GDT: Game #5 - Los Angeles Kings Vs Montreal Canadiens - Oct 17th 2024, 7:00pm EST - TSN2, RDS - In Memoriam

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

The basics are failing this team

Dvorak owned again

Maybe its not working coach

Those summer training sessions with Crosby are paying off for Barron.

 

[The Real Timo]

Kings are headed for a lottery pick.
Look like poop coming off a poop loss last night too.


Poop.

The team that is headed for a lottery pick is outshooting Habs 2 to 1 and by far had the better chances.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Dvorak who's crap this year on draws.

Suzuki is the only one over 50%.

Dach is at 18%

I'll never understand how Dach can be so bad at faceoffs.

 

[Karma Police]

NHL.com has the Habs at 58% so far tonight

Get me the % of defensive faceoffs, we are trash at it with Dvorak

 

[Mrb1p]

Differences in faceoff percentages are negligible over the course of 10,000 faceoffs therefore they don’t matter

46 to 50 is neglible.

18 to 50 isn't.

 

[The Great Weal]

Every shot looks like a massive challenge for Rittich

 

[The Real Timo]

The basics are failing this team

Dvorak owned again

Nah... they just need to get the concepts.

 

[morhilane]

Dvorak has been losing all his dzone faceoffs since the season started.

edit: before this game, he's 4w-8L in the dzone at 5v5.

 

[Andrei79]

Dach's struggles while frustrating are completely understandable. He's should get some slack, that said he needs to be better.

It was obvious that he would need an adaptation period. It happened to Svechnikov with the same injury. Well it was obvious to everyone but one arrogant doctor who's a poster here.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I just can't imagine this team with Suzuki injured.

Dear god

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

You gotta think that the Kings are gonna be more tired as this game goes along right?

...right?

Yeah. And the Pittsburgh old men outplayed the Habs in the 3rd period.

 

[Redux91]

That shot will always be deadly, or it gets better in time which would be wild

 

[Mrb1p]

Every shot looks like a massive challenge for Rittich

And they barely shoot. Slaf, Suzuki, caufield, dach... I don't remember a shot from them in the first.

 

[OldCraig71]

You can have the best structure in the world but if your team is green or not great defensively you’re going to struggle.

This is to be expected. We’re still in the early stages of a rebuild. The offense will come first and the D later.

Players look very disorganized in our zone both forwards and D. We have given up 13 shots to a team on a back to back and also one that is giving up plenty of goals. It's a mess.

 

[HabSgt]

NHL.com has the Habs at 58% so far tonight

Not even 60%? Gros échec.

 

[Tabarouette]

Dvorak getting into bad plays now is a downgrade from Dvorak participating in absolutely 0 plays last year

 

[waitin425]

Time for a beer?????

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Dach at the wing position looked like he was way top far from the d

The way Rittich plays goal is how the Habs play.

I don't see the growth they're hoping for.

 

[Andrei79]

Kings are headed for a lottery pick.
Look like poop coming off a poop loss last night too.


Poop.

I like Fiala, but trading away Faber was so dumb. Their rebuild looked so solid for a while and then it went all MB/Rob Blake.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Nah... they just need to get the concepts.

“You talkin concepts”

Feels going full Iverson

 

[OnTheRun]

Period is over. This is a PSA for the folks watching their stream from a Chinese server.

 

[The Great Weal]

Newhook should be taking draws on the line because 18% from Dach is unacceptable

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This year tdl can't come fast enough

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Players look very disorganized in our zone both forwards and D. We have given up 13 shots to a team on a back to back and also one that is giving up plenty of goals. It's a mess.

And it will be a mess all year. The D is why we’re going to miss the playoffs.
