Pre-Game Talk: Round 1 Game 4 : Washington @ Montreal Sunday April 27th 6:30pm EST

[Habs13]

So his hand injuries explain his IQ slow movements and lack of giving an extra effort. Alright

Be fair. His knee isn't 100% either. Hasn't been all season.

It’s likely all of it.. I’d still do that trade again anytime. Oh well.

 

[Habs13]

I'd do that trade all day every day!

 

[Lycanthrope]

If Thompson is not playing, I don't see Caps have an advantage in net. Dobes is solid. Too small sample size though, but generally solid for a rookie.

Needs to control his nerves though. The guy is emotional, not sure if that’s good or bad but then again I guess Patrick was too.

 

[Lycanthrope]

A lot of our defencemen have been “liabilities” at one time or another.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Cant believe i just paid 850 to go in the greys. So freaking hyped lol

Can’t take it with you man. As long as you can still put food on your table and pay your rent, I say the hell with it Yeah I’ve accepted. I’ll probably never have any real money but can you really put a price on experiences like that and the joy that could result.

 

[Lycanthrope]

I don't know, maybe just me, but my heart attack part are the long shots near the blue line that Monty seems to have a hard time tracking.

Just like Meatloaf said you literally took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly what I was thinking just now.

 

[BoNeS42]

Amen

 

[WeThreeKings]

Stubborn Marty wouldn't let us lose game 3.

I never understood singling out Arber in this aspect.

 

[Toene]

I don’t want Primeau in a single game this playoffs. Better to try Fowler

Primeau is on fire since he was sent to Laval.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Primeau is on fire since he was sent to Laval.

Yes. But only In laval.

Ovechkin à propos du Centre Bell: "c'EsT lA mÊmE aMbIaNcE qu'à wAsHiNgToN"

Oh wow I didn't know Ovechkin smoked crack

 

[Tyson]

I never understood singling out Arber in this aspect.

So unfair. Yes he has alot to learn but he is adequate as a bottom pairing. He will get better.

You were right sitting 92 and they won the game

 

[Laboeuf]

Something I get from this playoffs.

1. I understand why management drafted Reinbacher over Michkov. Big horse defenseman.
We can’t win with too many smaller players. We need like 5 more Josh Andersons.

The year we went to the finals>
Weber 6’4”
Edmundson 6’5”
Chiarot 6’4”
Petry 6’3”
Merrill 6’4”
Kulak 6’3”

Anderson 6’3”
Perrry 6’3”
Armia 6’4”
Staal 6’4”

Also a reason they drafted Slaf

 

[sampollock]

Also a reason they drafted Slaf

And why KH is going to get some beef to get some grit on this team this summer

 

[Naslundforever]

Am I understanding these guys also have a 6’6” 250lb guy than can play incoming???? wtf How do I remember nothing about Protas?

He's just their best forward.. most likely not cleared yet based on videos

This here on nhl.com seems to say he’s a probable start tomorrow

Habs have a “their best 6’7 275lb forward” incoming to counteract, right?

 

[salbutera]

He scored against Habs at Bell Centre during caps last visit during the season.

Protas is huge but not at all physical.

With some of the best 5-5 numbers in the league. He is a young, had his breakout season this year, and has been injured. He isn’t very engaged physically, but he is surprisingly fast for a giant. Who knows how effective he will be given he had some lower body issues, possibly a broken foot.
