GDT: Game 9 - Montreal Canadiens Versus Philadelphia Flyers - October 27th 2024, 7:00pm EST - TSN2, RDS - Growing Pains

[Mrb1p]

We can call Seeler a p***y or whatever but if there was a Xhekaj on another team going to fight Suzuki, I'd want the whole team doing the same.

Yup. Although Coots isn't Suzuki toughness wise.

 

[CanadienShark]

Does anyone has the replay of that Hutson saucer pass to Dvo ?

Funny, I didn't even see who did it, but knew for sure it came from Hutson because no one else would try that, let alone pull it off.

 

[Andrei79]

I've been screaming this.

It's such a stupid f***ing system.

You bring in a new player and now that player has to learn which position to take, which player to shadow and when to switch off.

Positional is the way to go in the league as it's easier for players to attempt as a lot of players don't have high defensive IQ

You mean zone right ? Around a third of the league plays a similar system.

This is similar to when people were whining about the drop pass on the PP, which most of the top teams use.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Gutless puke Briere on TSN. .

 

[sampollock]

Torts last coach to wear sweaters

 

[OldCraig71]

I thought the interviewer was going to ask Briere how he smuggled Michkov over to Philly.

 

[JimBoKW]

It's a man to man hybrid, similar to what Florida runs. The team has been playing it very well the last four periods.

So why does Laval, the training ground, use a different system than the parent club?

A lot of team play hybrid or mtm but they all have highly mobile defensive personnel. I'm not sure the Habs have that.

 

[sampollock]

I thought the interviewer was going to ask Briere how he smuggled Michkov over to Philly.

Maybe KH can do the same with Demi

 

[Rapala]

Couturier dropped the gloves first,

The rule has changed to whoever sends the invitation first.

 

[zx81]

I would like to see an experiment.
Anderson on 30 breakaways against a cardboard goalie.
How many goals would he score?

 

[Andrei79]

I think they do, it lacks a ton of experience though.

 

[The Great Weal]

I thought the interviewer was going to ask Briere how he smuggled Michkov over to Philly.

Well people here are saying Michkov only wanted to play for Philly and only took the meeting with the Habs to shit in Hughes' cereal or whatever the conspiracy theory is

 

[zx81]

Maybe KH can do the same with Demi

He should call Aubut for some tips

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I'm both seriously pissed & flabbergasted at Xhekaj getting the only penalty when BOTH Couturier & Seeler dropped their gloves AND Seeler was 3rd man in who dragged down Xhekaj - like what the f***ing, f*** bullshit call was that?!

Like NHL refs are the f***ing atrocious dumbest f***s on this f***ing planet.

Like f***-off!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Then the point is to accumulate players with high IQ.

There's few forwards with a high defensive IQ.

You mean zone right ? Around a third of the league plays a similar system.

This is similar to when people were whining about the drop pass on the PP, which most of the top teams use.

Yeah, top teams. Teams that are good.

Habs gotta try something else if it isn't working.

 

[morhilane]

So why does Laval, the training ground, use a different system than the parent club?

Laval use the same systems.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Spoken like a true zoomer

4 nice seasons right from the get-go.
Not a one years wonder.

Majority of teams now play a hybrid version of MTM.

 

[HabbyGuy]

I missed the first period... How was it?

 

[Andrei79]

Well people here are saying Michkov only wanted to play for Philly and only took the meeting with the Habs to shit in Hughes' cereal or whatever the conspiracy theory is

It's not a conspiracy theory that Philly was the only team he contacted to visit. Nor is it one that his agent singled out teams he didn't want to play for.

 

[Mrb1p]

I think they do, it lacks a ton of experience though.

Not sure. They do have a sizeable D though, which lends itself great to zone imo.

Like f***-off!

Yup! And RDS shitting on Xhekaj as usual.

So you consider him a 100 points player? What are you arguing about?

 

[Runner77]

My point was moreso that if Suzuki was in Couturier's place I'd want the whole team there preventing anything from happening.

Except here, Couturier made the decision to engage, he wanted the fight. If Suzuki drops them first, he’s on his own. If a teammate acts like Seeler, that’s a 3rd man penalty from any reffing crew applying the rules — except this one. I doubt Marty would be happy with a 3rd man in penalty putting his team at a disadvantage.
