maas_art Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I cant shake this feeling like we are going to win this series. Its honestly the first time I have ever sort of "wanted" a series loss (1st or even 9th in this year's draft are nothing to sneeze at)... but somehow i think we'll be just good enough to win. That said, you've got playoff intensity and preseason conditioning so i think the team that wins will likely be the one who has the fewest injuries.

H_T_L Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Might catch them sleeping a few games so anything is possible i guess. Our D really got exposed in that Leaf game so that can't happen if we're to have any shot. Special teams look far from ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't give a tinkers dam about the draft (just look at how we have drafted the last few years). We have about a 12% chance of picking first, (it ain't gonna happen).

Neither have I and now is no different... and the draft will be interesting if not necessarily a win either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that & im sure, when the games start, i'll be cheering for the boys. But its just so tough to ignore 1st or 9th. At 1st you get a pretty near cant fail prospect. I know, i know, Alexander Daigle or Doug Wickenheiser, but honestly how often does that happen? This isnt a weak draft year like 2012 when Yakupov was the best of a really underwhelming group. Im pretty confident that Laf. is the real deal. And what if we lose the lottery & pick 9th? Thats still going to be a pretty special player. This draft is very deep, meaning top 5-7 guys are all really really high end. All you need is for a couple of teams to pick possitionally & its possible we end up with a guy who should have gone in the top 6. Anyway, will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

HabsAlways Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Winning any series in this cluster$%$% of playoffs only serves to reinforce MB's narrative that he's built a good team. That all you need to do is make it and then anything can happen. Good teams don't just need to squeek in or get a last ditch effort due to a global pandemic.

If we beat pittsburgh in a totally fluky way & then lose 4 straight in the real "first round" you can bet that MB will only focus on the fact that we beat Malkin/Crosby led penguins, so we can beat anybody.

campabee82 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ok so we got our Asses handed to us by the Leafs (A team we beat 3 out of 3 times this year) on Wednesday so we practiced with the same lines yesterday?! This is going to be bad tonight. Wednesday it wasn't any of the Leafs big 4 that beat us it was their bottom 6 that severely exposed our bottom pair. Why the hell isn't Mete-Juulsen the bottom pairing after that fiasco? It was pretty obvious that Fleury wasn't ready and Ouellet wasn't capable.

CaptWelly Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I like Suzuki but we need Domi centering for Drouin have Suzuki on the right wing. They can alternate for face offs if needed. We need the offense. Put Armia back with Lehk's and JK. Than have Poehling or Evans centering the forth line. Poehling , Evans , Byron. Tatar, Danault, Gallagher Drouin, Domi, Suzuki Lehks, JK, Armia Poehling, Evans , Byron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-2 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 When asked about his defensive pairings for Game 1 against the Penguins, Canadiens head coach Claude Julien says nothing is set in stone and they'll be making changes as things play out.

Habberwacky Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Well we cannot afford penalties today as we give up too many shorties!!!! It is nice to have the Habs back and with a little puck luck we can win this one. I am making sure I do not watch the last minute of any of the first two periods in these games as we continue to be overly generous to the opposition during this time.
