GDT: Montréal Canadiens @ New York Islanders (Oct 19 - 7:00 PM, TVAS/City)

[Canadienna]

I haven't saw lines anywhere

Neither have the Habs

Maybe this is the problem with their lack of energy. If we sign Kuznetsov it could help.

 

[Runner77]

I haven't saw lines anywhere

Several game-time decisions due to multiple players nursing ailments. Only Primeau starting, confirmed. It appears that Struble is ready to draw back in.

So people who see things differently are trolls?

no but if people build narratives by ignoring all the evidence that hurts their argument. It's not trolling, but its people addicting to complaining, whose sky falls daily.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Huge game for the tanks if we loose.
BACK IN THE MIX if we win.
I'm in win-win mode already.

Truthfully the Habs have been brutal in many facets, there is a lot of evidence that points to that.

 

[LV426]

Oh, lordy lordy, plz stop a puck tonight, Primo.

 

[JuicyJofa]

I have a strange feeling that Prime will have a shutout tonight...

 

[GoodKiwi]

Not related to this game at all, but I just want to go on the record that I'll be in Montreal next Tuesday attending their home game live for the first time since May 2nd 2006 (don't we all remember that one?).

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Alright let's be positive.

Hutson gets his first.

Guhle can't get hurt because he's already hurt and out.

 

[Trabdy2]

Lineups been announced?

Can't lose baby

I'm three beers deep. beautiful weather. Michigan game on. Steaks ready for the cue. Pray I make it to game time friends. Looking doubtful.

 

[The Real Timo]

So people who see things differently are trolls?

Yep

 

[Runner77]

Lineups been announced?

Marty said that lineup would be announced late due to several game-time decisions.

 

[Jaaanosik]

That's a brilliant idea, sign Kuznetsov and Demidov will play 20min per game.

 

[Tyson]

That is strange

 

[The Real Timo]

The lineup mystery is killing me … not.

Play LM! Struble, Arbs, Pezz. Let’s have some fights. At least some entertainment.

 

[Habs13]

Meh... I'm going to the CF game instead.

 

[The Real Timo]

Oh, lordy lordy, plz stop a puck tonight, Primo.

One puck?

Isles have no fighters. Just PLAY HARD !

 

[The Real Timo]

Marty said that lineup would be announced late due to several game-time decisions.

In case of Slaf I would say if it's uncertain he can play, he probably should NOT be playing. Matheson... he shouldn't be playing anyway. We all know what we;ll get.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

Thanks 4 GDT

Buckle up buttercup this game may not be for the faint of heart.
NHL D find their step (on average) 25-27 yo, we have a ways to go!
Cheers

Pez isn't allowed, too physical, MSL prefers kind words and safe spaces. Probably sit Arbs too

 

[BLONG7]

The context here is I'm talking about their effectiveness as nhlers today and not what they might be down the road.

Guys like Murray and Davidson were not used as core guys. Back then, the defensive core had guys like markov, petry, and subban/weber. It was collectively a good defense.

Could have gotten lost in translation there......................we HAD a decent Dman core, and then the idiot chased them all away, and started offering up some bad D in place of the good ones....

Right now, it's a kiddie core, and it is not pretty based on certain nights, and based on a D system that no one seems to understand.
Is Robidas completely made of tin foil here? Who do we ask some tough questions to? Robidas? MSL?? Hughes???

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

What 3 fights ? You mean Xhekaj throwing punches to that softy and then the Habs losing fights ?

The Xhekaj, Slafkovsky, and Anderson fights? Losing fights? Geez, so now players also need to win the fight in order for them to be considered a close group that has each others back? Is this the NHL or the UFC?

You mean the game where where the Habs just talked to him and Dach was forced to go after Greig because he tried another cheap hit ?

Pezzetta went against Greig

https://x.com/i/web/status/1841262584118612401

Struble went against Greig

https://x.com/i/web/status/1841263335485874271

Xhekaj went against Stutzle

The whole game got nasty because of the hit on Dach...

You mean where Guhle went and told Puljujarvi to don't do it again ? I mean, it's great for the team Guhle didn't try anything as he'd get hurt.

They once again just skated there and weee like heyyyyy.

Guhle even just half-assed skated over after the Puljujarvi hit.

Ridiculous that you think this wasn't a good enough reaction

Of your examples the only one who did anything was Xhekaj.

You can't fight and that's fine, target that player, or their better players with hits, which the team doesn't.

There's bound to be something tonight so we can watch the Habs respond to nothing like normal.

Even if there's 10 fights tonight, and the habs win all of them, I'm sure you'll still find something to be negative about.
