Pre-Game Talk: Habs Heading Out West vs Ducks, Sharks, Kings & Blue Jackets

[the valiant effort]

I missed it maybe but why is there 0 games on Tue/Thu and a bajillion on Wed/Fri?

No humans bothered to check the flimsy algorithm's output

 

[The Real Timo]

I see a 2-2 trip. Should beat sanjose and columbus but i say they lose to columbus and and san jose. But beat anaheim and La. Just because it makes no sense.

Imagine Habs losing to Sharks. I will read this forum. Will be awesome!

You can't underestimate the 4 full NCAA seasons that he played. His Development has been done properly. If MSL wants a team that doesn't play soft then players like Struble need to make the jump.

Struble and Wifi... Sign me up!

Habs can easily go 6pts out of the 8 against these teams.

So I’d expect at least 4-5 pts at minimum.

While I certainly don't share it, kudos for your optimism.

My personal tankometer....

4-0....im hanging on to playoff hope
3-1....im confused, torn and not sure what to do with myself
2-2.....oh Christ, we are in no man's land
1-3.....well....no hope but to root for the tank now.
0-4.....All about the Tank.....I will infest our tank thread.....Mack Attack baby!!!

 

[Hannibal]

f*** i hope it will not be a injury like we saw before of day to day to finally become
Month to month!

Comeback soon X!

 

[Rapala]

f***ing League scheduling a 10:00 PM /3:30 PM B2B. How do they get away with this SHIT.

 

[Habs]

I hope he takes them bowling & there is a purse snatching incident

 

[Rapala]

Thw 1st game isn't until Wednesday but are leaving today. We will get to see how the Habs stack up against a couple of the cellar dwellers in the Sharks and Blue Jackets. The games against the Sharks and Kings are during the afternoon so the fans in the east won't need to worry about burning the midnight oil.

Some news on the injury front, I would think the would call up a couple of players from Laval.

WTF more day to day injuriess that will drag into weeks and months?

It's not back to back. 10 pm is on Wed, 3:30 Fri 4:00 pm Sat. I was thinking it was back to back too.

 

[Tyson]

I hope Struble will get to play.

So first the team will tried to eat some Ducks and then move to some Sharks, but I suspect the Sharks will be the one to feast, that's usually how it goes with this team. Also, the Kings will probably feats too....and nobody care about the Blue Jackets.



Yes, finally some reminder that coasting comes with consequences for the boys.

Habs have won once in SJ since 99. It's never easy there.

 

[Redux91]

This is usually a disastrous trip

Back when the Cali teams were all powerhouses? Yeah sure, it was.

Wonder who would be the 'spacegoat' for who this time.

Habs last win against the Ducks and Kings was in 2019-2020 and they haven't won in San Jose since 1999.

My yearly trips out to Western California were painful. Lol the wins they did get were that much better.

I think Allen shut out SJ a few years ago in SJ. He made 45 saves I think. Only win in 24 years

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Think we get 2 regulation wins then either 2 losses or 1 regulation loss & 1 OT/SO loss. I expect 4-5 points.

Too bad about Xhekaj, but good to see Struble called up. Hopefully he plays.

Be interesting to see what the lines are.

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Newhook-Monahan-Ylonen
Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher
Pearson-Evans-Pezzetta

In Oct 29th 2021, 4-0 Habs, 45 shots from the Sharkies. Good memory. I based the never since 1999 on someone else saying so. I guess I should have validated like for the Ducks and Kings.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Pretty early for US WC trip…still expect us to lose most games

 

[Redux91]

Let's just say it's a tougher trip for *other* reasons lol

 

[Seven7]

I fully expect Montreal to hit a new low against SJ.

Could happen, SJ beat the oilers who have the best player in the world lol.

Mine is
4-0...Shit way too many unnecessary wins. 4 too many if you ask me.
3-1...Way too many unnecessary wins. 3 too many if you ask me.
2-2...Probably useless OT points. League needs to change this.
1-3...1 win is ok. Hope Slaf gets a hattrick.
0-4...Choo Choo mf'ers. We're rolling now!

 

[sheed36]

Read the thread title and this song was the first thing that popped into my head. Not sure if the Habs will do alright though.

Let’s call it like it is. Habs just haven’t won. Period.
