H_T_L Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I think we can safely say the Wings aren't winning the Vezina this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing they have a shot at winning is the draft lottery... definitely a bottom 5 team in the league, albeit I thought we would be battling for a bottom 5-7 spot too.

BigTed3 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Tatar-Danault-Gallagher line is definitely running on all cylinders. Helped them a lot that they played together all pre-season I think. I still wonder if another player would pull more weight here than Danault, but can't complain about the overall production here. Drouin is flying the past two games, seems to have found himself for now, although I expect him to continue to be streaky. Peca also looks great tonight, and Hudon has been strong too. The two guys I think we'd most like to see score in the 3rd would be 1. Kotkaniemi and 2. Lehkonen, who needs to keep himself going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habberwacky Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Despite no points I like Kotkaniemi's gaame tonight. Still seems comfortable in his own end and is getting some chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 All in all just really impressed by the effort we've gotten up and down the line-up all games pretty much 60 minutes a night. Guys are skating, guys are trying hard. No letdown like we've been used to in recent years, and I honestly can't remember the last time I've been able to say this about the Habs.

Less ice time, worse linemates, and it's hindering his creative productivity. I think his skillset works best when he has other talent to feed... I get that they're not going to split up the Danault line nor Drouin-Domi for now, but I'd at least like to see JK get Hudon and Lehkonen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therrien got some good effort his first year and most years had them get off to a good start but this does look even more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs_93 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Glendenning's stick cuts Petry... no call, and Wings score. Should have been a 4 minute automatic penalty, on top of the boarding penalty Kronwall should have picked up a minute ago for drilling Drouin from behind.

Habs are leading and we already penalized the Wings a bunch, so no reason to call the boarding from behind or the high stick or the late shot... wouldn't want to be too hard on one team.

Right? Werent we saying all year last year that this defense was not as bad as it looked if we didnt use guys like Alzner and Benn in the top 4?

CaptWelly Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Julliesen fault getting stripped of the puck. Habs have to get back to skating hard and getting the pucks deep. In todays game it's not over yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
