dlbalr Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 One possible thing to watch for the Habs is a late-day call-up on the back end. Emelin's wife is expected to give birth later today and he wasn't at the morning skate. As a result, his availability is in question. The IceCaps have been skating in Montreal all week so if they do need to call someone up, it won't be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 And there it is, Hanley's up on an emergency basis. Sven Andrighetto has been sent down as well. As it's an emergency recall, Hanley can be demoted at any time during the roster freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 So may be Beaulieu-Weber & Barberio-Petry as top four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I didn't like that period of hockey...far too many shots fired wide. It's going to be hard enough to score on Dubnyk, so can hardly afford to let him off the hook when in quality shooting situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the period to be honest, especially after they weathered the early push from Minnesota. (They only missed the net four times in the period which isn't that high.) Minnesota's a strong defensive team so the chances are going to be more towards the outside by their design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 While they're pointing out on the broadcast that Hanley has barely played four minutes tonight, it's also worth noting that Redmond has also only played four minutes. This is not a comforting stat knowing there's another game tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Seems like Mitchell completely forget about Zucker in the slot on that second goal. 1 minute ago, dlbalr said: While they're pointing out on the broadcast that Hanley has barely played four minutes tonight, it's also worth noting that Redmond has also only played four minutes.

His ice time has been steadily decreasing as he's now showing himself to be the fringe guy he is over the player who looked pretty good the first couple of games. Part of me wonders if it'd be worth sending Terry down after the game and calling up Lernout to go with 7 D tomorrow in the hopes that he can handle a few shifts to take some pressure off of guys like Weber/Petry.

Habsfan84 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Enjoying this game quite a bit. Really like what Lehkonen is doing out there. Great to see him get rewarded. Radulov has been a bit quiet as of late. Looks like the Jackets are beating up on the Pens tonight with it already 7-1. At least they are getting all the goals out of their system. Hopefully that bodes well for tomorrow night. Montoya will be pumped to get in their tomorrow to try and avenge his demons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I should quickly add that Carr and McCarron have both looked strong out there tonight. They're active around the net in particular which is good to see, especially for Carr who is at his best in tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 3 powerplays, 1 shot on goal, 1 shorthanded goal against. I'm telling ya, they'd be better off just taking a penalty and going 4 v 4 for 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
