GDT: Game 67: Sens vs Habs, Tuesday March 18th - 7 PM EDT | TSN2, RDS

[Lafleurs Guy]

BT will try bully us

Is he going to stand in front of the net imitating Hutson's head fakes again... that was really effective. Hutson's never been the same since.

Don't know about you, but I am sensing 100+ PIM.

 

[LaP]

Don't know about you, but I am sensing 100+ PIM.

For each player right?

 

[JadedRandom]

For each player right?

By the end of the first period.

 

[JianYang]

That's how I see it. We're right where I thought we'd be. Fighting for a spot on the outside of the bubble. Guys get to play in some meaningful games and that's good for development.

Next year it's a full run towards the postseason. That's the goal. This year? I just wanted a step forward and to be 'in the mix.' We've seen that happen here. After a terrible start, pretty much ALL our key players except Dach have progressed. Reinbacher's injury prevented him from joining us but I'm not too worried about him at this stage.

Next year Beck, Demidov. RB... maybe Roy and others will join the team. We've built a really good foundation and have guys like Hage and Fowler on the way at some point too. It's gonna be exciting times to be a Hab fan.

I was also excited about engstrom too although I haven't really kept up much with him over the last few months.

Farrell has turned interesting again too from the grave.

BT will try bully us

Doubt it, both Anderson and Xhekaj can lay a beating on him

 

[Guy Larose]

BT has been dodging X in the past games. He wants nothing to do with fighting him and usually picks his opponents carefully.

 

[Miller Time]

I agree but what does this roster have to do with coaching

The way the roster is playing is significantly impacted by the coaching, year over year.

We have both one of the youngest rosters and roster with the least turnover the last 2 seasons.

In the fall, vast majority of pundits and fans on this board felt the roster was bottom 5. The idea that internal progression & Laine would enough to see a big on ice improvment most laughed at.

Yet despite the major injuries to Laine, Guhle & Dach, Habs are firmly in WC contention with 16 games to go while icing the youngest & least experienced lineup most nights.

That doesn't happen without very good team cohesion and execution... ie coaching.

In unheated circumstances, BT shouldn't be fighting Xhekaj at all.

He's an impactful player for them, and Xhekaj isn't his match in terms of on-ice impact for us in spite of the fact that he's one of our 6 Dmen vs. BT being one of their 12 forwards.

But then again BT likes to play a tough guy role, so if he dodges Xhekaj when asked to step-up then that makes him a bit of a rat-type of player and goes against the persona that he tries to project.

But do what I say and not what I do, I guess?

 

[GrandmaCookie]

I’m EXCITED about this one!! What about y’all?? CAN YOU FEEL IT!!!

 

[Rapala]

How the f*** is Giroux at 62% on faceoffs? That is insane

The games I've seen him in he only took draws on his strong side.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He's got talent??? To fill hot dog orders maybe. You do need good hands for that.

The guy would clear waivers any day.

He definitely wouldn't,

 

[13 Black]

I feel like a 14 years old on the verge of having his first date while waiting for the game to start.

It's been a long time since i was that excited for a Habs game. Last time was in 2021 during the Covid playoffs.

 

[Rapala]

How good was Suzuki's 66 pts that season.

 

[vokiel]

He definitely wouldn't,

Definitely would, there are hundreds of Joshua Roy around the league.

The guy is completely overrated.

Where’s everybody hey yo

I think Arber relishes playing the villain vs ottawa and will be in Stutzle's face if he gets to match up against him. I expect very physical games from struble, X and Anderson tonight.
I assume the tickytac stuff will contingent on the score ...
on another note, it's always fun to ghost their board. Poverty franchise.
It's hysterical how much they're obsessed with Xhekaj

 

[Hacketts]

5 for Patty tonight.

When is the live thread back this is the 21st century

 

[13 Black]

Alright guys.....let's do this !!!

 

[vokiel]

When is the live thread back this is the 21st century

Maybe we have to wait for the 22nd century?

What would the biggest technical advance by then? My money is on artificial births.

God I hope Florian can make it to the show. Double the trouble.
