GDT: Habs vs Rangers @1pm

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

We don't block out Monty can't see we get scored on.
Rinse and repeat.

They play how Robidas played, hmmm

We don't block out Monty can't see we get scored on.
Rinse and repeat.

Would be useful to have the defense in front of our net to do that instead of chasing a guy to the blue line...

 

[RationalExpectations]

We could see that goal coming. Terrible D and subpar goaltending.

This one is entirely on the forward group though. Why nobody comes to block lafreniere ? Where is the center ?

 

[overlords]

MSG has a guy named Bill Pidto but it's pronounced Pedo and I just can't.

 

[morhilane]

Ooofff, faceoffs. Dvorak is the only good one at 50%

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Where's the fun fact?

Well you can make fun of me for spending money on a game with David Aebischer in net I guess

 

[Hacketts]

He needs better positioning.

Second part is true.

Habs need to take the step and allowing that goal with 8 minutes left, acceptable/understandable.

Allowing goals with seconds left, the Habs can't do that anymore.

sometimes sports be sports.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Beating up Trouba hyped up the Rags they also hate his face

I'm gonna try Slaf's poutine if he gets another point.

 

[EveryDay]

That goal is on the mediocre coaching staff, that 1st line is small and weak in their own zone, put Evans on the ice or Dvorak line at critical time, not Caufield and Newhook....

Can't wait for this coaching staff to be fired. Can't believe they missed the chance to get Montgomery.

 

[Hacketts]

kudos to Anderson... he's playing light on his feet lately, and he's got those hands (for fighting)

 

[habdynasty]

What’s for lunch.

 

[Yoor]

To think we missed out on grabbing Montgomery and his staff. Doesn't he also meet the language requirement? But hey...our coach is learning on the job...the one he got promoted to from coaching peewee...I feel like I'm taking crazy pills...

Slaf with an assist!

To be fair Newhook did get back and make a solid blocked shot.

And to be honest I'm not even sure who's supposed to cover Laf.

Traditionally, where Laf is it would be the right winger cover that spot.

If you're going man to man, it would be the RD.

 

[Heffyhoof]

Slaf with an assist!

3 points in a game and a period since he no longer has to do the work of two wingers.

 

[Rapala]

I watched that first period on MSG they had no idea why Anderson and Trouba went at it.
I guess Trouba's cheap shots have become second nature for them.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Dude has quick hands too. Especially at the beginning of that fight

 

[Le Tricolore]

Well this tastes like everything listed on the can. I like it. Weird as f*** beer.

Ridiculous take
That line was in the d-zone for only 10 sec before rangers scored, and the reason the rangers scored was because Savard didn't cover his player properly

 

[The Great Weal]

The 4 nations tournament is getting treated like the Olympics. It's a fun and cool thing but nowhere near as important as everyone is making it out to be.

 

[OldCraig71]

Not a bad first period, Dach is struggling to be relevant and Matheson showed his best and worst, oh well, water is wet. Liking Slaf with Gallagher and Dvorak as well.

 

[CharleyHorse]

Newhook and his pointless rushes up ice causing turnovers

Newhook the Habs' new Russ Courtnall? Reminds me of when Pat Burns famously called Courtnall "le chevreuil" - quick as a deer, all speed but too hesitant to fully engage and take control where it really counts.

I'm starting to think it was an ESPN idea because the All Star isn't that popular with their viewership...but I don't think many care either for the tournament.

I'll watch just to see Crosby, McDavid and MacKinnon on the same team but it's a gimmick that doesn't mean anything
