GDT: Game 32: Montreal Canadiens vs Detroit Red Wings 12/20/24 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS

[The Great Weal]

I agree with that.

Guhle looked sensational at the start of the year but hasn't come close to that since coming back from injury. He's way closer to a #4 dman than a #2 dman so far in his career. Was hoping to see more growth in his game.

 

[Pomee]

Fun period!
Slaf has to stop wasting all these great chances.
Newhook is ridiculously bad.

 

[Naslundforever]

Slaf needs to be told every shifts to keep his feet moving. Every single shift.

Yes I hate his body posture when he does not have the puck. Get some weight on those feet and stick and keep it mobile, ahead of the play.

 

[Riddick412]

The one dimensional pass to Laine PP plan by the genius coaching staff will not work for very long. Ask Caufield. Teams are already over playing Laine. Need to have more than 1 play available.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

My super spicy take is that Xhekaj has been better than Guhle for a large part of the season now.

Guhle is getting the tougher match-ups, but Xhekaj's game has grown exponentially over the last month. He's playing with a ton of confidence.

It's great to see.

 

[ChikN]

Yeah not joining Caufield in that battle for the puck along the boards on the PP looked pretty bad. Slaf just stood there…

He can do better and will.

 

[Paddy17]

Terrible pass newhook

Newhook is a bad passer... he plays like a headless chicken. A less effective Russ Courtnall.

 

[HabbyGuy]

We're killing our own offensive zone time with horrible passes to point. We're clearing it for Detroit.

They were so much sharper in the first period. These inconsistencies from a young team like ours while inevitable can be very frustrating to watch.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Mailloux sucks.

1-1

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I like the youngsters Les Canadiens have...the ones coming are going to very good,thinking Demidov here...Hage,Fowler,Reinbacher,Beck,Roy,Kapanen,Tuch,Mailloux,Mesar,Koivu,Sam Harris and Konyushkov

Hutson is going to be a Super-Star too

Like your positivity

 

[Tyson]

Mailloux sucks.

1-1

Disappointed in that play.

 

[JianYang]

Yeah but I

The one dimensional pass to Laine PP plan by the genius coaching staff will not work for very long. Ask Caufield. Teams are already over playing Laine. Need to have more than 1 play available.

It will get better. Teams haven't stopped this particular play yet but pkers also have to respect suzuki's ability to snipe as well as caufield. Then you have hutson's vision and lateral movent at the back.

They will find other options but the go to has to be the guy with 5 or 6 pp goals in about as many games until it cools down.

 

[JuicyHam]

My super spicy take is that Xhekaj has been better than Guhle for a large part of the season now.

Yes after a really poor start to the season he's really become a steady piece

Much to look forward to.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Overall, that was a good period by Montreal. It wasn't as exciting as 1st period because there were no goals. They played stronger defensively.

Despite getting 2 PPs, Detroit only got 5 shots. Montreal was the stronger team 5 on 5.

We might get to 30 shots tonight! Just need 6 more.

Matheson with 17:13 TOI
Guhle with 11:51 TOI

Who the hell is coaching these ice times?

So shouldn't that be Caufield? THis was the whole point of having Laine and CC... teams have to guess and not know who to cover.

I think they have, buffalo shouldn't count

Oooh, I know....!!!!

 

[OldCraig71]

Laine should take Slafs spot and Evans should take Dach's.

Caufield Big dick and pure Laine

Halfhook Heavens Calvin Klein model

Everyone else.

 

[overlords]

people thinking the refs are jobbing us in the detroit game need to turn on the laval game for a wee bit

 

[Riddick412]

So shouldn't that be Caufield? THis was the whole point of having Laine and CC... teams have to guess and not know who to cover.

It should be but they aren't using it is my point. It's automatically straight to Laine. Petry was there before the shot arrives.

 

[Whitesnake]

Late to the party.....so how is Carrier so far?

 

[donghabs98]

Slaf needs to be told every shifts to keep his feet moving. Every single shift.

I want the Slaf from Nov 2023-April 2024. This Slaf isn't the same player, he's trying to get rid of the puck fast, doesn't engage physically and isn't making smart plays
