GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres 10/5/17 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

You can't send Mete back at this point. Our defense is just too bad to even think about doing that.

Really hoping he can handle the NHL. So far so good...

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Hemsky is lucky it’s not Michel behind the bench.

He's lucky I'm not behind the bench. I'd sit his sorry ass down the rest of the game. He's f***ed us good.

 

[vokiel]

Patches the ghost princess on the blue line

Too bad the impression wasn't good enough to not be seen eh.

 

[The Right Price]

De La Rose is playing well

 

[habergeon]

Maybe I'm watching a different game, but Alzner has looked fine to me tonight. Petry's having some issues with the Sabres speed but Alzner's been fine.

 

[the]

Get out the defensive specialist, Karl Alzner

 

[Beige Van]

Damn 5 on 3

 

[sandysan]

Stop slashing guys.

The rinkiest of dinks

 

[LastRide]

They score here its over.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Pacioretty can be dumb some time.

 

[JuicyHam]

Really can't afford to take penalties against this team

 

[googlymoogly]

What a BS play Pacioretty just stood there and braced for the hit. Now players have to get out of the way.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

I think Mete, Drouin, and Hudon will make a lot of us gush.

They absolutely will! I can feel it in the air toooonightttt, oh Lordddd!

 

[CauZuki]

Oh boy here we go...

 

[Cole Caulifield]

We look so bad right now...

 

[Kimota]

That PK looks terrible this year. Habs look like deers waiting to be shot.

 

[Nedved]

Price. This is why you got the big contract. Keep us in the game. Please.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Vets look completely braindead tonight

1.5 periods down, 244.5 to go

 

[Kriss E]

Neither is Beaulieu.

That doesn't make Benn good...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good job Weber and Alzner and Pleky for winning that face-off.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Eichel got some serious skills.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Good play by Weber !

 

[Runner77]

To be fair, and I don’t mean this to be an excuse since Benn is playing terribly, but he’s always much better as a RD. Whenever he plays on the left side he looks completely different. I think he’ll be effective with Schlemko who can skate well.

Interesting observation. Could this be part of Julien having to try different permutations so as to figure it out? The same way he's using Galchenyuk on left wing whereas most of us appear to agree that he's more effective on the right.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Eichel got some serious skills.

Like, seriously.
