GDT: Game 34: Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes 12/28/23 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

12 forwards and Caufield is clearly hurt. Not good.

We can certainly call on Wideman for some fourth line duties

12 forwards and Caufield is clearly hurt. Not good.

I think if we only have 11 forwards ready, and can't make a call up in time, either we'll dress 11 forwards and 7 D, or we'll have one of Harris, Lindstrom, or Struble play as a forward.

 

[Rapala]

I'm not sure how long I will be hanging around in this one if I see we aren't going to be wearing our Big Boy pants.
I have no interest in watching a team get outscored by a 5 to 1 ratio.

Are ya mi kup

Reindeer fondue is on the menu boys

 

[sampollock]

Boys need to show up..
Hope it's a good game

 

[rahad]

Monahan have been cold for a couple of games now. Hope he start putting up more points before the trade deadline.

 

[Tyson]

Habs will have to weather a storm until they get their rhythm going.
Huge for Primeau to hold the fort early.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Storm warning.

Take shelter.

They're gonna.....

ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRRRRRICAANNNNNNNNEEEE

Like against Minnesota, MTL can't win against them.

Historically frustrating year after year

True

But Canes are not playing well lately and Habs are 6-1-1 in their last 8 road games.
They also are 3-0-1 in their last 4 games.

Overtime? Seems like we end up 50% of our games that way anyway

I have a bad feeling about this game. Time off always equals a shit game. Always. The only player you can count on is Yoel.

How come gif inserts no longer work? Is that a new server feature?

 

[The Great Weal]

It's quite amazing how the Habs can always find adequate goaltending without even trying while other teams struggle big time. On the other hand I don't think any other team struggles as much as us when it comes to finding skilled players.

 

[Tyson]

Is it me or does Marty's concepts not embrace toughness?
Pezzetta doesn't play like he use to, Anderson rarely plays like a power forward and Xhekaj has all but been neutered.

 

[HomaridII]

4 huge games coming up on the road. Carolina - Tampa - Florida and Dallas.

This stretch will say a lot about where the team is. 3-4 pts would be a huge huge statement.

That's a tough stretch against teams that usually own the Habs.

 

[The Real Timo]

Please tell me game is not on TSN

 

[negative77]

Let's go Red! Josh Gorges says hi.

MSL would clearly rather talentless creampuffs than somewhat solid tough guys. I don't like where this is headed.

 

[hvac412]

a 4 points game for a wildcard spot.

A victory tonight combined with another victory in one of the next two games could do wonder for an upcoming playoff run

Sweet revenge if we could get in and Carolina NOT!

Defensively other than Savard the other player I trust will rarely f*** up defensively is Kovacevic. With Guhle at #3.

not trying to rain on your parade but he’s seventh highest in turnovers for defenseman in the NHL. He’s been running a bakery the last few weeks. I do like his game for the most part, but he’s gotta tighten things up and be a little more physical.

 

[The Real Timo]

It IS f***ing TSN. Sigh... En Francais it is tonight.

 

[Le Tricolore]

RDS just said Matheson is a #1 defenseman on half the teams in the league. What?

15th point scorer in D for like a year so not that hot a take
