DON Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 31-39 Habs vs 34-34 Preds (NHL.com lines) BROSSARD- Here's a look at the forward lines and defense pairings featured at Tuesday's morning skate at the Bell Sports Complex. Byron - Danault - Armia Hudon - Domi - Gallagher Lehkonen - Suzuki - Weal Vejdemo/Drouin - Evans - Weise Chiarot - Weber Kulak - Petry Ouellet - Folin Alzner Price Lindgren Julien on lines: "We're making changes to try to find something. It doesn't mean that they're good changes or that it's the answer," explained Julien, whose squad skated at their home rink downtown because of the annual team photo. "[Joel] Armia has been having some trouble lately. [Nick] Suzuki has hit a wall, which is normal given that he's played a lot of hockey the past year. We have to try making some changes." * Forsberg & Duchene have all of 87points between them this year and Forsberg only had 50pts last year (injury shortened), kinda thought he would be a big point producer, the way he started his career.

dlbalr Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It's certainly looking like the Habs dodged a bullet on Duchene given his lack of production. On the other hand, he's not the first player to go to Nashville and see their production fall off a cliff either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 As expected, that was a quiet first period from Montreal. (Nashville wasn't much better.) Hudon had the best looking chance after he split the D which is something I don't recall seeing him even try let alone do before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past that now....I'm fully on board with the tank. I felt some legit happy when the Preds scored just now. I keep looking at the better players in the draft and hoping we will land one.

sbhatt Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Tank is looking good so far. Have to assume that a 3-0 lead for Nashville is far more solid than it is for the Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Between how awful the Habs are and coronavirus concerns, think we'll see a lot of empty seats at a home game in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I don't think I ever actively root for the Habs to lose, even when the season is lost. I'm just not that sad when it happens now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely won't toss and turn if they lose to the Sabres on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Commandant and others who have defended Domi: can you tell me why we should resign him instead of trading him? I just head the analysis on RDS comparing Gallagher a Domi and after that there is no way Domi comes back next season Guy is floating and cheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned it off, so I'm not even seeing it. They aren't making the playoffs... How low they finish barely matters (1% higher chance at Lafreniere per spot fallen). That said, i wouldn't judge much from the veterans down the stretch, its pre-season mode now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I can see the quote from Brendan Gallagher now " the turning point was coming back from a 4-0 deficit against Nashville, this team wouldn't quit" after the Habs win 13 in a row to sneak into the last playoff spot ahead of Toronto.

Trizzak Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Nice to see Vejdemo get his first. He works hard, might get a spot next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 That was at least an interesting finish which I wasn't expecting after that 2nd period. 4 minutes ago, Trizzak said: Nice to see Vejdemo get his first. He works hard, might get a spot next year. Personally, I think he's playing for a qualifying offer more than a roster spot with the Habs. He hasn't had a great season in Laval and he's already 24. He needs to show something that makes management think there still might be a little upside there. That goal will help but his defensive coverage on the Jarnkrok goal certainly won't.

Trizzak Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Habs pull the goalie for the extra man, so of course they revert to their good ol' method of setting up Weber from the point. Julien: "Kirk, stop this. It isn't working." Muller: "But think about how great it would be if it did!" Julien: "But it's not! Everyone knows it's coming, they can defend it easily!" Muller: "Good. We have them right where we want them." Julien: "So we'll change strategy and take them by surprise?" Muller: "No. We'll keep doing the same strategy and take them by even more surprise! We're playing chess while they're playing poker!" Julien: "What?!?" Muller: "Bingo, that's a yahtzee!" ~fin~ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t it the the 50th anniversary of picking lafleur 1st overall - or actually I think that might be next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
