One, I didn't see it when I copy/pasted the lines from yesterday's GDT. Two, I have a hunch he'll play after Carr didn't exactly impress last night.

Neech Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 A Farnham-based hunch seems dubious, especially one in his favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it either but somehow he seems to be ahead of Terry in the pecking order and although the Habs don't often change their lineup after a win, I think the coaches were expecting more from Carr after benching him previously. Those two points could result in Farnham unfortunately returning to the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Tonight's game is gonna be a tough one! I really hope the boys are gonna show up to play tonight! Would be nice to score 4 or 5 goals on Dubnyk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Makes you wonder what could have happened if Dubnyk got the call, when Price went down against New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubnyk was awful that season. he needed to go home and find his game. He also needed to work with Sean Burke to improve. I don't think he would have played well at the time. His technique was off and his confidence was shot. Kudos to him for rebuilding both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 They play d like like last night it will get ugly. Hopefully Price will come up big and they will score 3 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What exactly is a Wild. I hope we go wild and score 6 or 7. There is absolutely no need for close games. Blowouts of the other team are perfectly acceptable. Go forth and score little ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Seems like the old Emelin is creeping back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Slow start but not a bad period overall from the Habs. The Wild are a sharp defensive team so there aren't going to be anywhere near as many chances offensively as there were last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 By the way, it's nice to see Redmond back in and Johnston in the press box. In a back to back, they can't afford to have one of their blueliners under 10 minutes - they should be able to get a bit more than that from Redmond.

Habsfan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 2-0 Wild. Not the kind of start we were hoping for... I've got a bad feeling that it's already GAME OVER!!! I really hope i'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm starting to feel bad for Carey! 3-0 Wild! Is there a real chance that we can come back in this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 What a signing Eric Staal has been for the Wild (three-year, $10.5 million). He now has 37 points on the year in this his 40th game. Quite a bargain. Well that game got out of hand quickly. Not likely to get four past Dubnyk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hmm... goals were a deflection 2 feet in front of him; giving a breakaway to the other team's best player; and letting their player walk down the slot and past four habs. Seems to me all three are what most teams call hanging a goalie out to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for that 4th one...again, yes, crap D by his team...but that's a puck he normally stops when he's 'on'. The team certainly isn't helping any though, that's for sure; soft D zone play and can't score tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
