GDT Game #78 Florida at Montreal Tuesday April 7, 7pm

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Tough home loss on Sunday but Montreal has been deadly lately 

 

 

I really hope a major milestone happens on Tuesday because I worry things will become a distraction

 

 

I expect Dobes in net

 

 

Go Habs Go

 

Hopefully we don’t see this Marty against Florida

Dach and Texier practicing with the regular group today. 
 

Maybe one or both play tonight?

[GHT120]

 

Seems like Dach more likely if he isn't doing the "extra work" the suite-dwellers usually do after the skate

 

[Prime Minister Koivu]

Maybe the Gallagher poll question gets answered tonight?

 

I expect Gallagher to play either way

Tkachuk stayed in Florida because his partner is about to give birth

Interesting
 

... if it happens

[Habs Fan in Edmonton]

I believe if Florida finishes bottom 10 (likely now) they keep their 1st round pick so the organization is not worried about wins right now.

If they keep it, wonder whether they look long-term and use it or trade it for help next season

Gotta pick up 2 points here agains Florida's C team.

 

That and move on from Caufield 50th. Please.

Been saying it for a while. I’d like to see Dach with Demidov.

Key milestones still achievable by the end of the season (in my order of preference/importance):

1) Caufield - 50 goals

2) Suzuki - 100 points

3) Hutson - 80 points

4) Slaf - 30 goals

5) Demidov - 20 goals

6) Suzuki - 30 goals

7) Caufield - 90 points

😎 Demidov - 65 points (70 would have been awesome)

Hopefully #1 and #4 happen tonight!

I think they have to start thinking longer term as they won't have a 27 or 28 pick if they hang on to the one this year.

NHL has Gallagher as a scratch tonight

Not Dobson 50pts?

Dobson, Noah

77

Dobes starts, Gallagher/Veleno out (Veleno is sick), Texier/Dach in up front.  Engstrom's in for Guhle (he has missed some practices lately).  And some new line combos:

 

 

[DON]

Does Guhle let himself take more awkward hits than anyone else in the NHL?

Missed that one!

[DON]

Awful bad rebound, it seemed.

 

Well, lets see how the 8th best PP does.

Last game it sucked and hard to watch.

And bad luck it became a perfect pass to a wide-open Verhaeghe for a one-timer

[GHT120]

Fracking Xhekaj

[brobin]

They need to stop trying to get caufield 50.. just like the last game Florida is covering that pass.

[Prime Minister Koivu]

It looks like Engstrom is playing left side and Xhekaj is playing right. I wonder if this is to prepare Xhekaj to play RD with Guhle in the playoffs?
