GDT: Game 31: BOLTS @ HABS | Dr. Slaf in the house! | Sat. Dec. 17th, 2022, 7 PM -- CITY, SNE, TVAS, TSN690, 98.5 FM

Another loss. Tankers will be happy and dancing in the streets.

Dadonov out ! That's a good start.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Drouin got a promotion for his last two games??
He must have incriminating photos of MSL

 

[Takeru]

"Selon nos experts" loses all meaning when you realize they're including this guy:

Still, I stand in awe at their capacity at decyphering the complex web of stats to unearth the passengers on the habs. Thank you RDS, I could never have figured this out on my own. Thank god you have hockey experts.

Wonder if those experts would have categorized Simmonds as a passenger, had we traded Suzuki for him like Flynn advocated for not so long ago.

Truly a take aging like the finest of wines.

 

[morhilane]

Trying Anderson with Caufield/Suzuki again. They might as well put Drouin there instead and isolate that line in the ozone. Roll Slaf-Dach-Anderson over 200 feets.

Pezzeta/Pitlick in but Dadonov skipping his turn?????

 

[The Great Weal]

Keep Anderson with Slaf ffs

Maybe St. Louis liked how Drouin helped secure the last two games?

 

[cphabs]

Let’s hope Sergachev doesn’t play. This match could easily put him above a PPG D at barely 24 years old… with 2 cup wins.

 

[MarkJ]

gimme A. Richard before Drouin.

 

[The Real Timo]

That was a great GDT. Thanks man.
St Louis makes no sense. He should bench himself. Go watch a game from upstairs. Burrows can handle it.

Go Slaf!!!

 

[Tyson]

Yeah because he is so good, so clutch

 

[SlafySZN]

Dach will be back with Caufield and Suzuki after 1 period and a half because Anderson will be horrendous.

 

[morhilane]

Dach will be back with Caufield and Suzuki after 1 period and a half because Anderson will be horrendous.

I can't tell if you are optimistic or pessimistic about it.

I have no idea why MSL is trying that line again. If he doesn't want to put Slaf there and needs Dach at center, put Armia on that spot, at least he can win board battles.

 

[ArtPeur]

Expecting a blowout as it's the first real team that the Habs will be playing in a long time.

That said.

Also expecting the Habs to actually play a good game.

 

[The Real Timo]

Pretty sure the line of Slaf - Dach- Drouin will not last.

 

[The Real Timo]

Btw... these biceps on Slaf are worthy of the Bergevin club.

Are they playing in the blue PJs again tonight?

Agree with you

 

[The Real Timo]

I like Xhekaj-Kova a lot more than Harris-Kova. And goodie... the Great Mike Mattheson is back... with Harris to boot. That will be something. I miss the October Habs defense.

Who's ready to see the Montréal Passengers get destroyed tonight?

I got something else planned tonight, so I give my "good luck to get a good match" to anyone who does.

I feel like it should be interesting here tonight... on these pages. Not necessarily on the ice.

 

[The Real Timo]

Let’s hope Sergachev doesn’t play. This match could easily put him above a PPG D at barely 24 years old… with 2 cup wins.

I read somewhere else that he is not playing... not sure how accurate. I agree though... too painful to watch.

Boy oh boy could we use a U25 #1 RD right about now.......

 

[SlafySZN]

Pretty sure the line of Slaf - Dach- Drouin will not last.

That line should be interesting but like you said, won’t last because they’ll have to put Dach back with Suzuki and Caufield because Anderson won’t work with them, again.

 

[Gustave]

I'm against Dach on C, for this season. I'd make sure to not rock the boat there, he's gathering confidence. No issues with the bingo card lineup, only with Dach away from the top line.

He's simply not good enough to drive his own line atm. He needs to play with Suzuki and CC.

 

[LaP]

Marty evoked the presence of too many passengers in the lineup:



AC named these players:

Even if you try to defend them by saying they're not playing a lot the reality is 4 goals in 118 games is abysmal even for a 4th line player playing 7-8 minutes a game and being there only for his physicality. You want your 4th line physical guy to be able to give you around at least 7-8 goals every 82 games.

 

[Tyson]

Not sure why MSL keeps validating the definition of insanity...keeps putting Anderson with Suzuki and Caufield.
I am sure Drouin will play the point on the PP and 5 forwards will be used.

I wonder when Slaf will get benched.

 

[Runner77]

That should resolve itself as soon as Monahan returns to the lineup.

I agree that playing on the first line and on the wing, has done wonders for Dach and that should continue. Not convinced that he'll ever become a regular at center but the Habs are sure to stock up at the position so that they don't have to absolutely rely on Dach should he not pan out there.
