Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Coyote : Wednesday October 30th at 22H

[Milhouse40]

Another long 3 days break before the next game in Arizona
It's last of these long break until December the 6th.

Coyotes are having a good start with a 6-3-1 record
They are also 3-1-0 at home.

First of a back to back for the Habs as they will face the Golden Knights in Vegas on Halloween night.

And the question is always the same when there's a back to back in Montreal:
Will Price take Vegas or Coyote or both?

We haven't won a game on a back to back yet this year. As you say, Phoenix is hot. So I'd use Price against Phoenix as that's the most winable game, given it's not a back to back, but not a sure win. Try to at least get 2 points on this road trip. I'd consider using Price depending on how the game plays out - if he isn't worked too much.

God I'm sick of these long breaks

Habs @ Coyote : Wednesday October 30th at 22H

Habs will win this handsomely. Only facing one coyote in this one.

Plus, bet you that Coyote is not going to know what "22H" means and will show up at the wrong time.

Whatever it takes to win, I guess.

God I'm sick of these long breaks

And at 22h nonetheless, I won't be able to watch it. Weird schedule..

 

[Frenchy]

in my POV , after a 3 days break , Price should be able to handle the workload of a b2b.

 

[Habssince89]

Kinkaid is playing well and is hungry to get a W. I think the coyotes will be a good challenge for him. He needs to establish that he is indeed the person for the backup job.

Price could be the difference between even 1 point to none against Vegas. I think this is the most pragmatic guess for Max points.

I'm currently daydreaming about Armia getting 20+ this year, and a few more good games early on in the season and hell he halfway there. He'll have the minutes to do it too. The question I have about Armia is how many assists do we think he'll end up with? What are the conservative projections?

 

[David Suzuki]

I'm working a late shift this month so I'm happy for the west coast games this time around can actually watch most of a week day game.

 

[peate]

Another long wait. 10PM start means an extra long nap.

His game like Hutchinson's is trending the right way.

Gotta keep him fresh for the post season.

 

[Rapala]

God I'm sick of these long breaks

Whats even worse is long breaks with an inconsistent team.

 

[Rapala]

Did the Sharks really go in to Ottawa and stink out the joint? Couldn't put together a better effort than that for EK?

 

[Runner77]

How else are we going to have the privilege of savouring the dramatic stylings of Cartwheel Keith!

I would agree with that.
If he's ready to go, than go.

Still depend on what type of game Arizona will give him. If it's a 35+ shots, then maybe put Kinkaid in Vegas but if it's a 25ish shot, then i have no problem to put him back to back.

We haven’t won back to back games because our back up gives up 4-5 goals a game. I don’t blame him directly as he has a D in front of him that is below average.
I would play Price against both but that won’t happen, so I would start Price in Arizona and hope we get at least two points in these games.

 

[Holystik]

Are we wednesday yet?

 

[The Real Timo]

ah jeez... for a sec I thought the game was tonight... sigh. and it's freaking cold outside today... i need to become one of them snowbirds and move to phoenix for the winter.

So who do we need to watch out at the Coyotes team? Now that Galchenyuk is not there the "rivalry" is just not the same.

Habs have a back up for a reason,split the games on b2B for now. A stitch in time saves nine.

 

[Tabarouette]

as much as I want to be positive we're 100% losing this one

✓ bad team
✓ western conference trip
✓ after a convincing win

Curious as how Kessel is fitting in there. 'yotes are off to a decent start,frugal on D. Hate to hear their goal song.

Phoenix and Arizona is my fav to go see a game,so easy to get around and a ton of other things to do there,great weather!

 

[Censored Toad]

Another long break... at least we have some leaf tears to enjoy while we wait

Ken Dryden in his prime would have allowed 5 the way we played against the Wild.

Price lost the 2nd night of a back to back against Detroit. Detroit is improved, but I suspect we still match up well against them - when we have our legs. But yes it was only one game.

Perhaps at some point we should start calling Primeau up for the second of back to backs. I'm not a kinkaid fan so far.

 

[Mrb1p]

Ive never seen so many breaks to start a season. This is horrible.
