dlbalr Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Trying a really simple GDT to see if that helps. The lines are from yesterday; Ducharme will reveal any lineup changes around 5 PM EST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 We don’t typically play well on the second night of a back to back but maybe this game will turn things around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Realistically if the Habs win one of the 3 games in regulation they are in great shape. Winning game 1 would have been just wrong as it would have taken the pressure off the Habs and Hab fans and we can't have that. It's not supposed to be easy. The Habs will likely lose tonight so they can go into Mondays game with the maximum amount of pressure on them (and us). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t shock me at all if our season comes down to the last game against the leafs. We should be a playoff lock but we lack Character and a dependable work ethic.

Unless they make the Lindgren for Primeau switch to create the cap space to allow Caufield play ... the simplest variables would seem to be who to start in goal and whether Kulak plays or not ... OR ... could they simply emergency recall Evans to take Drouin's spot to get an actual forward on the 4th line and leave Primeau to start or back-up ... if Lindgren and Caufield work under the cap I expect Primeau and Evans should as well.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Yeah why the secrecy? We don’t have many options so I’m guessing either Caufield plays or more likely Primeau plays. Unless Primeau lays down a 1986 Roy and wins us the cup, I’m not sure it will make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think a lot of it is that they don't know. If Drouin plays, it's one way and if he doesn't, it's something else. Until they go through the warmup, they don't know which scenario plays out.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hopefully Primeau can have a strong night. I don’t have faith in him but it’s to no fault of his own and more-so that I didn’t expect to see anyone outside of Price and Allen supervising our crease this year.

revvvrob Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Perhaps I missed this last game (or a couple of games ago ...) but it interesting and telling to see Perry with the A. He has gone from unemployed to taxi squad to 4th liner to top 9 to A and the season isn’t even over yet. he is an impressive player. Love his game. Brilliant addition that must be paying off more than anyone (re. MB) could have imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they bring back next year and that he'll be even better because its possible that he might be reunited with his good buddy. i.e. Getzlaf.

I would *love* to see Perry back next season. He's earned another contract, and I think he may prefer to re-sign with the Habs instead of rolling the dice with the Kraken. It's doubtful to me that Anaheim will want him back as they are going full boar on a youth movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Tough way to end the period as the Habs did well enough to deserve to have the lead. On the plus side, they look awake and engaged which is a lot better than yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
