GDT: Game 29: Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators 12/14/22 7:00pm EST SN, RDS, TSN 690

[Walrus26]

Good start!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nice check by Slaf downlow.

I didn't have a problem with Anderson's shot there, but has he ever deked on a chance.

Also, let's sigh/be a mift by CC, too

 

[The Real Timo]

Caufield missed second pretty good chance. BUST!!!!

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The first Bilbo vs Smeagol

 

[sj315]

Like Caulfield still surfing concussion

 

[Captain97]

You're kidding right? He avoids contact more than he initiates it. Especially this season. Softer than butter.

... I literally pulled the stats that say he is more physical than 90% of forwards.

 

[HabSgt]

Cole buzzing early, good to see he is not affected by last game.

Dadonov with a rocket

Remember when sens fans said on this board that they had the best summer with the trades and signups and they were gonna make playoffs this year?

Why are they under then? We know we arent making the playoffs.

Sens games aren't cheap.

Or at least, Sens games vs the Habs aren't cheap. I've obviously never looked for games vs other teams. Montreal fans routinely make the trip to Ottawa, so it makes sense to raise prices. Supply and demand and all that.

There's supply and demand, then there's price gouging. Same seat shouldn't be 300% more. Anyways.

People shit on Anderson ALL THE TIME. I don't get it at all.

It's like they expect him to score 50 or something. I have absolutely zero issues with Josh Anderson. I'm a fan.

 

[expy]

This is pretty much a home game for the Habs

They did have a good off season, maybe led to rose tinted glasses on the fanbase.

I want Drouin to do well. It would be nice to see him try to make plays.

It really couldn’t have gone worse than it did with him and us. Constant injuries, a catastrophic mental health break, underperformance whenever he manages to play, and a ton of negativity surrounding him at all times.

Feel bad for him at this point. Rooting for him to have fun again. Maybe he can get a contract somewhere and enjoy himself playing the sport he loved.

"a catastrophic mental health break" ???
That's a little bit out of reality ; it makes him less anxious, more zen, sleeps better . There is only positive from that brake

 

[Le Tricolore]

Not just their fanbase. A lot of people, myself included, thought they'd be competing for a playoff spot. Adding Giroux and DeBrincat seemed like they'd be great moves, but here we are.

 

[Walrus26]

Lol heavyweight Wideman!

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... Wideman... First the fighter. Not the hitter. Love it!

I wouldn't count them out. Sens have a nasty habit in the last few years of having better finishes, so the fact they are ahead on previous seasons, staying close to ,500, you might see them get really close to the playoffs by the end of the season.

Games against Arizona are so f***ing cheap.

Getting tickets higher up in the arena for 3 costs about 250 and that was before covid.

Against a less popular opponent you could get 3 tickets for just a bit more in the 100s oppose to in the 300s

 

[HabSgt]

Wideman studying the Xhekaj method?

 

[expy]

Slaf playing great again tonight

You've been around long enough to know that the definition of "soft" change depending of whoever use the word.

For some any player who take more than 3 strides without attempting to get someone through the glass is soft.

 

[ZUKI]

JDrou gonna score a hat trick tonight to win the game.
Goes on to score a goal a game, gets traded for a first round draft pick to the Anaheim Ducks, becomes their leading scorer & takes them on a win streak that puts them in the playoffs, wins the Stanley Cup then retires & trolls HFHabs for the rest of his life.
Absolute legend. And it all starts tonight.

Finally , a " connaisseur" in this forum out of all the dummies
