GDT: Game 53: Edmonton Oilers vs Montreal Canadiens 2/12/23 12:30pm EST TSN2, RDS (HD), TSN 690: Super Bowl Sunday

[Rapala]

To be completely honest, if his hand was bad he should have been put on IR.

I know Xhekaj is old school and would be like f*** that, but the medical staff needs to step in. They've looked very incompetent for well over a decade for this team.

No hockey players are supposed to play hockey not fight.

Honestly this feels like exactly what happened watching it live
I couldn't even believe when I saw the gloves come off Xhekaj I literally had an awful feeling about it, ugh

It was you could tell by his reaction after the fight. No honor taking him on at that point.

 

[Habs]

Why is Desharnais Not in a Habs jersey?How did the scouts miss this Man mountain in our own backyard?

should also have Deslauriers and Carrier just to What's Up around the league a bit and have some fun

 

[Runner77]

6 goals in 9 games for RHP!

Spinach got a chance and he's running with it. Good on him.

Didn’t he play in the US at the collegiate level?

 

[Nedved]

Habs moving the puck from the backend. Ahl guys stepping up, scrubs playing a bit better, getting decent goaltending, and you can see them starting to play some better hockey.

msl is a great coach.

Oh look big mouth Eric on Sportsnet Mr I don't know anything but I'll still talk

How dare you insult the excellence of our medical team

Montreal has a 7.5% chance to draft Bedard. Guys who want Habs to lose, let me know the next time you bet your house on a 7.5% chance.

Be realistic, we're not drafting him. Enjoy the games.

Bet what house? The Habs are certainly not a house. Maybe an old Lada Niva that doesn't run.

The goal to lose is to have better chances at drafting Bedard, michkov, fantili or Carlsson.

I think that most of us would be happy with a top 5 pick.
Anyway right now I'm watching the games without real expectations other than being entertained.
I'm not frustrated by a win or a loss

 

[Rapala]

Got f***ed = injured his limb, or got f***ed = got the L?

Because he did win that fight

Got f***ed because he shouldn't have been fighting.

In order for it to be like betting your house, the Habs would have to be the Cup favorite this year and throw the season lol

 

[Runner77]

Oh look big mouth Eric on Sportsnet Mr I don't know anything but I'll still talk

He can be annoying. Still remembering that time when on Twitter he lit a fire with an unfounded comment and then when called on it, snapped back with "calm down".

 

[OldCraig71]

His shooting percentage is something like 27%. He can probably continue producing but obviously not like he is right now

Of course. I do however see him as a guy that can score 15-20 over a full season because of his talent but most of it due to his desire.

 

[red devil]

Didn’t he play in the US at the collegiate level?

Yeah he played at Providence

 

[Riddick412]

Right and losing every game the rest of the season will help that? Doubt it.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Sportsnet just interviewed my longtime hero number #12

Crap I missed it, I was getting a drink

What did he say

 

[JianYang]

The Harvey panarin meme continues....

 

[Runner77]

Got f***ed because he shouldn't have been fighting.

Hard to tell him not to when it's part of his game. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the equation.

 

[dinodebino]

I’m enjoying the game. Wonder if Dach got hurt at the end there when he got clocked.

 

[Mrb1p]

Why is Desharnais Not in a Habs jersey?How did the scouts miss this Man mountain in our own backyard?

Hes not very good and he was like a triple overager in the NCAA

 

[ReHabs]

Oh look big mouth Eric on Sportsnet Mr I don't know anything but I'll still talk

Arpon Basu was even worse on TSN. Who decided to give these bums screen time?

 

[sampollock]

Bob Staffuer what a loser

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

So many of you lack long term vision it's sad

I'm capable of cheering for the Habs to win when I watch them play, and when they lose I'm perfectly happy because I know it's good for long term success. It's a win/win

I'm convinced the people cheering to lose every game are just watching box scores, if you are going to Habs games or even watching all of them there is no way you are cheering against them all the time

 

[Riddick412]

In order for it to be like betting your house, the Habs would have to be the Cup favorite this year and throw the season lol

Just trying to explain how ridiculous it is to bet on 7.5% odds.

Yes..? It will?

I watch every game, that is precisely why I cheer for the loss. This team is the most unlikable Ive ever seen. So many boring bad players that seeing them lose brings me joy.
