GDT: GAME 28: PREDS @ HABS | Gladiator enters the ring | Sun., Dec. 10th, 2023, 7:00 PM ET -- RDS, TSN2, TSN690, 98.5FM

I miss Dach...................man what a shame losing him for an entire season.

Think of the positives though. He would only make the team be higher up in the standings and detrimentally affecting the draft position. If you want a great draft pick,the lower in the standings the better.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

He should right,he's apparently on fire.

He's playing well lately, points will come soon.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Hear me out....Joel Armia for Mike McCarron!

Bring him home boys. Big mac baby

Lfg

 

[Tyson]

When Savard comes back what RD sits? It's easy to say Lindstrom will sit but I am not sure. Barron has really struggled on the D side.

 

[Rapala]

Would love to see the Suzuki line break out

Monty better play this one.

If Pearson is gone, let's try promoting ylonen (finally)

They could easily have scored 2 or even 3 more goals if they weren't so snake bit. Suzuki has been shooting more but he has to do it when he gets those prime opportunities. The goaltenders must all be thinking pass first as he tries to get Cole and Slaf scoring goals. Bottom line for me is that the line scores. I don't care who or how D man or forward. If they are doing it regularly the wealth will get spread out.

Yes he has improved incrementally,that's what matters most.

Barron was really banged up last game. I wouldn't count him out from being on the injury list on Wednesday when Savard comes back.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'd give a 3rd for him.

He's not worth it, but just to see him hit someone and maybe beat someone up before I got bored of him would be great.

 

[The Real Timo]

Habs were in Buffalo for the lone away game last night and it was quite the spectacular outcome with Juraj Slafkovsky scoring the shootout winner.

Slaf not only was used for the first time in shootouts, but also had the first fighting major of his career.

What was particular about his winning goal was how he celebrated it.

Slaf has been raising his game several notches of late, which has not gone unnoticed by MSL. Not only has he been deployed on the first line but we have seen his TOI improve from 13:33 five games ago to last night's 18:10.

Also noteworthy, were Optimus Primeau's career high 46 saves, in what was a most welcome bounce back performance.

Nicely done, Slaf and Cayden.

Not so lucky was Cole Caufield who was kept off the scoresheet, despite unleashing 9 shots on goal.

However, there was another bright moment when the Greek God, Jayden Struble, scored the first NHL goal on a Kovacevic pass that he quickly redirected.

Maybe this win uplifts them for tonight's game. Both teams will be playing their second games of a back to back.


LINEUPS TBA

Kinda disappointed in the GDT today, Runner. No babes. No ScarJo. A total let down. Second day in a row... is that why?

Definitely can't watch tonight. Driving kids, family dinner... all the annoying things that get in a way of watching Habs epic push for da playoffs. Sigh.

I don't have a good feeling.

Can't watch

Don’t you ever sleep?

Lol... I bet he has them pre-made.

 

[The Great Weal]

So I guess Pezz is in for Pearson. I would rather have Pezz anyways, Pearsons done nothing since the start of the year.

 

[lakai17]

Barron is healthy and good to go after that hit?

 

[The Real Timo]

Regardless of the hit, Barron needs to sit. He's been absolutely brutal for a while now. If anyone needs to sit it's him.

Last night could have definitely used Pezz and Xhekaj... but hey, who needs toughness. It's ok for Suzuki and Caufield to get run over and Guhle eating elbows. No bigs.

Builds character and can't distract from the plan of overrating prospects in the hopes something good happens to the Habs

 

[Skip Bayless]

We all know the 2nd game of a back to back means pain. I hope it doesn't get too bad.

 

[BLONG7]

Last night.............Barron had a real tough night.
Guy can move the puck, and join the offence and score, but there are nights, when he is off in his own end. No doubt about it.

 

[lakai17]

Regardless of the hit, Barron needs to sit. He's been absolutely brutal for a while now. If anyone needs to sit it's him.

Good to know. A healthy scratch may be the right move for now then

 

[Tuggy]

I think the Habs win this one...


in regulation!

 

[lakai17]

Monty get the nod?

 

[Milhouse40]

Regardless of the hit, Barron needs to sit. He's been absolutely brutal for a while now. If anyone needs to sit it's him.

When it comes to evaluate Barron, we always need to take into account his age. Out of the 225 Dmen who played at least 10 games in the NHL this year, here's the youngest:

He's been bad, but he don't need to sit, he needs to play......but those minutes might be in the AHL.

 

[Kennerback]

Good to know. A healthy scratch may be the right move for now then

Barron looked more of a bumbling klutz than Matheson last night.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

This is the first symptom to CTE

Barron needs to learn how to regularize his performance. Much like Primeau, he spirals down into an abyss of hot garbage at the first sign of adversity.

It's a second gme for Preds too on the road.

I don’t find Pezz tough as much as resilient
