Pre-Game Talk: Habs - Rags: Oct 22, 7PM

Unlikely to have Slaf and might not have Guhle. If they keep it close it'd be a win.

So back to moral victories? Lol

So back to moral victories? Lol

Playing a SC contender as a rebuilding team without 2 of your foundational building blocks, yes.

So back to moral victories? Lol

Kind of reserved to that while having a talentless team and clueless coach.

I can confirm that I wasn’t on the ice either for morning skate but I’ll be ready for puck drop tonight

No Slafkovsky for the next week

Rusty? That would imply he was shiny at some point

Armia is Armia, a stretch of good games continues to sucker some of our fan base into thinking he's a Top 6 forward when he's so not, he's not even a Top 9

He can PK and that is about it

Why is everyone so harsh on Armia still? Sure he’s not a second line player, but he was on a 20 goal pace last year without even playing the full season in the nhl. He steals pucks like no one I’ve seen and wins a ton of board battles. He’s absolutely a very solid 3rd liner. He’s not scoring (neither are his linemates) but he’s honestly been one of the more solid forwards so far. Same with another whipping boy (Anderson).

No Slafkovsky for the next week

Geez. Just move the damn team. Montreal is truly cursed.

Can someone go help sober up Joshua Roy?

just crazy, for some the bar is so low.

Moral Victories

 

[JianYang]

Right! because you can't have fun in NYC, oh wait.

What does that have to do with whether players want to have some fun on the road?

Even rookie dinners are done on the road.... it doesn't matter what team you play for.

Although Marty is lost tactically, I’m glad he has enough sense to try and get Dach going rather than benching him for his horrible play. Now it’s time for Kirby to wake the f*** up.

Wow MSL finally tweaked the lineup, lol. Brilliant Coaching.

We had a blip last saeason where we came up short, but I feel we've got a shot at reclaiming the man-games-lost title again this year.

sucks about Slaf. But really glad to see Dach with Suzuki and Caufield and Kapanen getting a shot at 2c with Newhook. Maybe when Slaf comes back we see Newhook - Kapanen - Slaf,
and then if Dach can get back to speed, Newhook - Dach - Slaf.

Hopefully Kapanen, Heineman and Evans can impress and work their way into the top 9 on lines that have chemistry.

Smart. You don’t need to add the embarrassment of him getting obliterated by Rempe

 

[Kennerback]

We'll be fighting an uphill battle tonight Boys.

 

[schwang26]

Unless Monty plays superhuman, they’ll lose this one in the first 5 minutes

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I guess I'll be watching the CF game tonight...

 

[Habby4Life]

If Rempe plays, he will do his schtick and the only one who can push back is Pezz who is clearly outmatched.

Why have wifi on the roster when you won’t play him against a thug like Rempe?

 

[Habby4Life]

We'll be fighting an uphill battle tonight Boys.

Cycle, cycle, and more cycle.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Slaf out for a week could be a blessing in disguise. I highly doubt we would've seen Kapanen getting a chance at 2C anytime soon if Dach was still on that line. Hopefully he nails the audition and Dach can slot onto the right side when Slaf is back.

Although Marty is lost tactically, I’m glad he has enough sense to try and get Dach going rather than benching him for his horrible play. Now it’s time for Kirby to wake the f*** up.

I don't expect to see the real Kirby Dach until at least mid-november
