xXx..CK..xXx Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 We can't lose..... We can't lost to Mike Condon. Quote
Davehab Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 wow this is a really nice GDT, good job Quote
DON Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 TSN690 just noted couple changes; Flynn is in, Carr is out, Byron moves to 3rd line Quote
habs rule Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Beauty GDT. With no Fleury and no Crosby, we should be able to kick the bird that can't fly's ,a$$. But we need to play somewhat better than we have for the first 2 games. Maybe the kindly old coach known as le genius could actually have this team ready to in the first period instead of the 3rd. I recall this being a real problem for the last few years. Le boys start slow, get in a hole then have to crawl out of it. Maybe all this leadership could get them ready for game time. Oh yeah and........ Quote
JoeLassister Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Rotoworld have Fleury as the starter. Quote

Also, was mentioned on TSN690 and am curious what people here think about Pateryn being scratched after playing well, for possibly a partial PR move by inserting Sergachev, who most likely will struggle again with growing pains? Anyways, is Pateryn getting the shaft and unfairly treated to simply allow Sergachev to get huge ovation and because his family member flew over here? Quote

Chris Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Habs have a problem scoring against most goalies, AHL fringe goalies or regular NHL goalies. I don't have a problem bringing in a couple new players into the lineup, they looked terrible most of the game against the Sens. I would have preferred a different player coming out, time will tell. Flynn was good before he was injured last year. Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Ya, I'd assume it's something to do with faceoffs. Chucky needs to get his shit together in the dot. Quote
Chris Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Desharnais is ranked #83 out of 84 centers who played more 140 minutes of PP in past yr:.. Quote
DON Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I know Bergevin decides who is demoted to/promoted from AHL, but does he also have a say in who is scratched from the lineup, or is that strictly a head coaches' call? Quote

Good question. I don't pretend to know the answer with certainty, but I believe that a. lineup decisions are coaching decisions, except in cases where a player's contract status is relevant; but that b. coaches and GMs are in regular communication, so it's not unlikely that GMs also get a word in from time to time, if only as sounding boards (e.g., the coach might say, 'I'm thinking of trying this..')

They may have noticed a lack of puck moving defense on the bottom pairing. With this teams speed and balance through all 4 lines, I would want puck movers on every pairing. It's why I was disappointed Barberio is gone. I don't see sergachev playing beyond his 9 games. How is Redmond in this department? Quote

Still hoping its Condon since it would be nice to see how he tries to respond against us and the goalie who replaced him. The only confirmation I've seen is from Marc-Antoine Godin of le Journal de Montreal and it seemed like more of a projection. Leftwinglock and DailyFaceoff still don't have confirmations. Condon along with two others were the only Pens to take the optional skate this morning. Quote

Therrien would have a say in players recalls as well, Bergevin wouldn't force someone up that Therrien really doesn't want to play unless it's a showcase situation. I would imagine Therrien has the final say in scratching bottom six players; that shouldn't be something to run by a GM. 1 hour ago, BCHabnut said: How is Redmond in this department? He's a somewhat mobile defender that could in theory complement Emelin. I don't think he's a great puck mover but he'd make sense to try at some point. Quote

sbhatt Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Big cheer for Muller, mostly boos for Therrien during the introductions; fans will be pushing for a coup at the first sign of a slump. Quote

Commandant Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 That was a pretty shitty opening ceremony as compared to previous years. Quote
