GDT: Game 70: St. Louis vs St. Louis - Tue, Mar 25, 8pm Edt. | TSN2, RDS, Victory+, Matrix-MW

[Scintillating10]

Habs 8-1-4 in last 13. Need a big win. Keep the roll going.

 

[Essenege]

So yeah, 6 games winning streak

Nashville twice
Chicago
Anaheim
Vancouver
Minnesota

And in the last 2 wins against Nashville and Chicago looks like it wasn’t a commanding performance at all.

 

[Tuggy]

Gotta have a better start. 3rd period comebacks are fun and exciting, but I'd rather not have to rely on that too much.

 

[Lshap]

Here's the breakdown of Habs' total GF and GA by period:

1st Period: 59 GF / 69 GA
2nd Period: 72 GF / 75 GA
3rd Period: 70 GF / 75 GA

Overall, our numbers are mid-pack. Notable exception is the 1st period, where we give up the 7th most goals in the league. If it seems like the Habs are always fighting from behind, it's because it's true. The 1st period is their weakest.

Bad feeling tonight , Blues are coming in hot , hope we get a point at least

I'm feeling the other way around, I believe MTL are going to get a statement game.

5-2

Caufield x2

 

[The Real Timo]

Sounds like Montanbo in goal... Boys better score some goals.

Blues have won 6 straight and that is impressive but the teams they beat weren't exactly world beaters. Habs can win this game

This team loves to come back if they are down and blowing leads if they are up.

Never a dull moment.

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... agreed with Roy on one thing - we don't need Toronto

Scary week! I know they control their own destiny but I think they’re going to need help (losses) from other teams to keep their spot.

Yeah, that's predictable. They have a b2b coming and they weren't going to give dobes 2 of the 3.

It's the decision to start him on Saturday which I thought was unnecessary.

 

[expy]

7-3 St-Louis

 

[Habssince89]

Feeling like Slafkovsky is going to keep rolling after playing well against the Avs.

Struble will likely be extra motivated with Guhle in the rearview, and savard getting the veteran bias.

Monty just needs to be solid. The team isn't and shouldn't be looking at him like Price.

 

[Trabdy2]

Every game is gonna be a huge game from this point on. A game against another team fighting for their playoff lives.

Not sure I like the Montembeault start. I feel like he's been letting some weak goals in lately and the team has found ways to cover for him. I think he's given us a really good performance this season, but I think there's a mental fatigue coming into play now with all the games he's played.

 

[sampollock]

need 2 points not 1

 

[BLONG7]

We have 13 playoff games left................every single one of them, is a playoff type game.
We need points..........

 

[Tyson]

need 2 points not 1

Yeah getting tired of OT losses

At this time of the year it's often as hard to beat bottom teams than top teams. Top teams are in playoffs preparation mode and let's avoid injuries mode. Anyone who think Avs gave it all against us are delusional they played maybe 10 minutes.

 

[vokiel]

7-3 St-Louis

Yikes, I think it'll be closer... 5 - 4 St. Louis... regular time loss.

 

[OldCraig71]

4-2 Montreal

Anderson
Gallagher
Caufield
Suzuki (EN)

 

[Benstheman]

Now is the time to steal a game Monty.

5-2 Habs.

Avs are riding a high and were steamrolling on that eastern trip. I mentioned in that GDT if the habs pushed the pace, they could back into that game because the avs were playing their 3rd game in 4 nights... but I didnt say that when it was 4-1 in the 3rd.

The Habs were just doing what they have done for a while.... blowing leads and overcoming defecits

But yes, I think some people are putting too much weight on schedule strength. The habs made their biggest push back in late December and January which was supposed bury them for the year.

 

[sampollock]

4-3 habs in ot AGAIN

 

[Habssince89]

5-2 Habs
