PMAC Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Go Habs Go! Very interested to see how our D and especially Meat do against Washington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Just Win Baby! All this talk about Washington regressing this year.. I just don't see it. Way too talented of a team. Looking forward to seeing how the Habs stack up against another playoff team in the East. Hudon and Lehks have big games... just a hunch.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 It does seem as though the Caps have missed their window. I recall reports three years ago that management saw the team as having a two year window. Well, here they are. They're a lot like the Habs now - a team whose only real shot at a championship would lie in their elite goalie getting into The Zone for four rounds, with the rest of the team being just good enough to win on that basis. Very, very hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Well... I don't ordinarily accept capital punishment... but in this case...... I think I can be persuaded.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Who is more dangerous, Ovechkin or Backstrom? Habs have won very few games in Washington, not much better in Montreal neither.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 My prediction for the game which I've done well with so far in this early season is that at least one of Streit or Mete will register a point today. Once I get one wrong, I'll take a break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 So Barber Bill's answer for defensive breakdowns is to put out Mete and Streit. This is one of the most atrocious starts I can remember seeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are seeing what happens when a good team comes up against our dumpster fire D corps. It's very early. But this is what I've been worried about all along...a blueline almost built to struggle with the ever-increasing speed of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Nice desperation play by Alzner there. Good thing I have Ovie in my pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I’d say first mistake of the season this year was Julian’s decision to start Benn on the top pair with Weber... no reason to make that change before the game even starts!
