Habsfan84 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 We're underway and still no gamethread so might as well post one. Lindgren gets the start and Vejdemo makes his debut. Barber takes a seat (not like he was getting much icetime anyways). Already a power play goal by former Hab Aho (not really) and Domi continues on with his hot streak. 1-1.

Scott462 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Gally takes a real bad knee to the face after falling awkwardly from Chiarot. Hope he’s ok that’s all Montreal needs is another injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'll be shocked if #11 does not have a concussion. That was a brutal bash to the coconut. I do not understand that goalie interference call. Announcer guy is right, Danault practically bent over backwards to get out of the goalie's face. The Habs have been nothing special tonight, but come on. A team needs to get a break here and there - which includes NOT getting stiffed by bizarre judgements from Toronto. Lindgren playing great.

I know they can't be expected to win every important game, but 3 straight losses to teams they're chasing in the standings at the mid-point of the season, well...

My hope is that MB doesn't make a bad decision to help them short term. I know it's been a long time since the Habs won the cup and I know there is frustration from not making the playoffs recently. But I hope MB stays the course and continues to build with the kids. I like KK, I like Suzuki, I like Romanov, I like Poehling. I hope he doesn't trade any of those guys because the Habs aren't winning the cup this year anyway. Time for another beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looking pretty safe for Habs to book that Sun morning April 5th tee time. Sure hope Gallagher is going to be OK and not a long term injury. Tough luck for Poehling, but with Danault on top of goalie, he didnt even have chance to stop shot. Anyways, happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The official ruling on the overturned goal: Challenge Initiated By: Carolina Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference Result: Original call is overturned - No Goal Montreal Explanation: Video review determined Montreal's Phillip Danault made contact with Petr Mrazek, which impaired Mrazek's ability to play his position in the crease prior to Ryan Poehling's goal. According to Rule 38.11, "The standard for overturning the call in the event of a "GOAL" call on the ice is that the NHL Situation Room, after reviewing any and all replays and consulting with the On-Ice Official(s), determines that the goal should have been disallowed due to "Interference on the Goalkeeper," as described in Rules 69.1, 69.3 and 69.4". So here is part of Rule 69.1: Quote If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact. They're saying Danault could have done something more to avoid contact. That's an interesting interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I thought it was a bad call but they had 59 minutes to change the outcome of that game and they didnt. These guys need to be sellers at the deadline for sure. I didnt realize the draft was in Montreal, so a few extra #1's will be nice for the rebuild with some younger players. My question is do you want MB and this drafting team making those decisions, 4 out 5 years no playoffs, i would get rid of all the brass and scouting team personally.
