GDT: Rangers @ Habs Oct 25 2014 7pm CITY/TVA

[WeThreeKings]

It's only biased when it's french Canadian refs tho. When the Habs play the leafs and all the refs are from Ontario, then it's not an issue.

Gotta love when people continue to push a false narrative.

habs played 7 games this years and never had more power play opportunities than the other team in those games. In fact, the Rangers and the Habs has the least power play opportunities(the Wild only played 5 games) this years.

Typical Montreal

go habs go

In terms of PP minus PK time we're the worst team in the league at home :

We're 27th if you consider total PP minus PK time :

Pretty shocking considering our record. You'd think that this would happen for a bad team, not a good team.

Hummmmmmm...

Three pages into this and no good words for the thread-starter?

This thread is a hymn for the common poster, it defies the convention that you need to be outrageously innovative with code and linux jokes, or spelling names backwards or even, display mind-blowing shooping.

It embodies the concept that anyone can start a GDT thread -- and that's not belittling anyone, but rather it elevates the spirit of those who feel intimidated by feats of artistic imaging -- it brings the power back to the people. It should be celebrated rather than ignored. Hopefully, it also ushers in a favorable outcome in tonight's game.

Thread starter is a genius.

Its funny b/c people who whine about the refs dont really watch MTL games. When ever a French Canadian refs the habs we get destroyed by them lol. Also if you look at the last couple of years we've had the least amount of PPs and probably most called back goals.

 

[Krautso]

The Rangers are not a very talented team. I expect victory.

Somebody tell me why I sense a Travis Moen hat trick tonight?

I'll give you my phone number if Moen really scores 3 goals

 

[coolasprICE]

I like this GDT. Simple and Easy, just like the girls I've always dated.

 

[CanadienShark]

4-1 Habs

Sucks that Sekac isn't playing.

[Summer Rose]

Will miss this game. Doing my officiating seminar this evening.

(Insert blind ref joke)

 

[ROSSter]

lol

 

[Stive Morgan]

Probably gonna be a comeback 1-goal win like all the others

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

Calling Manny's first goal with habs tonight

 

[dutchy29]

forget the rivalry, Habs are showing lots of character this year with come from behind victories but have still only played a full 60 minutes maybe twice. Which is a good thing, because we can still get better and build on our start. For the first time in I can't remember how long, no coaching controversy, and no constant chatter about lines and who should be playing and who shouldn't, I think it must be helping the team to focus on the ice.
Things I would love to see improve in their game, team defense, PP, PK.
The 5 on 5 is solid so far and Price will only improve with time as the season progresses. Need a big two points.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

I hope we get no power play, 7 penalties and still win the game.

Hummmmmmm...

On the main board, I did a whole breakdown of Montreal's penalty woes over the past three seasons. Overall, 3rd-period only -- we remain one of the most penalized teams in the league. However the conspiracy nuts shake and bake it, we've received no favours from the refs. None at all.

Only if the seminar is in french apparently...

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

we will get 1 pp and score on it and people will say refs are on our side yet we will have 12 against

 

[MicroFracture]

Heh.

If French fans started saying all anglophones refs are biased against us, we'd be the laughingstock of the league, but these people will claim that French refs can't be impartial and this, without noticing how hypocritical they are.

 

[Skip Bayless]

If the rags end up with more PPs than we do, I want each and everyone in this board who owns a twitter account to tweet that account the stat.

Nash gets 4.

It's not the playoffs, so you gotta watch out for Nash.
