Pre-Game Talk: Game 82: Canadiens v. Canes, 4/16/25 @ 7PM

[That Habs Fan]

Why is this kind of disrespectful crap tolerated? Thankfully I won't see it again.

Savard is playing terribly. It's not his fault he's in the lineup.

Yeah...not sure how I never noticed said poster is such a clown. I'm sure I'll get a warning or something for saying that but c'est la vie.

Anyway, seeing who's sitting for Carolina, if we lose I may never watch hockey again.

 

[Yukon Cornelius Habs]

lol so you admit he's terrible, but because I didn't word it a way you like I'm the bad guy. Hilarious

Oh come on, we know you’re the bad guy for many more reasons than just this!

 

[Team_Spirit]

These last 6 games did me in ngl. God bless Monty & Doby for holding the fort and stealing 7 points.

Where are my Habs?? Please show up.

Ghg ~~~~ rare hoes mad for good luck

 

[Habs10Habs]

No surprise. You have to go with your #1 for this game.

 

[The Great Weal]

You just know Kotkaniemi will have the game of his career and pull up the 4 finger celebration

 

[Habs]

Oh come on, we know you’re the bad guy for many more reasons than just this!

I put down Savard too harshly now I'm on another person's ignore list

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If the canes scratch those players, no excuses not to get a point tonight

Canes have also not been doing well lately. 1-4-1 in the last 6.

The habs have not lost in regulation at home in their last 11 games. 9-0-2 in that span.

 

[Habaneros]

You guys think Molson gave Dundon the 20$ he spent for KK's bonus so Canes can sit all of their top stars so Habs improve their chances to win?

I think Carolina really regret the offer sheet to be honest.
What they thought they might get , never happened.
Then ended up with a 30 pts a yr player

The guys playing thier very first nhl game will be flying I imagine but if we can't manage to get atleast a point then we don't deserve it in my opinion. It's time to show up and make things happen

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

I've heard a gossip Patrick-E-Roy hates Habs since a long time and he'll do everything the Isl to lose. Let's say he will not push his team to win. He might sit his best players too.

But Carolina, their interest is to make Habs win or lose. Dundon still hates Habs for the Aho hostile offer?
There is the theory If Habs takes the Caps it miht be a fast round won by the Caps. They will be rested and more dangerous next round. If Caps meet the BJ it might be a tough and long serie.

 

[The Great Weal]

Habs better not approach this game any differently. Canes can easily have their own version of RHP/Belzile torching us and they've been crap lately which means they are due to snap out of it.

 

[Rapala]

In such a crucial duel, every decision counts, and it is precisely Martin St-Louis's that has caused a stir this morning.
Despite the electrifying debut of young Ivan Demidov, who collected a goal and an assist in his first NHL game on Monday, the Canadiens head coach refuses to shake up his hierarchy.
The 19-year-old Russian will remain on the second power play unit, while the first wave, which has been ineffective for two weeks (1 for 17), will remain intact.​

We may not get a PP opportunity if we aren't forcing the pace Carolina are very disciplined.

Anthony Martineau in his segment with Marinaro on the radio said that the Habs need to be ready to "manger d'la bande" tonight. He said that maybe the Canes' NHL player won't go all in, but their young players and the call ups will. And even if they are coming from a lower level, they can be dangerous if Habs don't go all in.

Young players always have something to prove and mostly playing for contracts, even if it's for an AHL deal... Definitely not to take this one lightly !!

 

[Rapala]

This board is always a bipolar mess, but this season we stepped our game up and clearly cut back on our meds.

Truthfully the fans aren't any more bipolar than the team has been when all is said and done.

 

[The Great Weal]

Also unless there's an injury, I don't think Xhekaj will play anymore this season

They're going to play loose with no pressure, it's the opposite of the Habs.

Worst thing to happen is if Canes score first.

Kills the crowd, makes Habs players even more nervous.

 

[sampollock]

BACK it up guys

 

[Rapala]

So I'm the only one that dreams of Malaysian and Japanese girls, but they are nurses, and I'm a hurt soldier?

In that scenario you are likely a POW.

Yooooooooo , super rare one , I'm saving it for 20 years of good luck

Extremely dangerous. If it was against full Canes, they’d come out like shot out of a cannon. Are they gonna pull back on intensity?

 

[Yoor]

I'd be tempted to keep Laine on PP1, but bring him on after we have solid possession in zone since he's a goddamn nightmare on the zone entries with his softness on the boards and complete lack of hands.

Fair point but can someone explain to me why our zone entries involve Laine lately? Suzuki will bring it in and leave it for Laine on the left side and 4 out of 5 times he then coughs it up with a bit of pressure from the other team. Is he not doing what he is supposed to be doing on that set play? or is it just a shitty set play? Please change that either way coach...Caufield also seems to bumble the puck right after zone entries lately for some reason...they are having a tough time setting up in the o zone as a result.

Strike is over guys, strike is over!!!!
