First impression is that our D is going to get torn apart by leafs skill
I can hope that we score as many as them. Our forwards look capable of putting the puck in the net.
8-7 game with Murray getting chased would be cool
Agreed with first statement.”Hope” is correct for second, although last season and this preseason leads me to believe it is actually rather hopeless.
I’d be fine with the entertainment value of that game tho, can’t really recall last time I saw a Habs W.GHG!

I don't know if they have a healthy scratch up front right now. The veterans missing that were there last game are due to injury.
When everyone is healthy, I think he's the 13th forward. Everyone isn't healthy so he has a pretty safe spot in the lineup right now.
Wise words on both counts now that you mention that about the current injuries.

Saw on Sportsnet page that it was 2-2 but they hadn’t listed scorer.
jays season over 10-9 blew a 8-1 lead

I think the coaches LOVE him and at a minimum he is the 13th forward.
I see the logic in that thought.
He has been a nice find, just so many NHL proven forwards, would think they’d be able to score lol.
-
Regarding Pitlick, I’ve liked some and disliked some of his pre season.
I see him as odd man out, anyone think there is room for him on Habs?

But, IMO, a cheap shot hip check given that the guy didn't have the puck.
Noticed Pitlick got interference call.
also see sens pp goal 1-1
-
Skimmed the penalty summary so far, looks like this has gotten greasy.
Lots of misconducts and stick penalties it says.

Jays are making things interesting for sure but in all the wrong ways. Blew a huge lead and its all tied up going to the bottom of the 8th. A bit frustrating.
indeed, collisions / injuries
ugh
they are following the leafs playoff trend tho.

Given the score and it being an exhibition game likely yes.
Was figuring so, more so hoping it wasn’t injury related.
pretty sure you’re correct

It has begun .....
Pitlick just flipped a Sen with a hip check and a big kerfuffle ensued. No fights but a lot of pushing and shoving with Anderson getting a penalty.
It’s like I was there, great description and sounds familiar.

4g now.
Woot woot, and apparently a PP goal to boot!

Was the goaltending switch just to share the game?

Caufield so far 3g1a 4gms 18:53/gm.
I am not real worried he will be targeted i this game...Arber or Pezzetta likely.
Yeah, I believe he is season-ready. Obv a young guy and can handle the games but hate to see him be a casualty of a clutch and grab, hack and whack type game.
I have always been impressed in his ability to make plays yet still protect himself so not sweating it.
He’s looked good imo, hope he Carrie’s it into season, his shot is top notch obv. -

Not impressed with Sportsnet Now. The last game it wouldn't let you watch the game until 6:30 PM EST when it started at 6 PM EST. Today it's showing the game doesn't start until 7:30EST, when it's already on.
that blows.Im visiting family in NB and can’t get the game on tv…
Usually get every game out here so this is weird, same for last one as well.
Hoping for some updates, opinions here tonight.
Between jays game and free centre ice package preview (watching Dallas at Minny) I am entertained before the feast weekend gets deep.
Would like to be watching Habs tho.

And under the circumstances. W - T - F is Caufield doing in the lineup???
Was wondering that as well, he’s played a lot this pre season it seems.
Nice for local fans to see him play though. Just hate to see him injured in a meaningless game.
Better get that one win today tho.

Agree, now fingers crossed the big young guy is NHL ready and doesn't have any real struggles defending vs NHL forwards.
Definitely agree, and am actually a little optimistic as after looking into him more It appears he has been consistent (not prolific) at all levels.
Given our RHD depth this pickup is really impressing me as being smart gamble with potentially high returns. -
Sens icing a weaker lineup tonight, but plenty of plugs and goon-ish types. Could get greasy.
-
Without knowing anything besides what I’ve read today, looks like a decent wire pickup.

Perhaps more importantly ... if they determine that Harris and Barron are not yet quite ready ... and can't find a better (if still not good) veteran place-holder on waivers, then they may be more willing to "sacrifice" Bowey than to be premature in giving a true prospect real ice-time.
Agreed. -

I am starting to think Bowey will stay with the team because loosing him on waivers would make a difficult situation worse.
He has some NHL experience...
Think you’re right.

Finally had a chance to follow up on this and read recent posts.
Rather than quote a bunch just to say I agree, thought I’d make a blanket statement.
So many good points and ideas suggested, thanks for the thoughts on this.
This will become a business case of how not to handle a scandal. They’ve (Hockey Canada) really done themselves no favours in the handling of this.

I know what you mean but there is no scenario in my mind where Montembeault is the right goalie for any situation involving an NHL team. He is that bad of a goaltender.
Possibly but I'm hoping the second year was a poison pill to scare Arizona off and they'll be content with Montembeault in the #3 role next year as a highly-paid minor leaguer.
Yes, I agree and hope management does as well.I also believe Primeau is never going to become a solid starter so goaltending pipeline is a high priority. As in a combo of developing current prospects, but also scouting at all levels for any opportunity.
Bu time Allen’s contract is up (assuming he isn’t traded) the team could be pushing for playoffs if they have a legit starter.

Wow, flabbergasted at the extent of covering up.
