GDT: Vancouver Canucks vs. Montreal Canadiens 11/2/16 7:30pm EST SN (HD), RDS (HD)

[Cole Caulifield]

I don't think he is. Pacioretty is comical in his floating, but he's still one of the leagues premier goal scorer.

Laine's shot arsenal is out of this world. He's already better than Pacioretty at scoring goals, and that's pretty much Pacioretty's only redeeming feature.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

when/if we lose in the playoffs, it'll be because we get burnt on speed.

think about the penguins that year. do you think our D-corps could've handled them? . . . i'm not sure

 

[TheAntiPrice]

We look terrible.

 

[Mrb1p]

Markov looking good tonight.

 

[Belial]

Petry not looking good. Way too many turnovers so far tonight.

He's sleeping tonight ...

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Cant make a pass and a tonne of turnovers.

I guess they are too rested tonight

 

[Cole Caulifield]

We're playing so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Our worst period of the season for sure.

 

[covfefe]

Flat start, luckily we are playing one of the worst in the league

 

[MXD]

...Shaw is **** so far. The whole team is, but Shaw stick out like Grade-A diarrhea.

 

[JuicyHam]

Petry not looking good. Way too many turnovers so far tonight.

everyone has bad games.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Because if you read this board...every single PP, DD is on the 1st unit.

If you actually read this board, you'll see people refer to stats and say that Galchenyuk and Desharnais have been used on the powerplay far more often than Plekanec. At 22 vs 16 vs 9 PP minutes (respectively), or 17 vs 10 vs 6 for offensive zone starts (respectively) on the PP, coming into tonight, they're right.

Details, amirite.

 

[Uncle Gary]

is this even hockey

 

[417]

Why would we mention something that we don't want to happen?

Oh look, this guy pee'd on the floor!
Oh Look, This guy didn't pee on the floor !

no you see...had Desharnais been on the 1st or even 2nd unit, this GDT would be doubled in pages

 

[Alex514]

playing too soff michel will be angry

 

[Mrb1p]

I'm not too sure about that.

Pacioretty is a back to back 39 and 37 goal scorer.. He's been scoring at a 30+ goals per year for SEVEN seasons.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

love Radulov's strength though, u can tell he wants to win

 

[Tyson]

Damn the boys sucking so far

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Therrien needs to kick some garbage cans

 

[Bob Cole]

Plekanec and Pacioretty leading by example

 

[waffledave]

Lack of speed is hurting them tonight. Trouble getting the puck in the d zone and they can't get it out unless it's for an icing pass.

When I read this board, especially the Desharnais thread...i'm constantly told that Desharnais gets 1st line mins and 1st unit PP

Go ahead, go take a look at that thread

let's not be silly. I think one of the huge improvements we've made is the D has been good at knowing when to back off and the bigger improvement even is knowing when to jump into the play. I thought we were quite awful at that last season. This is just an awful period though. Can't say anything else.

 

[Mrb1p]

...Shaw is **** so far. The whole team is, but Shaw stick out like Grade-A diarrhea.

He's so bad. A glorified grinder.

no you see...had Desharnais been on the 1st or even 2nd unit, this GDT would be doubled in pages

Rightly so, we have two centers that are better suited for the Pp than hi and four wingers.

 

[417]

The boys are flat...games like this you're thankful you got Carey Price in nets

If this was last year, score would be 2-0 Canucks

 

[NobleSix]

Bad start for the boys
