GDT: Nashville @ Montreal March 2nd (Expect line changes from time of posting)

[Rapala]

I hope not for PK's sake. He's a terrible fighter.

It's going to be hard to watch the game and not just PK.

I'm betting Pleky ain't one of his favorites.

 

[loudi94]

Damn.. PK is back.

He's going to play his best game of the season.

He will take at least one if not two "trying too hard" penalties. He will also lose the puck at least once while dipsy doodling resulting in a great chance or goal against.

He will also create a ton of chances and be fun to watch.

 

[Frank Drebin]

I will be by after the game, no way I'm joining the gdt.

 

[loudi94]

At any rate tomorrow the veil of who liked and didn't like PK will be uncovered a little bit more.

 

[HBDay]

Wow just watched a few videos, we will all be pleased to know that dwight king can infact fight. Holds his own really well, stands up the whole fight, won't go down first. In a fight with Cowan from Ottawa King gets his jersey over his head, can't see a thing and still doesn't lie down.

We already know who disliked him

 

[loudi94]

I'd wager dollars to donuts we will see him and Gally get into a shoving match. No real evidence to support it but something in my gut makes me think they had a falling out sometime last year or so.

 

[Habssince89]

I hope Julien puts King with Galchenyuk, just to see if he could work. He's sound defensively, and could improve possession. His job basically would be to defend, dig, give it to chucky and go to the net haha. I think having a guy like him frees up gallagher alot too, might help him get going with some more space. Lehkonen should be the fallback, but King could fake it long enough for it to work. Keep in mind this is the second line as well.

Pacioretty-Danault-Radulov
King-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Lehkonen-Plekanec-Shaw
Byron-Ott-Mitchell
Flynn,Martinsen

Ah yes of course you were talking about the players not the posters here.

Good point, im sure the entire habs team will be fired up to play against their former teammate.

I don't know if laviolette uses PK against the other team's best the way he was used here, but PK thrives by getting under other team's best players.

When it was Pittsburgh, he would go after Crosby, if it was Vancouver, he loved to get involved with the sedins. In that sense, I think he would be all over pacioretty if he gets his way.

Both on the team, and on this board.

 

[Kunta Kinte]

Petry will score.
Another random Dman.
One of our new plug.

We lose 4-3.

 

[TheAntiPrice]

Bottom line- Habs needed to get grittier and harder to play against. Refreshing.

 

[Tuggy]

These types of games are always interesting for me (when a long time player faces his former team). Sometimes you get a chance to see former teammates really get a chance to show how they feel. I know I've had teammates that I would have loved to play against

That said, let's make it 4 in a row and make a strong push into the playoffs. The team is starting to play much better and if some of our players can break out of their slumps then things are looking good.

Thank you kindly!

You won't be here after the game if the Habs lose.

Also, I expect a classic GDT. Not sure why you wouldn't want to be part of that.

Great. Now all we need is for the Preds to dress a goon and this player might actually serve some purpose. Otherwise...

It won't just be PK's supposed enemies who'll be up for the game, it will be his friends as well. You know that if he wins he's going to be insufferably cocky about it with his buddies.

“I play for the crest on the front of the jersey. I embrace everything about this city. I love it. I’ve remained adamant of bringing a Stanley Cup and having it get back here since the day I got drafted, and that’s my focus every year" - PK Subban, Feb. 2016.

 

[Roadhouse]

Otherwise what, acquiring Dwight King basically for free was a waste? Wow.

Who would you rather have screen the goalie, King or Gallagher?

King is basically an experienced McCarron with better puck skills. I'm glad to have him as a middle-6 option, he's not awesome but he plays his role effectively. He can change the look of a 2nd/3rd line that would otherwise have Lehkonen or Byron on the LW... I would hope that our chances to pick up the garbage in the playoffs and score dirty goals increase by having a King/Shaw or King/Gally winger combo out there.

 

[Habaneros]

I expect a big night tonight from Radulov...his dislike towards the Preds runs deep.

I would imagine there is "money on the board" in the Preds dressing room for a win....

I think will see Ott and Shaw try to make it an unpleasant night as possible for Subban....and if they can drag him into the box it will be a good trade off.

Will be interesting to see Subban rush up the ice with Emelin trying to line him up.....


I think Radulov steals the stage, Habs win .

 

[sandviper]

This man love for Ott astounds me. He's trash and not the character I expected MB to trade for, but whatever. I guess I must be alone in that you can like a team but not necessarily all the players. I hope Ott does well for us of course, provided he plays, but if Forsberg lights up up with Ott in the box....

King on the other hand, looking forward to watching him play.

And of course, looking forward to seeing PK back. Tribute video moment will be hard to watch. Hope he gets goose egged and we win big, but I'll always be a fan of his.

This GDT is really a surrealist piece of art. I'll try to come around for the posting circus, this one should be a doozy.

Go Habs Go! Grind them into oblivion.

 

[Mrb1p]

King on the second line... Please dont.

[Dannyhab]

Does PK get cheered or booed by fans at the bell centre? We've booed every returning player but I have a feeling it'll be cheers .
