GDT: Game 33: Montreal Canadiens vs Colorado Avalanche 12/21/22 8:00pm EST SN, RDS, TSN 690

[Stive Morgan]

This is one fast game. Hardly any stoppages at all.

2 periods done in 1h40

Love it

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

No teams has scored yet when Xhekaj was in the box lol, that's excluding the fight penalties.

 

[Milhouse40]

Panthers lost....so there's that!

 

[StCaufield]

Drouin best skill is doing amazing plays that result in absolutely nothing.

He distributes and others can’t finish. This team doesn’t finish

 

[The Real Timo]

Man Panthers really miscalculated their team in the off-season.

How sad. Terribly, terribly sad.

Yes. Me sad. High draft pick for those Panther... or is it for the Panthers?

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Panthers lost....so there's that!

Will they make the playoffs ?

 

[sheed36]

Wings also beat Tampa 7-4. Tough couple of nights for Tampa.

 

[sj315]

We really are going to win this huh

if we do, we gonna over Florida on standing

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Drouin is having some really short shifts. Three times now, he's switched off for Evans if Montreal loses possession in offensive zone and play swings to our zone.

MSL must've watched that one shift of Slafkovsky playing center D, and decided that was enough of that.

 

[Rapala]

Wow back to 4 shots a period again. I really thought it was only 1.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Yes. Me sad. High draft pick for those Panther... or is it for the Panthers?

Once I saw Paul Maurice, I knew what was up

 

[HabSgt]

Yes. Me sad. High draft pick for those Panther... or is it for the Panthers?

I truly hope they earn the best draft pick possible. It would really help a team in need.

 

[sheed36]

Will they make the playoffs ?

Everyone on this board really hopes not and that they completely fall on their faces going forward this season.

 

[The Real Timo]

Drouin is having some really short shifts. Three times now, he's switched off for Evans if Montreal loses possession in offensive zone and play swings to our zone.

He doesn't get paid to play in high altitudes.

 

[Rapala]

Wings also beat Tampa 7-4. Tough couple of nights for Tampa.

That's what happens when you come in and smoke the Habs. All of a sudden you think you are better than you really are.

 

[Jaaanosik]

Dude, during the entire 1st period, our 2nd line was:

Slafkovsky-Drouin-Anderson. Drouin was at center.

But, Dvorak took over. What happened to Drouin? He's missed at least 2 shifts?

Nevermind, line is back.

It also appears Slaf was playing as 'a center' for short period of time in the defensive end.

 

[HabSgt]

Will they make the playoffs ?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It also appears Slaf was playing as 'a center' for short period of time in the defensive end.

Oh yeah, there was one shift where that happened, and Slafkovsky did not look comfortable at all. Drouin has been defensively spotted by Dvorak and Evans since then.

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... Harris got a lot of bruises.

 

[Team_Spirit]

At least Makar is playing. He's so fun to watch.

Avs injuries will help them be fresh for the playoffs.

Harris interview

 

[sheed36]

Caroline certainly saving that SN panel.

 

[Rapala]

He distributes and others can’t finish. This team doesn’t finish

The funny thing is when Drouin distributes the other way they invariably do finish.

 

[JianYang]

Yeah, Colorado dictated that period.

Only chances for Montreal were on the counter, and this has been reminiscent of alot of their games in last few weeks. The Habs simply can't establish their own game, especially when the top line is neutralized.

 

[I miss Peter Popovic]

That's what happens when you come in and smoke the Habs. All of a sudden you think you are better than you really are.

Coach didn't help either. When you have a fairly decent team who have 2x more victories than defeats and call them dogshits to the media after a bad performance it ain't the best idea in the idea bag

 

[Jaaanosik]

Oh yeah, there was one shift where that happened, and Slafkovsky did not look comfortable at all. Drouin has been defensively spotted by Dvorak and Evans since then.

It's hard to say based on one shift.
