Pre-Game Talk: Monahan-less Habs vs Caps

[ChesterNimitz]

Sorry, I thought it was evident sarcasm, I was making fun of some takes that MSL has been doing a poor job with a terrible roster.

My bad. Your takes are usually refreshingly on point.

Thanks man, your response to my original post was bang on, I couldn't agree more.

Marty is doing a helluva job.

Too bad no GDT for Beanpot Hutson vs Fowler. Good game so far , BU coming on strong.

lol! You fooled me too. I was like, did not see this heel turn coming.

Macklin Celebrini is who we need , too bad we won't get him :-(.

Not with that attitude!

Like I know I can win the 6/49 if I just try harder! I just haven’t been putting in the work.

 

[Gravity]

f***. Playing Monty can really hurt the tank.

Took good note of your post and started a GDT.

Thanks for the heads up!

In the interview Monahan said that "all you want as a player is a chance to play in the playoffs". Hmm... is he implying that if he stayed with the Habs he wouldn't have a chance to play in da playoffs? that's kinda rude.

You thought the Habs had a chance to make the playoffs?

 

[HuGort]

Next 33 games be just running out the string. Habs maybe play .400 hockey

 

[knuck]

I fully expect any AHLer called to over perform just like RHP did last season.

We can't blame them though as they may not get that kind of opportunity again.

 

[Bacchus1]

Suzuki
Evans
Gignac
Pezzetta


Somehow this is the worse center line I've ever seen and I've been a fan for 30 years.

I think I'm team tank, now
lol

Would you prefer:

Tomas Plekanec
Scott Gomez
David Desharnais

 

[zx81]

Gignac signs and will start with the Habs too

Finally. Really happy for the guy.

 

[knuck]

Would you prefer:

Tomas Plekanec
Scott Gomez
David Desharnais

by far, yes lol
Come on. Be objective here. Plek, while not the most gifted offensive player ever, was a really good 2C. Gomez didn't bring much but at least he could enter the offensive zone without dumping the puck every time.
Desharnais gets way too much hate because Therrien is Pejorative Slured and overused him for years. He was still a decent 3C that was just overplayed.

(I wasn't taking salary into account)

Why does MSL continue to refuse to play RHP with Anderson. They were great last year.

RHP is also good with Ylonen. But I'm happy Ylonen is in the top 9.

 

[Runner77]

We can't blame them though as they may not get that kind of opportunity again.

No one’s blaming them, just reinforcing the point where a production boost may be coming from over the rest of this season.

 

[LaP]

CH 6 Caps 2.

4 goals by Brandon "Ovechkin" Gignac.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

That line-up tough?!?!

This team as it is right now would have a hard time defeating the Lions de Trois-Rivieres ffs.

We are 20 years away lol

 

[Habs13]

Habs likely going with an 11-7 lineup. Gignac playing C.

Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
Pearson-Evans-Ylonen
Condotta-Gignac-Anderson
RHP-Pezzetta (extra?)-Armia

Matheson-Guhle
Struble-Savard
Harris-Kovacevic
Xhekaj

Montembeault

That line-up is brutal. We've seen some shit but wow! It's almost funny.

 

[Habs13]

Can't wait to see the lines once we dump a few more veterans, like Pearson and Savard. Hopefully more.

Frrrreeeeeeeee faaaahhhhlliiiin'

 

[schwang26]

1-1-1 With no rhyme or reason for my thinking,, it's just what they do. 7.5 goals on the over/under.

Oh that’s a big 0-3

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

The only possibility of a win tonight is by superior goaltending, and half of Washington's team down with bad hotdog indigestion.

 

[schwang26]

As much as I wanted Gignac to help Laval, I am curious how his speed matches up in the nhl. He’s easily one of the fastest in the ahl

 

[Walrus26]

We will either get completely rolled over or that Gignac line will win the game on nuisance / AHL callup energy value.
