dlbalr Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's a historic game of sorts tonight as Sportsnet will be broadcasting the Montreal-Toronto game in 4K, marking the first hockey game to be shown at resolution. Will 4 times the resolution mean 4 times the struggles? I hope not... Max Pacioretty - Tomas Plekanec - Brendan Gallagher Alex Galchenyuk - David Desharnais - Dale Weise Tomas Fleischmann - Lars Eller - Daniel Carr Brian Flynn - Torrey Mitchell - Devante Smith-Pelly Andrei Markov - P.K. Subban Alexei Emelin - Jeff Petry Nathan Beaulieu - Mark Barberio Mike Condon Ben Scrivens Scratches: Jacob de la Rose, Greg Pateryn Injuries: Paul Byron, Tom Gilbert, Carey Price Michael Grabner - Nazem Kadri - Leo Komarov Shawn Matthias - Tyler Bozak - P-A Parenteau Josh Leivo - Peter Holland - Joffrey Lupul Daniel Winnik - Byron Froese - Richard Clune Jake Gardiner - Dion Phaneuf Matt Hunwick - Morgan Reilly Martin Marincin - Roman Polak James Reimer Jonathan Bernier Scratches: Brad Boyes, Frank Corrado Injuries: James van Riemsdyk, Stephane Robidas, Nick Spaling Puck drop is at 7 (but by the time you get the extended pregame show plus the pregame ceremony, probably closer to 7:20) on CBC, TBA Sports, and the NHL Network.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That lineup looks better with Carr in it. And it's still a good lineup on paper. If everyone plays up to their career norms - Pleks, DD, Fleischman, and Markov, I'm looking at YOU - we really should get better results than we've been afflicted with. Lord, do I hate Toronto. Please, please, let's have a turnaround and kick their fat asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett's Magnatones Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I know I said this before in another thread, but what's up with Subban and Markov being paired together? I thought both MB and MT agreed less than 72 hours ago that he couldn't play top minutes. I would just take my chances with N8 to be honest, Markov can't compete with top competition.

Commandant Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Why are Markov and Subban still paired? Another situation where its on the GM.... Beaulieu isn't playing well (and may have some kind of injury as he left last game early). The fact we have no one on LD is another problem the GM must fix. 2 Top 6 forwards 1 Top 4 LHD at minimum need to be acquired to make this team a contender. Thats the realization that has moved me from the "lets get one scorer and we can make a playoff run" group, to the "trade markov, weise, flash, gilbert; shut down price for the year, and tank" line of thinking.Get one of your top 6 forwards or top 4 D via the draft. Fill the other two spots in free agency. Hope Beaulieu and Galchenyuk take another step forward. If they don't we'll have two more holes.

Depressing, man. That said, we could read your post as saying 'this is what the team needs if it doesn't have Price.' With Price, we may well be able to get away with filling only some of those holes. E.g., there is simply no WAY we can continue without adding at least one more legit top-6 FW. But maybe we won't need two. Etc. (Note also that it's possible MB has always agreed that this team as currently configured is not a legitimate Cup threat. This could explain, perversely, his patience and willingness to suffer this brutal losing streak without making major moves; in his mind, this was never going to be The Year).

He has been putting this team together for 4 years, that is depressing, when is The Year going to come. I would like to see another Stanley in this decade. also this reminds of that sign: Free beer tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes neither does the future.

It's a legit criticism, although it's actually more like 3 1/2 years. We have some great core pieces, and the standard model is a 'five-year plan.' So, let's see what he does between now and September rather than go kaka-coo-coo, I say. EDIT: gee, a TO-Habs game and zero commentary on the game thread? Sign of the times, eh?? DD with a nice goal. Let's have about five more like that tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan84 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Good period for the Habs. Good thing they got the second one since they needed to get rewarded for that period. It's mental at this point. Clune is gonna do something stupid tonight especially if it were to get out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Clune the clown... these are the times I miss Prust Vancouver fans have just about had enough of him too. Apparently he's way worse than he was last year. Great period from the Habs, nice to see them get that second goal late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm liking the Eller line. Flash and Carr having a good game Eller has looked good since moving to the #3 C. He has had a couple of different wingers in that span but that line seems to look good regardless. Carr's a nice fit for them too, a bit more of an offensive threat.
