GDT: Game 35: The Dreaded Holidays Trip: Habs @ Panthers, Dec 28, 2024, 1 pm | TSN2, RDS, ESPN+

[The Real Timo]

Stupid matinee games.

Any news on Laine? Like anything? Or is this going to be a mystery wrapped in enigma until after the warmup?

Dobes in net, as discussed to death earlier to day. I smell shutout.

[NewDef]

I'm eager to see how Dobes will fare with an NHL defense. It's been much better on D since adding Carrier (2-1), it will help for sure.

 

[Runner77]

Laine is fine, participated at practise this morning.

 

[Skip Bayless]

We are definitely getting run into the ground by the panthers and there's nothing we will do about it.

[The Real Timo]

So back to how the bottom lines were when they used to work a lot better. Matheson and Hutson again... I am in awe! You couldn't find 2 defensemen who shouldn't be playing together more.

We need another trade. Let's go Hughes. Xmas is over... back to work!

 

[vokiel]

Thoughts? Fourth line should be Newhook - Dach - Armia.

 

[Habssince89]

AI art is just god awful lmao

 

[Heffyhoof]

I thought Carrier was acquired to play with Hutson, but I suppose the team wants one offensively charged pairing, and a smooth skating defensively responsible pairing.

Hater.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Monty was goodenough to play twice against red wings but not against good teams eh?

The TOI might just tell us that's the case....

Guhle/Carrier is basically shutdown pairing against the harder opposition. Hutson gets the most ozone starts from all the Ds and Matheson is in-between hard match-up and easy minutes.

But MSL should probably play different pairing in away games, it's much easier to exploit Hutson/Matheson when you have home advantage and it's usually on away game that they struggle, not at home.

 

[BergevinBurner]

We're in for a brutal stretch of hockey over the next month. I'd honestly be shocked if we manage a point percentage over 0.300 between now and February.

Dobes starting today. I'm gonna go ahead and predict Habs win with Dobes stealing it. 3-2 for the boys.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Hater.

What the f*** is driving the top flying car? Looks like balls of ice cream.

If we have any hope at all we have to remain disciplined Florida typically take a lot of penalties.
A hot power play is our best protection against getting run out of the building.
I can't count how many games I've watched in these past three seasons where teams would abuse us with no fear of our PP.

F*** Florida Go Habs Go

Laine and Hutson have changed this PP so much. It's a beautiful thing to see!

It always seems to me that they get very few penalties.

 

[Goalfield13]

I would be tickled pink if we can get a point today.

 

[Rapala]

It always seems to me that they get very few penalties.

They do take fewer against us because we don't push the pace against them and they never get called for the interference they like to run.
They actually sit ahead of us and we take a shit load.

 

[Tyson]

Good luck to the team and the young goalie. The rebuild has taken a different direction goalie wise, hopefully it works out.

 

[Goalfield13]

Tampa likely plays Vasi today against the NYR. Get us a point today, Dobes!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's essentially a Hockey Day in Canada.

1 PM: Montreal @ Florida

4 PM: Seattle @ Vancouver & Edmonton @ LAK

7 PM:. Washington @ Toronto & Ottawa @ Winnipeg

10 PM: Calgary @ SJS

We’re going to get slaughtered, aren’t we?
