GDT: Game 69 (snicker): Avalanche @ Habs, Saturday March 22nd, 7:00 pm | City, SNE, TVAS

[RationalExpectations]

Cause he's 7-0-2 since the break and Montreal is trying to make the playoffs?

You can t play him every game, he is Not Prime Price . He is already at 51 games that s a lot for him…

 

[Natey]

Laine is losing almost every puck. He and Savard should not be playing against fast teams, period.

Disagree.

But Laine's ES role should be reduced.

No idea why he's not on the PP for the full 2 minutes. He doesn't move so he's not tired and it's 90% of his effectiveness.

 

[Whitesnake]

Then bring up Engstrom who could actually help us every night.

Recency bias. Engstrom wouldn't be able to follow that pace either. Him scoring a highlight doesn't change that. Nobody from the Rocket could help right now. Reason why we had to make a move as small as it was.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Hope MSL is kicking trash cans and throwing shit around to wake the boys up.

 

[Miller Time]

Monty the only reason we aren't down 4 like the sens were the other night.

 

[Rapala]

Damn Suzuki saved a goal 3-0 if he doesn't get a stick on that one.
Unfortunately this is no time for a slump Cole.

 

[Kimota]

Can the refs get their heads out of their asses please

We've been saying that since the start of the season and their heads are still up their asses.

 

[Redux91]

What a f***ing pass by Drouin wow

 

[13 Black]

That was not a good first period. But that's ok. I'd rather the team finish strong than start strong and finish weak.

Colorado is one hell of a team but we can do this

 

[The Great Weal]

Watch out, the usual people will say he’s doing so many things on the ice and that we are too stupid to comprehend what exactly it is that he’s doing.

If we're not going to try him on the PK so he can become a forechecking monster that can play sound defensive hockey, he's just a waste of a roster spot. He's not even a 3rd liner until he can show that he can do that.

 

[Runner77]

He takes a lot of heat. But could you imagine how soft our lineup would be without him?

Less so since he’s been on beast mode. Plus the cap going up is making his AAV more digestible.

No need. They finished the period very strong and showed solid composure after the brutal first 10min.

 

[The Great Weal]

On a normal team, Monty plays 40-45 games all season. Him getting 60 games is just a recipe for disaster.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Hope MSL is kicking trash cans and throwing shit around to wake the boys up.

You think they're sleeping, or were just overwhelmed by a better quicker team that is on a serious roll right now?

 

[Shabs]

We still need size and speed

 

[LaP]

WTF? Erik Johnson is still playing?

Yes. He's now 57 years old and the oldest player to ever play in the NHL.

 

[le_sean]

Recency bias. Engstrom wouldn't be able to follow that pace either. Him scoring a highlight doesn't change that. Nobody from the Rocket could help right now. Reason why we had to make a move as small as it was.

But he’s done enough to warrant a few games and give Savard a break. He can’t possibly be worse. Trudeau too really. Sometimes you should reward a young player for having a great AHL season.

 

[zx81]

Ya. This game is too fast for him

He's a stay at home D. He left his position twice like an idiot. I don't understand how he forgot who he was.

 

[OldCraig71]

Wow, Colorado has some high-tempo offensive skills! If not for Monty this is 5-0 already. Our boys looked shocked on the bench but it was to be expected.

Don't quit and come out in the second ready to play.

 

[sheed36]

Brady Slafkovsky didn't last long it seems.

 

[Andrei79]

Then bring up Engstrom who could actually help us every night.

Engstrom should start by being a consistent and reliable AHL defender first.

 

[Habs10Habs]

You think they're sleeping, or were just outmatched by a better quicker team that is on a serious roll right now?

The first 10 mins they were off their game. It wasn't until the last part of the period where they picked it up.

 

[Yoor]

I still want to see Heineman on with Newhook and Laine

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Hope MSL is kicking trash cans and throwing shit around to wake the boys up.

I don't think msl is strong enough to throw Savard all around
