It even prompted one poster to assert:

LINEUPS TBA


However, there is some good news on the horizon. Coach Dom has finally notched his first win, albeit against a team that had played 4 games in 6 days -- and given that, it was closer than it needed to be.

It's not much, but it's a start. We'll be happy that it won't be a return to this guy's antics.

GHG.

Great job as usual @Runner77 . That last picture of toothless Therrien gets me every time

 

[nhlfan9191]

True.

But today, Carey practiced for a second day in a row with his white pads. And for some effed up reason, I feel more confident with Carey wearing the white pads than I do the red ones.

Are those really white tho? They have some white in them but they’re still way to loud. He needs to get somewhere closer to this:

Not this:

 

[Redux91]

Yeah, the constant switching is counterproductive.

They went from having a completely unreliable back up situation, to pretty much bubble wrapping their 10.5M goalie.

And congrats on your new 4 year 32 million dollar contract! i cant believe skip gets paid as much as taylor f***ing hall lmao, wow

That is EXACTLY what I said. If they beat them in regulation tonight and Saturday, they will move ahead of the Jets. They would be even in points, but Habs having 1 game in hand would put them ahead of Winnipeg.

I know, I call them the white ones only because they're not the red ones. A way to tell them apart. Much easier than saying the white one with blue and red on them.

 

[Runner77]

The ones with Dann0 24 are flying off the shelf like you wouldn’t believe.

I went with the one "N" version since the letter only appears once in his name.

If the Dan0 ones fly off the shelves, they will have the DanOT ones they can fall back on.

 

[Redux91]

People whining about what type of jerseys they wear as if it actually affects gameplay and the outcome on the ice is just...I mean there are no words lol

Auto-loss because its a new jersey...? I mean people cannot be serious with this..
Sure theyve "never won" yet with these new jerseys, but uh...its a coincidence fellas.. Teams lose games all the time, and in this particular case they coincided their loss with a night they wore a new blue jersey ....there are not "greater forces" at work against us here...come on now..

I mean sit back for a second and just please imagine, what type of imaginary being in some place in the universe is going "ok, the blue jerseys are being worn, i shall make it so that they lose, because i am so and so type of god and blah blah" like..really with this?

So regardless of the lineup combos or goalies... they are wearing these retro jerseys? They're done. It's a guaranteed loss.

Im embarassed for you lol

Pronounced the same in French.

That's what the curse wants you to think, so the reverse retro means reverse, reverse outcome to what we expect.

So, that for sure loss, that's now a for sure win is actually a for sure loss.

 

[Gravity]

If Montreal can win these two games against the Jets in regulation, they will move ahead of them in the standings.

Winnipeg has 29 pts in 22 GP
Montreal has 25 pts in 21 GP

So if Habs win them in regulation, they'll go to 29 pts, tying the Jets, but having that one game in hand will push them ahead of them in the standings.

How? If the Habs win they'd go to 27 pts, no?

 

[Adam Michaels]

How? If the Habs win they'd go to 27 pts, no?

My post clearly says if they win both games against the Jets in regulation tonight and Saturday, they'd be tied in points with Habs having a game in hand, hence why Habs would move ahead of Winnipeg in the standings.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

that Michou gif is the stuff of nightmares

 

[The Real Timo]

Pronounced the same in French.

Argh... something happened to my computer... can't see any imbedded images. Sigh... I bet it's because work decided to make it more secure.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Wish we'd retire the No Finish line. I like all of those players individually, but I feel its been emphatically proven they don't work as a line. I'm almost worried they will score as it could keep them together longer, but I know that once Andy is back at least one winger will be moved off KK's line.

[HelloBellyvo]

Nice response, nothing really to add then? A confident Price is the only way this team moves forward, so why sit him after a win? It is not a back-to-back , he isn't injured or fatigued. If he is fatigued, then book early retirement, because he hasn't played that much the last two weeks.

After a loss? Sure, sit him. After a win? Makes no sense.

Your replies always seem to appear in the negative.same old, same old....ergo my reply

 

[Kachino]

And congrats on your new 4 year 32 million dollar contract! i cant believe skip gets paid as much as taylor f***ing hall lmao, wow

ESPN worked super hard to have him back ...

 

[HelloBellyvo]

True.

But today, Carey practiced for a second day in a row with his white pads. And for some effed up reason, I feel more confident with Carey wearing the white pads than I do the red ones.

What's the difference between white and red? R u superstitious?

 

[OldCraig71]

Is this the night that Phil scores?

1. You seem hot tonight? Everything OK?
