GDT: Last Preseason Game - Habs B squad vs Sens Goons - 7pm EST

[morhilane]

I feel like people are upset because their saturday night became less interesting

Nobody will watch the punchable Sens get punched in the face?
Could be the last chance to see Kapanen play too!

You're not wrong.

All rests on Yosef's shoulders tonight.

I have a feeling Tuch is going to remember the way from Laval to the Bell Centre this season, or maybe we move early and free him a roster spot.

The game could still be decent, I suppose!

Last chance for many of our fringe guys to leave an impression on the brass, so yes, it definitely could still be interesting to watch.

 

[Stive Morgan]

They should give a one day contract to Laracque tonight

"Good luck, man."

 

[Beaker]

Too bad for the Sens fans that have to drive all the way out the wasteland that is Kanata to watch their farm team.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

No full line up , i understand fully

Kanata is fine.

It's the further east you go in the city the worse it becomes.

Though, Giroux got his car stolen from his house in Kanata.

It is ridiculous to pay for pre season tickets now. Half the tiime the home team shits on their fans and doesn't ice any NHL players. Icing a lot of prospects that mike make the team in the future is one thing. Dressing a lot of worthless wastes like Pare is an insult to the home fans. If people stopped buying tickets they would make changes.

Kanata is fine.

It's the further east you go in the city the worse it becomes.

Though, Giroux got his cat stolen from his house in Kanata.

That damn cat tore up all my furniture.

 

[The Last Red]

Not going to lie, not impressed by MSL on that one.

Begging your GM to call the opposing team.

Sitting some of your high profile guys who have barely played this preseason.

Not even having announced the starting lineup like... 4 hours before puck drop.

This is a p***y attitude from A to Z.

Yeah, would be better to lose key players to injury in the preseason.

 

[Prairie Habs]

I agree with you but I think it’s to increase and have a balance of in division games.

I could see an 84 game schedule being:

- 2 games against teams from the other conference (32 games total)

- 3 games against teams from the other division in a team’s conference (24 games total)

- 4 games against teams within a team’s division (28 games total)

This is what they are rightly going for.

Works but for the fact they'll keep jamming more teams down our throats as long as there are billionaires willing to pay the expansion fee.

Can't wait for the 40 team, 100 game league where there's 5-10 really good teams, 10 teams tanking for a superstar to make them a really good team, and 20-25 teams who are just kind of there.

What a pointless game besides Guhle shaking off some rust

That's mostly on Kent Hughes for having too much softness on the roster.
That team needed to get one 4th liner that actually plays like a 4th liner, instead of coming up with a total random mishmash of players who aren't good enough for the Top-9 of a team that's not particularily deep at forward.

 

[The Great Weal]

Senators would rather goon it up instead of establishing chemistry as a middle of the pack team. Very smart team there.

 

[Natey]

Love it, but why add 2 games? (I know why, money)

Regular season is already too long as it is. WHL has it perfect with 68 (albeit only 22 teams)

Too long? Nah, I'm good. 84 is great. Pre-season is too long.

Was the Oilers 4th line really much tougher than ours last year?

In the Playoffs, their 10-14 forwards in ice time:
Brown, Holloway, Perry, Ryan, Carrick

& It's not like they had much toughness in their top 9 or on D either.

The Panthers had a more physical group of depth forwards, but they also played them a lot less.

He shouldn’t be playing either. He’s Mr. Porcelain.

Those teams were Stanley Cup Finalists. It's safe to say we aren't there yet.
The Oilers 4th line DID have 4th players playing like 4th liners. They also weren't in the NorthEast division.

 

[Riddick412]

This is brutal. If you're this scared to play, cancel the game. I got tickets because they're supposed to dress an almost full lineup at this point. Disappointed to say the least.

At the end of last year, there was talk of them restarting the rebuild since they finished bottom 10 again and then they hired Travis Green...

 

[Shred]

Preseason is too chaotic for our starting lineup. *dresses Guhle coming off appendectomy*

Technically less injury prone now that he can't hurt his appendix anymore.

My OCD loves this

Ouch, that sucks for sure.
Lesson learned on my part, never buy preseason tickets.
