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

[Miller Time]

Dvo's garbage goal today is the kind of garbage goal I could see him getting quite often playing wing with talented offensive players. And when I say garbage goal, I don't mean low quality, I mean the kind a good complimentary player gets by being around the net and shovelling in rebounds and shots from the slot.

Indeed.

For all the flack he (justifiably) received, he is a smart hockey player who understands where to be on the ice.

 

[EveryDay]

It’s a snooze fest of a game.

Bring on the regular season

Yeah the game is boring, even Ottawa look like shit, they can thank Pinto, he look like the only good forward on the ice tonight.

 

[Rapala]

Let's remember why the Habs are not playing their 1st line.......and Newhoook is well aware of that.
The only win that matters tonight is for guy like Him, Guhle, and Xhekaj to stay healthy for the season.

I'm sure he will skate when the season starts.....

Pathetic excuse...
I haven't seen that out of the Senators.
"Hey Pinto don't bother skating we need you to stay healthy."
Xhekaj and Guhle are both bringing it so why you bring up their names is beyond me.
He's far more likely to get hurt when he isn't skating and he got completely buried that period while not moving his feet.

 

[morhilane]

yeah if they keep playing like this. We are drafting in the top 5 in 2025.

The only Habs D assured of a spot on the team is Guhle (Xhekaj/Barron will make the team but probably rotate). Sens have their full NHL D squad out tonight.

At forwards, Sens have Norris and Batherson too, Habs doesn't have a single 40+ point NHL forward on their line up (except Newhook if you want to count prorated but then add Pinto for the Sens, Gallagher is not that anymore).

The Senators are a lot deeper than we are.

 

[Habit11]

Was hoping for a bit stronger game from Kap and Hein, the top 12 is by no means set imo.

 

[Canadienna]

I haven't been paying much attention to the Habs camp or preseason but has there been any positives at all during camp or in these preseason games for the Habs?

Just one man's opinion but

Hutson, Dach and Struble have been good stories for the Habs so far this camp.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I don't particularly care who Hollywood claims is the most attractive but there's no way that random woman is more attractive than Karen Gillan lol.

Or Emily Blunt, or Rebecca Ferguson

Arber Xhekaj is a wrecking machine

Lane Hutson was good, will probably make the team.

That is all.

 

[Trembz]

I found the AD, no, she's not more attractive than Gillan.

I'm not sure anyone is more attractive than her anyway lmao. f*** she's perfect.

Phub says otherwise

 

[OnTheRun]

The Senators are a lot deeper than we are.

They should be, 7 straight years of no playoffs will do that.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

They should be, 7 straight years of no playoffs will do that.

And yet they aren't.

 

[WinterLion]

I have a feeling this will be a great draft year for us...

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Ullmark would look fun with Montreal ngl.
I'm getting my Tkachuk Ottawa envy again.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Logan punched his ticket to Laval for me on the play to end the period, Arber can’t fight everyone’s battles, you’re a big boy stand up for yourself

 

[Rapala]

They should be, 7 straight years of no playoffs will do that.

Yeah they are a couple of years ahead of us for sure.
Damphousse "The Senators are going to be a lot harder to beat than they were last year"
I wonder if he realizes we haven't beat them in 9 straight.

 

[OnTheRun]

And yet they aren't.

Oh they are. The Habs' depth is made off a mix of undesirable vets and inexperienced youths. Ie: Not a great mix.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

X is going to start the 3rd by beating the crap out of Shane Pinto

 

[zx81]

So I missed the first 40 minutes.
With our lineup it looks like it was a game our management did not want to play by fear of injuries.

Weird pre-season

 

[HabSgt]

Alright let's go! 4 goals for the Habs this period! Gonna be great!

 

[Habano]

Marc Denis is a wealth of misinformation

 

[Rapala]

Logan punched his ticket to Laval for me on the play to end the period, Arber can’t fight everyone’s battles, you’re a big boy stand up for yourself

He was already going.
Roy for me has looked terrible in this one he should be worried.

 

[morhilane]

The Senators are a lot deeper than we are.

In this game, yes and older with more NA/NHL experience too.

But they still look inept in the D zone. Ullmark will have to save their asses a lot.

 

[expy]

Made it past the first minute without allowing a goal.

Progress.

Stars are on the table.
