GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs. Anaheim Ducks 10/20/17 10:00pm EST TSN2, RDS (HD), TSN 690

[Phil Parent]

Now let's talk about Max Pacioretty, master loser Max Pacioretty.

He's this f***ing close to just starting crying on the bench.

You're a p***y, Pacioretty. A straight up grade-A p***y that doesn't have the balls it takes to be a star. He doesn't have the heart either. He's a peripheric player waiting for his opportunities to cherry-pick. The only reason he's captain is because said cherry-picking allowed him to be good enough when it didn't matter that his p***y personality became palatable for the front page of the magazines and the paper. He's all surface, he's all nice guy and cherries, but inside there's nothing but a heartless grand ol' p***y.

Getzlaf and Kesler not being there, and I'm even more skeptical for a win...

Also anyone knows why this site runs so bad? I got a beastly gaming computer and can't even manage to scroll down the site without a 4 sec lag... Hahahah.

This is off-topic, but what the hell is going on with HFBoards. At times, I get bombarbed with ads (my addblock blocked over 400), which slows down my browser. Anybody else having this issue?

 

[HabsDood]

You are supposed to try to improve the team, not say "Oh well, it is what it is". All those players you listed are best suited for the 3rd line.

Well it is what it is and I will not make changes so i'll deal with ''it'' as I always did sice '68.. I know that some people are thinking hard while i'm patient..

I think you caught something.. Though i'm on XP, safest place to be..

 

[JianYang]

Folks hoping for the Habs to lose. You know it's sad when...

Anyways, it shouldn't have come to this. MB should've been sacked long ago. I can't cheer for the team to lose myself but I understand where people are coming from. From my perspective, rather than cheer for a loss, I'll cheer for MB's firing instead. We shouldn't have to wait for another loss for this to happen anyway.

I just can't do it. I always cheer for the win. It feels incredibly unnatural otherwise.

As far as the game goes, what has hemsky done to get what looks like an elevated role? He looks finished, and playing with plekanec isn't going to provide much more upside offensively.

 

[negative77]

I am 100% certain that we'll win this game, and Bergevin will be safe in his job again.

This post is like Robert DeNiro vs Wesley Spikes in the movie

Use Opera, it works flawlessly.

Watch out for Francois Beauchemin

Watch out for Francois Beauchemin

Watch out for Marc Bergevin.

Hey guys, I see you are all as confident about this game as we are. I know Montreal has had a poor start, but I can promise you this Ducks lineup is the worst group you have faced this season. Getzlaf, Kesler, Eaves, Kase, Lindholm, Vatanen, and Miller are all out, leaving us with 3 #6/7 in the lineup in addition to 2 4th lines (1 of them should not even be considered an NHL 4th line). Our only prayer is John Gibson stealing the game, because he is our only player that has shown up to each game.
Perry had 1 good game, but he's been a passenger since. Silfverberg had an injury in the preseason and has been invisible this year (1 assist in 6 games). Rakell tries to do everything himself. Ritchie has been injured for half our games and can't do anything when he's playing. We are icing Beauchemin, Bieksa, and Holzer as half of our defensemen.
I can't guarantee a Montreal win, but I can guarantee this Ducks team will be a huge bore to watch. Enjoy.

EDIT: Apparently Kase is in

You're in luck. The Habs offense is so bad it can make any goalie look like a world beater. Except Anders Lindback, he's the exception to the rule.

At least you can blame injuries.

A sign from the hockey gods

My bad. It actually was the Habs board. It just read like the Leafs board. Cheers!!

Teams are about even then.

 

[Habit11]

Teams are about even then.

Right. Ducks are icing multiple 4th lines because they have multiple injuries. Habs’ ice multiple 4th lines because the GM is terrible.

 

[MaxDummy]

If we lose against this Ducks line up I buy a ticket from a scalper next home game, a seat right where the hard Cam always aim, and put a paper bag on my head. Maybe I could dress as a waste collector, too.

 

[CHaracter79]

The rest of the forwards after the first line is vomit worthy.

you really have a problem with lehkonen, byron gallagher hudon ?

 

[The Great Weal]

you really have a problem with lehkonen, byron gallagher hudon ?

On the 2nd line? Yeah. Compare it to cup contenders.

 

[vokiel]

Teams are about even then.

Except for the size of the IR list

I feel the same way. Can't do it.

I totally get people wanting MB gone and going for a high pick and all that. But I just can't actively cheer against my own team. It just goes against the grain.

 

[Adamcrazy3]

If we can't win against this Ducks lineup then there is no hope.
