GDT: Game 82: Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Canadiens 4/16/24 TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

@donghabs98 , awesome GDT to finish off the year!

Thanks everyone for all the knowledge and entertainment you provided this season.

Now for the first time in my life. I'm hoping the Habs will lose. Please don't hold it against me.

Tonight's last game is the first game I'll be able to watch in over a week. I watched last night's highlights and was thrilled to see Hutson's confidence with the puck. The gifts are obvious; if he's half as motivated as Slafkovsky to learn the admin part of the job, he'll be something.

Can't wait to see game #2 for Hutson and the big debut for Mailloux!

For a team with chronic offensive problems, we seem to be building a roster with scoring coming from the D.

I'm not even lying when I'm saying that Barron and Matheson were much worst than Lane and Savard last night, Especially Matheson last night was an absolute joke.

Ok Montreal.. You did me a solid last night. Although I didn't like the manner in which you did it. Thanks for toying with my emotions. All I ask for tonight is to please stop putting your bodies in front of all our shots. I will say Hutson didn't look out of place. I never really heard much about him until yesterday. I know you were excited to see him go. He didn't disappoint. Looks like you have a good one

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Have fun tonight boys, but don't forget to do what's best for business in the end. This needs to be a regulation lost, do what you have to do to assure that.

Win the f*ckin game tabarnac, who cares 5OA / 6OA / 7OA it’s going to be a crapshoot after 1OA - it’s a wide open draft based on who teams “like”

My ex won a game-worn jersey exactly 10 years ago. Her seat was selected – she couldn't believe it! She (and my young son) were sent down to ice level with the other winners, each were given a number, and then the players skated out and found the fan with the matching number.

She ended up with Michael Bournival, probably the least desirable jersey. Still, she's got the certified game-worn #49 stored in an official Habs box, plus the video she took on her phone. You can see the players skating around her, including David Desharnais, who looked shorter than her. Cool experience! Hope yours is as good!

Agreed same caliber player at the draft, basically same odds for Celebrini.

Last night was wild one of the best game of the season. The intensity was great, Kovacevic was going out of his way to hit people and Anderson was actually trying.

Be glad Dach got hurt and Allen struggled with the 3 goalie situation because this team would be looking to draft like 13th rn.

I need to figure out a way to sneak in an octopus to the game. Maybe that will motivate those Red Wings to win in regulation this time. Sling shot that sucker on the ice

Yes they do it every year and im also going with my son tonight so hoping for the best but im sure theres plenty of families who would also like to win

Just throw anything on the ice at random times and give the team a delay of game penalty

They only let her take our son onto the ice because he was young. Normally, only the winner is allowed 'backstage'.

"Les fans vont-ils arrêter de jeter des objets sur la glace ?"

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Probably will not happen today, but would be fun to see Hutson and Mailloux together on the pp

 

[waitin425]

Probably will not happen today, but would be fun to see Hutson and Mailloux together on the pp

I'm looking forward to each of them anchoring a unit.....

Hutson - Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield - Celebrini
Mailloux - Dach - Newhook - Roy - Zegras

 

[Team_Spirit]

Mailloux was a watched man

 

[The Great Weal]

Anyone know who's sitting for Mailloux? I would have liked to see Reinbacher get a game as well to get a taste of the NHL.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

The most unlikely part of that is the Habs getting a pp

 

[Milhouse40]

My guess is they will go 7D and 11F tonight.....
All I care is to see Hutson on a PP

Was wondering why their fans get to delay the game like that last night in the 3rd period, twice no less? That crap should happen before the game starts, not during.

Anyhow, let's hope the boys play well in the last home game, and the last game of the season.
Really excited as to what next year will bring, with the addition of Dach and at least one good summer aquisition for up front in our top 6.
The kids on the back may not get rushed to the NHL but what a pleasant problem to have....

 

[Tyson]

So if Lane Hutson was 6'0 would he have been a top 5 pick or close to that?

 

[teamfirst]

Do the Habs really want to win, and by doing so fall 2 spots in the draft order (behind Arizona and Ottawa)?

I would think they are playing half the farm in the last game, to secure an even better draft pick. In situations like this, it’s probably better to think long term for the franchise.

Get your point but not a chance that players or managment thinks like that

 

[HabbyGuy]

I really wanted to have a game off of the tank - well this is the last tank game I'm cheering for in this rebuild, so let's tank this mother f***er one last time.

Yeah next year no more rooting for losses, it's going to be so refreshing. It's too sapping as a fan hoping for defeat. I can't do it anymore. I don't care if we have a difficult season next, but I sure as hell ain't hoping for it.
