20 years here with you all and I honestly don’t know if I’ve done a game day thread. 
 

I’m at my kids soccer tryouts so don’t expect much. My kid like our Habs is a huge dog to make this team.  But like I told him, you ain’t making it if you don’t try. 
 

Xhekaj in for Struble they say. Doubt Laine dresses. Barn is gonna be loud. Make it count boys.  Oh and GO HABS GO!
 

(F&$k l’office de La langue francaise)

 

[DON]

Am expecting a win today.

[Commandant]

Laine is out (upper body injury)

[Commandant]

Kapanen in for Laine

 

Xhekaj in for Struble. 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Struble doesn’t deserve this but such is the nature of #6, 7 Dmen

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Caufield back to his usual spot and Demidov on the other side is my guess 

[Helmethead]

BELL CENTRE IS ON 🔥

[Commandant]

Running around looking for hits and not playing defense, 1-0 Washington, mcmichael wide open.

[BCHabnut]

1st line hemmed them in well. Need a goal this period.

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

Anderson is 🔥

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

You know what? Slaf needs to work on his shot. That could make him a much more dangerous player

[Habsfan84]

Big kill! Can thank Monty for that huge save

[DON]

Nice start to game.

15 shots in 1st Holy Moly!

 

[Butterface]

You can’t review ?

 

nevermind answered … high stick you can and slashing you can’t… ridiculous

 

these nhl refs are ####

 

 

[sbhatt]

We are owed a call, or a non-call the next time we legit take a penalty.

[Commandant]

Carrier!!!

You can't review a 2 minute.

 

4 or 5. 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Nonsense penalty at the end there.

 

Suzuki line was dominant and all lines look good. 
 

Habs ran around a bit in the Dzone but Montembault with some killer saves.

thanks… 

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

Tremendous period by the Habs. Unfortunately they come out tied. But at least the late goal counts as some sort of reward.

 

That hit on Hutson…ooof.

 

Penalty on Suzuki was idiotic. 

 

Caufield and Anderson playing ferocious.

[sbhatt]

If we play every period like that, we will win this game.

[Neech]

Terrible turnover by the Caps led to the Carrier goal.

 

Our lines look a lot more balanced without Laine.

We will win... this one at least.
