GDT: SCQ Game 4: Philadelphia Flyers vs Montreal Canadiens 8/18/20 3:00pm EST SN, NBC-SN, TVA, TSN 690

[Frenchy]

I have a good feeling about this game , we'll win tonight.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I have a good feeling about this game , we'll win tonight.

When they are down, they have proven to be resilient. Can we get a lucky goal for a change?

 

[habsfan891]

I'll be missing the first 2 periods due to work hopefully we are ahead when I get home.

 

[OnTheRun]

Hell yeah, the first game of the long time classic back-to-back playoffs games. Oh wait, this is not a thing usually, never mind.

Anyways gotta win this or thing will get complicated.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I have a good feeling about this game , we'll win tonight.

Afternoon games have been good for Montreal. In fact, both afternoon games that they played this post-season, Montreal is 2-0 and have 7 goals for and 0 goals against.

They won 2-0 against Pittsburgh in the series clinching Game 5. And they won 5-0 against Philly in Game 2.

 

[26Mats]

I wonder what great strategy will Muller deploy to break through the philly trap. Maybe his secret weapon will be Jordan Weal.

Looking at the lineups, I guarantee you AV has strategies in place to try to exploit the ouellet-Mete pair.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Looking at theckinuos, I guarantee you AV has strategies in place to try to exploit the ouellet-Mete pair.

When I saw that pair against the Pens... I said, That won't last long! And would you look at that... still there after 7 games. I'm surprised!

Weber is +6
Chiarot is +5
Mete, Kulak, Ouellet are all 0

If we loose tonight, I suspect they will shuffle things.

I like their effort. And they may be able to continue to weather the storm.

Ouellet's skating style is more lumbering than fluid, to say the least. But he's been effective.

Mete may one day get used to playing the right side, but that day hasn't yet come.

 

[Tyson]

Would like to see Poehling in and Belzile out.
Poehling is clutch in big games, him and Armia would be crazy punishing on the forecheck.

Fleury/Juulsen in Ouellet out.

Poehling clutch in big games? Ok

 

[bobholly39]

Did he ever, actually?

Here's a bold prediction for you. By the end of these playoffs - you'll be a Drouin supporter

I'm not even a fan of these 'playoffs', so rather than being bold, it's actually a foolish prediction.

 

[bobholly39]

Poehling clutch in big games? Ok

Poehling is Gretzky + Mario Lemieux combined - on steroids - in clutch games at the NHL level.

He has a 3.0 GPG average in games where our season can end.

He's the Nick Suzuki of the NHL

 

[The Real Timo]

So pretty much a must win game today... and I think we know Habs record of these must win games during the season. Like must wins against Detroit and NJ. This is going to go great.

 

[WeThreeKings]

The Poehling shit just completely bugs me because it's just based on nothing.

Like, I couldn't be worse than Matt Murray in the play-offs, but that isn't an argument for me to start for the Penguins.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Come on Habs, 2-1 win today. Now repeat this boys and girls:

Hakka Pälle Suomipoika Jeppo Jeppo Jeppo!

That will make KK unstoppable and the Flyers very frightened, I mean who wants to be chopped up by a Finn with a telescope hockey stick!

 

[Habby4Life]

Looking at the lineups, I guarantee you AV has strategies in place to try to exploit the ouellet-Mete pair.

He hasn’t had strategies for them in game 1,2 or 3 ????

 

[OB5]

I really hope we see the lines that we saw in game 2 and to start game 3. If Muller is so quick to give up on such promising combos then I'll lose a lot of faith in his ability to manage a roster. He needs to stick with what worked in game 2 and counter what was done in game 3. Such an easy recipe for the Flyers to beat the Habs...Muller has to be ready to fight that trap.

It'd be too little too late at that point. Ouellet has been awful, the time to take him out of the line up is right now.

 

[Hannibal]

Are we still gonna play Ouellet instead of Fleury?

Free the kid.

 

[The Real Timo]

Are we still gonna play Ouellet instead of Fleury?

Free the kid.

Do you even have to ask? Omelette all the way!

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Thwey just have to play like they played last game and it's not even going to be close. I hope they don't change anything. Last game was a freak show and it's not going to happen again.

 

[Poehday]

 

[The Real Timo]

Don't see a lot of pre-game chatter. Everyone a bit nervous?

 

[Habssince89]

Is ouellet remaining in the lineup because he's more experienced, or is it that they view Fleury as too inexperienced?
