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

[Miller Time]

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

I hope not...

You'd think at the minimum that Pezetta & Ylonen & Armia would rotate out (I'd keep it at Pez/Armia personally... Ylonen seemed to be playing well & deserving of more opportunities as opposed to less imo)

 

[Sasha Orlov]

West Coast gang we out here, a decent start time for once

Now Brendan Gallagher gets to ruin my whole evening instead of just the end of my afternoon

Apparently, Amira has been on the trade block since last summer, so this is probably to showcase him. There was some pundits saying there might be renewed interest a few days ago (before the Jets game even).

Honestly as a Westcoaster, i like 7pm eastern timestarts. Love watching games at 4pm my time, then have the rest of the everning

Think it'll be a high scoring affair tonight for Vegas, hope we don't pull the goalie through the game.

So we're not playing a young player who's been doing great to potentially get a 7th for 50% retained? God knows we need more 7ths who likely won't end up as good as Ylonen.

MSL is a sucker for punishment for these for these lines

Caufield/Suzuki/Harvey-Pinard Slafkovsky-Newhook-Anderson Pearson-Monahan-Gallagher Pezzetta-Evans-Armia

Just give me my Justin Barron goal and I'm good for the night.

The cap relief this year and next, is more the goal one would think
Over wtv 'return'

I'd honestly just switch Anderson and Pearson.

Wait for next Saturday when Dvorak should be back. This should free Monahan to go into the top 6 and we might end up with:
CC/Suzuki/Newhook
Slaf/Monahan/Anderson
Pearson/Dvorak/Gally
4th line

Althought, it will probably be CC/Suzuki/Monahan and the rest will remain unchanged (no idea what happens to RHP).

Habs in Vegas can mean a ton of things, given all of the overused one liners that come with the experience.

However, for Habs fans, it has an additional significance.

On July 12, 2023, the Golden Knights hired Dominique Ducharme as assistant coach.

Ducharme was on a recent podcast of La Poche Bleue and he seemed to still be bitter about how his Habs head coaching stint had ended.

Well Dominique, whether we like it or not, we already know that Quebec media types will be jostling over each other to plant mics in your face, all in the hope of capturing that prized, extra salty sound byte.

Best of luck to them ...

Habs coming off two exciting home wins, in overtime (the last of which was a shootout).

Let's see what they can muster on the road, against the reigning Stanley Cup champs.

Ready to mumble? Lmfao! That’s right up there with the knuckle sandwich bistro! Bravo and thanks Runner!

 

[Holystik]

Have to wake up at 5am tomorrow.
Not sure it would be responsible to watch this and even worse, drink!

 

[habdynasty]

Got to like these 8 o’clock starts !

To be fair, I really don't think that's the reason they would dress Armia.

It's all about the special teams, that's problem #1 on the list as the team does surprisingly well
at 5-on-5. Evans and Ylonen are 2 most used forward on the PK.....and the PK sucks. Armia played 3:57 on the PK in his 1st game.....and he actually deserve to stay at least another game.....won't be long he'll be out of the line-up anyway, as soon as Dvorak is back, he's out!

 

[Naslundforever]

Armia played well last game, and I think players have to start earning their ice for their own good and the team’s (+ he’s on the block as we’re hearing).

 

[Frankenheimer]

But promise me this Habs fans. If it goes to a shootout you will change the channel or close your app. Let Rogers and the NHL know its time is up

Is this a new thing I missed? Soft protesting shootouts by not watching?

I am so ready to mumble, nice work on Dom "Buffer" Ducharme lmao


Clash of the titans tonight: can we deliver the first regulation loss to the defending champs or will we look very much like a rebuilding team? I'd say the former but ya never know!

It is one of my many worldwide movements, but it has only just begun. You are not late to the movement

Another certified classic from Runner77

 

[overlords]

As much as I expect a clinical 5-1 loss I think it’s more likely the chaos of our Habs leads to a 1 goal game either way

But promise me this Habs fans. If it goes to a shootout you will change the channel or close your app. Let Rogers and the NHL know its time is up

Still paying for media access in 2023? Some of us have been fighting the good fight on the high seas for over a decade. Cut the cable, ya land lovers.
