DON Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Habs 7th in g/gm but top scoring Hab, Drouin is just tied for 60th place in scoring. Didnt realize Petry played 32:12 vs Columbus. Well, see if the Weber-Chiarot pairing can minimize the damage by Ovi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Caps goals scored by line: 1st: 26 2nd: 25 3rd: 7 4th: 6 Defencemen: 13 Habs goals scored by line: 1st: 20 2nd: 11 3rd: 11 4th: 5 Defencemen: 13 Those Washington two top lines have scored as many goals as our four lines put together. We'll need a solid game from out top two lines and some clutch saves from Price in order to win this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumpano21 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 WSH is a championship calibre team this year. My only want for these games is hard work from the boys. A lot of hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 One of the harder games we have this month. A win here would setup for a great month in the standing, assuming we don’t play down to our competition the rest of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they always tended to struggle in Washington, oh well just hope they can outgun them and likely need Price to rob Ovi at least once or twice.

tomh009 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That was a solid first period against a top team. Outshot and out-chanced the Caps so far, but still scoreless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 That was a better second half to the period but the defensive coverage was lacking in the early going. The Habs were fortunate to not be down early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Ovechkin should have been called for his hit on Lehkonen. He was clearly off his feet when he made contact. 😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Now Suzuki, making a beauty of a pass to Gallagher, open in front of the net ... but intercepted by Caps D, straight into their own net. Nevertheless, mark it a just-past-the-PP goal and 4-0 Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Three points for Tatar and Danault so far. Suzuki is now fully comfortable as an NHL player, and the plays he's starting to make from that comfort... *chef's kiss* And I don't know if it was getting used to a new coach or maybe even getting used to Eastern Conference play, but Chiarot doesn't even look like the same player that started the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergevin’s scouts (who?) may have seen something that gave them confidence that Chiarot could adapt to and thrive in the east. Because clearly this is not the Chiarot that played last season.

dlbalr Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 A bit of a hard-earned empty-netter for Tatar who picks up his fourth point of the night to seal it. It was a pretty solid road game overall aside from the sluggish start defensively and a small hiccup on the bad Mete pinch that led to Kuznetsov's goal.
