GDT: Jets @ Canadiens Tues Jan 28th 7pm EST

[26Mats]

They'll start Monty, he's got his rest in so he should be good to go.. but Dobes should get the Thursday game. Monty should not get back to back starts unless Dobes tails off.

Especially since Monty will be at the 4 nations while everyone else will be resting.

Give Monty and Dobes every other game until the 4 nations. Then see how much Monty plays at the 4 nations, and re-evaluate after the break.

Still no live threads?

I would suggest to stop conceding 40 sog per game. Our D has not been good recently and it's not without reminding me of october and november.

Still no live threads?

At least we can react with Olli Jokinen's face now. Also can we get the button to change pages at the top of the page pls?

Also we're winning this one boys.

 

[Tyson]

Two practices in the last 15 days and it is showing. Hopefully they are sharper tomorrow

Shots could be 25 per game and the result would lagely be the same as the goalie is letting in the majority of the goals on the first 20 shots.

[Habs]

I think we are getting destroyed in this one, team hasn't looked good, Jets are huge and play hard down low. Hutson needs a better game after a few bad ones.

Man grown ass men playing at home living in 5 stars hotel to tired to do training. Imagine saying that in your daily job

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

O/U for 25.5 shots for the Habs.

Still no live threads?

Sadly, for now:

 

[cts 1998handy]

Lowry is on IR for the Jets. I think the Habs have a big advantage in the bottom two lines and also the 2nd line.

Not sure if we win or loose but the Habs will be in this game. Doubt it will be a 5-1 blowout.

If they have advantage on 3/4 of the lines it should be a win.

 

[Habs Halifax]

If they have advantage on 3/4 of the lines it should be a win.

Habs will be in this game. 2 losses in a row and Jets with 3 W's in a row and a comfortable lead in their division. I'm sure the Jets show up but this is not a game they are desperate for a W.

Don't think the depth is a massive advantage for the Habs but we should have the edge there.

It's apparently Suzuki who give his input if the boys are too tired to practice.

But they clearly are tired, the ~16 games with travel between each ones (more km travelled during that time than some teams will do over the whole season) followed by playing every other day for two weeks + whatever bugs was in the locker room (I doubt only Laine and Newhook got it) is showing the wear and tear right now.

 

[Rapala]

If we are going to win we need our top two lines to do it. Our bottom six just isn't that good despite what some have said in the past. Montembault against Hellybuyck looks like a huge advantage for Team USA.

NO PENALTIES Winnipeg's top three have 28 PP goals one less than our entire team.
They also have 18 more from secondary scoring and defense.

Line match ups are critical and the easiest line to score against is actually their top line who have great numbers offensively but also give up the most goals 5v5. I think we have to go head to head but I won't be surprised if Marty goes with Evans which I think might be a mistake.

We probably need to keep the GA to 2 or less to grab points in this one.
Winnipeg knows if they pot three they usually win or pick up points at the very least.

Go Habs Go This is a must win grab points games.

I hope to see a live game thread this year. Hope

Wait until you find out some of these guys are making 50k+ a game

Maybe Hutson need a. less ice time b. someone other than Matheson

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

i think we win this one in OT

 

[Habs Halifax]

i think we win this one in OT

I'm predicting 4-2 and Habs score on a empty net goal to clinch it.

 

[Rapala]

Still no live threads?

My GDT's are nearly live because I usually don't post much live.
I like to comment on the game between periods and make guesses on what needs to happen going forward. It also eliminates some of the emotional outbursts live threads can bring out of me. Mind you I will dive in if it bugs me enough like Suzuki's first period the other night against NJD.

 

[Dirby Kach]

Wake up call to Monty, give Dobes the game, we need every points we can get, the race to playoffs is tight

They are not going to start Dobes. They should though.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Monty will get the start

 

[JianYang]

They are not going to start Dobes. They should though.

I'd go Monty today. Probably dobes for the next game.

Both goalies need to be better though if the Habs are going to stay in this race. I know dobes is at least getting results but his form is getting looser recently.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Tampa Bay played better than us, but we won.
Detroit dominated us.
Devils played better than us, but we managed to get a point.
It's 3 bad games in a row.

We need to score first. Lately, we have played a lot of trailing games.

imo it started when Heineman went down

seems like the Habs are actually a very good team but only when 100% healthy
