GDT: Game 79: Habs @ Sens - Friday, April 11, 7 PM EDT | SN, RDS

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Let's clinch this so I can finally unclench.

We've been trying to clinch for several weeks, so I imagine whatever comes out of there afterward will be rock solid. Like quartz solid. Hope you don't bleed.

 

[Natey]

Hughes needs to not bring in players like Pezzetta going forward. He hits but you can find players who hit but actually can play a somewhat regular shift.

I don't think Pezz has been anywhere near as bad as many people here say, but he's also a wasted space because he doesn't have the same fire he once did years ago when he was trying to crack into the league.

 

[Natey]

He was a full participant the last practice meaning he’s fine.

And yeah, Marty would. He thinks a win means his lineup was perfect.

Well that doesn't make sense because we won with Xhekaj and he came out.

Because Savard was given a rest day and was labeled day-to-day. That was also a rare back-to-back with a long flight.

Still changed the winning lineup, twice.

[Miller Time]

Consistency and logic need not apply when throwing around hot takes, you know that lol

 

[Naslundforever]

I’ll take this as a no..

Toronto Demidov is better than injured Armia

 

[Skip Bayless]

Oh good. So Heineman is mad he’s not playing which means he’s a full-go and it’s on this coach never willing to make a change to a lineup just because they won. Lunacy. Pezzetta over Heineman. f***ing stupid

If Heineman is good to go, this is a stupid move by MSL. Even moreso at this point of the season. Why would you favor a guy who gives you 3 to 5 minutes a game? I hope Hughes talks to him.

 

[Lshap]

Tkachuk not projected to play tonight for Ottawa.

I assume Montembeault starts tonight, Dobes tomorrow?

Okay. Injury but okay. Whatever you say.

The guy has Heineman, Demidov and Roy available and he plays Pezzetta. But sure

 

[Natey]

Tkachuk not projected to play tonight for Ottawa.

Monty was confirmed hours ago, I believe. Makes sense since Marty and the boys probably want 7th.

Friedman just said our fanbase is "Orgasmic" about Demidov right now on national tv.

The kiss of death. It's over bros

Well... a little too close to home, frankly.

 

[The Great Weal]

I think he's not a full-go. No one plays Pezzetta unless they have to.

This very well could be Tony talking out of his ass, but being pissed off that you’re not playing is most likely because you’re good enough to play.

Someone needs to remind Marty that Pezz wasn’t even good enough to crack the lineup when we were bottom 5 in the league. Now that we’re playoff bound he’s irreplaceable.

 

[waitin425]

I'm watching the Masters right through until puck drop. Probably going to get to watch Scheff finish 18. I swear this was timed perfectly. Same applies tomorrow!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Also they will want to give him at least one on ice training. Would be a good time to do it Saturday or Sunday while they are in Toronto

He'll likely skate the morning skate both Saturday and Monday with the team. Montreal doesn't practice on Sundays.

 

[windycity]

Just win baby

At the very least, against the Sens, dress 7D with Arber. There’s no reason to start Pezzetta.

He's not wrong.
As someone who wasn't around for the 93 cup win I'd have to say this is the 2nd most excited I've ever been as a Habs fan, only behind the Lehkonen goal that put us into the finals.

 

[Team_Spirit]

I think it's 200 now and Pezz is at 198
