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

[Frank Drebin]

He's trying to turn him into an older, non-1st round version of Tinordi. Therrien is really a master at yo-yo'ing a player and toying with their confidence. He loves you if you're an NHL longshot with a long ECHL or AHL track record apparently though (DD, Terry). Probably reminds him of his what could have been with his own failed pro career.

Yup, that must be it.

 

[Habs Icing]

Lazy Pacioretty turnovers are a given at this point.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing that. Also, he let up on that Skinner play where Petry had to come out of nowhere to stop him. Patches just stopped skating. There's something wrong with our captain.

Well, at least when it's a given you don't have to pay...

 

[Belial]

Positive in here as always I see lol

Canes did a good job of clogging the neutral zone and taking away the Habs speed.

Habs played a good road period I thought, it's probably not going to be a very entertaining game, if Habs remain patient they should win this game.

It's probably going to come down to special teams though

Seriously...

We played a good period on the road , but it's all negative as usual...

 

[Habs Icing]

Pacioretty with another awful period. He has to be hurt, he has no jump in his step and constant brain cramps.

An injury explains the no jump but it doesn't explain the brain cramps unless he's playing with a concussion.

Decent 1st period, but there are some issues that need to be addressed. Tough going right now with a patchwork lineup as well.

 

[Habs178]

He was playing like this last year as well.....He's not injured.

This. And all last year all we heard was that he hadn't healed from the summer.

Is this game as boring as I expected it to be?

I've seen worse

The bow ties are extremely entertaining.

 

[Habsawce]

I can't decide who to flex this week.

Cameron Meredith
James Starks
Thomas Rawls

Thoughts guys? *Don't care it's not on topic, it's intermission!

 

[deandebean]

We don't have a strong lineup, so can't expect much more. You see the Canes clogging the neutral zone, specially when it's the Chucky line. On the road, you don't control de matchups and it shows.

The Pleks line looked good on certain shifts.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

An injury explains the no jump but it doesn't explain the brain cramps unless he's playing with a concussion.

The C weighs a lot. It may be slowing him down.

 

[Gustave]

We did ok, but some fine points can be adjusted.

I'd say the reactions reflect pretty accurately what is happening on the ice.

 

[deandebean]

Gentlemen, this IS a grinding game.

Hey , there's no team in this league who plays at 100% all the time.

Issues are part of the game, they will work on them the whole season.

But it was a good period for us. The guys showed up and are putting in a decent effort.

The forward corps right now is ugly, and the way it's set up might be even worse. Losing Radulov makes them so much worse, it's crazy. This team lacks forward depth in the top 6 so badly.

Agreed on all accounts

Well there were two phantom goals by the Canes according to Pierre Houde, that's about as exciting as it got.

Geez, thanks Tips

Cliche of the century; getting the first goal would be important.

Man you have all three options? I kinda hate you! lol Starks is the way to go. Rawls is still gonna be behind Prosise, and well, **** Meredith.

 

[Deebs]

Alright, let's pop one in

 

[Habs Icing]

The C weighs a lot. It may be slowing him down.

It's funny the year I decided to resign myself to having Patches on the team, he plays the worst hockey of his career. I'm starting to hope that MB can trade him for a big return.

 

[Habsawce]

Man you have all three options? I kinda hate you! lol Starks is the way to go. Rawls is still gonna be behind Prosise, and well, **** Meredith.

My team has been ravaged by injuries all year, it's a miracle I have players to flex now. 3 of my first 5 picks were out from week 2 till week 10 lol.
