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

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Pea shooter offense continues it seems. Really feels like its going to be a struggle. Maybe Cap Space will have a career year tho

 

[Goldenhands]

Alzner
Hemsky

 

[NobleSix]

I think his job is to draw them in and open up the sides.

Shouldn't that be Gallagher or Hemsky's job? Why put Galchenyuk there when you could have him on the right side wall taking shots and moving the puck around?

That's a pretty lame plan.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Is Streit in the top 6 out of respect or his he a better option than Davidson or Morrow?

Unfortunately, better than Davidson and Morrow. Streit will be the 7D when Schlemko gets back. The guy can't come back soon enough.

 

[G0bias]

The decision was made to move up on his own. Alzner is there. Petry makes the decision to not make that pass and go up. Why are you trying to blame Alzner for Petry's bad decisions?

Never blamed Alzner. He is what he is. A rich man's Josh Gorges and poor puck mover. I blame Bergevin for thinking it was a good idea to sign him after getting rid of pretty much all our puck moving defensemen.

All 3 were equally horrible in training camp. Pick your poison.

I know. IF that's his role (it's the one I'm guessing it is), I wouldn't put Galchenyuk there. But then again, why it's Galchenyuk there is because the other team will respect him more than they would a Gallagher since Galchenyuk has a much better shot from there. It's a guess on my part.

 

[GellMann]

Bad period, keep it 5on5 ffs!

Agreed.

 

[buddahsmoka1]

Should just put Mete in place of Weber on first unit. And then use Weber's shot for the 2nd unit.

Yeah...no.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

I am anxiously waiting to see if the Habs will be able to score 3 or more goals in 41 or more games this season. I wonder if they will be in the top10 of this category. I wouldn't count on it...

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Yeah...no.

I would have been surprised if people agreed with me. I still stick to my guns on this though.

 

[sandysan]

We will be the king's of the 2-1 squeakers!

 

[vokiel]

We will be the king's of the 2-1 squeakers!

No puck luck, it won't happen.

 

[sheed36]

Galchenyuk looks like he's checked out and doesn't care much anymore. He looks completely lost at LW. At least when he was playing center he looked dangerous offensively at times. I'll be very surprised if he lasts the season as a Hab.

 

[peate]

Next team to score wins the game.

 

[JoeDrouin]

On LW. No ****

Stop spinning the wheel geez.

Weak as f*** mentally if that's the case.

Unfortunately, im starting to think this way too.

 

[Tyson]

Still trying to figure out how the meeting with Bergevin and his minions went when they collectively decided to sign Karl Alzner

 

[NobleSix]

lol you know that habs last 20 years have been bleak when you grow up idolizing Tomas Plekanec.

 

[SB164]

During that PP, Drouin controlled the puck beautifully and Gally fought tooth and nail to retain it. Then, Galchenyuk lazily gave it away with an errant pass.

 

[Tyson]

Unfortunately, im starting to think this way too.

Maybe he has regressed and is no longer the player we drafted 3rd overall?

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Here we go.. Chucky is now officially the new scapegoat.

 

[durojean]

Galchenyuk as always been a better centerman. He was one of the best in the nhl before his injury. And it's not like Danault and Plekanec are better than him.

You want to get good game from him put him at center and let him become what you need. He never was a game changer as a winger but he as been as a center...

Can you blame him? If my idiot boss kept having me work a job that I wasn't meant to do, I'd say f*** it too and mail it in. The kid should be playing at center and if its not going to happen with Plekanec and Danault picked ahead of him... its never going to happen! He'll get traded, be given the chance and will become a top level center.

Habs ALWAYS play favorites and it never pans out.
