GDT: GAME 66: BRUINS @ HABS | Not so cool beans | Thurs. March 14, 2024, 7PM ET -- RDS, TSN2, TSN690, 98.5FM

I have a good feeling that we'll really take it to Boston win or lose. Monty will now be challenged to hold serve against Primeau's performance last game. This is the start of some great internal competition in what I'm hoping we will refer to as the pre-Fowler era.

Roy is another player that might let us steal a W against Boston, as he's starting to put up points. Secondary scoring is starting to emerge among our current players, and I'm interested to see how Caufield can benefit from being able to play with Dach and Roy on the second line next year if needed. Roy might not end up a first line talent on pure production, but like Toffoli he can complete any kind of top6 line and make it work.

Slafkovsky seems to be more physical lately, and I bet he's going to try and bring his A game for this one. That game got out of hand last time, but we kept a close game against boston for a bit. The real challenge with our squad is consistency and playing 60mins. Should be fun to watch.

I’d love to see Slaf Pittsnogle McAvoy

all tank aspirations are suspended vs Bruins, Leafs, [insert personal list here, mine is Canes, Panthers, Lightning]

Mine is Canes-Lightning

Bruins = respect
Leafs = pity

This coach makes me scratch my head. How do you take out Struble and Pezzetta against the Bruins of all teams? I just don’t get Marty

Struble was meh last game (season understandably catching up to him) and Pezzetta was invisible

"We won't let the other team dictate who we play"

Or something like that.

Ylonen sucks, Harris sucks, so you're helping them.

Pezzetta sucks, too.

Sorry folks to hijack the thread...is there parking around there, walking distance and any restaurants you would recommend? The kid is sooo excited to take in the hockey meca rather than our crap a$$ Senators

Harris has been meh his whole career

The point is that these are typically physical matches and we took out two physical players.

Hey folks, I’m coming over here from the Ottawa side. I am bringing my 16-year-old boy from Ottawa to see Montreal for the first time. What time should I enter the building in order for him to get the full experience of seeing a game in Montreal? I’ve been filling his brain with the atmospheres way way better than we have here in Ottawa.

As soon as they open the doors.

LOLOLOL
Thank You @Runner77
That flying bear brings back some great memories.
I know McCagg takes a lot of heat on this board but he did come up with one of the great one liner's...

"You don't poke the bear you walk right up to it and punch it in the nose"

You can find meter parking on Blvd. Rene Levesque as of 6:30pm (no parking allowed before then during rush hour). Rene Levesque is the main east/west boulevard one street north of the Bell Centre.

If parked there, walk north along the side streets Bishop, Crescent, Stanley, Drummond to find plenty of restaurants. There are also restaurants next to the Bell Centre, but they're usually packed.

Station des sports was amazing, but this was like 16 years ago. Corner of Fort and Ste Catherine Street, so nice and close, but I'm not sure how busy that area is as I was always walking around there.

MSL in all his wisdom. Sigh. Struble had a difficult game. After being rock solid for like 1/2 the season and he gets to sit for harris. Unreal.

rookie defenseman sits for sophomore defenseman on a bad team in a busted season. why are we acting like is a big deal?

 

[Runner77]

How did these guys get to attend practice? Must be related to one of the team’s bigwigs.

That atmosphere isn't really here right now... but probably a half hour before game time if you want to see the warm-ups and stuff like that

 

[Team_Spirit]

Pezz had 9 hits in his last game vs Boston and 11 in the last 2 games.

Let's sit him to play a 33 years old UFA that would clear waivers.

It's all so tiresome

If you chat up Kirby, you can skip the next drill.

Yes there's parking across the street from the main entrance and the only city with more restaurants than Montreal in North America is NYC.

There's a bunch in front of the building but they full up fast so go early and expect to wait. Or go to Ste.Catherines street which is a five minute walk

They had to double shift Suzuki last game because they are short on NHL centres.. Pezz sitting for White was always going to happen when White was ready to return.

Take Pearson or RHP out, they haven’t done anything all season.

They could take any of them out or do whatever, I don't think Pezzetta is of any value either. I could really care less about what they do in the bowels of the titanic. But White coming in to play makes total sense.

9 hits in under 9 minutes of play last game against Boston. I feel like that is far more useful than whatever it is Pearson does.

It's still all throwaway to me.. none of those guys matter in the grand scheme of things, so Marty can do whatever he wants to do with those guys. He could decide not to dress a 4th line and I really wouldn't care.
