GDT: Game #24, @ Vancouver, Monday, March 8th, 10:00EST

[Krustchev]

They don’t have enough elite talent front. That’s it, that’s all, BS schedule or not.

 

[GrandWazoo]

They shouldn't have lost this one. This one is on the bullshit schedule.

I'm going to blame Chiarot leaving his guy wide open on the tying goal.

I wouldn’t exactly call JT Miller elite talent and he dipsy doodled at will in Habs zone - Van BTW w their elite made for l 3-on-3 talent has not been able to win in OT either

 

[Sal_Butera]

TOI for the D was decent for the first two periods, but then... ugh.

First period:
Petry - 7:52
Weber - 7:01
Edmundson - 6:39
Romanov - 5:58
Chiarot - 5:38
Kulak - 5:26

Second period:
Petry - 7:41
Edmundson - 7:21
Chiarot - 7:10
Weber - 6:38
Kulak - 4:47
Romanov - 4:18

Third period:
Weber - 9:06
Chiarot - 9:08
Petry - 7:28
Edmundson - 7:01
Romanov - 3:46
Kulak - 3:31

Dom Dom did not use Weber and Chariot in OT. Petry was the only dman used, and everyone was clamoring for 3-forwards, well he used 3...

 

[Habsy]

Dragging this morning. Don't think I'll be staying up for the whole game tomorrow. 11p start, what a crock.

Habs still look lost at pond hockey.

If both D are playing there position and not both on the right side, they win 1-0. Complete stupidity by Chariot. Absolute Pylon

 

[Sal_Butera]

Habs have collected 7-of possible-10 points last 5GP...that’s just fine

It’s becoming very clear (and many would say has been for years), MBs #1 priority has got to be finding a 1st pairing LDman

I’m not staying up to watch a 11pm game

Had they scored another goal in regulation it wouldn’t have mattered.

He is in TB

 

[Habs4ever]

Dano minute and half on the ice at the beginning of 3 on 3 was really ugly. Wtff

 

[Sal_Butera]

He is in TB

He doesn’t understand how to play actual D

 

[GEEMAN]

I will take my chances over Chariots of Fire

Yeah my post had nothing to do with OT... I was mostly happy with the OT usage, especially the three forwards.

But the minutes were distributed nicely in the first two periods then our worst pair played half the third. Recipe for disaster.

It’s fine to get to the playoffs. Not being able to score enough to put games away is NOT fine in the playoffs.

 

[Sal_Butera]

There’s no correlation between regular season pond hockey & playoffs - playoffs tend to be low scoring to begin with although highly intense & fast pace

When refs start putting away whistles, which has started & should ramp up over next 10-15 games, Habs will be better structured to slow down relative speed of opposition allowing time for defensive positioning.

Most important factor of all, if Price is starting to get into form, which it’s looking like, Habs will be just fine. Add to it PP now seems to have life

 

[GrandWazoo]

Had they scored another goal in regulation it wouldn’t have mattered.

We should still be able to win those type of games. Canucks barely had any chances in the 3rd, Chiarot simply needed to be more aware, which wasn't that hard.

complicating things worked for dano last game....so.......
