GDT: Preseason Game 5 - Habs vs Sens 7pm Est TSN & RDS

[morhilane]

Nah, they’re icing pretty much their regular lineup

Already trying to cheat. Playing 4 D pairs!

 

[HuGort]

When year after year your team is the leagues most injured in man games lost it becomes very disheartening.

Over 1,600 man games lost last three years

As should we....hopefully

I lost my 'like' priveledges for making a joke and calling everyone 'soyboys' who 'drink pumpkin spiced lattes' so Thanks for the info

Imagine it will take time. Have to trust in Marty

True, but at the same time it sounds like MSL has been hands on the pp for a bit and it's still trash.

I know the talent isn't the greatest, but when you go 10 seconds without anyone in front and you have control of the puck, your pp f***ing sucks.

There's no issue with the talent level, it's all scheme and the complete lack of movement. Not sure why this hasn't been addressed over the past couple of years.

The PP is missing a slap shot from the blue line. Both Matheson and Hutson shot are on the weak side. The dmen who have a good shot lack the mobility and hockey IQ to play on the PP. That's an issue KH will have to solve eventually.

 

[Maitz]

Have to be honest... not sure I even give a shit anymore. Have been here through out all the crap but loosing Laine is so deflating. Don't know I can keep doing this to myself.

I feel the exact same way

 

[SwiftyHab]

Roy getting a look.
No first line out there.
Hutson made the team
Kapanen trying out Dvorak's wing. could be a test with Dach on the 2nd line later

To have movement, you need to move the PK box to create space for the other players and those players need to move that space fast and receive give and go passes. Habs haven't had a PP QB who can move the box since Markov ( Hutson looks like it, but Matheson is still on PP1 so...) and the overall team passing speed is way too slow (lack of anticipation from everyone).

yeah I miss the 2Ds 3Fs powerplays, Xhekaj and Mailloux slap shots are not tested, also Guhle and Barron can see some PP time if they go that way, keep Matheson and Hutson making the plays but have a heavy shot option at the point to go with.
Also last year we got so many goals against on the PP, 2Ds might help even a little bit
I may be completely in the wrong, but why did we completely abandon the 2Ds 3Fs powerplay these last few years?

What an interesting line-up.

Dvorak now the 4th C it seems.
Heineman getting another look on probably the line he would play on if he stays up.
Kapanen getting an audition on the wing.
Roy/Dach/Armia could end up an actual line.

Pezz still only playing on the 4th line...

A decent pre season line up.

 

[Habs]

Under two different training groups

the system hasn't changed, playing the wrong style of game with small teams = the same injury results.

There is something to what you are saying.

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Need to wrap Slaf, Caufield, Dach, Hutson in bubble wrap.

they heard you, they not even in the lineup, except Dach

 

[morhilane]

Thinking about it, the Tuch-Condotta-Pezz line is going to allow direct comparison of those two to Pezz.

 

[Guy Larose]

Dach out for the season....might as well write it now

 

[Pazucha]

Is this the last pre-season game? Does this mean the first line only played two pre-season games?

Nope. First of back to back games vs Sens to end the preseason. Next one is saturday in Ottawa

October 5th

 

[Trabdy2]

Interesting to see them call up Condotta and Tuch after just sending them down.

Maybe after last game they want to see some more physical play.

Oh ok good to know the nhl.com site says the regular season starts 4th october and we play the sens on the 5th..
