GHT120 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Good news that Guhle is skating ... read/heard that Dvorak also travelled to Columbus as MSL likes to "integrate" players close to return from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Man I can’t watch this game either as I was foolish and put stuff in my life on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Seems like two evenly matched teams and I’m curious about Fantilli too. Might have to record this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word "travelled" just rang in my head and I came to fix it, only to discover I had been "caught" ... I think I co-mingled some reference to the Columbus game and a general MSL principle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 Habs are favoured to win i guess. https://www.pickswise.com/nhl/predictions/columbus-blue-jackets-vs-montreal-canadiens-predictions-250526/ The Columbus Blue Jackets travel to Montreal on Thursday to take on the Canadiens for the first time this season. Both teams are off to a decent start, but there is still a long way to go. Montreal is already dealing with many significant injuries, while the Blue Jackets are down one of their best players in Patrik Laine. Despite all that, this should be a relatively close game. Montreal is 2-2 on home ice and coming off a 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Columbus is a decent team, but scores under 3 goals per game. The Canadiens are allowing over 35 shots per game, but that doesn’t mean they are going to get blown out of the water. The key in this game is goaltending. Jake Allen is expected to start for Montreal and he is 2-0-1 on the season with a 2.58 GAA and a .929 SV%. Those are respectable numbers considering how many shots he is going to face. This game could need overtime to decide a winner, so I’ll back the Canadiens to get the job done in any way they can. Canadiens ML (-115) available at time of publishing. *Montembeault has a 1-1 record this season with a 3.55 goals-against average and an .892 save percentage. Montembeault allowed five goals on 35 shots in his last start, a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I can't support ANY player punching an opponent once they have them pinned on the ice. But glad he didn't get an instigator penalty and have a 10-minute misconduct as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most situations, I would agree with you but for that particular play, regardless of team, I'm not opposed to it. It obviously taught Columbus nothing as they've gotten their 2nd boarding penatly in less than 10 minutes of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Slaffy's getting frustrated. I'd love for him to score one tonight in front of the home crowd just to get the monkey off his back. Lots of empty seats in the crowd. Does anyone use gametime or other last minute ticket-selling apps? I'm wondering if there are any last minute deals on tickets to be found out there.

Not only did that jerk-off check him head-first into the boards, he then punched Wifi in the head. He deserves every frigging blow to the head he got. Especially since we cannot trust the NHL's "player safety" himbos to do anything but pick their noses about the initial hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well, if a Hab checks a guy head-first into the boards, putting him at risk of a concussion and possibly even paralysis, I will quite understand the other team whaling on that Hab. I won't like it, but I'll understand it. None of this would be necessary, though, if the NHL could be trusted to impose stiff sanctions on this kind of behaviour in the first place.
