Game #40 Team Tank v.s. St. Louis - 7 PM


Recommended Posts

 

Habs will attempt to stop the bleeding with a veteran-laden defence corps - only three rookies dressed!

 

Hoo boy, do we ever need Matheson or Guhle back there. And Gump Worsley wouldn’t hurt either.

That bottom 6 stinks

 

It sure does.  Will be glad when Monahan is back, and hopefully then Drouin will be back in the press box where he belongs.

Caufield on pace for 46 goals, will it be 40+ in the end?

Suzuki on 67 & Dach 47 point paces.

 

I'm a bit glum about Suze's drop off. Not blaming him, but it was a lot of fun when he was among the league's scoring leaders. I do believe that with a good #2C behind him and drawing off some attention, he could get back to that. Even McDavid has Draisaitl.

Drouin is bit overdue to score his 1st, would be fun to see him get one or two.

 

Drouin and "fun" don't belong in the same sentence. Now "bum"? - absolutely.

Pregame even more annoying than usual, or maybe I’m out of practice. “Go Toronto go! Go Ottawa go!! Gosh that Brady Tkatchuk is such a great guy!!”  Meanwhile Maclean calling players by their first name, like he’s their bud. Gawd, what a pile of fawning garbage.

Habs gradually started making a period of it after being owned for the first 10 minutes…but now #55 with a patented stupid penalty should see to it that we surrender the first goal as usual

If they are gonna keep dressing #27, might as well hope he shines.

:gohabsgo:

The problem with dressing Drouin now is there realistically isn’t anything he can do to raise his value.  He’s not going to go on a point scoring streak making him valuable to many team next season, because let’s face it, he’ not going to be traded for anything other than if a trade has to send money to another team.

Savard flashed some offensive jam that period, then got caught up ice on the Blues goal. Sigh.

 

Dvorak showed signs of life even if he came out -1.

 

I’m not sure how we outshot STL, seemed like the Blues had most of the zone time.

That sounds pretty much normal for them now.

Now that’s a pity. The Habs were so energized by Armia’s goal, they looked like their lively October selves for a while there. WiFi and Wideman bumbling about and it’s 2-1.
