GDT Game #26 - Montreal Slafkovskies vs Seattle Wrights 10pm EST

[Prime Minister Koivu]

No lines posted by the usual reporters but will update when they appear. 
 

I suspect Allen in net and Monahan is likely not playing. 
 

Perhaps Dach moves back to centre tonight. 
 

A Slafkovsky hat trick would be super

[TurdBurglar]

Is Wright even playing tonight?

Im not sure yet but he was recalled from his AHL conditioning stint and I would be surprised if he didn’t play 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

The linked article says that Wright is indeed in the lineup. Hopefully he plays more than his 5 minutes on the 4th line. 
 

Let’s go Slafkovsky

I think he's on the third line, at least to start.

 

No Monahan for this one so Wideman will dress and either play as the 7th D or on the fourth line.

Hope Monahan takes his time healing up. Busy month for games to play, bunch road games upcoming.

Fingers crossed Slafkovski's las learned from 2 huge hits, after letting up on play not expecting to get hammered. I saw Schenn licking his chops watching him go behind the net.

 

Good time for Guhle to score a goal or two.
 

NHL rookie d-scoring "race"  ranking.

Allen is back on net and Monahan is not on the lineup to make those on his line look better.

 

Habs will loose this one, not sure I'll stay up to watch this one.

 

I hope the 4th line has a good game. I am rooting for Evans to get another point and for Pezzetta to be effective on the fore-check.

 

🙏 Please, no more injuries to pending UFAs 🙏

Is it possible Xhekaj plays forward?

 

Those lines posted by Basu has interesting D pairings 

[TurdBurglar]

Put him on the wing with Caufield and Suzuki.  It'll be like old time hockey where you put and enforcer on the line with your stars.

 

I wonder how much of a chip Wright will have on his shoulder. Slaf should get in his kitchen early, see how professional Wright can keep it.

[DON]

Another high scoring affair please.

[TurdBurglar]

Wright almost got his first NHL goal on a play where Harris was caught watching the play again.

[TurdBurglar]

Kovacevic's first!

[Sir_Boagalott]

Nice, Kova finally gets 1. 

 

Armia came super close yet again.

 

The Habs seem to be having too many failed clearing attempts.  They need to nip that in the bud.  

 

Son of a, good goal by Wright though.  

[TurdBurglar]

Matheson has been really bad the last few games for giving up the puck in bad areas.

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Allen is playing great

 

Excellent hockey from both teams. Seattle is fast and good for Wright. 
 

One thing is for sure, the Habs are a much better team offensively with Monahan on it. 

 

Come on Slafkovsky you gotta answer Wright’s goal….

I think he has been crap 💩 in all areas of the ice. 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

What a goal by Caufield 

[Sir_Boagalott]

Its always nice when your away from your screen and go over to watch the replay of goal and see a 2nd goal.  

[Commandant]

Harris wins the board battle and gets the puck up to slaf/dvorak on that Anderson goal

[sbhatt]

I'd like to see Caufield get another before this game is out, and I'd really like to see Slaf get one too.

[sbhatt]

FFS Matheson....he's really starting to p*ss me off.

[TurdBurglar]

First shot in over 10 minutes was a goal for Pitlick. 

[BCHabnut]

4 goals on 8 shots
