Yep... you are the man right now. Calgary is coming in with a bitter two game losing streak, going to be a close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Habs need to come out strong and not play like they have been off for 4 days. If they can do that, this should be a win. Oh, and stop hemorrhaging powerplays. That’s starting to get old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Are we going to see another Habs player hat trick? I think YES and a shortened exit for their goalie Go Habs Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumpano21 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Seeing a “Calgary runs 4 lines” narrative out there. And then I see Lucic on the 4th line. Please play your 4th line. Often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 This will be a tougher game and I’m curious to see how we handle a player like Tkachuk now. I expect that he gets some good punishment. Looks like we get the flames back up tonight. We are gonna destroy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news if it is their backup ... it will be their first game of the season ... and as Rittich is neither Quebec born nor a QMJHL alumnus, that "bugaboo" isn't a factor ... Habs are obviously not going to maintain their current pace, which for an 82 season would yield 137 points (rounded up) ... they are bound to lose games and I fear tonight may be their first outright loss ... even with Rittich in ... but a hope I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Price plays well then we win. If Price plays poor then we loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The Habs should take this game for sure. 3 hours ago, GHT120 said: Habs are obviously not going to maintain their current pace, which for an 82 season would yield 137 points (rounded up) ... they are bound to lose games and I fear tonight may be their first outright loss ... even with Rittich in ... but a hope I am wrong I believe the Habs will be the last team to go undefeated in regulation. Wash is the only other team that has been playing that have not lost in 60 mins. (Dal & Flor havent lost in regulation either but they have only played 3 games so that really isn't comparable). The interesting thing is the Habs are unarguably doing great so far, but have they really plateaued? I almost think they are still gelling and getting to know each others styles, etc. The Habs might actually get even better, which is crazy. ex: they are definitely taking tons of stupid penalties, which allows other teams to be in some of the games. Realistically, they should be able to reduce those penalties and lower their Goals against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really getting better or just a bit of good luck? The first unit was brutal on the opening PP with the second unit scoring off limited zone time and the results were flipped on the second one. I thought both power plays were quite poor overall with their lone opportunity going in the net. Not that I'm complaining or anything...

TurdBurglar Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Its early for Perry, but I'm not seeing anything in Armia's game that Perry isn't delivering. The sample size with this lineup is small, so it's hard to say, but if this continues Armia could become a good trade chip along with Mete to get an upgrade somewhere.

dlbalr Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Stat of the period - there were only 10 faceoffs. One of those obviously was at the beginning so there were only nine whistles. Two were off goals, two more off Calgary's penalties so just five others the rest of the way. That doesn't happen very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
