GDT: Game 34: HABS @ BLUEJACKETS Dec 23, 2024 – 7PM ET. TSN2, RDS

[OldCraig71]

Monty plays the puck like a goalie from the 70s. He the anti price of puck handling.

If he shot that puck around the back of the net that goal never happens. It seems that all of our mistakes end up in our net. Price would have hit a forward with a good pass there.

I started watching the game and immediately got the vibe that this was going to be a long night so I switched to the NYI VS Sabres game.

Matheson and Monty are giving up freebies in a tense game. So you might be on to something.

Patrik Laine on Blue Jackets trade request: ‘I was tired of losing and just giving up’

Laine will face his former club for the first time since his summer trade to the Canadiens Monday night in Columbus.

Insinuated that his former teammates were losers pretty much lol.

So a few interesting points; Laine says he's "having the time of his life" in Montreal, which is great news for us all. Is friends and stayed in touch with Olivier Mathieu - hopefully he can convince him to come to Montreal (and Ehlers too).

And seems he might have been traded low just because there was a rift between he and the Jackets management. Interesting article.

Dense. I didn't talk about the goal, simply all the turnovers.

yeah, sure, I believe you. Columbus scored a goal and you found that it was a good time to talk about the turnovers of Matheson, who wasn't on the ice...

I have read a fan blaming Ribeiro for the lost of a game, even he didn't play. Forums are what they are.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

What is our team PP at for the season now? it was already good before Laine joined.

 

[Frankenheimer]

So Laine has made this doubly hard tonight by putting a bee in the Jackets proverbial bonnets?

Laine should really not have said "yeah, I hit it then quit it" about CBJ.

 

[Habs13]

On the other hand it should open things for his teammates. It seemed to help Dach ..not so much Newhook though

Yeah in theory if they're over concentrated on Laine, the ice opens up and it could cause turn overs and stuff. Of course... the Habs slept through the first.

They are 12th in the league at 22.4%

As someone who rarely ever post here, this reads like crazy talk.

Toronto Sports Network trying to submarine our rebuild.

Unless I misunderstand what you're saying, my habs feed was constantly buffering so had to go back to BJ's feed.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Wow that Kucherov hit was brutal.

As Alan Rickman said in "Die Hard"...."do not alter the plan"

Dirty? Lightning fans are trying to say it was clean.

Because that is what they are getting paid to do. It builds team confidence and gives them the taste of success they need to go forward.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Matheson has been playing like total shit

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No one is there, so Matheson throws it up the boards.

Mistake by him and mistake by the winfer to not be there.

 

[HabsCode]

Savard my boy

They still need a top five pick one more year
