[red devil]

St. Louis may not even play Primeau on a back to back against a bottom 10 team in the league, he is unplayable at this point.

So MSL doesn't know who's in net on Saturday...does it means we can expect another trade?

Carrier is going to wear 45 apparently.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Are we going to get a backup for this year lol

I'd play Primeau every game but that's just me

 

[Team_Spirit]

Omg just give Pezzetta a game! It's Christmas Marty.

I think it's Montanbo unless he shits the bad on Friday... and even then... it's still likely Montanbo to redeem himself on Saturday. Primo is done.

 

[le_sean]

Imagine not being able to trust Primeau against the Red Wings. Just put him on waivers

Tomorrow? We aren't playing today? I need my Laine dose shot today. I can't wait another day.

Monty can't play all the remaining games until the end of the season. There is like 10 back-to-backs left and Habs basically play one game every other day starting in January until April outside the 4 Nations two weeks off...where Monty might be playing games anyway.

Habs will be out of a goalie by mid-January if they don't play a backup once in a while.

Seeing Guhle's reaction to the Barron trade, some of the Habs are going to be playing depressed tomorrow.

Close group...................the guys hate seeing their friends traded...

Guhle is sad for the tank that's why

I didn't see his reaction. He look sad or something? It is apparently a close knit group but we need Carrier more than Barron. I'm looking forward to see Carrier play.

No, it's a back-to-back, home-and-home series with Detroit.

@Detroit Friday
In Montreal Saturday.

Wow! I might overdose in this case of too much Laine!

 

[Tyson]

Goalies playing back to back games is not an insane concept.

Marty Brodeur used to play like 65 games a season... granted it was behind a tab better defense... but still. I think it will be good for Monty. Builds karakter.

 

[Skip Bayless]

So you're telling me the game isn't tonight?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No, but it's unusual these days.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Correct. It's tomorrow night.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Give Pezzetta the net instead of Primo

Cant be worse

And Monty needs a rest

 

[Tyson]

No, but it's unusual these days.

I remember Glen Hall played 560 consecutive games. I know it was a different era but Brodeur, Fuhr would routinely play over 65 games per season.

This is the era of load management, G don’t play BTB games(except crucial late season or playoff games), or more than 55GP per season - Winter-peg has been the exception and they’ve paid for it as Hellebuyck has been drained come playoffs

Many teams starting this season, have also limited the # of practices G participate in

Guhle said he was sad and tough seeing him go. He mentioned most of the players live close to each others and hang out a lot and that included Barron.

Hopefully Carrier fits right in. Looks like a fun guy and he said he knew a few of the players on the team already.

 

[The Real Timo]

No, but it's unusual these days.

It's also unusual to play Matheson over 20 minutes per game yet here we are.

 

[OldCraig71]

The Carrier era begins.
