GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Carolina Hurricanes 11/18/16 7:30 PM EST SNE, RDS, TSN 690

[Rapala]

It will be interesting to see Pleks in a third, and in my mind based on his play proper chair.
This is why some of us were against his resigning...
and some thought Eller was expensive as a third.
What do Pleks and DD add up to?

 

[Fazkovsky]

I would do

Hudon - galchenyuk-rad
PAC-danault-Gallagher
Carr-plekanec-dd
Byron-Mitchell-Shaw

Ghetto extra

 

[pepperMonkey]

Reminds me of this one

Always like him. He has always been ragged on because of how slow he was...yet he has generally always been effective. Always thought he was underappreciated. He probably would have been a much better player if he was shorter, and hence, faster.

 

[AHShadow]

With Radulov out tonight I'd probably go with

Byron - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Pacioretty - Danault - Shaw
Hudon - Plekanec - DD
Carr - Mitchell - Flynn
Andrighetto

Wouldn't mind switching Hudon and Byron as well just to see him in a top-6 role and could be a good setup guy for Chucky. I really hope Hudon gets to play.

I'd also switch DD and Andrighetto, but DD just had a two-point game so I'd be surprised if he's scratched.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Go Habs!

Picture taken just outside my work place. Pretty cool to see Price hanging out with Pateryn and Emelin on his day off.

Saw you post this on Reddit too (or one of you is lying if you didn't post it). Hello.

 

[Nicko999]

I know he has 18 pts and is #8 in league scoring but I haven't liked Galchenyuk's play so far this season (minus a few games). I still think he can play much better.

It's time for him to win us a game on his own, #1C do that.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Is Hudon playing?

Is Hudon playing?

No forward was present at the morning skate.
So.. Hard to tell.

 

[Runner77]

There were only 3 players at Habs skate this morning. No info about lines at this point.



Forward lines for Carolina are as per OP. Ward is starting.

Ehhh... MT usually doesn't call for a "point de presse" at 5PM on gamedays...

 

[LastWordArmy]

Any confirmation on lines?Is there a practice today?

No mandatory game day skate today. Just an optional. (which very few players did) .

hopefully he's stepping down and will let Muller coach

good luck tonite guys

hoping for a fun one

but just an fyi: we could really use two points

so i am holding this piece of habs history hostage unless you let us win

(inherited it from my dad who got it from his mom

it is pretty cool to own this tbh )

 

[Lebowski]

That Desharnais - Plekanec - Terry 3rd line just gave me eye cancer.

That's a pretty good 3rd line IMO...

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

Byron-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Pacioretty-Danault-Shaw
Hudon-Plekanec-Andrighetto
Carr-Desharnais-Mitchell

 

[Teufelsdreck]

All I can say is that Carolina is an improved team. The Canes played well to defeat the Caps, and if they can beat the Caps they have the potential to win a game against the Habs. However, they'll still be underdogs.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

no Radulov again *****

anyone know if he's looking hopeful for the Toronto game tomorrow?

 

[deandebean]

Why a press scrum at 5? Weird.

If we manage to win tonight , I think they'll rest him till Tuesday.

Even if he's not sick anymore , i guess he still feels weak ...

But who knows .

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

That's a pretty good 3rd line IMO...

Said Rejean Houle...

If you're in Tank mode, 2 x 13th forwards flanking a guy who's struggled mightily to find his game is great

Watch them put up a bunch of points but that's not where the smart money is

This made me lol

I'm seriously crying if it's to announce that DD is scratched.

Not that it would make lots of sense (see last game), but I could expect a Presser for Weber being a healthy scratch. Not DD.

I mean , I don't want this combination as our 3rd line for the whole season.

But I can see it actually working... Plekanec is going to break out of his slump at one moment right?

He's still skating hard out there , I didn't noticed him losing a step .

He's getting chances , just seems snake bitten at this point...

Maybe DD can spark him
