GDT: Game no. 10: Habs @ Wild | Who are these guys? | Tues., Nov. 1st 2022, 8 PM ET -- TSN2, RDS, BSN, BSWI, TSN690, BPM

[morhilane]

Habs have not beat the Wild in 14 games? Is this true?

Habs won one against them in 2019-2020 season, but you have to go back to 2014-2015 for another win. It's possible they have lost 14 in a row in Minnesota thought. Scratch that, it's not possible.

 

[Habs Halifax]

The next ~10 games will determine what this team is all about. Are we tanking or not? We'll know by the end of November.

Disagree. It's going to take more than 10 more games. Wait till Dec/Jan is what I say.

 

[themilosh]

At first, I thought: "Drouin-Monahan-Armia is an intriguing line"... Well, Drouin and Armia are intriguing since their first game as Habs.

still waiting for:
Andy - Dach - Slaf
Jackeye - Guhle
Monty

that woud be the biggest line up in Habs history.

 

[ArtPeur]

How many goals will Goalfield score?

Yes.

 

[cphabs]

Slaf tends to bring up his naps in almost every interview

He’s still growing…

 

[26Mats]

100% agree. This is not the same as Ducharme, Therrien, or Julien demoting KK or Chucky to 4th line and then trashing them in front of the media. MSL knows what he is doing.

At the end of the day, it's up to the individual to overcome the obstacles while they comprehend the coaching well in between games. Suzuki did it and Slaf appears to have a good head on his shoulders as well. It's one of the reasons why they drafted him... He's very skilled and has great size but he's coachable and not self intitled to be placed higher in the line-up without earning it. Growth from age 18-21 is very important. It's more important than stat checking age 14-17 years. I trust Gorton/Hughes/MSL

The numbers are based on a small sample size and shouldn't be taken as a predictor of the future

 

[morhilane]

Martin Saint-Louis is really just a life coach...

 

[Adriatic]

This is getting scary. With Ed back now and eventually Matheson I can't really see us being bad enough to get a really high draft pick.

Maybe we are NOT tanking but Panthers hopefully are...

Martin Saint-Louis is really just a life coach...

Marty is such a philosopher

We will be 5+ spots out of the star forward range that we desperately need to be in.

 

[The Real Timo]

How many goals will Goalfield score?

Yes.

Yes for sure.

 

[26Mats]

This is getting scary. With Ed back now and eventually Matheson I can't really see us being bad enough to get a really high draft pick.

We need hughes to trade some vets. 2 D's plus Monahan, dvorak, and anderson.

But I don't think Hughes will do this.

 

[The Real Timo]

Feel like shit today... cold, flu, covid... whatever it is... Would be good to wrap myself into a warm blanket and watch Habs light up Fleury. And Xman kicking someone's ass.

It's Drouin's turn to score a hattrick

 

[Noble]

Hoffman was given the veteran benefit of the doubt. He was given enough time to shake off the off-season rust and get into game form. That grace period has now expired due to his play.

We should see him in the press box more and more going forward unless he actually decides to get it together.

It will be a battle between which one of Hoffman or Drouin can muster up enough energy to actually compete . Could be quite the battle.

 

[Kennedys]

Cole with 2 goals again tonight

 

[The Real Timo]

I'm so happy I won't have to see Hoffman at the point when they're on the PP anymore.

Amen. You will see Drouin or maybe even Dadonov instead. Then you'll know how you really feel.

 

[FF de Mars]

I feel you, it's probably the flu, I got it too, it's the season and everybody has it. I just got out of a 2 days fever. Can't wait for the game too pour me changer les idées! Maybe guys like Slafkovsky know how much impact they have and it motivates them... maybe they should pass the memo to Drouin, Wideman, Dadonov, Hoffman, Armia and Cie who seem so self absorbed they don't notice a thing.

 

[BushFireRecordsRedux]

@waffledave bet all his vcash on the Wild tonight, I say he's WRONG

I had the flu and a full blown stomach bug last week. I shit my my pants sneezing while calling in sick… Get better brother!

I used to have a ton of cash... where did it all go? I was planning to cash out HFboards cash and get a new set of speakers. Damnit!

 

[Rob Sense]

Disagree. It's going to take more than 10 more games. Wait till Dec/Jan is what I say.

agreed. December is where the Habs usually go to die.

Lol... very graphic. Thanks.

Like I was saying ,
That extra year on hoffmans contract is RAPIDLY becoming a yuuuuuuuuge problem lol..
Last thing you want is to buy out and have dead money for 3 years...
It's a conundrum..
Good luck Kent

 

[JianYang]

Hoffman scratched, thank you baby Jesus.

Drouin in though. One maddening player in for another. I might actually prefer Hoffman tbh.

 

[Deleted member 257557]

I often wonder if all those hot starts and blown tires weren’t just a lack of talent being asked to skate all out and grind like their life depends on every shift from game one. It’s not “expandable” as a strategy, and while other teams got warmed up habs would fizzle out from injuries and an 82 game grind. This feels different.
