Seriously guys, I can't do all of these.  I do need some help and as I noted in the last GDT, if the new one isn't up by noon on game day, it's fair game.  You can put a reasonable one together with just lines in only a couple of minutes, it doesn't have to be formatted like this. 

 

A couple of lineup notes - Marc Staal (flu) is a game-time decision as is Arron Asham.  Christian Thomas was recalled today and could make his NHL debut for the Rangers.  As for the Habs, Prust's status is still up in the air, early reports suggest Cole will yield his spot if Prust is indeed ready to go.

I see Brian gets stuck with the GDT one more time.

 

 

I simply have nothing else to say, except Torts is an idiot and will get beat by a BAD ASS team tonite.

I was gonna volunteer but it's my birthday so I ain't volunteering for anything

Brian I have no idea how to make one of these but if there are some hints or instructions somewhere I would do what I can to help.

The board accepts HTML code so if you have any experience with that, you can 'pretty it up.'  Otherwise, a straight text one (as I do for the Hamilton GDT's, there are links to some at the bottom of the page in the 'also tagged' section) works just as well.  I just want to see GDT's opened early enough so that there is ample time for pre-game talk, lineup news and notes, stuff from the game day skate, etc.

Rene Bourque has the flu, Brandon Prust fills in for him on Plekanec's wing.

Halpern takes the net off completely on purpose... penalty, no?

[hab29RETIRED]

anyone know why every Saterday tsn montreal radio isn't available (at least in Calgary).  I usually listen to the radio online while watching on RDS, but for some reason on saterday's its never available and there is a message "content available in your area".  

I was in Chicago this past week and didn't think the broadcast would be available in the USA, but had no issues. Yet, in Calgary, I find its been unavailable on saterday's (weeknight broadcasts are fine).

Habs have more scoring chances than shots.

The most frustrating thing about this team for a LONG time is how much they squander good chances.

[Trizzak]

Weak call on Staal to be honest.

[Machine of Loving Grace]

Halpern takes the net off completely on purpose... penalty, no?

 

He didn't interfere with the play (shot was taken and puck pushed aside) so it was considered accidental.

 

Eller and Gallagher are both lucky when it comes to not getting called.

Is it any more than other teams though? Or are we hyper-focused on it because we're fans?

[Trizzak]

Cole with the goal!

[Easy Ryder]

Yess nice nail by Paccioretty, Mcdo deserved this. 

[Turd Burglar]

This is what the officiating is doing to the league this year.  You never want to see a player hurt, but McDonagh runs Wolvie from behind, then boards Prust, no call on either.  What do the officials expect is going to happen when they let crap like this go?  As bad as it is to say, McDonagh got what he deserved.  If he's hurt, the only ones to blame are the officials.  Can't let crap like that escalate or someone can, and will get hurt.

[Trizzak]

Pleks WTF!

[Trizzak]

Galchenyuk WTF! (but in a good way)

[habscout]

Yes! Good goal!!  2-0

[Easy Ryder]

oh yes nice touch there...GOOOOAL...

[hab29RETIRED]

I only watch habs on a regular basis.  BUt is just seems we seem to blow good chances more then the team we are playing against.

Pleks WTF!

That's what i'm talking about when referrring to blowing chances.  Remember that breakaway he had earlier in the season?

 

And there is Gionta with a great chance on a 2 on 1 and a terrible shot.

Let's make this PP count and then hope for no 3rd period collapse!

[hab29RETIRED]

beautiful passing - Need Chucky on the PP more and great shot by Eller!! 

[dlbalr]

That was a much better period after the Habs equalled their worst shooting period in the 1st. 

 

The Rangers are really trying to win the physical battles out there, they're tripling the Habs in hits.  That's a first this season. 

[revvvrob]

seems Cole's goal is listed as unassisted - replays look like assists should be granted. anyone know anything about this?
