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

[Boss Man Hughes]

So he won't be any different than Mike Matheson then or Jeff Petry. But a lot cheaper and can fight. I'll take that.

Petry may have faded at the end of his Habs tenure but before that he was very good at getting pucks to the net. Unfortunately Habs spent most of their time setting up Shea "no idea where my shot is going" Weber.

 

[morhilane]

Are you saying Habs may accidentally forget Josh Anderson there?

He used to live there, maybe he goes for a bit of a tour and miss the plan back and get stuck there...

 

[JianYang]

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

It isn't easy but the sharks were also pretty good for about two decades.

That win in San Jose is very recent when the sharks started to stumble as an organization.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I feel like we just got back from a West Coast trip

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Anaheim, SJ are good teams for CC to bust his slump on.

 

[Habssince89]

CC should just worry about getting his shot on net for now. He can create a lot of rebounds and I'd prefer that to him trying to pick corners and missing. He might be trying to do too much right now forcing shots into sticks and shinpads

Same with Anderson

 

[hvac412]

I think some posters here hope they never see Laval again from what I've read.

Last place team in the ahl,don't blame him,but wait Laval was supposed to be stacked.

And holding into the puck too long looking for a shooting lane now too.

Caufield and Anderson are in their head with their inability to score and making mistakes trying to force it.

I feel like at least Andy is getting into good scoring spots , like if CC was taking the high danger shots andy is getting he would get way more goals , which is why its a bit worrisome for caufield since he hasn't really gotten open in high danger areas with the puck on his stick like andy has this year

Of course Anderson is getting into good scoring spots. The opposition knows he will never score. They ignore him. Caufield has a more difficult time because every one is trying to set him up so teams ignore other players and cover him.

CC had really, really good chances too, maybe even more than last season in some games. He’s just unlucky with hot goalies on some of those shots and the last few games maybe it’s starting to get to him and he’s frustrated but i’m not worried he’ll start scoring.

Sounds like excuses but ok. CC will always have guys on him tight.

I doubt opposing teams are letting anderson all alone in the slot because they know its him sounds fabricated fake and biased

Indefinitely and 6-8 weeks....





I guess Struble will get a long look at the NHL level now and Armia is coming back? (I would prefer Roy).

I think your inclination will probably be correct — likely going to be Farmhand Farmia.

At least, @The Real Timo will have something to be happy about.

 

[pvanders21]

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!

Right five more years of tanking and you'll be happy.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Habs going to have to take on bad contracts just to ice a f***ing team

They might go with another D, since they are currently only have 6 left on the trip with Harris coming back.

They are going to have like 9 forwards and 3 Ds left healthy once they are back at the speed the players are falling and some of the vets seems to be injured already.

 

[Redux91]

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

I'd secretly be celebrating honestly lol, get SJ as many pts as possible

We're already 7th worst in the NHL, and I fully expect minny, nsh and edm to pass us eventually soooo, hey, it could be worse than lining up a high pick again when we really needed to at least one more time

Yep, get that high end forward in this draft and we should be in a good spot.

Yoel's back?! Nice! That's how it should be. More Yoel!!!

I am dreading a bad announcement re Wifi's injury next.

 

[vokiel]

Tank team is gonna tank? Why not have fat cats driving the damn thing?

 

[McGees]

wtf.
