Trizzak Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 52 minutes ago, xXx..CK..xXx said: I'll keep sitting on my own island while pumping Streit's tires but based on last year's stats Streit averaged more points per game than Petry, and all our other current defenseman outside of Weber. I expect him to at least be useful on the power play if given a chance. It does look like Claude agrees with most though and isn't utilizing him very much. I don't like the other three defensemen but I guess there's just as much of an argument for Gelinas on the power play as well. Streit also barely played for a Pittsburgh team decimated by injury, and it certainly looked like his play deteriorated as the season went on. It is likely he will either deteriorate even quicker this season, if not start at that diminished return. I'd be more excited for Streit as a #6-7 defensemen if the Habs didn't already have three guys playing down to the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 2 goals or less again. Can they hit the magic 3 goal mark this pre season. I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Preseason games don't matter, but you'd think that when playing against other teams also barely giving a shit that you could win one even by accident, y'know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It will be a very long year. It isn't just preseason. They don't have much talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Holland had a good chance to score on a breakaway but couldn't put it home. Despite that, I think he has helped his chances for a roster spot tonight; he has been a lot more noticeable than Mitchell out there.

dlbalr Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The #1 PP unit isn't scoring tonight but this is by far the best any Montreal PP unit has looked in the preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott462 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Watching the sportscast after the game basically laughing at Montreal unable to score more than two goals. Unable to win against an AHL lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Well, Drouin and Galchenyuk will be fun to watch. 25 goals allowed in 6 games... the defense is an actual dumpster fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 On the plus side it should light a fire under Bergevins ass to trade for help. On the negative side....see previous statement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link67 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Drouin was awesome tonight, really liked Mete's game again. I am not going to fall into the trap of getting all worked up about pre-season, we have not iced anything close to our game 1 line up yet. And if Colorado taught me anything last season, its that pre-season records literally don't mean a damn thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I will say is that they haven't wanted to go winless so far, that's for sure. It's not really about the wins and losses anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Weber-Mete Petry-Alzner Benn-Jerabek Strait-Schlemko I assume it must be down to these 8 and Morrow, Davidson and Gelinas should be gone. Mitchell must be darn close to being cut also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Other than to see the team on the ice, I haven't watched more than, say 2 minutes of any of the games combined. I'll be concerned if this is how they start the season, but otherwise, nothin' to see here. Hopefully the coaching staff has been able to get in some good player evals.

Toronthab Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think its an excellent strategy to get most of the goals scored against us in the preseason and save all our goal scoring for the real deal! Brilliant! I'm holding my head high. ( A my neck is stiff..)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan1989 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Man I have a bad feeling we are going to give up a lot of breakaways this year with our slow dcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Lets remember that last night the Weber-Mete pairing looked fine. We might have had a group where only Weber is in the starting lineup opening night. For all this talk that this was the Leafs "B" team last night, our defence was Our #1 guy A 19 year old, who might make the team and might not. 4 guys competing for the #6 spot at best. Schlemko, Petry, Benn, Alzner all didn't play last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zumpano21 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Job description for veterans playing in the preseason: 1 - Don't get hurt 2 - Don't get hurt 3 - Don't get hurt You may have noticed that there's no mention of trying to win.
