Dalhabs Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Expecting a loss in this one. Third game in four nights and against by far the best team. Hope Im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Devils have given up 15g in 4 games, so I see some hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purely logical part of my brain is saying that the Devils will win handily, but after watching New England beat Buffalo this past Sunday I am reminded that outcomes don't always make sense.

Baron is one guy who didn’t look good last night. There were few instances that it looked like he let himself get pushed aside too easily. I know he isn’t a physical dman, but you’d expect a 6’2” guy that is over 200lb to not get pushed aside so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 NHL.com is reporting Primeau starting as @GHT120 pointed out. Defense pairs are following; Matheson - Barron Harris - Kovacevic Xhekaj - Lindstrom I may of butchered some of the spelling. Any word on what going on with Montembeault? He didn’t look bad in his start, indications are pointing to Allen as the starter and Primeau getting a start over Montembeault in this game.

He did well against Chicago and then had a clunker against Minnesota. Allen played well enough against Washington to earn a second start (like they did with Montembeault after the Chicago game) and Primeau needs to play at some point. I'm sure Montembeault will get one of the two games between now and the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Historically, over the last 10 or so years the Habs haven't had a great record in back to back games. However, the Habs are young so some of these back to back games might be more winnable than in previous years. Plus, the Devils don't seem to be off to a good start so maybe the Habs can steal some more points off teams that should really beat them. Personally, I think they have a better chance beating NJ than CBJ so I'd rather see Monty play tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Primeau is going to play his heart out tonight. Too bad the rest of the team is tired from last night. Still I expect a very competitive game and maybe Suzuki finds his rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired is just an excuse this early in the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Yep, they're so young they shouldn't be tired this soon in the season. Right on Pezzetta!! What a great hit to start that entire sequence. I sorta questioned his shot when he took it, but the rebound was perfect. I'm liking Pearson more and more. He's no star but he's a really good role player. D'oh, that sucks NJ scored, but hopefully it is called back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hischier's skate pushed Primeau's pad across the line well before the puck went in. A good challenge and I don't think it was a tough decision in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So It was fairly easy to say Hischier made no effort to avoid contact with the goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
