kuternoga Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Why the hell I was born 6573 kilometres away from Canada? I'm sad. Actually, I'm depressed. Only Habs can change it.

dlbalr Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Still no lineup news as to whether there will be any changes beyond the goalies from last night. With the mothers all being on the trip, part of me wonders if they'll put Beaulieu/Bowman back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Sigh... No wonder they have terrible possession numbers... Rangers spent 90% of the game so far in the Habs end... And a goal. Will the Habs start playing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't know if it's just me (judging by how few posts there are on here, I suspect not) but there seems to be a general indifference about this game. It's the end of a long stretch of games in a short time frame and it's after a win against Boston. It just doesn't really feel like a game night for some reason. As for the Habs, same old, same old in that first period. I'm surprised they've been credited with 11 shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs30/31 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Pleks soft as a marshmallow on ranger goal. Lost draw to moore then let the ranger center walk by him to the front of tokarski, to put the loose puck in the net. ouch! Sekac looking great.

Cosmic harmonies? Interesting to see the energy level in a two game weekend. And funnily enough I don't think too many of us are that worried about what the team is doing, as we seem pretty confident in what we are bringing this year.

dlbalr Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Brandon Prust led the Habs in TOI with 7:55 in the 1st. There's overplaying him and then there's playing him eight minutes in a period. Half of that is around where he should be. Before anyone suggests that this is a one-off, keep in mind he played an astounding 18 minutes yesterday. He's being way overused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, i'm trying to avoid posting in the first period - posts would be way to negative. Don't know what it is about the team's 1st period starts and horrible PP in general.

Toronthab Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 note Smith in his interview is wearing Oiler colours with Scotiabank double blinking on the scarf he obviously didn't wear to the game. Ugly. Wait for the commercial time Scotiabank. Don't piff us off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's overplaying him and then there's playing him eight minutes in a period. Half of that is around where he should be. I also think there were way too many shifts where Weaver was out with the MaxPac line. MT needs to ensure that top line is out with one of Subban, Markov or Gonchar.

Lovett's Magnatones Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The Habs started out really slow and couldn't get anything going. They started the game with two straight icings and a pp. Then the goal. What a bad giveaway from Galchenyuk. The Habs got a few good cycles going towards the end of the period, which is good, since their play the first ten minutes of the game is no way to beat Lundqvist. Bryan Allen, practices or not, is very uninspiring the first two games. He's very weak transitioning the puck and this is bad news considering the Habs poor possession game. I don't see how having a below average veteran who makes mistakes is any worse than a kid making mistakes while learning from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuternoga Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Habs are a universal team Kuter. How do you watch the games in Poland? (don't say... with my eyes, ok.... ) You can buy GCL for 90-100$ (Playoffs aren't included). We have no blackouts cause hockey in this country is almost dead (our league sucks, our national team has no sponsor). Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
