xXx..CK..xXx Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 MONTREAL CANADIENS @ ARIZONA COYOTES Living in Long Beach, California, I woke up this morning at 8:30am and pondered making the 5 and a half hour drive to Phoenix, Arizona and attend the game. Not trusting my car, albeit a nice car, here I am making tonight's game thread instead. MONTREAL CANADIENS Pacioretty - Hudon - Lehkonen Galchenyuk - Drouin - Scherbak Byron - Plekanec - Gallagher Carr - De La Rose - L. Shaw Alzner - Petry Morrow - Benn Mete - Schlemko Price Niemi ARIZONA COYOTES Perlini - Stepan - Keller Archibald - Dvorak - Fischer Rinaldo - Domi - Rieder Martinook - Richardson - Cousins Ekmann-Larsson - Demers Chychrun - Hjalmarson Connauton - Goligoski Raanta Wedgewood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The Habs are making two lineup changes - Carr for Deslauriers and de la Rose for Froese. I'm shocked Jerabek isn't getting back in, however. Since it was reported a couple of weeks ago that Montreal wanted to sign him before the trade deadline, he's played all of what, one game?

xXx..CK..xXx Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 We have the better team. I predict a win. 5-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 There were Max Domi to Montreal rumours. They probably existed until people found out Domi barely plays centre anymore. He's a 45% on the dot with only 352 faceoffs. Then again Drouin only took 220 at a 43.6% faceoff last year when Bergevin decided he was a 1C so...

DON Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 http://intentionaloffside.com/?p=45986 pre game trivia...such as Price has gone 9-0-0 vs Arizona and Habs are 8-17-1 on the road, league worst in goals/game and shooting%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hudon's at centre between Pacioretty and Lehkonen while Byron moves to the wing with Plekanec/Gallagher. The Habs' twitter feed has that as the second line with the Galchenyuk-Drouin-Scherbak trio as line three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 2minutes in and I think Arizona has had 3 scoring chances. Poor Carey, in for a tough game I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I used to think Arizona was one of the only teams with a worse defence than Montreal. Not sure anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illWill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 You know your team sucks when they are down a goal after the first period against the worst team in league and it feels like they won't be able to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I guess this answer's the question...... Full rebuild. 2020 should be a solid draft to try for a top 3 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 or talent, which is a huge problem. I believe i read since CJ has taken over, the habs are the worst offensive team in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad its not the 90's any more, this team with CJ would of been good to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just want to welcome any new members to Team Tank where we watch the out-of-town scoreboard as much as we watch our favourite team play (badly.) On that note, so far tonight the only positive out of town was Ottawa and Buffalo going to overtime, with Ottawa getting the win. No such luck with Detroit and NYR in their respective games. Still to come are the results with Chicago, Edmonton, Vancouver, and of course... Montreal and Arizona. Once again, our warmest welcome to the latest members of Team Tank. There are refreshments at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oatmeal raisin cookies, Metallica? For shame. Hey I am a big boy I can handle it. Going into this season I know what to expect from this team. But I didn't think it would be this bad. I would be more up beat about things if I knew we had so good talented players coming up in the system. But man that what makes this so sad.
