alfredoh2009 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) A streak starts when a second game in a row is won. Habs won last game with this lineup, I'll update if there are any changes: highlighted are the players that need to keep their newfound level of play: MTL Toffoli - Dvorak - Anderson Drouin - Evans - Gallagher Lehkonen - Suzuki - Caufield (he is a rookie*, let's cut him some slack) Pezzetta(he is an AHLer, let's cut him some slack) - Poehling - Armia Chiarot - PetryRomanov - Savard Norlinder (he should not be in the NHL yet, let's cut him some slack) - Niku (his contract was terminated, let's cut him some slack) Allen Montembeault VAN Pearson - Horvat - Garland Hoglander - Miller - Boeser Dowling - Pettersson - Podkolzin Motte - Dickinson - Chiasson Ekman-Larsson - Myers Hughes - Schenn Burroughs - Poolman Demko Halak Edited November 29, 2021 by alfredoh2009 lineup placeholders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Seems an even match-up. Time for full-court press vs the Canucks? Hope Niku/Norlinder/Pezzetta dress again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 An intriguing battle of two Canadian franchises in complete meltdown mode. It is beyond my comprehension that Van has not fired Travis Green, who is well past the average life-span of an NHL coach and who has pretty clearly lost the attention of core players like Pettersson and Boeser. That organization is a gong-show. If you could combine Dim Jim Benning, who has been superb at the draft table and atrocious at trading/contract management, with Bergevin, who has been brilliant at the trade table and horrible at drafting and development, you’d have a splendid GM. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. It is an intriguing battle. Another 4 point game. I agree about Travis Green, his best before date has passed. Vancouver had high expectations this year. My prediction; Habs beat Vancouver and Green gets fired on Tuesday. Also, what the heck is going on in Ottawa? They also expected to do much much better.

DON Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Battle Royale! 6-17 Habs vs 6-16 Canucks, quite a match-up. Just how fugly will this one be? Will it cause Jeff Petry-type eye bleeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also "toughed it out" having to look at a smiling picture of KK. That picture can't be gone soon enough. Habs win. You know the score.

DON Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Not seeing Wideman, Kulak nor Pacquette out there is a nice bonus. #Habs Ducharme confirms same lineup vs #Canucks as Saturday at Pitt: John Lu @JohnLuTSNMtl Toffoli - Dvorak - Anderson Drouin - Evans - Gallagher Lehkonen - Suzuki - Caufield Pezzetta - Poehling - Armia Chiarot - Petry Romanov - Savard Norlinder - Niku Allen Montembeault Toffoli must be licking his chops to score vs Vancouver, but Pezetta will be the 1st star in this one.

alfredoh2009 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Habs saving it all for the second period I am so glad they do not have a lame duck GM anymore; they cannot blame that distraction for their soft play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Joking aside, I really like Niku’s game More than I liked Mike Reilly and Victor Mete. That is not saying much —- meanwhile, Petry comes alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
