GDT: Game 32: Montreal Canadiens vs Minnesota Wild 12/21/23 8:00pm EST RDS (HD), TSN, TSN 690

[The Real Timo]

Seriously the amount of freezing rain on my drive to work this morning was crazy roads were covered took way longer than the normal hour.


We are AST lol

Work is overrated. Stay home.

 

[Mdamico]

no is he an idiot lmao

I dunno, ask the man.

That's been my impressions, maybe he sounds better not talking to Gallo or being condescending to callers on TSN690, but that's what I've heard.

I haven't spoken to callers on 690 in months. Odd take.

But thanks for listening!

For some reason they just play heavy against the Habs. Habs need to get bigger.

we'll see Rossi and Hartman on the second line doesn't intimidate me. Maroon on the third line plays a heavy game, but he's no 3rd liner. And the first line has Kaprisov, who's tiny, but he's the one I'm most worried about. I think if we can contain him, we'll win.

I think our speed could give those big but slow and imobile 2nd and 3rd d pairings problems.

I'm looking forward to seeing what our two aces in the hole can do from the 4th line: Ylonen and Heineman. I like that Evans is getting his shot in the top six. But if he ever gets bumped back to 4c, that could be a good 4th line: Ylonen - Evans - Heineman. Lots of speed and some secondary scoring.

let that prisoner Heiney play whatever his name is

Sucks that Pezz can't play C, because Stephens remains in. Nothing against the latter, but obviously he's not a regular NHLer. Pezzetta could be useful against minny too

 

[Mdamico]

Why is marco damico saying its an *interesting choice* to call up heinemen like he's not our most glaringly obvious NHL ready prospect right now...

It was an interesting choice, given the fact that Joshua Roy has had the better overall season and wasn't injured for a month like Heineman was.

Doesn't mean it was the wrong choice

 

[26Mats]

Obviously there are reasons why the stars are like that. But man, Therrien had such a great circumstance here (Ex: Prime Price) and we saw what happens when he didnt get great goaltending (15-16 epic collapse).

Shows the value of analytics/stats/data when not used properly.

 

[habsfan891]

We're EST... But Minny is central time

Fair I meant me and Blong specifically though as we are in Nova Scotia

 

[Tuggy]

Good!

I hope he grabs his spot like Struble did. He's certainly capable.

 

[Milhouse40]

Great, now we can move on from : ''When is he going to play'' to ''He needs more minutes and get on the PP''

But seriously, the 4th line played like 7 minutes in the last few games so I don't expect a whole lot tonight.

 

[BLONG7]

We might not even have power by that time lol. The last three days have been crazy.

True........

NHL says 8:00 PM EST
Are they wrong?

Yes, but 9 here in the Atlantic....

 

[Team_Spirit]

Time to shut the haters up

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

It was an interesting choice, given the fact that Joshua Roy has had the better overall season and wasn't injured for a month like Heineman was.

Doesn't mean it was the wrong choice

They probably brought up Heineman because he is older and has played in a pro league.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Great, now we can move on from : ''When is he going to play'' to ''He needs more minutes and get on the PP''

I really can't find a gif of "Get Heiney on the PP" that wont end up in the suspension of my account.
Unless mods give me a pass on this one?
Mods?
For the children?

 

[bonneaug]

Heineman is better than Pezz along the boards, has a better shot and can actually create plays. It’s a big win for Ylonen and the fourth line in general! Very happy

 

[malcb33]

Where's the Assman??

Release the Heiney!!

 

[the valiant effort]

Heineman’s stat line: 3SOG, 3 hits, 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 rebound, 55% FG%…TOI: 6:57

8 other forwards combined:

 

[HabSgt]

It's the time of year that miracles can happen.
Habs beat the Minnesota Tame tonight & the Chicago Native Stereotypes tomorrow.
Happy Holidays mofos!

 

[McGees]

Habs win.
3-2
Goals from Suzuki, Matheson and Moneyhands

 

[MrNasty]

Time to shut the haters up

IIRC this guy projected Norlinder to bea superstar..according to his model

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Fair I meant me and Blong specifically though as we are in Nova Scotia

I lived in the Atlantic time zone for two years. The 2014 playoff run sucked because of that, haha

 

[Canadienna]

Love that quote from the Captain.

 

[Habaddict]

This should just be a game where Heine can get his
feet wet, and see NHL play close up. I don't understand
why people want him to play more. As he gets more
comfortable he should play more. But I wouldn't expect
much from him till later in the season, or even next season.
He's not straight out of junior, so hopefully he can
contribute by next year.
But I find the choice of first game strange. A player
just off a concussion. out against a big, very physical
team. And one habs strugle against. It doesn't seem
like the best way to get comfortable in the NHL.

it was a million to one shot Doc, million to one
