GDT: Habs vs Devils (TSN2, RDS)

[Roadhouse]

Houde is usually right, he asks them himself

I wonder if Pierre gave Yannick an odd look when he answered "It's Veh-beurre, Pierre."

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

That "second line" doesn't look too good..

 

[Belial]

Is it Jerabek or Yerjabek?

Didn't Pierre Houde also call Kovalev "Kovaliev" for no apparent reason or am I remembering wrong?

Houde takes the time to correctly spell all the names so he probably has the right pronunciation.

 

[Habs]

Bustchenyuk sucks bag tonight, does he even care about the little things?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I'd like to see Chuck be more explosive, he's super tentative right now, getting rid of the puck as soon as he gets it.

 

[Adam Michaels]

How has Galchenyuk looked so far?

Better so far than last game. But right now, the combination with Danault isn't exactly thrilling. Not a lot of chemistry yet, if there ever will be one.

 

[HTTP 400]

I've already seen enough of Galchenyuk-Danault-Gallagher. It's not gonna work.

Try Gallagher with Pacioretty-Drouin, they'll benefit from his netcrashing.

Give Hemsky to Galchenyuk so he can play with a skilled playmaker.

TSN is a breath of fresh air from the smog that is Rogers

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I think the problem is really speed and pace wise on that line, Danault likes to play a lot faster than Chuck and Gally so he's kinda lost with them. Hemsky would probably be a better fit with the two G's.

Try harder pls.

That's a good observation. Danault's game is about speed, and it's no wonder why he meshed well with Mitchell last year, before being moved up during the injury problems.

The picture quality is 110 times better then Sportsnet among anything. But the blackout thing is going to be a problem in my region.

Is it Jerabek or Yerjabek?

It's the proper pronunciation for those that speak Russian.

 

[Fenwick McCorsi]

I often trust Houde with pronunciations because he usually goes to the source to learn how to properly say it.

However, Dan Robertson said on TSN690 on one of the shows that he asked the guy and he said the way it's pronounced is Jakub Yerabek. So the Jakub is pronounced with a "J" and the Jerabek as a "Y".

I generally trust his pronunciation as well. And yeah what you're saying sounds right, the soft J on the on the last name. It's the addition of a hard J I don't understand from Houde (saying it Yerjabek). I think Robertson has it right.

Thanks all!

I know it's only the preseason but I get the feeling that this is going to be a tough year for the habs.

I've got a Perrier.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I've got a Perrier.

Does cheap ass diet coke knockoff even count as a drink ? Cause that's what I'm having. I'm poor by the way .

I wonder if Pierre gave Yannick an odd look when he answered "It's le jeune Veh-beurre, Pierre."

fixed it for you

There are a lot more AHL players on this line-up tonight than last night. And last night, they were the much better team.

Gelinas: "Je pense que ça va bien"

Poor him, he thinks he's doing well.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

How has Galchenyuk looked so far?

He's skating and working hard out there which is the biggest thing individually.

Outside of the Plekanec/Hudon combo though, we've yet to find any chemistry up front.

 

[OldCraig71]

Really? Are you talking 5v5 or pp? The team lacks skill, we have Drouin and Galchenyuk up front and very little skill from our D, it is going to be extremely tough for this team to score goals.

LOL. He's setting himself up for disappointment
