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

[26Mats]

Laine is no longer fast enough to do the end to end rushes.

He used to do them. He may have been affected by all the knee injuries.

 

[Riddick412]

Much better period, but another bad first period and wasted opportunities on the PP will cost them. I can't see them coming back in the third as there's some "game management" to be had.

 

[The Great Weal]

I want to dog on Laine for that but Nuke is just an animal. Slaf needs to become that type of player.

 

[Favster]

Laine so smooth. Looking like Elvis Stoyko out there

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Avs are not even taking this game seriously, just playing around at this point. Someone also needs to get Newhook to just put his shots on net, missing is the worst result for every rush.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I'm so fed up with Newhook and I think so is Marty. Guy just skates and misses shots. Does absolute f*** all besides that. Give me my picks back.

One line team baby + the inspired, offensive performances of some vets from time to time

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Play Hutson Carrier Jackeye Struble

Bench Matheson and Savard

Both useless

 

[HabSgt]

Welp no matter what happens in the third NO SHUTOUT suck it Avs.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Would be nice for a reporter to ask MSL why he never benches Matheson, or Savard for being dumb.

Need the regular season to end already.

Answer seems obvious, hence the question being moot.

 

[vokiel]

Passes not tape to tape makes me sad...

 

[Miller Time]

Moving your head backward when something is moving toward it is a natural reflex that you'll do 100% of the time without thinking about it.

Nope. He suckered Matheson in... moved in, face first and started pulling back before the elbow was anywhere near. Great dive.

 

[David Suzuki]

What a flop

Worst I have seen in a while. Beyond embarrassing for him especially for such a good player.

 

[Andrei79]

Newhook creates chances every shift...

It would be nice if he could start doing something with them.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We actually had a much better 2nd period. Too bad our PP is shit.

 

[Redux91]

That was our last chance to make it 3-2 but Mike f***ed our PP chance with selfishness

Gonna be way too hard to score 2 in the 3rd vs these guys sigh
OT would be a dream

 

[sheed36]

The Avs have been the far better team but this game could easily be tied if the Habs hadn't pissed away these PP chances.

 

[Subban signed e5]

Matheson is just a dumb hockey player, I can not wait until we move on from him. He drives me absolutely nuts.

Evans scoring dried up

It sure did...

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Nope. He suckered Matheson in... moved in, face first and started pulling back before the elbow was anywhere near. Great dive.

Yeah, he should get into professional wrestling or acting when he’s done playing. That elbow from Matheson wasn’t close to landing.

 

[le_sean]

Evans scoring dried up

Yeah half a season ago.

A 4th liner through and through that was benefitting from an abnormally high shooting percentage.

 

[CharleyHorse]

Laine, skate you f***ing lazy mf'er. Holy SHIT man!

Not lazy, I don't think skating is his thing. Has played better of late.

 

[No More Subban]

That 5on3 was their biggest chance. They blew it

 

[austin316]

Matheson is an anchor on this team. Yes, he can skate and has speed, but he uses his teammates so poorly. If he’d just make the simple pass and simplify his game he’d be much more effective. Instead, he’s a massive liability

 

[BullLund]

Newhook creates chances every shift...

I'd like to see him matched with linemates who can match his pace. 2nd line is a weird mix right now.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Evans scoring dried up

Quicker than my ex wife.
