Pre-Game Talk: Habs vs Caps in Washington on Halloween

[habdynasty]

The caps are old now. Just keeping the same guys hoping for OV to get the goal record. No threat but will beat the young Habs.

 

[Habssince89]

Oh yes. It was a given that Arbs comes out when KN's boy Barron is back. Xhekaj is so gone man. I am f***ing pissed. Beyond pissed.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not atm will need to lose more for that. Atm we're in the mix for top 10 pick.

One more win and we’re .500. it’s too early for any of that kind of stuff.

This is exactly what you can expect from a .500 team - inconsistency.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Ovechkin probably breaking the goal record tomorrow night

 

[Tuggy]

I hope Ovechkin breaks the goal record in this game.

Ovechkin probably breaking the goal record tomorrow night

Beat me to it!

 

[Habs]

Barron getting knocked out again immediately might as well be on polymarket

I love how Arber's -1 was somehow a reason we lost the game. He must now sit will the others will have a chance to figure it all out as the season progresses

 

[Karma Police]

I want Ovi to score 4-5 against us to get him closer to the 900

 

[Tabarouette]

they're gonna come out super strong and we're all gonna be very confused, and a little angry that they should've just done that last game

 

[The Real Timo]

Caps are so a f***ing big team! Jesus…

Good game to leave Xhekaj out of the lineup I guess.

 

[Habs]

we are going to get physically dominated and PLD probably has his best game of the year, he's been saving it up

 

[Hannibal]

Gorton/MSL in a nutshell.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Changing up the lines

Good lines although I would like to see Newhook somewhere in the top 6. Or just switch Newhook and Anderson.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm sorry are we actually mad Arber is coming out when he served up multiple pizzas last night?

He had his chance to take control of his roster spot and fumbled it, again.

Some fans seems to want him to watch the game from the bench instead of the press box. I suspect that they secretly just want to see some fighting because everything else is not entertaining.

 

[The Real Timo]

Marty thinks Habs are helping other teams...

[Saundies]

Can one of our goalies dress up as Carey Price? Better yet can Carey Price come back and dress up as one of them?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Mother of god that's some Therrien/Carbonneau , Good Will Hunting, line combinations there. Just missing Begin, Darche and David Desharnais



Just gotta make room for future superstar Barron bro !

Plenty of time to use Xhekaj when Savard is gone. They need to play Barron and determine whether to keep him or not. If he is personally responsible for games lost then put him in the press box.

Shouldn't we know by now? Barron has been trying to crack the NHL since 2021, and trying to crack one of the league's worst blueline for 3 years with no luck. Is he going to magically turn into something special? He looks like 5-6 bottom pairing dman who can't be trusted in his own zone, isn't phsycial, and not much else. Do we need to develop this or can't we just sign a guy?

Must be frustrating for management as well

 

[Rapala]

f***ing soft team.

8 players without a hit last night including Matheson.
How does a Dman not get at least 1 hit in a game like any game?
Washington will force us to the boards and off the puck.

He is 22. Defensemen can take years to mature. They need to decide if his decision making can improve or he just lacks the hockey IQ to be a decent defenseman.

Hopefully Tom Wilson doesn’t start his shit

 

[The Real Timo]

Hopefully Tom Wilson doesn’t start his shit

Is there anyone to stop him?

 

[Rapala]

Hopefully Tom Wilson doesn’t start his shit

The guy with 7 hits against the Rangers? He doesn't like their jersey or something.
Maybe he'll be tired but I don't think Washington see us as a team they need to smoke.
Leaning on us all over the ice is enough.

 

[Toene]

who the f*** is KN?

 

[KevSkillz4]

Moé je me déguise en congé maladie demain pis je check la game.

Maybe not, if it's another shit show like against Seattle, good dammmn it !
