DON Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I almost expect a win today. Tyler Pitlick, not near as effective as cousin Rem and wont be missed in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I'm personally hoping for a loss. I'd rather take a win against a top team (Leafs on Saturday night!) than somebody that we might pass in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Need a loss here. But not a bad one that hurts young defense confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I hate loosing to the Sens... and I hate tanking. I hope for a loss in OT/SO so that it doesn;t feel as bad. If the Habs wanted a loss, Montembeault would be playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Interesting - Gallagher comes back in on the fourth line with Poehling and Ylonen with no other line changes. I wonder if that means Ylonen might actually crack 10 minutes played tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's my sentiment but the Habs have had their way with Ottawa this year so likely a Habs win tonight, something like, perhaps 4-2.

Since 11 teams will have a shot at the #1 overall pick both getting a point and not getting a point could be the difference in having the first overall pick, depending on which "slot" wins the lottery ... think it is better to say at having the best chance at getting Wright.

I didn't think that was much of one but I suppose that technically was interference. A pretty eventful second period with plenty of good and plenty of ugly from both sides. That doesn't come as much surprise, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our most-used D-man (Chiarot) is gone as is our most-used forward (Lehkonen). And even before the deadline we were much weaker than we had Danault.

BCHabnut Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Barron with a beaut. Gallagher gets one. CC pops another and bring home an important loss. Good night overall. 4-3 would have looked better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Gally called out Stutzle's antics: At first I rolled my eyes at Gally doing this to an opposing player during an abysmal season, but after reading the quote I think he did it the right way and didn't go too far or resort to too many old school platitudes.

DON Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Fun game. The kids are alright. Ylonen 4 shots in 11:50. Barron 5 shots and pretty darn impressive 1st goal. 17:56 for Harris 2 shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
