tomh009 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Perry was sent to the taxi squad according to Capfriendly, so the four lines should be back to normal now, with Byron slotting in next to Evans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Too bad Mete wasnt back in for Edmundson. Hope losing at home (for some reason?) doesnt continue. Home: 3-3 Road: 5-0-2 Maybe need to switch dressing room at home...stay in a hotel or something 'different'. Maybe was main reason they did so well in August, playing away from Montreal.

Read that as Petry. Was immediately followed by a very loud WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Habs need to get a lead early and hold it. Second game in a back-to-back with a fresh team, they can't afford to be coming from behind or tied going into the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Puljujarvi was pulled from practice. They are doing more tests on the rest of the team, but it looks to be a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 A lot of people like the blue jerseys...I find them irritating. Vintage end to end rush by McDavid there, mercifully stopped by Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage end to end rush by McDavid there, mercifully stopped by Allen My personal opinion is that they look a lot better from close up, rather than far away. It would be nice if they would wear them on nights where the other team was wearing their reverse retro as well, though it would be a potential issue of both colours were similar colour, or both dark, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’m enjoying the Drouin line. The good thing about the line is that you can name anyone on the line, and it’s their line. ”The Suzuki line” ”The Anderson line” ”The Drouin line” They all work for me. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 They are mostly sucking ass this period. A lot of pieces which were working early - Suzuki, KK, Edmundson, Romanov, Kulak - are not clicking right now. Meanwhile, other teams seem to have discovered that the D struggles with an aggressive forecheck. Good thing Allen is standing tall. Getting a bit tired of waiting for Danault/Gally to break out...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Allen has been amazing. Anderson is excellent We aren’t forechecking again. Instead we stack up on the blue line in that defensive posture. We were unbeatable early season when we forechecked hard. Why change that CJ?

Agreed ... defence is also suffering because forwards are not controlling the offensive zone ... Habs too often spending so much time in their own zone that when they do get the puck out the focus is on making a change, not taking the offensive ... and the D sometimes getting stuck out for faarrr too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely why I’m concerned about Weber/Chairot. They get pressured and beat with speed very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a feeling all season that Weber is looking like he’s regressed a bit, but kept quiet because his offensive stats seem fine. Not sure what the advanced stats say. Edmundson has really struggled lately with speed. He’s more conspicuous than the other two. Might be time to slot Mete in more regularly.

GHT120 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The passing that was so crisp to start the season, almost looking like the could find teammates with their eyes closed, is now too often just too far or a stride behind ... sigh ... just hope they get through this stretch soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Not sure where the defence was that period. Allen looked sharp early and often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
