tomh009 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The Canadiens (31-29-9) visit Florida (33-26-8), with plenty of Habs fans guaranteed to be in the stands. The Habs' season looks to end early, but the Panthers aren't doing much better. Canadiens' projected lineup Artturi Lehkonen :: Phillip Danault :: Brendan Gallagher Charles Hudon :: Nick Suzuki :: Joel Armia Paul Byron :: Max Domi :: Jordan Weal Lukas Vejdemo :: Jake Evans :: Dale Weise Ben Chiarot :: Shea Weber Brett Kulak :: Jeff Petry Xavier Ouellet :: Christian Folin Charlie Lindgren Carey Price Scratched: Karl Alzner Injured: Jonathan Drouin (ankle) Tomas Tatar (upper body) Panthers' projected lineup Jonathan Huberdeau :: Aleksander Barkov :: Evgenii Dadonov Mike Hoffman :: Erik Haula :: Frank Vatrano Dominic Toninato :: Lucas Wallmark :: Brett Connolly Colton Sceviour :: Noel Acciari :: Mark Pysyk MacKenzie Weegar :: Aaron Ekblad Riley Stillman :: Anton Stralman Keith Yandle :: Mike Matheson Chris Driedger Sam Montembeault Scratched: Josh Brown, Aleksi Saarela Injured: Sergei Bobrovsky (lower body), Brian Boyle (upper body), Dryden Hunt (lower body) Current playoff probabilities (from The Athletic): Habs: 3% (projected to finish 23rd) Panthers: 21% (projected to finish 20th) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Nice to see Evans get some NHL time, which he obviously wouldnt if Habs were in playoffs and Thompson would still be a Hab. Has Weise been getting worse lately, or just my imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 You seeing that duster on Lindgren? World class lip sweater right there. Unfortunately that's about all the analysis I have for that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, he's looking more and more like the marginal AHL player we all knew he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Julien: "Kirk, have you got the powerplay strategies ready?" Muller: "You know it, boss!" Julien: "Awesome, what have you got for me?" Muller: "We set up Weber for a blast from the point!" Julien: "Classic. Very old school. What else have you got?" Muller: "... else? ... uh well, we, uh we set up... Weber... for a blast from the... other point?" Julien: "...................... and your third strategy?" Muller: "We set up Domi!" Julien: Yes" Muller: "Who sets up Weber!" Julien: "plz no" Muller: "Who blasts it from just above the goal line!" Julien: "You're fired." Muller: "Weal will be on both PP units." Julien: "You're back in. Do you have room for Evans too?" ~fin~ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 That 5-on-3 was basically a 2-on-3. If Florida is covering both points, get the puck down low and voila, you have a 3-on-1. I know the forward options aren't ideal but still, diversify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Not a whole lot mattered to #TeamTank tonight, beside the Habs loss. The bad was the Sad Sack Sabres losing again, and Minnesota getting spanked by LA. But NJ won to pass Buffalo up the standings, and they have a chance at passing the Habs in points with their games in hand. Nashville also won their game to put a bit of distance between themselves and Montreal (who face each other in their next game Tuesday.) On Sunday we cheer for Chicago to beat St Louis, and Anaheim to beat Minnesota in overtime, (while slightly caring about Carolina beating Pittsburgh, Vancouver beating Columbus, and San Jose beating Colorado.) On Monday we cheer for Buffalo to get their shit together against Washington, Arizona to beat Winnipeg in overtime, and Florida to beat St Louis. Tank on, brothers.

Tank on, brothers. 1 and 1/2 out of 5 on Sunday. 2 out of 3 on Monday (bonus win by LA for those whose faith in The Tank is truly the strongest among us.) Arizona and Chicago continue to find new ways to disappoint like me to my father when I quit school to join a commune and start a Dead Can Dance tribute drum circle but he just didn't understand that sometimes art can burst through you like a beam of white light and you're not even really controlling it but just a conduit to it's beauty anditcanbemorepowerfulthanafather'sloveeventhoughitwouldbenicetohavehimcallandjusttellmeheunderstandsIdon'tevenneedhimtobeproudbutjustunderstandmepapa. Get it together Yotes and Hawks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
