Who's getting today's GDT? Plenty of line changes for the Habs (and PP changes as well).
I'll do it

I agree with you, but Deslauriers was the best forward on the ice last night

After being denied yesterday on that 2 on 1, I guess it's safe to say that Mete will one day retire without ever scoring a goal.

Everyone knows the second half of the season is when shit gets real. We might see this team start to deteriorate a bit.
Julien's stubbornness with line juggling is frustrating too. When a team's offense goes stagnant for multiple games, would you not think that moving some players around would make sense? He chose to slightly do this with 10min left in the game, down 3 goals....
The power play is complete disaster. They're trying so hard to find that perfect pass, but it's not happening; it's just a million turnovers. That's why team's play so aggressive against them. There is no threat. They're missing a pure shooter at the top of the circle; someone that can free up Weber
-
Petry's gap control is non existent.
Shake these lines up. Good lord
-
They needed that. Let's go now
-
If drouin thows one more random back hand pass..... man oh man. That ended up leading to st Louis goal
-
Power play is an absolute joke
-
I was wondering about puljujarvi too.
-
Detroit wanted Petry. I was actually surprised he signed with MTL.
I get the sell high part, but Detroit won't be the destination. It would be to a contender, IF Petry got dealt
-
Julien needs to call Therrien and ask how to use the blender

I am happy that they responded with a win after the last two losses, it was important to get. That being said, Detroit is terrible on paper and are quite beatable. I loved seeing Weber fly to Michigan with a swollen face and dealing with it. He tried a full cage but didnt feel comfortable, so he took off his last line of protection. These are the things that his teammates, bosses and peers all admire
They said the swelling looked like a baseball on his face

Knew Armia was going to bury after chirping him

I don't like him there, I didn't like Byron with those two either.
The best chemistry seemed to be with Shaw, but you can't use him right now. So I guess they figure Armia is a grinder like Shaw.
Ever since Byron came back injury, he hasn't looked the same
-
Not feelin' Armia on that top line

Another imperfect player, but one who can put up 60-70 points or even more if things go well.
Yes, his defensive game isn't perfect and he's risky, but the guy can score, there is no way around that. This team is finally one that can score goals, but yet we continue to be obsessed with him not being a "two-way player". You need to score goals to win games and he's one guy who really helps drive the offense.
I'll admit I'm pretty hard on Drouin. I honestly do really like him

Would this not be a good time to give Hudon and Peca a look?

That's what I've have said two years ago. But since then he seems to have learned how to play at a high level much more consistently. Nor have I noticed him being especially gaffe-prone or flimsy in his own end over that span. In the context of the past two season's, last night's blunder was a freak event. This isn't Drouin we're talking about.
Don't get me started on Drouin. I think he has tons of talent, but the hockey IQ is seriously questionable...how many times did he drop the puck to nobody.

You basically have to take the good with the bad in Petry.

As soon as they play a stingy team, they can't score. They got bottle necked against Nashville too.

Wtf was that

Habs have defied expectations this year, no question, but they have also put together a lot of games like last night.
As much as I want to see this team play hockey in spring, I also understand that it means the vicious cycle is beginning to spin once again.
If you want mediocrity and MAYBE squeaking into the playoffs, I can respect that; it's hard to cheer for your team to fail, but if you want a true contender and a team with maybe only one or two questions marks beside their name, then you need sell/ draft early( I get they can't sell in a playoff spot).
The gap between the vets and the prospects in this organization is too big. Weber is coming up on 1000 games played... I mean the time frame just doesn't make sense.... Even by the time Kotkaniemi becomes a real impact player, we're looking at a good 2-3 years.

Agostino is a bit of head scratcher
"Agostino one point in his last 12 games. Byron and Armia 19 career power play points in almost 600 NHL games (a point every 30 games)"
Armia has never scored a goal on the
power play in his career
