Barron and Harris out, better throw Guhle in whether he's ready or not

Yeah.. doesn't work that way lol

People really think our medical staff is just straight up up to NO good eh?? Lol wow

 

[Canadienna]

All the lols.

Look it just seems suspicious to me that Guhle was clearly thrown back in while still injured last time, then had to miss time, and now he's being thrown in straight from non contact to playing.

And yeah, I absolutely believe that injuries on the rest of the roster puts extra pressure on others to play through injury.

[MarkovsKnee]

Would like the lines to be;

RHP - Suzuki - Anderson
Ylonen - Drouin - Gurianov
Hoffman - Tierney - Pitlick
Pezzetta - Belzile - Richard

Matheson - Savard
Edmundson - Kovacevic
Guhle - Wideman

Montembeault
Allen

I have no idea how we keep picking up points with this lineup. Almost came back to beat Vegas. Took Carolina to a shootout. Only team that slapped us down recently was f***ing Anaheim.

 

[Team_Spirit]

4-1 Habs.

Rangers acquire former superstars on their last legs and it backfire, same old story.

 

[expy]

5-2 Rangers.

3 early goals within the first 7 minutes, then slow burn.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The kid genuinely loves the game so much. It must really suck for him to have to miss so much time.

I hope that means no more Ozempic commercials

It means there will be more Ozempic commercials, guaranteed.

Habs dropped their 4th game in a row, a 4-3 shootout loss to the Canes. This was their first game back after after a 7-day road trip to the US west coast, where they won 1 game and lost 3.

The game against the Canes was also Mike Matheson Bobblehead Night. And no, his nickname is not "RONA".

Turns out he does have a nickname courtesy of Mike Hoffman.



Matheson/ Madison, what's in a name? Close enough. And so, everyone now calls him "Billy" in the Habs dressing room:

Matheson has been sizzling since his return from injury and has shown why Hughes was so adamant about acquiring him. He scored 8 points in 9 February games (good enough for a share of the Molson Cup, whatever that thing stands for), while displaying a lot of moxy in his play.

He just seems to be getting stronger and faster the more games he plays.

If you're looking for speed, he's got it:

Physical dominance? Yes!

Scoring prowess? Naturally.

Not to be outdone, Captain Nick has found his groove again, amassing 7 points in his last 8 games.

However, he was held scoreless against the Canes. That's when we found out what it takes to stop him ...

Perhaps inspired by the performances of his teammates, Michael Pezzetta is also coming into his own, even if he's not a top line player. With only 8:28 minutes of playing time, he managed a goal and an assist against the Canes.

But wait, there's more.

There was this nifty aerial display against Carolina that thwarted a golden scoring opportunity for them:

Pezzetta may sometimes fly under the radar, given his limited ice time and bottom 6 role. However, he's noticeable in other ways.

We've all seen his fashionista side, when he arrives at the Bell Centre or any other arena, or is coming out of an aircraft or a bus.

He'll go the extra mile to express his personality.

He can also handle himself when fighting but, there's another thing you can't help but notice.

That's right, Pezzetta is a member in good standing of the Follicular HOF all thanks to a spectacular flow.

The last time we had a Capillary Maven on the team, he used his flow in suave motions that produced airs of grandeur, which invited a breeze like the ones from a dramatic movie scene.

So all of it begs a couple of questions.

For one, is there such a thing as having too much flow? Someone should ask Marty ...

Let's take another look at that whipping hair that slapped Marty in the face, but in slo-mo.

Essentially, why go with the flow when you can go with the overflow.

Which brings us to our second question. Who flaunted it best?

And finally, the Rags. They'll be in the playoffs, they made a couple of big name acquisitions at the trading deadline (what else is new) and they're likely to get bounced yet again in the post-season.

For now, let's see how they hold up against the onslaught of no-quit buzz saws from a decimated team.


LINEUPS TBA

epic GDT! lol
thx

 

[1909]

Geez. The Hockey Ops department has a better chance to help the Habs climb back into a playoff spot than their actual line-up.

More talent and grit for sure.

The kid genuinely loves the game so much. It must really suck for him to have to miss so much time.

By the way, where are Slaf and Evans ?

 

[1909]

I just hope Guhle is really 100% healthy.

Has it ever occurred to you that it's the players themselves asking and begging to be put back in over "they just threw him back out there I can't believe the negligence!" ..?
They dont just throw you out there because "we don't have dough bodies so tough, injury or no injury you're playing"
If the guy can't go then he doesn't GO, you call someone up or you play 5 D
But they're not just grabbing guhle in an arm sling and forcing him to play like..
If the kid is playing, it's because he told THEM "skip, I can go tonight if you need me"

I dont want to argue, but no, I dont think it should be up to the players. It can't be, it needs to be up to medical staff and the hockey ops people together.

Players will almost always want to risk it, it's up to the staff to reign them in.

Anyways, back to game talk.

 

[The Real Timo]

Yeah.. doesn't work that way lol

I think that. 3 years in a row of absolutely terrible injury streaks supports that. Players coming back sooner than they should... possibly not well conditioned... I don't know. Where there is smoke... there is fire. And there is smoke.

 

[The Real Timo]

.

Cole ain't the only one:

He must be watching Chris Wideman and trying to soak up every move.

 

[Loop25]

Gosh, with all those injuries I wouldn't be surprised if they call for fans' help in one of the intermissions. 'If anyone in the building has played pro or semi-pro hockey, please come down to the locker room, we have a free slot on the defense till the end of the game'.

 

[Colezuki]

For those saying that you love how much there around the team, I think the difference is these guys dont have families yet. Once they settle down they'll likely spend more time with there families, right now they all live together so if the option is to go to the practice rink and chill or hang out at home alone id go hang out at the rink too. Once they get families they likely see it as an opportunity to help out at home or see there kids

 

[Rapala]

Awesome @Runner77
Did Pezz get benched for a while after his hair episode?

 

[The Real Timo]

Would like the lines to be;

RHP - Suzuki - Anderson
Ylonen - Drouin - Gurianov
Hoffman - Tierney - Pitlick
Pezzetta - Belzile - Richard

Yeah that's an entirely different can of worms lol
Medical technology has not reached the heights of "being able to tell if a player is lying" lol

Veut faire qqc pout les partisans? Perd chaque de t'games, s'ti!!! Tabar....!

Incase anyone is wonder Kovacevic says he and his teammates want to play for the fans.

Response is want to do something for the fans ? Lose each game + swear words



On a side note if I can. Anyone every buy an Amazon return pallet ?

 

[Rapala]

Barron and Harris out, better throw Guhle in whether he's ready or not

I'm not too worrted about Guhle he did finish the game he got hurt in and there is no possible way they would play him if he wasn't fit.

 

[Habs]

I just hope Guhle is really 100% healthy.

we have an amazing medical/training staff, trust them and the process sir.

Where is Dach anyways? I thought he had the poopies and he's been gone for 3 weeks?

 

[The Real Timo]
