GDT: Montréal Canadiens vs. St-Louis Blues (Oct. 26 - 7:00 PM, TVAS/City)

[Kennerback]

Newhook/Armia were demoted to the bottom 6. Isn't that what people wanted?
Or do you like want Dvorak on the 1st line?

It's not like there is a many options when half the forwards are playing like crap.

Sorry for the cliche but we have no choice but to reorder the deck chairs on the Titanic. Our bottom-9 is ridiculously bad. We’ll lose just as bad but at least I have a feeling of change.

 

[Tyson]

We can’t criticize Marty cause he wouldn’t take advice from us.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

He did last year 14 times.

And Michkov did today

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Bruh what? He's been one of our best players in the past few weeks.

He's done pretty much nothing. Being better than other players on the team who suck and won't be with the team, or likely the NHL much longer isn't a good reason to keep him around adding nothing.

He has 0 registered hits, 2, or 3 blocks, but good on the dot.

He shouldn't be here and the team keeping him here is just showing they're not smart.

He shouldn't have made the team.

Playing likely top 6 in an easier league to gain more confidence and hopefully a better situation next year is much more beneficial than this team trying to keep him here to open up a way to send him to the A.

He's here, so I'd give him until next Saturday with "better" linemates/more usage and see what comes of it. If he doesn't improve, send him to Sweden.

Nothing and neutral is actually quite good on this team filled with "negatives and bad".

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nothing and neutral is actually quite good on this team filled with "negatives and bad".

And he's being unnecessarily exposed to this shitshow

First two pre-season games he looked good, as did a lot of others. After that almost no one looked good.

If a player isn't quite ready for the NHL, you shouldn't force them there when everything is just going wrong so far.

Seeing how the season is going and how much it sucks when Demidov gets like 30 seconds a game, I'm kind of happy he's there getting that little time than here and just having everything go wrong

 

[SlafySZN]

And Michkov did today

Slaf should score while he's not playing?

What's with this attack on a injured player, who's not even a goal scorer in the first place. He's PPG in the games he played this year also, by the way.

Why is Dach given opportunity after opportunity only to keep shitting the bed and bringing down his line. It’s nice to try and get him going, but it’s also nice to have accountability too.

Because plan B is even worse.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Playing against a team of ''gros bonhommes''. Nobody in the Blues line-up is below 6 feet. Gonna get dumpstered again.

Big team that plays big.

I got the habs fans blues..*whistling*

They skate well to boot.

Reminder that our last win occurred Oct 12

You need to grow up if you think that was an attack.

Someone argued that Michkov was bad because he hasn’t scored at even strength. I simply pointed out that Slafkovsky hasn’t either. Michkov had 7 games played and Slaf had 6 - hardly an attack on an injured player as you so dramatically put it

 

[OldCraig71]

Make sure you are sitting in a comfy chair with a bottle of booze & that your neighbours are aware that you will be screaming "WHAT THE f*** ARE YOU DOING??" between 7 and 10 tonight.

I decided not to buy booze today because I knew I would kill most of it by the second period.

You never want that type of team, same as Vegas. You want small fast teams that get blasted in their faces, driven into the boards, injuries galore and little puck posession. Its a system that has worked so long here I hope we never change. Good times.

Habs have never been fast.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Habs have never been fast.

They were in 07-08... Koivu, Plex, Higgins and AKost were all pretty fast, that's why they dominated on the rush.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

A note to people who watched the game on Prime a few weeks ago: You also have access to CityTV through live TV on Prime, which has Habs games, like tonight. Don't think it's 4k though.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Do we have lines?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Do we have lines?

Players coked up might actually give an effort.

The lines are sad. Better if you don't know them

 

[jrom]

Do we have lines?

Same forward lines

Fairly certain he gets sent to Laval to make for Laine when he returns. I think the AHL is rhr best place for him and this is how we get him the fastest. When that happens, he's going down with a solid taste for NHL hockey and with a list of what he needs to improve on. I think we are doing the right thing here.
