GDT: Toronto @ Montreal - Wednesday 7pm - SN

[keonsbitterness]

The Canadiens give him that seat for at least 20 games, he usually shits his pants at the start of the 2nd, by the start of the third the visiting team is totally distracted, start extending their shifts etc. It's a hell of a strategy!

I choose to believe that.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

What?
Weren’t they 2nd league wide in goals last year?

continuation of the playoffs lol

Just a little joke….

 

[mapleleaf979]

Ekman Larsson needs to run PP1 soon. Reilly is not deceptive at all, pinches, cant get shots thru.

 

[sxvnert]

Time to shuffle the lines.

Domi Matthews Nylander
Robertson Tavares Marner
Knies Holmberg PAC
Lorentz Kampf reaves

 

[WTFMAN99]

I'd swap 88 and Marner but that's me.

The game should be 3-0. Stolarz has made some huge saves. Nylander had 1 shift this game where he hit the post but was buzzing around competing. Havent seen 2 shifts from him tonight where he competed. Pretty frustrating.

What? We've hit 3 posts that their goalie had zero chance on, plus he made a couple saves where he didn't even see the puck (positional). Stolarz has been good, but none of those chances against were ten-bellers.

First period was crap. Second was good, despite all the penalties.

Figure they find a way to score one here in the third.

 

[mapleleaf979]

Nylander has been great but he’s all alone out there.
Just like last year.

He had 1 good shift to start the 2nd period, he hit the post , dominated the shift, the main ingredient was he was skating hard. I have not seen him skate hard since or in the first period at all.

 

[mcleex]

Can't even score a goal against this trash rebuilding team

 

[ACC1224]

Do we still have our record going for most games not being shutout? Be pretty funny for it get snapped in the 1st game with a new coach.

It doesn’t feel like they’ll be shutout tonight. They’re getting too many chances

Need a puck off the skate or leg to break the ice

[Blanka]

technically correct.

still very annoying.

I hear you. Someone needs to finish one of those chances.

 

[Matty Sundin]

OEL will be a rollercoaster.
Will create alot offensively but will definitely turn the puck over and have some defensive gaffs.
All in all we've played well but our PP has been a big letdown in this game.

He’s had a decent game I think for the stuff he’s been asked for. His noticeable flaws have been in spots that shouldn’t be asked from him. Being on the PK or having an unexpected breakaway out of the box. He should on the top PP unit. If we can use him right he can be solid.

 

[Confucius]

Montreal is horrendous. They haven’t dominated one shift all game minus a pp

O for 30 on the PP in preseason. Ofcourse they get their 1st against us.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Send in La Lorentz!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

technically correct.

The best kind of correct.

 

[Dave92]

Seems odd to add this game to a "when it matters" then lol

This is a bigger game than he will have for months. Also his first game as captain.

The french language Intermission panel.
I can't understand anything.

And yet it's alot better than the Sportsnet panel.

He made a blocker save that should have been a goal, a few others could have gotten past him and wouldnt be considered weak, based on the bang bang plays happening during the sequence.

 

[ACC1224]

They’ll get one.

 

[All Mod Cons]

What if we break out non-shut out streak and taking a too many men penalty streak in the same game?

Both must be around 250 games by now.

 

[weems]

Scoring chances 22-11 and high danger chances 9-2 5v5 in our favour.

Keep pushing and we should tie it up.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Pens fans are seeing what Kyle Dubas can do to a franchise.

Yup... but whatever. See what happens.

Ekman Larsson needs to run PP1 soon. Reilly is not deceptive at all, pinches, cant get shots thru.

I Iike Mo but tonight he's been meh.

On the powerplay I'd try it but they'll give it a lot more time then just tonight.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This is a bigger game than he will have for months. Also his first game as captain.

It really is no bigger then any of the other 81 regular season games we will play. He will probably end up winning the Rocket again whether he scores 0 or 1 goals tonight. Trying to add regular season into his playoff issues is just dumb.
