GDT: Habs @ Pens | October 13th 2015 7PM | RDS, CITYM, ROOT

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Need a real third line center. The trickle down effect to the other lines is killing them tonight

 

[znk]

DD has been good all game. Weise and Flash are what's bringing that line down.

Saved a goal in the first for sure.

 

[malton]

DD has been good all game. Weise and Flash are what's bringing that line down.

Weise particularly.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Flynn seriously must be leading all forwards in ice time tonight. Every time I look he's on the ice.

Plekanec: 12:36
Pacioretty: 12:03
Galchenyuk: 11:04
Desharnais: 6:55
Flash: 8:35
Mitchell: 9:12
Flynn: 10:10

 

[Disappearing Semin]

I wonder if the Galchenyuk line will play more at home

 

[Lebowski]

Pittsburgh turned it up a notch. We have real opposition now.

I'll echo what some others have said; the Galchenyuk line needs to play a lot more. No matter the match-up.

 

[The Great Weal]

Nice to see Mitchell is our #1 C now

 

[sheed36]

Galchenyuk played over 10 minutes. Semin and Eller just over 8 minutes.

Edit.. NHL.com just updated TOI. Galchenyuk played over 11 minutes. Semin and Eller just over 9 minutes.

 

[Team_Spirit]

2 deflections the Pens are lucky to be tied.

 

[windycity]

Weise particularly.

Maybe see DSP and Weise flip?

 

[mariolemieux66]

Subban is struggling a little.

Play the Galchenyuck, Eller and Semin more.

 

[studDUGY]

Sloppy 2nd, but w/e. It's still tied. Pittsburgh really wants to win though. :/

 

[JayKing]

4th line is getting too much ice time.

 

[Drakkar]

Well, I expected a tough game against a, let's face it, a very good offensive team. Not the best second period, but it`s not too bad. Playoff-mode Fleury is helping us a bit.

 

[nyhabsfan]

3rd line is brutal..... have to hold your breath and grab your nuts every time they are on the ice.

 

[Schwang]

You should be in the Habs region, but, again, this game is regional and is only available on City TV Montreal. Check if you have that and you will see the game there.

I think I may have had a french hockey package last year but I don't think that would include the city feed? I remember watching the habs on City last year for sure.

There is no baseball tonight and I'm watching the city feed on hockeystreams. Nothing on cogeco kingston though. I'm positive I'm in the Montreal feed area.

 

[Born in 1909]

Chantal Desjardins is looking fine tonight.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Plekanec: 12:36
Pacioretty: 12:03
Galchenyuk: 11:04
Desharnais: 6:55
Flash: 8:35
Mitchell: 9:12
Flynn: 10:10

I don't mind the 4th playing more than the third because they are better but it's not normal that Flynn has more ice-time than Eller and Semin.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Loving the top 4.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

We have one. Desharnais has been good the last bunch of games. What we need is actual third liners, not Weise. I said last year, and I'll repeat myself. Weise may look like he can play on other lines, but he's just a very good fourth liner who has diminishing returns the moment you slide him up.

 

[tinyzombies]

Lost focus that period. Gave the puck away too much

 

[Whitesnake]

No!! 164 points this season! Nothing less!

I know. I said fine. I didn't say great.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not a great 2nd period, but at least we got a bit of pushback with the Chucky & Pleks lines late.

That DD line is a horror show in its own end, DD's 1st period notwithstanding. He should switch Weise & DSP in the 3rd. At least DSP can play some D.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Maybe see DSP and Weise flip?

That's what I would do and then bring in Bryon with Flynn and Mitchell... that would fly!

 

[NobleSix]

Plekanec: 12:36
Pacioretty: 12:03
Galchenyuk: 11:04
Desharnais: 6:55
Flash: 8:35
Mitchell: 9:12
Flynn: 10:10

Flynn is a player who should have about 10 minutes of ice time per game at the most. Not 10 minutes after two periods.
