is it confirmed that RHP wont slot in today?

 

[Gravity]

Another guaranteed win to climb up the standing

[Beaker]

Please let this game be better than yesterday. I’m not doing 3 periods of that again.

I want to see Suzuki and Caufield get it going tonight… last night was hard to watch. Other than the Caufield pass to Slafkovsky for the breakaway, there wasn’t much positive to take from their game.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Hopefully we have found our fastball again tonight

 

[SwiftyHab]

Heineman out.

RHP confirmed in!!!!

 

[donghabs98]

Will be at the game tonight. Got a good price for pair of tickets in the Club Desjardins. Will be my first time in those seats so at least if the game is a dud they'll be something to look forward to!

 

[morhilane]

Sharkies for the win, because they always win in the house and the Habs played so much like shit last night that I doubt they got better overnight, with limited sleep.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Watching RHP will make this game worth it

 

[sampollock]

SJ has been sucking bad. let's not have tonight the time where they step up

 

[BLONG7]

Our forwards are bad guys..............maybe RHP can have some jump and help.............if not for our high scoring Dmen, imagine how bad we would be???
Highest team scoring from Dmen...........and worst forward group. All the while being coached by MSL??
I know Dach and Newhook would make a big difference but wow......
Leafs got 7 on these guys...............we should get 5...................

Watching RHP will make this game worth it

With all due respect..............that's the standard? Let's hope he can jumpstart the offence....

 

[The Great Weal]

Nice to see RHP back. I don't think he was having a bad start to the season, he was overwhelmed being on the top line because that's not who he is.

 

[vokiel]

Oh please Zadina.. Fill our nets!

The hockey isnt great. Dont think anyone disagrees with that. But watching individuals players (Slaf, Struble, Suzuki, Monty, Primeau, etc...) start to figure it out individually and on thier lines with eachother is the reason I watch this year.

Gotta set your expectations realistically to what we are and thats a young team trying almost every night with great goalies.

RHP also has to prove that his around 30+ shooting % last year wasn't that much of an overexaggerating of his actual potential.

My standard is watching what could be our collective potential. The will we or wont we win or even make the playoffs are just extra fun storylines to follow.

This team has no real system. It's rellying a lot on individual performances and some "once in a while" collective effort.

Thats a philosophy that MSL uses. He's teaching them to play approaches to each situation. We've tried systems for decades, especially boring defensive ones. Im good with giving this a try and it may take a few years and glaring mistakes given the ages of the kids and experience of the coach. At least its more exciting to watch.

and if we lose...higher draft pick. If we win...who knows? a bunch of kids in the playoffs..
Win-Win

 

[Habs]

here's hoping we break the mythical 15 shot barrier

 

[McEsenpi]

I like RHP hopes he scores one

 

[Tyson]

Watching RHP will make this game worth it

Oh yeah, 4 assists in 13 games...that's worth the price of admission.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good to see RHP back. Hopefully this begins a new quality chapter in a mediocre season so far.

I imagine we get our 9th regulation win today. Montembeault is in net, and team usually plays well for him.

 

[JT3]

Give me some offense tonight please, had to shut off yesterdays game mid way through the 2nd. Just putrid to watch

 

[Habssince89]

If we had shown up for the flyers, I could totally see a terrible game from the habs ahead, but instead I bet they come out and play well because they laid an egg against philly

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Well they should be fresh tonight because they did fukall last night!

I see them winning this one 4-2

 

[Cournoyer12]

Hopefully we have found our fastball again tonight

Bill Stoneman 89 mph fastball that is,lol
