GHT120 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 This is Toffoli's first game against LA since being traded by the Kings ... Vancouver didn't play the LAK after the trade or in the "tournament" ... and last season was, well, "last season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well, shouldnt be a huge underdog in this one. Need Suzuki & Caufield to start putting pucks in net. GHG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I generally don't like when the Habs play day games because they usually lose them. However, their record for day games has seemed to improved in the last few years. Hopefully, the Habs will pick up points today, and tomorrow. Unfortunately, they dont typically do well in back to back games either. It's unarguable that the Habs are desperate for some points. Go Habs Go!!

Sir_Boagalott Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Too bad Toffoli missed. He lit up Van, so maybe he will do the same vs LA. Suzuki had a great rush. Nice play by Niku to draw a penalty. They seem to have cohesion so far. Anderson!!! 1-0 Habs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 That wasn't a great period for the first 16 minutes or so but a lead is a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Yup, 1-0 after 1, nice road start. Romanov 1a 1 shot in 1st Took no penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 This is a huge game with LA a point behind them in the overall standings, a 4 point game. Perhaps a little early to start looking at games this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Wow LA can just walk right in on Allen.. defence is brutal… Good thing Allen is playing great… they need to fix this D if they want any hope of making the playoffs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Are we at the point with the power play where Petry needs to be off it entirely to hammer home the message that with scoring wingers, plans A through D shouldn't be get it to Petry for a point shot? It's really easy to defend when that's all they seem to be allowed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just may well be ... but one has to wonder if it is so engrained in their genes at this point that they would force feed whoever is at the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be much worse defensively either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Caufield I worry about their confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on me for thinking that way so early in the year but I just don't think there is much hope for making the playoffs. It is still early though.

Sir_Boagalott Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Benny Hot Shot Chiarot? His shot seems to be so much better for some insane reason. It's like he did nothing but shoot at a net all off season or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 That was disheartening to watch. Down one going into the 3rd and that's the best they can muster up? No attention to detail offensively or defensively (Gallagher was practicing the ole defensive tactic as the period went on), no hustle, no intensity, no interest whatsoever. If you claim to be a team interested in accomplishing something, that's inexcusable. I generally don't like the idea of a trade for the sake of merely shaking things up but I think it could actually be beneficial here as clearly, this group on its own doesn't seem to be all that interested in trying right now.
