Prime Minister Koivu Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Hopefully Habs play as well as the last time we played them. I kind of think the Habs are looking like rough waters are coming. Just based on how our games have been going lately. Also wondering what Marty is going to do line wise as he likes to keep us in suspense. Sounds like Allen is starting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 And the BIGGEST news from MTL@BOS: What you need to know: 4. Typically, the Canadiens’ red uniforms are reserved for games at the Bell Centre but that won’t be the case tonight. The Bruins’ Centennial season features five special “Era Nights,” and on Saturday, they’ll celebrate the 1960-76 “Big Bad Bruins.” For the occasion and as part of their 100-year anniversary, the team has opted to sport their vintage white alternate jerseys, prompting the Habs to go with their classic red sweaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 On paper, it dont look good match-up for the Habs, but maybe can upset them once again?

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I have a feeling the Bs will bring their A-game tonight, having been stung at the Bell Centre. How the Lucic debacle affects this calculation, I don't know. But I suspect we're in for an onery bunch of Bruins tonight - and us with no WiFi. A whuppin' is a distinct possibility.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The ice was a little tilted that period. Allen was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also interesting to me how stats brush up against perception or the eye test as it were. I should get knowledgeable about advanced stats because it’s a part of the game now.

There are of course other issues with the roster, but the loss of Dach really impacts the roster. With him healthy the jobs of Suzuki, caufield, Monahan, Newhook and Slafkovsky would all be easier as he makes those around him better and it's harder for opposing teams to key in on Suzuki defensively. I'm sure we're missing the small things Savard does as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having very little coaching experience, he's learning too. Who knows, in a couple of years he may be a master of strategy and bench-management. But he will be assessed by very different standards once the team is decent. I like what I've heard about MSL's approach to the kids. He was an off-the-radar choice to coach and seems to be genuinely innovative in his approach to young players. 10 minutes ago, Neech said: Nice goal from Slaf. Thank God. I'd love to see him start producing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
