GDT: Preseason game #2 Habs vs Devils 7PM ET RDS

[RODTHEBAWD66]

I speak french, but thanks for playing

Then you clearly lack math skills

 

[FrankMTL]

Lots of depth and interesting young players to watch in this year's pre-season games....I remember the last few years, we were bitching and moaning (rightfully so) as the lineups were god awful and full of "filler" type journey players that clearly had no future with the team.

 

[badfish]

Meh, yes the habs are playing some weaker rosters, but it beats the 3 years in a row (or whatever it was) we lost every pre-season game

 

[Canadienna]

My only concern is it appears the are Habs dressing a fairly soft lineup outside the 4th line.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No. People clearly don't comprehend exaggeration.

I think people would speak differently about him if he were aging into the more quiet, wise and effective leader type, rather than rabid napoleon complex type who flips out all the time. Just my 0.02.

When Bergevin gave him that contract, he seemed to think he grew a foot taller, and was The Guy......weird......................he was better as a quiet version of himself. His big mouth got him and the team in so much trouble over the years. Gally is not lacking confidence that's for sure, but I just can't figure out why???
That said, yes a heart and soul guy, but very stupid at times, so it will interesting to see if he shows up in shape, because I never seen a guy get so winded after a 40 second shift.....

We're dressing our 1st line

 

[Canadienna]

We're dressing our 1st line

Yeah I meant soft physically.

 

[Habs]

ooooohhhh quite the zinger from our local soyboy

Simoneau is a huge fan favorite in Laval. That kid is afraid of no one and will not back down from anyone. Truly a pitbull on skates.

We need guys like that !!
2nd line played last night, 1st line plays tonight.................I like they are doing this, but NJ is a tougher opponent than Philly that's for sure.

 

[EveryDay]

Yeah I meant soft physically.

Did you see the defence? Struble-Mailloux and that Liiga player are really tough + Pezzetta + Xhekaj.

MTL will be alright.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

ooooohhhh quite the zinger from our local soyboy

Doesn't it work out to 50-50 according to Knuckles link.

 

[CaptainKirk]

Slaf & Mesar vs Nemec should be fun for them

 

[WeThreeKings]

I do hope they give Dobes one full game; he might put the organization on notice.

Gonna be a big battle between Monty Primeau Dobes Fowler and Volokhin coming.

They are gonna give him one latter in the pre season.

 

[WeThreeKings]

We only got 6 games, right?

 

[Knuckles30]

No. People clearly don't comprehend exaggeration.

If the anglo ratings were 80% of total viewers and he said 99%, then that's exaggeration.

But when the actual anglo ratings are 20%, it's just mis-informed.

The Deputy is there. I don't know why you worry.

Same. I liked Dobes way more. There should have been 2-3 goals against Primeau.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Isn't it like 50-50. On TSN it was 80-20. but there were 700000 English on SN if I read it right.

RDS with Pierre and Marc over any other Habs TV broadcast. When Pierre retires, he'll leave behind a massive void.

Those 'et le buts' last night were.. rough..
We're definitely nearing the end of Houde and it kills me (Michel Lacroix is no spring chicken either..)

Huge shoes to fill

Both are iconic.. I don't know if I'll ever get used to someone but Lacroix announcing the Habs to the ice.

But even with Houde it's like Bob Cole, even when the mental faculties were fading, the voice was just so iconic that it just felt right.

We don't have many good play by play guys left, Gord Miller and Dave Randorf are probably the only two I like.

And playing Ottawa 17 thousand times ffs

There is already a somewhat big decision to be made as early as next summer too
-Primeau needs a new contract from the 900k/yr
-What to do with Dobes if Primeau gets new deal
-Do they want Fowler to play a 3rd NCAA season

The article Iinked didn't give English national ratings, but for regional games the RDS viewership is 80% of the total and TSN 20%. Considering the original comment was about getting someone to carry a pre-season game, I think the regional broadcasts are an appropriate comparison.
