GDT: Habs vs Islanders, 12/3/24, 7 PM | TSN2: Laine Returns!

[HabbyGuy]

Such a dumb penalty to take. It's behind ya, you can't dump the guy.

Marty's not gonna like that, Struble is having hard time staying out of dog house.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Markov was the best but Roman Hamrlik was decent for a few years here defensively

 

[KevSkillz4]

Who was the best defender on Habs when Saku played? Serious question.

If you speak only defensive, Josh Gorges 100%

 

[EveryDay]

Didn't Dobson just do the same thing at the other end that Struble just did?

Yep.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Have we changed our D system? We seem to be playing a bit better D lately...someone edumecate me like I'm 5

I don’t think the system changed. But I do think the team has gotten better at playing it.

The last dozen or so games we’ve been so much better. We probably should’ve gotten some more wins along the way. The NY game in particular I feel was a game where we were the better team.

 

[Riddick412]

Really weak penalty to end the period. NHL refs never fail to consistently be inconsistent in their calls.

 

[gritdash60]

Love to see that those basketball screens get called, not happy seeing Habs on PK but thats a call they have to make every time.

 

[Habs7631]

Good effort, I liked that.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That was a good 1st period. Slafkovsky - Laine seem to be finding each other.

Newhook had a good period.

Anderson played well.

Now begin the 2nd on a PK.

 

[Trembz]

MSL needs to try Heineman on the 1st line. Even Anderson or Gallagher deserves that spot over Newhook

Newhook is trash, zero creativity

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nah, if he just held him up a bit they wouldn’t call it but he dumped him after the chip in. Was just stupid to do given game clock

But holding him up even for a second should also be a penalty.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Markov was the best but Roman Hamrlik was decent for a few years here defensively

Spacek Gill Hamrlik Georges they were good on the pk ngl

 

[Shred]

Only interesting thing about the Islanders is Roy coaching the team because holy shit is that team boring as f***.

It is the team Lou gave him

 

[Habs13]

No love for Craig Rivet?

 

[HabSgt]

[The Great Weal]

Everytime Barron plays himself out of the lineup, Struble lays a stinker the next game which makes you wonder if Barron should go back in his place.

 

[Svedu]

I hope the Canadiens draft Rimpinen or Vali in the last round this year. Rimpinens performances is worthy of drafting in the seventh round. Believe both are better prospects than Kerkola. Canadiens need a finnish goalie in the system for sure

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Who was the best defender on Habs when Saku played? Serious question.

Markov, Malakhov, Souray.

Komisarek WAS pretty good defensively, like Craig Rivet, but overall not a whole lot.


I think Lyle Odelein was there when he played, too, but he's like Rivet and Komisarek.

Mark Streit wasn't really a dman with the Habs.

I'm hoping I'm missing some because that's f***ing sad..

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Markov was the best but Roman Hamrlik was decent for a few years here defensively

Markov gave Komisarek a career, that's an amazing accomplishment.

 

[MeanMugging91]

Markov was the best but Roman Hamrlik was decent for a few years here defensively

Janne Niinimaa

 

[vokiel]

Dach line is going need more time to figure it out. They won't be a threat by averaging 1 shot per period.

 

[gritdash60]

If you speak only defensive, Josh Gorges 100%

was more thinking about who was the Hutson of that time, but love to see someone giving love for Gorges!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Anderson had a really good first

 

[Gally11]

But holding him up even for a second should also be a penalty.

Agreed but they don’t seem to call it anymore, even on the play where Anderson gained the zone to feed Guhle he was slowed down significantly but was able to muscle/speed his way through.

It’s annoying though for sure

 

[EveryDay]

The defence will need major upgrades, I'm fine with the offence with the addition of Demidov, Hage, Beck and our 1st pick this year. In net we should be fine with Fowler and Dobes.
