Pre-Game Talk: Vegas @ Mtl, Nov 23, 7pm EST

[The Real Timo]

Need a pre-game talk thread to discuss lines, who's in, who's out, and generally something that's will be going on with this team in the next 2 days.

I will continue saying this - put Caufield back on the first line, MSL... FFS! Dach doesn't belong on top 2 lines until he gets his shit together.

Lessgo!!! Da playoffs are within the grasp!

3rd game in 4 nights for Vegas. Come out strong and play a fast, physical game. Their legs and gas tank won’t be 100%, don’t be lazy this is a winnable game at home.

Nous filons sur la neige blanche
En ce beau jour de dimanche
À travers les sapins verts
C’est l’hiver, c’est l’hiver, c’est l’hiver!

 

[Runner77]

F that -- what's Geoff doing these days?

 

[vokiel]

They may get a loser point out of this one. They're on a roll and Vegas is on a long trip.

 

[BLONG7]

Vegas should be tired...................Habs keep the streak alive !!

The forwards aren't physical really and the main one that is hasn't played in like 10 games.

 

[vokiel]

Yeah although habs are like #13 in hits in the league, it's more jerseys touching than playing really physical. We ain't a physical team, and now that I remember last few games I've watched, not a very fast one either.

So long between games , the boys will have forgotten Da System

Hopefully all the extra practice time was put to good use to help it take better root.

They're surely in a healthier headspace.

 

[The Real Timo]

To be honest, I don't have a good feeling.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

5 days is too looooooonnnggggg

Yep. Learn it all over again. Good times.

The result of playing 12 games in 24 days. It's like they put all the "off days" in the same week.

I know we aren't the only team, but the schedule makers seem to hate the habs.

 

[sampollock]

big game for sure.
big team to play against

Predicting CC scores more than once

 

[Adam Michaels]

If Habs are able to beat Vegas, it will be big. I expect a loss. But I expected one against Edmonton the other day. So you never know. But a win keeps them firmly in the mix despite being last in the East. That's how tight the standings are.

Boston holds the 2WC spot, they are playing .500 hockey. The Sabres are the top team among the non-playoff teams in the East and they're exactly at .500 hockey. The next 7 (Isles, Jackets, Wings, Flyers, Pens, Sens & Habs) are all playing below .500 hockey.

MSL has FINALLY put Guhle on his natural D-side.

Ain't that somethin' ... Not like any of us here been screaming for this for the past 2 years. But hey... coach knows best.

Anyone has lines from today's practice? Where did Laine slot in?

...a few games ago!

They also simplified the hybrid D system (made it more black and white).

I haven't seen any info about that. I don't think he was in any specific lines.

edit: looks like they did a lots of 1v1/1v2 drills.

 

[teamfirst]

Newhook with is first Apple of the season would be nice

Oooh... lineless hockey. I like that. Is that a new concept?

 

[Runner77]

Hey @sampollock, I bought a new TV and you were right about Sony. It checked off every box.
