GDT: Game 6: New Jersey Devils vs Montreal Canadiens: 10/24/23 7:15pm EST TSN2, RDS(HD), TSN 690

[Miller Time]

Pretty impressive...
Devil's are clearly better, but we're not making it easy for them.

Losing 1 top 6 & 2 top 4 players this early in the year and yet maintaining this level of compete is impressive work by the coaching staff going all the way back to camp.

It's far from perfect, the PP in particular is atrocious, but it's impressive nonetheless.

Team could easily be in free fall already

 

[Ezpz]

Whole team looks like they've never played together ever before

 

[Natey]

Lobe Toffoli.

Weak goal though.

 

[morhilane]

If they want to focus developing Pearson and Anderson, send down Slaf for him to play with Roy and Andersson. We are treating him as if he's a bottom 6 grinder instead of a 1st OA. Cooley is getting a million minutes a night and is stapled next to Schmaltz and Keller on the PP to boost his confidence offensively.

There is the Ducks way with Carlsson: play them only against weak teams.

 

[admiralcadillac]

The penalties continue

Yes Marty you have to own this

Why?

 

[Hannibal]

Why Anderson tries to dangle all the time now? Lol

 

[the]

Surprised the score is only 2-1. The floodgates will open soon.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Why?

Most are stupid and its been an issue since he arrived

 

[le_sean]

Why Anderson tries to dangle all the time now? Lol

Because he’s the dumbest player in the NHL.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Surprised the score is only 2-1. The floodgates will open soon.

They would if the idiot Ruff would have lines that make sense.

 

[The Great Weal]

Anderson should just stick to grinding instead of the skilled game. Guy is a p***y along the boards. He should be dumping it in and beating the dman with his speed and size if he had any tenacity whatsoever.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Anderson trying to deke by using L1 + Left on the right stick but forgot that his deke stats are only 15

 

[Miller Time]

Bad time for a phantom call

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Bad time for a phantom call

Of course. That's is the NHL's way of ensuring a NJ victory.

 

[domiwroze]

Bad time for a phantom call

Bettman would disagree

 

[OnTheRun]

Why Anderson tries to dangle all the time now? Lol

He reinvented himself as the finesse pony.

 

[Andrei79]

Anderson should just stick to grinding instead of the skilled game.

He's not that good of a grinder, due to the fact he's not that good at cycling the puck. He's at his best on the rush. Every time he looks like he's improved, he regresses for like 5 games after that. Don't know what to think about him, as I think his size and strength is needed on this team. Xhekaj can't be the only one who can step up. At the same time, he's a tough player to put in a lineup since he doesn't gel with anyone.

 

[zx81]

Our first line is terrible right now.
Separate CC from Suzuki damn it.

 

[FLHabs]

Is there a team with worse hand-eye coordination than the Habs? How many pucks just easily go through their legs or sticks like they weren't even there? How many 50/50 loose pucks they're not able to recover? It's crazy

 

[Seven7]

I'm tempted to believe CC won't score 30 this year.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Report habs refused a 1st for Anderson last deadline .

An OHL first pick perhaps

 

[Tyson]

He's not that good of a grinder, due to the fact he's not that good at cycling the puck. He's at his best on the rush.

If Hughes gets a chance to move him he should do it

 

[The Great Weal]

Our first line is terrible right now.
Separate CC from Suzuki damn it.

Someone zapped all the smarts and skill from Suzuki, guy is a defensive specialist right now

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Even if Slaf has improved, I would really like to hear HuGo explain with more detail why they can't send him down. Play him with Roy on the other wing and see his confidence get a boost. He'll also learn from a high IQ offensive player at the same time.

I was more open to the idea of him being up when Dach was here. I think it actually would’ve worked.

But now? Yeah… I think I’d send him down.
