GDT: Ottawa @ Montréal | November 3rd 2015 7:30 PM | RDS, SNE, CITYM, TSN5

[Cole Caulifield]

Galchenyuk tries hard but ... sometimes his decision making is iffy. Not sure what was that pass to a tied up player (Eller I think).

 

[Runner77]

Chuckie's greater strength and extra gears, showing.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I think it's time to swap RWs on 1st and 2nd line.

DSP or Semin on 1st line and Gallagher on 2nd.

They both need a little change. They haven't been bad but it's just lack of execution.

As I say this Galchenyuk waits too long for a pass and passes it in the skates. Just need a different player on there, minor swap.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

It was a good pinch by Gilbert. He had a lot of room and he was the closest to the puck and Eller was covering for him. It didn't lead to anything this time but it was a good decision.

Agreed.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Galchenyuk really struggles in his decision making with the puck.

 

[LaP]

Gilbert once upon a time put up decent offensive numbers....

Those times are over. If he can't do the 3rd pairing job then he should be out like Semin. 3rd pairing job is to play physical and play good defense (unless you are a young offensive player learning the game like Beaulieu).

Gilbert had his chances last year on the 2nd pairing and failed. He is now a vet 3rd pairing d and he needs to play accordingly to that. When Subban gets stuck and a forward don't cover him people point fingers at him. The standard should even be higher for a defensive guy like Gilbert.

 

[Nashy]

Habs look like complete dog **** out there right now.

 

[expy]

Markov and Petry should be the #1 PP D pairing. Subban is a huge liability at the point on the PP now. He can't even shoot the puck anymore, he's "Brisebois'ing" every shot.

 

[sheed36]

Patrick Wiercioch must've really been teased a lot growing up with a name like that.

 

[japhi]

Lars looking confused on the 3 on 2

 

[Kimota]

It's maddening seeing the Sens come back in the game.

 

[Team_Spirit]

hahahahahahaha

It doesn't help when Eller looks totally lost out there.

Not happening unless it's showing on Lacroix's tablet.

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

God I hate playing the Sens, especially when we're the ones at home. They have the little waterbugs who skate like the wind against us and are effective when they see a 2 on 1 breakdown or are on the PP. The rest slug it out with a grinding game that makes it simple and forces the Habs to be rougher than they're capable of being. Meanwhile the goalie will do the rest if it falters. And they always manage to be outshot and outchanced, lose all the analytic stat battles. Throw in some subtle hooking/holding and interference and good fortune. Plus their coach (unlike the Walrus who was at least a witty troll) is a bitter beer-faced jerkass. Hmmm, it kind of feels like what it must be like for our opponents in the Therrien era

 

[sheed36]

Top line is comatose the last five games

Yup. Maybe switch a winger from the Pleks and Galchenyuk line to see if it can spark them.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Galchenyuk really struggles in his decision making with the puck.

Paccioretty's fault.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Sens are playing decent defense tonight. But yeah, we're not executing too well offensively. There will be games like that. We're going to need a few decent bounces and Condon continuing his amazing play to win this one.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

It doesn't help when Eller looks totally lost out there.

Eller is a complimentary player. He won't lead the charge.

He's had some rough stretches but he's been good at regained puck possession tonight.

 

[Tyson]

I really believe Pateryn would be a better option at this point

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

So true.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Galchenyuk tries hard but ... sometimes his decision making is iffy. Not sure what was that pass to a tied up player (Eller I think).

I think no one was trailing on D and no one stayed in the high slot to support him.

 

[NobleSix]

Galchenyuk really struggles in his decision making with the puck.

Meh, his wingers didn't really give him a whole lot of options as they both went hard to the net being tied up, and his D were caught down the ice.

 

[Tyson]

Eller is a complimentary player. He won't lead the charge.

He's had some rough stretches but he's been good at regained puck possession tonight.

I still think Lars is better at center on the 3rd line. He is not top6

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Nice plays by Subbie and DD there. Too bad Flash missed his shot there.
