GDT Game #9 Habs at Edmonton Thursday October 23 9pm

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Montembault in net tonight.  
 

Have to think that if he struggles then Dobes might have a path forward to #1 status - Dobes has been stellar

 

This team is fun to watch

 

 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Hell yes

[DON]

Yup Dach is a nice upgrade.

 

Mediocre record but a good PP i guess and couple 'good' players.

[Commandant]

Lights are actually on tonight.

[Commandant]

Looks like 

 

Bolduc - Dach - Veleno

 

With the other lines unchanged.

[Commandant]

Almost a goal for suzuki but review comfirms call on ice.  Not quite fully across the line.

[Commandant]

Newhook scores again... but he needs to be taken off that line apparently.

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Demidov on PP1 🎉

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Bolduc, Dach had a couple of good shifts and they have some chemistry - it’s great to see 

[Commandant]

Unlucky bounce there.  Cant blame Monty.

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Nah nothing Monty could do 

 

Really good period by Montreal and we generate a lot of good chances

[BCHabnut]

Very well played 1st period. Expect a momentum shift in the 2nd.

[DON]

Yes an OK 1st.

 

Hutson 1a 2 shots

Kapanen 1a

Yeah that line is doing well. 
 

The line that needs help is the Dach line. Veleno has been fine but Bolduc, Dach would be dangerous with the right winger - Whomever that is 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Habs are a consistently dangerous team, shift after shift. 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Montembault unlucky on both goals

[xXx..CK..xXx]

Great goal by Caufield. Undressed Pickard.

 

Evans is having a strong game. 

[sbhatt]

What a momentum swing that was!  Hopefully the PK doesn't derail that energy when they start the 3rd.  Caufield is red hot...really hope he can bag another tonight.

[DON]

Quite a swing for sure.

Habs29 must be enjoying an interesting game.

Hope Habs keep skating in the 3rd and the back to back games isnt any issue.

Slick hands on Caufield, fun stuff.

2a for Hutson

Just 14 shots for OIlers (.786% for Monty)

[Commandant]

Refs are a ####ing joke.

 

Absolutely ridiculous.

[Commandant]

Refs stole 2 points tonight.

 

####ing worst officiated game ive seen in a long time

 

[sbhatt]

The FBI should look at the officiating crew from this game next, because they called it like they had money on the Oilers.

 

And when we are getting screwed, can't get a damn save without Dobes in the net.  That should happen in 75% of games going forward without question.

[HabsFan4eternity]

Button is the only figure in this game speaking out about the garbage officiating, just switched to sportsnet to listen to interviews and the Sportsnet crew is praising the oilers! Button said “there was a robbery at the louve earlier this week, and if the habs lose tonight it will be a pretty huge one too.” Absolutely inexcusable every single ref and linesmen need to be investigated after this one. Anderson’s unsportsmanlike is absolutely atrocious. 

[Commandant]

The boarding on Slafkovsky was a ####ing joke before the anderson one.
