GDT: ISLES @ HABS | HOF vs HOF | Thurs. Jan. 25, 2024, 7PM ET -- TSN2, RDS

[Habs]

They bench Arbs already ? Lol

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Roy barking orders, MSL staring at either a tablet or the floor.

Screw you

Staring at tablets is Letowskis job lol

 

[HabSgt]

Time for Parisian Inside Round Steak.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Haven’t had a PPG player since Kovalev in 2007-08. Kucherov just got his 82nd (and 83rd) point in his 48th game. Ridiculous.

A very tough pill to swallow.

 

[salbutera]

This team is doing the same thing again. It's like they get tired or something.

They always start with a ton of jump. But they're giving up way too much in the slot all of the sudden.

lack of size is an issue for Habs, Isles are big & play a heavy game

He lacks Karakter and what the team culture is all about.

But if he good defensively?

 

[Kennerback]

Now Caufield is out there with Anderson and Monahan.

The lines were not fixed and weird. Is it the center issue or something else? I missed it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Now Caufield is out there with Anderson and Monahan.

Probably because the same 5 guys were out for the 2 minute pk. We never cleared the zone. Probably needed to change things up at forward a bit.

 

[Hannibal]

Benching X. Stupid.

Struble had a penalty that ended up in the goal and a freaking bad turnover at the iles blueline, but mever miss a shift.

 

[sheed36]

Well the Toronto media loves it apparently

Not nearly as much as they lust over Matty Boy though right?

 

[HabbyGuy]

Dunno maybe all the special teams play that period messed with the alignments.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Probably why they dressed Kovacevic & Condotta, and sat Harris & Ylonen.

 

[SlafySZN]

I don't think it's an issue. Just trying to mix the lines a little to keep the energy going after all the PKs

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Gallagher has the 6th most ice time

Maybe the plan is to hope he injures himself

Only other explanation doesnt speak well for the staff

 

[Team_Spirit]

Roy barking orders, MSL staring at either a tablet or the floor.

Roy is coaching dads

MSL is babysitting

 

[HabbyGuy]

Big play Dave.

 

[Rapala]

Batman and Robin got split up...
Finally. It's been one big struggle 5v5 for quite some time now.
I wonder if he sticks with it because we got trounced that period.
Once again no urgency on our PP. Exactly what I talked out before the start of the second.
As soon as the wrong guys hold on to the puck too long we are screwed.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

good game so far? just tuning in

 

[Habano]

They bench Arbs already ? Lol

Looks like it, our little stump of a coach sending a message lol

 

[HabbyGuy]

good game so far? just tuning in

1st was great, second felt like watching a game in Jersey or something.

The whole arena felt flat.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Benching X. Stupid.

Struble had a penalty that ended up in the goal and a freaking bad turnover at the iles blueline, but mever miss a shift.

He hasn't looked good. He's a step behind. He needs to work on his skating this off-season. His turns aren't good enough.

He's probably not beaching during the upcoming break. He'll be sent back to Laval. We'll see if he is recalled.

 

[Pomee]

Gallagher and Pearson with higher ice time than Slaf!
Wth Marty? Explain yourself!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

They bench Arbs already ? Lol

2nd period was almost all specialty teams. He doesn't pk.

 

[CharleyHorse]

I'm no coach, but Struble seems to be making more and more mistakes.

Seems like he could do with less responsibility for a bit.

I blame Martin Lemay. First, there was Xhexaj, who, after receiving high praise from Lemay was given a ticket to Lavel, Then Lemay had Struble on his show and expressed amazement at how few mistakes Struble had been making. The very next game, Struble's play dropped off a cliff and Struble hasn't been playing the same since.
