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

[HuGo Sham]

I would not be surprised to see Struble step up. I am actually surprised he isnt playing tonight unless injured he has been good lately. Plus..he throws the body around which we need and has a decent offensive brain.

struble's playing

 

[The Great Weal]

Armia really doesn’t look comfortable out there. Don’t see how you can scratch Kapanen.

Saw this comment on youtube and I hope it's true

"My Dad’s friend works at Warrior, and he said that they are rushing to get Ivan Demidov his gear because they want him to play on Friday, so there’s some insider info for ya"

Pretty exciting if it's true

 

[Kimota]

On the Habs goal Slafkovsky made an excellent forecheck, hit & puck steal to get it set-up. No points but the guy is a beast along the boards.

Caufield at net front picking up the rebound of a Matheson shot - who finally f***ing hit the net.- and picked up his 1st point in like a month.

A much more evenly played period.

The whole play CC played driven as f***. He was like f*** that shit, I'm Gallagher now.

 

[JimBoKW]

Evans doesn't win faceoffs anymore.

50%

 

[OldCraig71]

You can't play like that every game. They are desperate.

They are playing like the Western conference teams used to in the past.

 

[FLHabs]

Just caught up on the game and it's as ugly as the Nashville one. Not looking for excuses, but maybe they're still feeling the effects of the schedule. Glad it's 1-1, let's see if they can find some juice in the 3rd and finish off Detroit

 

[Kennerback]

The last few cup champs have won with this level of goalie. A strong top 6 and a stable defense are the key to success and not a 10 million dollar goalie.

You play well, Monty won’t lose it for you.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Demidov to the rescue.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Other teams out of town threads be like

f*** OFF ALRDY HABS come on

Love it

“They got Demidov? Sheeeeeiiiit….”

 

[HabSgt]

You can really tell the Habs are about to be good again, other teams' mods crashing the whole site to prevent anyone seeing us win.

 

[Leto]

I need to go make more chicken wings... this f***ing stresses me out... and when I stress out I eat.

Time to go to La Cage. We're getting chicken wings in the 3rd period...

 

[ahmedou]

Matheson-Carrier doens't work anymore... Marty, find a solution ASAP!!!

 

[sampollock]

Big game
Big period
Bigger drinks

 

[Kimota]

1-1 after 2. Good.

They should get on their knees and thank the Lord just for this.

 

[CaptainKirk]

Demidov to the rescue.

Will he somehow appear in the 3rd?

Monty made some good saves to hold us in

 

[Redux91]

Hope the redwings don't have much gas left, leaving it all in the first half of the game
Habs are a good 3rd period team.

Let's do what Habs do and bring that magic in the 3rd period

That's what I'm thinking too

Wings play in the 1st is unsustainable
And we're a good, great actually, 3rd period team

 

[Skip Bayless]

If the Wings played like this all season, they would be in a playoff spot. They are big and physical, but I admit not seeing them often all year. It might just be desperation, but they aren't giving us anything.

Habs are cooked. They run around too much and spend a lot of energy chasing pucks and on 50/50 battles.

"My Dad’s friend works at Warrior, and he said that they are rushing to get Ivan Demidov his gear because they want him to play on Friday, so there’s some insider info for ya"

If he actually already is on a plane, he arrives in Montreal tomorrow. Practices with Habs on Thursday then plays Friday against Ottawa.

Ahhhhhhhh......

 

[domiwroze]

So on friday, Armia should sit and rest his wrist before playoffs.

If we want to have a chance to win in PO, Armia has to be there and not just his shadow.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Will he somehow appear in the 3rd?

They’re going to parachute him from the rafters in the middle of a play.

“And here comes Demidov…”

 

[HuGo Sham]

The whole play CC played driven as f***. He was like f*** that shit, I'm Gallagher now.

he did well to battle Holl for that rebound

 

[Canadienna]

We're past the point of process over results.

Don't care how, just win it.
