GDT: GAME 24: WINGS @ HABS | Back in the saddle? | Sat., Dec. 2nd, 2023, 7:00 PM ET -- CBC, TVAS, CITY, TSN690, 98.5FM

Insane that the Habs lead the league in goals from their defense core.

3rd for d in points. Was tied, I think they said with Detroit earlier.

 

[Habssince89]

The habs had chances when they got the puck off the wall and used the triangle high in the zone to draw defenders closer to the blueline, allowing space towards the net to open up. They can come back in this game, but they need to execute.

 

[Habs]

Just another 5 shot period

yeah but did you see how focused MSL was and the quality of those shots!!!!!

 

[zx81]

3 goalies, 3 D's
Our forwards can't score.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Can we get the Als to dress up in the Habs uniforms & just tackle the Red Wings every play?

Nah allen in nets would still be a touchback for 2

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Veleno goal is definitely on Monahan

It kind of is insane. But, for a while now we've known the strength of the organization is on the blue line. Matheson, Guhle, and Barron are highly capable of contributing offensively. Lindstrom's got skill. Kovacevic's shot is a pleasant surprise. That's been pretty insane. I look forward to seeing what Struble can contribute.

Im pretty sure the forwards are last in goals though

 

[Ezpz]

I don't believe that Hughes ever actually recieved some crazy offer for Anderson last year. I think he was trying to inflate his value in the media like he did with Chiarot and Lehkonen, but if he really did turn down a first then that is going to hurt for a long time. I remember it was rumoured New Jersey and NYI were offering a pick ~15 and I was begging Hughes to do it.

It's more likely there was a conditional first and a similar contract coming back to us or we had to add something significant. There's no team in the league that offers a first for a long term contract of a middle six player without anything else going back.

 

[HabSgt]

Nah allen in nets would still be a touchback for 2

"He has kicked the ball through HIS OWN GOALPOSTS!"

 

[26Mats]

Pearson was really bad defensively on a few clearing attempts and coverages. Then he gets a partial breakaway and misses the net.

Hopefully he can redeem himself in the next two periods.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

They're saving Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield until the last couple games of the season so we have something to talk about all summer

 

[Doc McKenna]

True as the only forwards with more goals are Suzuki, Caufield, Monahan and Newhook

and newhook is gone for 3 months so barron will catch him

 

[HabbyGuy]

Even the jumbotron wants to shit on this team.

I don't understand all the whining and complaining, this team sucks and is young. This should have been expected, losing Dach made it even more so, now with Newhook gone too longterm you all might as well just accept what is.

Try and just focus on Suzuki, Caufield Slaf and the young D and worry about that. Everything else doesn't really matter.

Rebuilds are tough to endure, but ultimately (hopefully) will be worth it.

 

[26Mats]

Just another 5 shot period

I think it was a good period offensively, except for all the missing the net. We had a lot of high danger chances.

The problem with the period was the defensive coverage and all the chances we gave up.

 

[Rapala]

Can anyone tell me when the last time we had a clean tic-tac-goal was? I'm drawing blanks.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Insane that the Habs lead the league in goals from their defense core.

That's like 30% of team goals, which is a lot.

 

[SlafySZN]

No idea

 

[HabSgt]

Gotta go take Arrexvy now, brb

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Gotta go take Arrexvy now, brb

To talk to your younger self ?

I already did. I told him to invest on bitcoin, so now I'm waiting to be rich

Rebuilds are hard.

It sucks bad because we paid a lot for those parts and dvorak as well. Hawks rebuild is done with 1 draft. We are still trying to fix the mess bergie left, and will be next season as well. This group doesn't need to compound the problem.

 

[McGees]

Oh Lord, the second period. Bonne chance mes braves!

Indeed because that is what the opposition is doing also.

 

[Tuggy]

Jake Allen should pull a Roy tonight on the anniversary.
