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

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.

So, we're going to have to wait before we find out if you have a good feeling about this one.

A NYI team with a decent roster that plays sound D will be a tall order for the "in the mix" team.

 

[Naslundforever]

Hutson 60 mins toi + 4 forwards. Hockey solved.

Heineman with the hatty.

Absolutely 0 reason to play Slaf if he’s not 100% healthy, this season is already cooked

He already looks to be playing hurt.

 

[Ezpz]

15-0 habs roy requests a trade before realizing coaches cant be traded. then quits cause he is a quitter

C'mon now, we're literally a week into the season. And Slaf ain't no ***** he will play unless it's serious - we need him!

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

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 ?

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.

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.

The last game against LA reminded me of the Edmonton game where Kassian ran over Montembeault,no pushback and completely checked out. Again this year we’re a team that when the other team needs a morale boost because of a bad span of games we gladly fold like a cheap suit and accommodate . like Toronto yet way less talented we’re going in circles. Remember that saying where they say the NHL isn’t a development league ? that should apply to coaching as well.

the goalie does it so I don't see why not

Lmao you think we’re making the playoffs?

 

[ChesterNimitz]

He already looks to be playing hurt.

Yes, his play has been at best mediocre. And if Matheson can’t play tonight those calling for Hughes to trade him will get an opportunity to see what the team looks like without Matheson playing his usual 26 to 28 minutes. What they see may not be very pleasant.

If Matheson and Guhle are out this will not be pretty.

I'm going with a resounding NO on that one, but we're still at a point where every game and point matter.

At the end of the year, where we finish will matter in the grand scheme of things, playoffs or not.

It won’t matter, and we shouldn’t be risking our franchise cornerstone to win meaningless games

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Hutson will be paired with Mailloux
Should be fun to watch

 

[The Real Timo]

I stated my feelings on the first page.

Hutson will be paired with Mailloux
Should be fun to watch

So LM will play 30 minutes in his first ever NHL game?

 

[Tyson]

This will be the 1st game that I attempt to watch. I want to see how they rebound after 2 brutal efforts on home ice

 

[Chili]

Someone should mention to Elliot Friedman that Logan Mailloux made his NHL debut last spring.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

If Matheson and Guhle are out this will not be pretty.

Its a good draft year to be bad. Very bad

 

[Beaker]

There are no great pairings for Hutson with Guhle out.

 

[Tyson]

Its a good draft year to be bad. Very bad

 

[Next Best Thing]

I guess we just disagree on the meaningless games part. Again, we played 5 games.
