GDT: Game 80: Habs vs Leafs, April 12th, 7 PM | CBC, SN, TVAS

[negative77]

Good to keep a clean sheet over two periods. I'm happy with a 0-0 and OT.

 

[JimBoKW]

This team is cooked. Gonna get swept in round 1. Despite the great seasons by Suzuki, Hutson, and Caufield, I’ve never felt like a Habs team was as overmatched heading into the playoffs quite like the one playing in front of us right now. They seem banged up and exhausted. Might be better to miss, honestly, rather than risk major injuries to our guys for an exercise in futility when they have nothing left like this.

There's the spirit! You should suggest that to them ! Why the hell do you watch?

 

[windycity]

Neither team seems to be looking for a W. Habs even less so.

What? They're both playing hard and fast

 

[Kimota]

He's doing a LIDL Hal Gill. Trying to lay on the ice and do the octopus

It's weird because he is supposed to be a basic defensive stay at home D but everytime I watch him on the PK, he is running around like a headless chicken instead of doing the basic covering the right side as a right shooting D. Are the D coaches telling them to do this?

 

[No More Subban]

Next goal wins

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

And Guhle doesnt have to drop them.

Guhle's not going to say 'talk to my friend X.'

 

[sheed36]

If we were playing take a shot every time the Habs got a shot I'd have to cheat and take extra shots just to get a little buzz on da go.

 

[Rapala]

This team is frustrating. This is the game we should have played against Ottawa and we'd have had a chance in the third.
Not having a three goal lead might be an advantage for us this time.

Ghule needs to gain some muscle size in the summer

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

At least people are seeing how much this team needs in terms of upgrades ?

There's just too many weaknesses. The 2nd line is a complete mess. That will probably be rectified by next season. I expect Evans to fill in for Dvorak next season with Dach and Newhook on the same line so hopefully they draw more favourable matchups. As for the defence, Savard is thankfully gone. Hopefully Reinbacher makes the team. But they still need another top 4 D but it's hard to properly determine without seeing what they have next season with the natural changes to the D core

 

[Mrb1p]

Guhle's not going to say 'talk to my friend X.'

Probably not because Guhles Guhle, but in a vaccuum.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Let's be honest. They wouldn't hold the second WC if they didn't have balls. They'd be in the basement with this roster. They lack experience and manpower still.

Yeah, but I'm trying to manifest the comeback by questioning their balls.

To hopefully see a good team eventually. This ain’t it. It’s not just one game either.

 

[Justin11]

2 periods and not even 10 shots. Hopefully they pick it up offensively in the 3rd.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Newhook reminds me Jiri Sekac... bad decision with the puck every f***ing time !

 

[teamfirst]

I know the shot clock...but this has been a really even game. Not a lot of room out there for either team.

Completely agree with you,

Don’t watch then - you won’t have to complain

Umm if we played like this sens would have goals

 

[tazsub3]

We're lucky to be tied, let's get the first one!

On one part the shots on goal are ugly but shot attempts are more on Habs side . To me that is a clear indication they holding their sticks harder and stressing.
That is part of the learning experience for a young team.This why you want to be in the mix , so they learn from that

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Probably not because Guhles Guhle, but in a vaccuum.

You have an agenda here and you're going to stupid lenghts to try to justify X being in the lineup. It's silly.

 

[electron58]

I wish Xhekaj was playing. And I really don't give a shit if it bothers posters in here to talk about it.

I'm not religious, but


" amen "

 

[holy]

Man I’m ok with the Gionta special at this point. Just hit the f***ing net

Am I the only one that would just miss wide than to hit the goalie in the crest?

 

[Mrb1p]

Hes getting there. Hes much stronger than last year already. Now hes bullying fools around with his hitting.

People forget hes 22.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Don’t watch then - you won’t have to complain

I’ll watch whatever I want, thanks.

 

[Canadienna]

Imagine Newhook's hustle with Laine's shot.

And Slafkovsky's size...
