dlbalr Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's rematch time as the Habs will look to avenge Thursday's overtime loss to the Senators. They'll be in tough though as they're sending a pretty weak lineup into this one. It'll be the final look for a lot of players as a mass cut-down is expected to come this weekend. Matteau - McCarron - Hudon Danault - Mitchell - Byron Flynn - de la Rose - Scherbak Gregoire - Audette - Farnham Samuelsson - Johnston Alexandrov - Juulsen Parisi - Lernout Montoya Fucale Hoffman - Turris - Varone Puempel - Brassard - Ryan Pyatt - Pageau - Dzingel Kelly - Neil Chabot - Karlsson Phaneuf - Ceci Bartkowski - Kostka Claesson Hammond Driedger Puck drop is at 3:00 PM EST and can be seen on RDS (regional restrictions apply).

DON Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I expect game to be fairly rowdy so likely is Farnham's chance to shine vs Neil I suppose, or will McCarron want to play the tough guy role (or be targeted by Neil)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Good thing the vet minimum rules were removed this year, cause that Habs lineup doesn't meet the requirement (or even come close). I think I count 5 NHLers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I count 5 NHLers. For anyone wondering the criteria, here they are: 15.4 Exhibition Games. (c) A Club shall be permitted to dress a minimum of eight (8) veterans for any Exhibition Game. For purposes of this Section 15.4(c), a veteran shall constitute either: (1) a forward or defenseman who played in thirty (30) NHL Games during the previous season, (2) a goaltender who either dressed in fifty (50) or more NHL Games or played in thirty (30) or more NHL Games in the previous season, (3) a first round draft choice from the most recent year's Entry Draft, or (4) any Player who has played one-hundred (100) or more career NHL Games. I count six that make it: Byron, Mitchell, Flynn, Danault, Farnham, Montoya. That's not very many, especially at this stage of the preseason.

dlbalr Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 1-0 after 1. Interestingly, Cody Ceci and Bobby Ryan didn't play a single shift. Early message sending from Boucher? Farnham got into a shoving match at the end of the period and wound up with the extra two so the Habs will be shorthanded again to start the 2nd.

Were you thinking that before or after the Sens tied it on the power play from his penalty? Believe me, I agree with you about his uselessness. He's good at running around trying to hurt people. There's not really room for those guys anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 2-1 Ottawa after 2. Shots are 21 apiece; the Habs are holding their own. Johnston is seeing a ton of ice time, nearly 17 minutes already. Lernout is at the bottom in D ice time at just under 12. If I had to guess right now, Johnston's ahead of Lernout in the recall pecking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGC21 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I count 10 players who will be cut tonight from this lineup. I can't believe they won the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 They actually came back and won? Wow. That should boost the confidence for guys like Danaiult, Flynn and Byron. McCarron was 2nd amongst forwards in ice time, only behind Byron while taking 19 faceoffs. They got a look at him today at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Not bad for a primarily AHL/CHL/PTO team. Other than that, gotta see about trading for Hoffmann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Stamboulieh Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I didn't know vet limits were removed for exhibition games. There were 7 who qualified (Matteau was missing from the previously posted list). When and where was that announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Not a bad game for Byron and several of youngsters got a good look. Like Matteau with bunch of PP time and McCarron/Juulsen had 19+minutes with 4minutes on the PP. Johnson had 25+minutes, 5:17 on the PP and was a +3. Does anyone think that Matteau (other than Bergevin) has a future spot on the Habs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time no see, how are things? And yes, Hoffman would be nice but they just signed him long-term. 11 hours ago, Aaron Stamboulieh said: I didn't know vet limits were removed for exhibition games.

Nice catch with Matteau, I forgot his NJ games. And welcome to the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
