GDT: GAME 9: HABS @ VEGAS | Vegas, baby! | Mon. Oct. 30, 2023, 10PM -- RDS, TSN2, TSN690, 98.5FM

[Redux91]

My fondest memory of the great Mark Stone was going pointless against the Habs for an entire playoff series, now that's Captain leadership right there.

I'll treasure that series win over Vegas forever honestly
And the Toronto one obviously (which still feels like it never sunk in that we actually did that lmao)

I've often wondered how Ottawa has managed to draft or trade for so many punchable faces. It started happening after they were so good and couldn't win it all. The funny thing is it isn't limited to players with coaches like DJ Smith and the Walrus we'd all like to wale on.

This guy never makes a mistake. Wins important fo. Scores. Enjoy him cause he’s gone march 1.

I’ve seen him make blind passes for turnovers. I hope he sticks around though, really like his game and how he fits in.

 

[Rapala]

Habs should win this one pretty easily.

Good God.
If Vegas takes the night off and we win we won't hear the end of it from the We Makin' the Playoff crowd.

Well obviously habs get outshot and trail, then they come back because D mobility when Vegas parks the bus to protect the lead and Ti-Coco scores.

I don't like West trip, puck drop is basically when I go to bed and this game looks like a nice setup.

Habs first versus (assistant) coach Ducharme since the fiasco season.
It's Suzuki 300th game against the team who drafted him.
It's also Monty's birthday.

From Arpon Basu’s article on The Athletic this morning:

One of a number of Phantom Calls it's getting very frustrating when they are now calling just about every stick on stick regardless if it's near the hands or not while letting blatant boarding calls go either unpunished or too mildly punished.

I'll treasure that series win over Vegas forever honestly
And the Toronto one obviously (which still feels like it never sunk in that we actually did that lmao)

It was a small bit of light during the dark times that were covid.

I'm getting ready to read a book real soon and will no doubt find my self ZZZZZZing not long after.

 

[Habs13]

His injury doesn't appear to be serious if they went on a road trip without calling up someone.

They didn't send down Lindstrom so no need to call anybody up.

 

[OldCraig71]

Good luck to the Habs tonight and best wishes to those of you staying up to watch the game.

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

He's had a punchable face ever since the famous "Microfracture Conspiracy".

"He was twying to huut me" - Stone on Subban

Why do we keep parading RHP out on the first line?

 

[Habs13]

Why do we keep parading RHP out on the first line?

Probably because nothing fits and they're trying to figure it out

 

[waffledave]

Too bad, I will be in Vegas in a few days. Would have been cool to catch this one.

 

[Tyson]

Monty in net and Matheson is ready to go.

My bold prediction- Primeau plays in Arizona and Allen confronts his old team.

Cuz you need size to help Suzuki and Caufield

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

My bold prediction- Primeau plays in Arizona and Allen confronts his old team.

Like on the ice, or in an ally?

Hug your pillow tight ~

Sweet dreams are made of this ~

 

[RationalExpectations]

Probably because nothing fits and they're trying to figure it out

I would put Slaf with Monahan and Armia

Pearson with CC Suzuki,

RHP Newhook Anderson together

Pezz Evans Ylonen

 

[Habs Icing]

What's the lineup?

Remember the poster for The Usual Suspects? That.

 

[Jee]

Just me waiting for the team to start losing

Yeah I hated the Sens more than the Bruins in the last 12 years or so

I'll complain about this every year but 90% of the leagues revenue comes from the eastern standard time zone. 10pm starts should never be a thing.

 

[the valiant effort]

The Arpon article about “Positionless Hockey” and the way the “modern game” is played irks me a bit in that some people think these are novel concepts. Oops there’s MSL’s favourite word

The Soviets crafted zone entries that led to defensemen driving the puck into an empty slot for a shot on net. I don’t think anyone needs reminding of the style many NHL teams used in the 80s and early 90s.

It reminds me of the one of advanced stats nerds, probably Dom, that once said Babcock’s Leafs are the first team to ever consistently use “4” players to maintain possession in the O zone. WHAT?

 

[HabsQC]

KK 9 pts in 9 games........

Right. West people should just watch Canadiens Express @10. Everyone wins !

 

[The Great Weal]

So we're gonna scratch Ylonen again to accommodate for our young future cornerstone piece Joel Armia again right?
