GDT: Montreal @ St. Louis, Saturday October 29 | 7 pm | CITY, SN360, TVAS

[JianYang]

What was wrong with this?

Didn't say there is anything wrong with that, necessarily.

It's just cool to see a simpler time with less corporate influence in one snapshot.

Woah Martin put on his big pants

I was being sarcastic (I should have noted that better). That was from the Atlanta Thrashers arena. They renovated afterwards to remove the wall of luxury suites, which, imo, was just too much.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Only way I can come to terms with Hoffman on the 1st line (or in the line up for that matter) is I envision he’s the covert tank commander that only MSL & HuGo know about.

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

Habs are already a better team with Slaf, Pezzetta and Armia in the line up.

Wow

Good luck my friends!!!

Cheers to the best team

So many nice responses

On my bucket list is visiting your hockey stadium one day

 

[OldCraig71]

Anyone surprised that Jonathan Drouin is now becoming a healthy scratch more and more?

Different management group now, vets will have to sit because the priority is to develop a new core group and most of them won't be here when the team is ready to compete for a playoff spot.

The Mike Hoffman show

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

Ok since you guys and girls speak French, do you also eat French food?

I just got back from Paris and my favorite thing was the mounsire. Or a spelling or such. The man I think?

Does Montreal have the French culture or just the language?

The Mike Hoffman show

I think Hoffman is not used correctly.

He has one of the best shots in the league IMO.

it’s a different French culture and accent than France. Kind of like US vs UK.

What do the French think of your accent?

 

[Treb]

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

I read,

Jake Allen will be gardening with his parents.

 

[Treb]

What do the French think of your accent?

Depends which QC accent.

Deep QC accent is to the French what southern US accent is to the UK.

The French culture connection ended when the French lost the war back in the 1700s, so we diverged quite a bit since then.

 

[Kennerback]

What do the French think of your accent?

Can’t say for sure, but I know it isn’t easy for some of them to understand local slang when they get away from bigger cities like Montreal or Quebec City.

 

[Treb]

I read,

Jake Allen will be gardening with his parents.

Gardening is jardinage. Gardien is goalie.
Parents is parents. Partant is starting.

Jake Allen sera le gardien partant contre les Blues.

means

Jake Allen will be the starting goalie against the Blues.

If you want the word for word without adjusting the syntax:

Jake Allen sera (that's "will be") le partant gardien contre les Blues.

 

[Rapala]

Can we leave Hoffman in St. Louis after the game?

I don't know but it's sad to find ourselves in the same conundrum as last season without a viable right winger for our first line.

 

[Belial]

He's playing on the first line... What else does he need?

 

[Bacchus1]

Woohoo! Go Habs go! So much trash talk aimed at Hoffman, you have to think he is going to get a goal or three tonight!

 

[Rapala]

No way. Lol. Dadonov should sit. Pitlick would be better.

Pitlick seems to have aspirations of grandeur. He hasn't embraced his role on the fourth line. Another one of our players who won't survive beyond this season as a Hab.

Ah la vache! Casser les oreilles pour faire l'andouille. Devenir chêvre et chercher la petite bête. Arrête ton char avant de tomber dans les pommes. Avoir un chat dans la gorge?

Anyway Go Habs?

He's signed for another year...

 

[Rapala]

He's signed for another year...

so

 

[Belial]

so

Well, he's probably gonna be here next year also.

 

[JianYang]

Drouin is the one player that doesn't fit the general trend of these expiring contracts getting a longer leash.

Dadonov, and Hoffman are on the same boat but they are getting more opportunities. Monahan has played well and has already been elevated for a time on the top line.

 

[Belial]

I don't know but it's sad to find ourselves in the same conundrum as last season without a viable right winger for our first line.

If Armia could wake the f*** up and play a more constant game, he would be a good fit on that line.

He's good at generating turnovers and can get the puck back on the boards and in the corners.
