GDT: Game 78: Dead Wings @ Habs (the chicken wings edition) - Apr 8, 7 pm EST. | TSN2, RDS

Is there a reason we always suck in the 1st?

I posit that it's simply because we suck generally.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Pezzetta is going to have to tie this thing up.

Dont think he could tie his laces

I think thats Papa Savards job cause hockey isnt

 

[Kimota]

Struble's just a better player. Nothing more.

Maybe but Struble is just there. Jack bring another element to the line-up that is needed. It's like we know that Pitlick is better than Deslaurier but all NHL gms would take Deslaurier in their line-up over Pitlick.

 

[No More Subban]

We're really going to get to watch Demidov play for a game or two before the playoffs..

 

[Kennerback]

How does 25 shots in a period happen. Amazing.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Maybe partly, but note that the wings didn't stop moving their feet. Habs just stood there watching the play for most of it.

Definitely. Wings deserve the lead because they've been the better team by far.

But the puck luck isn't even a question of moving their feet. They were random spots where they just swung their sticks at random and the puck goes right to a teammate. That other teammate wasn't even moving. The puck just went to their stick.

 

[Redux91]

Kent still wants to add talent up front baby!

 

[OldCraig71]

We should forfeit the first period of every game. Kent not really giving many details as usual.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Dont think he could tie his laces

That's fine, as long as he ties the game for us.

 

[HabsForHire]

can we get demigod in here to start the 2nd

 

[yianik]

Damn, too bad last TSN broadcast.

 

[OnTheRun]

Is there a reason we always suck in the 1st?

Because our ability to play like complete ass and not suffer the consequence of it is second to none.

 

[DemidovSZN]

Struble is a better player, plays physical, hit. What xhekaj ‘’brings’’ isn’t much more.

 

[The Great Weal]

You just know Kent wanted to say that he wants to add a 2C this offseason but held back. Hell he even said he wanted to add talent up front so he couldn't completely shield the truth lol.

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

We lucky it's only 1-0. Outshot 23-5.

 

[BergevinBurner]

We're really going to get to watch Demidov play for a game or two before the playoffs..

IF we make the playoffs.

We just played one of our worst periods of hockey this season when the team has the chance to put the final nail in the coffin on the Wings season.

 

[Habs13]

Also for a new coach, MSL is very dinosaur in his approach on playing guys cause of what they did in the past. Armia and Savard should not play. And Matheson the least shifts possible.

Apparently Metheson played 32 minutes versus Nashville... that stat made me sick

 

[Seb]

At least now that the 1st period is over they can start scoring and win the game.

 

[Habs13]

Is there a reason we always suck in the 1st?

The coach.

 

[Habano]

Someone better do something about that hit by shitrot on our captain

 

[No More Subban]

Pretty good interview on TSN. We got some real answers. KH is the man

 

[HabbyGuy]

The team has won 5 in a row and have played a ton of hockey in a short period of time with this ridiculous schedule. The red wings are literally fighting for their season, they lose tonight they're for all intents and purposes done.

Not surprised one bit that the boys are gassed and Detroit is all over them.

I've seen Struble hit some players hard in the tough areas in the past few games. You making him seem like a vanilla non physical player is ridiculous. When is the last time Xhekaj hit someone hard? He can't skate. His physical presence is greatly hindered by that outside of fights and scrums where everyone is standing still.

 

[Kimota]

Struble is a better player, plays physical, hit. What xhekaj ‘’brings’’ isn’t much more.

Jack hits more and the intimidation factor is there.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Definitely. Wings deserve the lead because they've been the better team by far.

Yeah, they were getting good bounces & just whacking away. Everything to the net.

I actually feel like they didn't get 25 shots. A lot of them weren't good ones. The one they scored was their one big chance, but they were in our end more than we were in theirs.
