GDT: The Game that determines the Tank: Habs vs Lightning 1pm

[Trabdy2]

So it really looks like we're going to be tanking naturally, without trying.

Too many positions need clear upgrades. And some players just need to grow their game more.

 

[Weltschmerz]

call me crazy but they can win this game

 

[ryan callahan]

Xhekaj is sooooo bad lol. Hurting his own goalie too?

 

[Gravity]

This team will NEVER be in "da mix" so long as Matheson is the 1D.

 

[vokiel]

We are cooked if Tampa starts playing

Chef Cookerov is out, we good.

Watching on Sportsnet plus and my feed went black for Gally's goal.

Yeah they run a tight ship over there, another perfect timing

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Montreal outplayed Tampa Bay, but shot themselves in the foot with 2 massive defensive mistakes.

Caufield should have a goal, too.

2-1 TB after 1.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Did like Slafs response to the demotion, played with more way more energy. He needs to be that guy with NS and Cole

 

[Team_Spirit]

Old ass Gally is outscoring everyone except Nick & Cole. Unbelievable

 

[HabbyGuy]

Y'all got no shame. Some of these posts are embarassing. Habs had a great period. Slaf being a moron doesn't change that.

 

[HabSgt]

You are crazy.

I agree though.

 

[Riddick412]

Finally the scoring powerhouse that is Gallagher breaks the streak. Time to start a new one.

Embarassing

Guessing Beck got benched. I get that he f***ed up at least once in the first, but this is Therrien bad.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

He has to when he plays most of his 5v5 minutes with an useless giraffe with little hockey skills.

 

[Whitesnake]

One of our best 1st periods of the season and we're down 2-0 because they scored on both of their shots

The problem with most of our BEST periods is that we have tons of effort. We skate hard. We create things. We are more often than not in the offensive zone.

BUT.....it rarely means scoring goals. At least not as our dominating play suggest. So in the end...it means so much.

this team needs to find talent. A talent that is mixed with power and desire to make a difference. Not waiting for the success to come to you.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Time to call up the undefeated Primeau?

 

[Whitesnake]

That’s fine.

I still wish it was a power forward.

Where is Hutson?

Hutson LD 3 and PP specialist.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

PP2 plays some of the worst hockey I’ve seen in my entire life

They scored.....

Xhekaj is sooooo bad lol. Hurting his own goalie too?

??? We have worse dmen out there?

 

[Redux91]

Agreed on this

Tho I'm a little surprised the demotion is lasting *that* long

Slafkovský, instead of flying to the 4th line and playing small, is getting plenty of opportunities on a line with Dvorak and Gallagher.

Lol but you just..! Ahhh nvm lol

Suzuki
EV faceoff percentage 51.6
PP faceoff percentage 48.1

I understand that the best faceoff guys usually play on the pk but still it's very bad.

 

[Rapala]

This coaching staff is driving me around the bend. If you are going to demote Slafkofsky and deservedly so.
Why the f*** are you putting him back out on a pathetically STAGNANT PP1. Message NOT received.

It's clear to me Suzuki and Caufield are both Happier playing without Slaf at this point.
I was watching Slaf having a long winded dialog with Suzuki on the bench yesterday and Suzuki looked like he was tuning him out completely.
