Commandant Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Whats the word on Matheson. Without him and Savard the Defence is very, very inexperienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Talk" is that he is a day-to-day groin pull ... the first test of the willingness of the medical/training staff to hold out a player even when the team "needs: him.

hab29RETIRED Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 So do we get smoked, or does Vegas kinda not showing up by disrespecting the competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key will be goaltending. Thompson has one of the best GSAx ratings in the early going (based on only five games though) and Montembeault hasn't had a lights-out game yet. For sure, the Habs are not the favourite, but they could be in with a chance if Montembeault plays well--and they stay out of the penalty box.

BCHabnut Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Blowout coming I think. Habs struggled with jets forecheck. Allen bailed em out. Doubt the goalie steals thus one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can hope for the former, but I wouldn’t hold by breath expecting the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The string of minor penalties has not been quite as bad as before. First four games they picked up 10, 20, 20 and 10 minutes in minors; in the last four it's been 10, 8, 12 and 8 (plus a penalty shot). Hopefully that's a trend that will hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Habs will be pumped playing the defending champs, Vegas due for an off night, I expect a Habs win, maybe 4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Hmm, this game is a hard 1 to predict because its not a game the Habs should win, but I do tend to agree with @Habs Fan in Edmonton and think its a game they might win. The Habs are already showing that they can win games against teams they shouldn't be beating. That will probably continue to be a trend.

DON Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Nice road period. Guhle 1shot 8:50 in the 1st Just 1 penalty so far, costly one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That needs to continue, and actually scoring PPG = potential playoff birth. That's why I want to see Mailoux and/or Norlinder in the NHL asap. They're the 2 prospects that could vastly help their PP. Increasing their PP effectiveness is absolutely crucial to them to getting more points and possibly making the playoffs. ex: by increasing their PP from near worst to just around the middle of the pack (vs near the top) could be huge for them.
