GDT: Game 5: HABS @ SABRES Oct 23, 2023 – 7:00PM ET. RDS, SN

[Walrus26]

This 5-man semi-passive box thing in our own zone is not good for my stress levels.

 

[OldCraig71]

We are tossing pucks right to the Sabres in our end under pressure. We really lack a calming presence on D, and it would be better if there were better mentors than Savard or Matheson.

 

[StCaufield]

This is a HUUUGE part of the problem btw you are 100% right

The fact we do it EVERYTIME every SINGLE time
Well guess what, if WE know that
Guess what the other team knows.

The fact they use it everytime literally works AGAINST them
It's insane

Funny I said this last year about the drop pass and I got absolutely scolded lol

 

[Habssince89]

Like yes of course we need to appreciate the gulf in skill, but the sabres are huge we cannot get shots through

 

[Riddick412]

Allen standing on his head again so far. That 3 shot save with his blocker was unreal. Habs need to get their shit together. Buffalo is not this good.

 

[zx81]

Maybe it's time to try Slaf on Suzuki's line again...or to separate CC and Suzuki.

Anyway try something damn it

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

You shouldn’t just throw players down when the opposing player is literally doing nothing

it was a message though. Xhekaj is just that kind of player. and now that we killed the penalty, I'd say it was worth it. Habs have a player who will **** you up for no reason sometimes... might make them think twice.

 

[sampollock]

Slaf really needs to start doing something. Chances , passes … generate momentum. I mean come on

He is not physical either

 

[FLHabs]

Sabres making the Habs look real bad in the D-zone, ouch

 

[Gravity]

They should play 91 with 22 to raise his trade value.

 

[SlafySZN]

Slaf really needs to start doing something. Chances , passes … generate momentum. I mean come on

Did exactly that in the first.

Everyone’s playing kinda bad this period

 

[The Great Weal]

Lmao nice offensive instincts by Evans there

 

[sampollock]

Thought the habs were a fast team

 

[Tyson]

No excuses for Buffalo with Power and Dahlin anchoring your D

 

[FrankMTL]

Damn, do I ever miss Dach....

 

[SlafySZN]

Maybe it's time to try Slaf on Suzuki's line again...or to separate CC and Suzuki.

Anyway try something damn it

They should. Nothing to lose.

 

[the]

Monahan saving his energy to go Kaioken on the next PP when he will have 30 seconds to play with good players.

 

[sampollock]

Buff is all over them

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Maybe it's time to try Slaf on Suzuki's line again...or to separate CC and Suzuki.

Anyway try something damn it

I agree.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

RHP with Suzuki and Caufield just ain't working.

Roy will be a welcome addition, someone who can keep possession and cause turnovers

Caufield-Suzuki-Roy
Newhook-Monahan-Anderson
Pearson-Dvorak-Ylonen

Slafkovsky to da AHL

 

[Adam Michaels]

I’d prefer Monahan with 14 and 22.

I think once Dvorak is back, he will center the third line and Monahan will be put up with Suzuki and Caufield.

 

[The Real Timo]

That's because it is...lol...Every new shift is the hardest for him.

That's because every new shift he is older than the shift before.

 

[Tyson]

Not sure why the Habs look so lethargic this period.

 

[jj cale]

Did he actuallly try to explain what a secondary assist is to us?

 

[Redux91]

You shouldn’t just throw players down when the opposing player is literally doing nothing

Let that be a warning to everyone else.
