A loss tonight would make 5 in a row. With 9 losses in last 11 games.

 

[BLONG7]

Looking for some goals tonight!! Stop whiffing on pucks and chances guys.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

I would like to see a shake up to the lineup a bit to get a possible spark.

Caufield Suzuki Slafkovsky
Heineman Dach Anderson
Newhook Dvorak Gallagher
Pezzetta Evans Armia

Hutson Guhle
Matheson Struble
Xhekaj Savard

Newhook centering Gally and Army last year worked really well. I’m surprised they haven’t gone back to that yet

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

If this isn't a Tank celebration game I don't know what is

 

[Rapala]

Losses to NJD and the Leafs will be a back breaker.
It may even make Monday's stupid afternoon game a contest for the least in the east.

They will not drop Evans to the 4th line No Way No How.
He's been arguably our best center this season I found Newhook Evans Slaf had some spark last game.

What we need to do is to get Suzuki firing on all cylinders if we don't do that we are f***ed.
I would flip Evans and Suzuki to get an idea of what is really going on.

Im going to take heat here....but give Gally a shot in the top 6. He consistently plays with heat, and he has looked good so far.

Let's see....

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield
Heinemen - Dach - Gally
Newhook - Evans - Armia
Pezzetta - Dvorak - Anderson

I didn’t see the last game but the Flames are doing pretty well this year so seeing the Habs take them to OT is somewhat comforting. That said, the only good thing about this horrid losing streak is that it’s very early in the season. They can totally turn this around. I rather this happen at this time than later in the year.

I can honestly say I don't give a flying f*** about line combos anymore. The team is terrible no matter what and until they have proper NHL coaches and system that suits this makeup of the players the line juggling will do SFA. Oh, and goalies stopping pucks. That would be good too.

the only good thing about this horrid losing streak is that it’s very early in the season.

... or they can have a more horrid one later on. There are not signs from watching their play that indicates they can just turn it around. Zilch!

 

[PhysicX]

Do some sodding shooting drills ahead of this one, please.

Yes, that means you Newhook & Guhle - you're first up.

I was at the game on Tuesday, and couldn't believe the amount of weak, fanned or shots completely missing the target. Confidence has to be pretty low for such results.

By the way Tony, hope you and your family are doing great. Go Habs Go!
