Just hope they dont underestimated them or play down to their level. Maybe be a good game for Sergachev to play? Although I wouldn't want to scratch any of current six.

dlbalr Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The Habs are using the same lines that they had to finish last game: Radulov - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Pacioretty - Desharnais - Shaw Lehkonen - Plekanec - Byron Danault - Mitchell - Flynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Their #1 C is better than ours. The rest of the roster is garbage by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Interesting to see how these new lines do in a full game together. Radulov - Galchenyuk - Gallagher - Radulov and Galchenyuk are extremely creative and should put together some nice plays. You also have the determination of Gallagher to go to the net and finish off some of those plays.Pacioretty - Desharnais - Shaw - Pacioretty is back with his boy. Still would like to see Desharnais on the third line but guess they needed to shake things up a bit to get Pacioretty going. It's worked in the past. We'll see how Shaw does with a little bit more talent to play with. Lehkonen - Plekanec - Byron - Plekanec's just needs a little puck luck to go his way and he'll be back on track. Unfortunate for Lehkonen to drop down a line but he's been a bit quieter since the start of the season. Still young and learning the game. Danault - Mitchell - Flynn - Been a great 4th line so far this season so no need to change a thing. Anyways Go Habs Go. Excited for this game tonight.

zumpano21 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Prediction: The Habs will outclass the competition and take tonight's game as the superior team. CBC will talk nothing but Leafs all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's defensively they're suffering. Much of that is in net. I don't think it's possible for Carey Price to play down to that level. However, it's entirely possible for Andersson to play up to ours once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I think the thing that bugs me most about the Rogers TV deal is not that I miss 38 games or whatever it is...annoying as that may be. It's that I can no longer get the RDS feed and so am forced to listen to Bob Cole and whatever other asinine broadcasters the Gods of Toronto deign to force upon me. UGH.

If you really wanted to get away from the Sportsnet crew (I imagine it'll be Hughson tonight), the Saturday games in French on TVA Sports are national broadcasts. (Of course, that's a separate subscription but the option is there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, moRon Maclean basically leads off this ridiculous "Hallowe'en" broadcast (they do know it's not Oct. 31, right?) by blabbing about 1967 and basically wishing the "curse" would lift. GEE ISN'T TORONO AWESOME and oh, yeah, Habs have the league's best record but ISN'T TORONTO AWESOME??? UGH, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Leafs' speed is giving the Habs real problems. Nylander in particular has taken Markov to school. Impressive play by them, but Price is so damned smooth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therrien and Muller need to make some adjustments. Leafs 0, Price 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slightly amazing how hockey broadcasting seems to be the inverse of meritocracy. EDIT: Petry talks about how the Habs can't afford to get in a 'run and gun' game against a team as fast as the Leafs.

dlbalr Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Tough period for the Habs who looked like they were caught off guard by Toronto's speed. That's one of their biggest weapons right now, they'll need to play smarter in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just now, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: It's slightly amazing how hockey broadcasting seems to be the inverse of meritocracy. It's not really that surprising though. Sportsnet and TVA basically have the leftovers from the better networks. For example, TVA's play-by-play guy was RDS' #2 or #3 option, the colour commentator was on their Ottawa broadcasts, and Michel Bergeron, who hasn't had all that much relevant to say in two decades, is one of their lead analysts.

Sweet Mother of God, that is absurd I've got major Nylander envy. That kid is terrific. EDIT: BOOOM!! Fantastic play by Rad-u and deadly finish by Galchenyuk.

sbhatt Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The boys look so scrambly tonight...they need to settle down and execute with some purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 On the plus side, they're winning and Price is playing well. On the negative side, the Leafs are skating circles around them for the most part. I don't think they can afford to get beaten like that again in the third.

dlbalr Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Weber comes through again with another GWG. They played better in the third but they relied on Price too much for my liking tonight. Still, a win's a win, seven in a row now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
