GDT Game 50 - Canadiens @ Capitals - February 6 - 7 p.m.
johnnyhasbeen replied to GHT120's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I see as many bad penalties from Harris. Not unusual in young defence men. Is Harris more skill? I don't see that at this point. He is better in his own end though. Wish he could move the puck. I still say Harris should be the odd man out of we move a young d. Just my thought based on every game I say ",who was that? Oh Harris , of course" He needs AHL time to get more experience and confidence moving the puck out of his end. He will one day be good with experience but I don't see great. Third pair d-men, not something we are short on. -

Hope this means Newhook will stay on the wing where he belongs. He is much more effective there. -

Great return. -

And that would require one day instead of a week -

So now we start the wasted week. I have no interest at all in the all-star game and feel it should be eliminated. Those 7 days could break up 7 back to back games for every team. -
GDT Game #48: Islanders at Canadiens, 25 January, 7 P
johnnyhasbeen replied to tomh009's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
"These are the times that try a man's soul" Team has been in games this year because they believe they have a chance. Been wondering all year how they react after a string of bad losses. Last game they were playing too safe, holding their sticks tight. Causes passes to skates, not sticks and turnovers. I hope they get their trust and belief back tonight. Go HABS Go -
I agree. The Americans were taunting the fans badly however, I had to wonder at the end of the Swedes were trying the Russian tactic of starting a brawl after losing to try and get both teams disqualified rather than taking the silver. Poor end to a great series

GDT GAME#34 Habs vs Carolina 7pm Thursday Dec 28th

Well, let's wait and see. You and Don think top 4 I say plug. Let's revisit this in 2 years. -
GDT GAME#34 Habs vs Carolina 7pm Thursday Dec 28th
johnnyhasbeen replied to DON's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Harris may develop, it is true, but how high do you put his ceiling? Steady third pairing? I see Reinbacher as being in development still in 2 years, replacing an aging Matheson on 3 years. He needs time still and then time to adjust in the AHL to our smaller ice. -

Baron needs to go down. He makes way too many mistakes. WiFi needs to come up. We need a deterrent to stop people targeting our young players. Do you think Slaf gets creamed if WiFi is there? I don't . Baron and Harris are not in the big picture. Struble, Hudson, Mailloux, Ghule, WiFi, Matheson. That is our 6 that will be around in my opinion, and a damn fine core it will be. WiFi does not need to develop into top pairing. Bottom pairing is all that the future team will have open for him. Bring him up and stop the other teams from targeting the young guys and small guys. -
GDT Game 32 Habs at Wild 8pm Thursday Dec 21
johnnyhasbeen replied to Prime Minister Koivu's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Wild took advantage of no Wifi or Pez. When neither the sheriff or deputy are in town the thugs run rampant. -
Right, but everyone has their point where they do fight back. For some it is a short straw, others it is life or death but we all have our point. I don't think Wifi has a very long straw. Just my view.

How long in the AHL before someone tries to make a name for himself by dropping with him? Hope he doesn't hurt his hand...

GDT GAME#23 Habs vs Panthers 7pm Thurs Nov 30 2023
johnnyhasbeen replied to DON's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Last outing Primeau looked like Price for the first period, then looked like crap. In this game he was Price like for 2 periods, then fell apart. 3rd time a charm? -

Just heard Newhook is out 10-12 weeks.

GDT Game #11 - November 4th - Montreal vs. St Louis - 7 p.m.
johnnyhasbeen replied to GHT120's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Good news, they will be on the back end of a back to back and a tough one vs leafs. Bad news, blues were coming off a game the night before vs devils and still out performed us. -

johnnyhasbeen replied to GHT120's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Looking ahead at our schedule, we have a tough few weeks ahead. That game reminded me of the Wild game from the get go. No flow to our game and errant passes really cost us all game. I called 7-2 after the first, much closer than I expected. Oh well. Bring on T Bay -
GDT Game #7 Oct 26 2023 Habs vs Columbus 7pm
johnnyhasbeen replied to DON's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Another great effort resulting in 2 points. Am I the only one on the Eiserplan here? He is the winger we need. We need a top 2 pick this year -
What? Are we going to break last season's mark for man games lost due to injury? We must be in the league lead again?

GDT Game 3 - Montréal vs Minnesota - October 17th, 2023 - 7:00 EST
johnnyhasbeen replied to bar's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
My first complaint about MSL. Our lines were running well together. Why change all 4 for one injury. Keep the lines the same, call up Roy to fill in on second line on wing, Newhook takes center. Other lines keep chemistry intact. What a mess last night. -
HabsWorld 17th Annual Regular Season Prediction Contest
johnnyhasbeen replied to Peter Puck's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I have tossed the towel in for my prediction, lol. -
Can we just fire the entire medical staff please. Cole was injured months ago in a tank season. Why was he not sidelined? They ruined Price. Let's not let them prescribe drugs to our players to have them play through injuries until addicted again. So upset that they did this to another young star. Fire them. Now. Then start a criminal investigation into improper prescribing of drugs. Patients only become dependent through their doctors lack of control.

Habs Retro "Expos" Sweater is official
johnnyhasbeen replied to GHT120's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
Reminded me of the old Penguins. Yuck -
Play right within my expectations and only going to get better. Tankers be damned! We will go to the dance and Carey will be back for his final run. I believe! He would have a better shot with this defense in front of him than he had 2 years back and we have way more goal scoring. If that team could come up just short what makes you think this team can't?
