NFT: Habs @ Rangers gamethread

Big win against those beltway skidmarks on Saturday. Gotta keep the roll going against the team that we will more than likely see in the first round. Not sure if any lineup changes yet but it's likely safe to say Henrik is in the cage and Clendo is in the press box.

Love beating these francophone fucks and their gremlin looking coach "Clode"

Let's fucking go
Starting early aren't we?  
Carl in CT : 2/21/2017 9:16 am : link
I'm sure PJ will be around as his Habs are ready for a beat down.
Fuck those froggy fucks  
YAJ2112 : 2/21/2017 9:17 am : link
Hope Clode gets plenty of facetime tonight for that fuck pjmasks to enjoy
stop saying clode hated him in MTL, hated him in BOS  
pjcas18 : 2/21/2017 9:23 am : link
hate him in MTL again.

MTL has turned into a major shitshow. These are two teams going opposite directions.

Carey Price looks like the bad version of Marc Andre Fleury, the Canadiens have no consistent offense, they rely too heavily on 100-year old Markov who makes Dan Girardi look like Chris Pronger and they struggle to break the puck out - it seems like their breakout is to flip the puck out to center ice.

The Canadiens NEED a win big time, but I think they get steamrolled.

Sadly, it's not a talent thing I don't know what it is, system, chemistry, execution.

Canadiens best players right now are Pacioretty and Radulov. If the Canadiens don't get 8 points in the 5 games left before the deadline they should be sellers.

Stepan may not play

Drewcon40 : 2/21/2017 9:44 am : link
about a week to go before the deadline. Just play to win and let the chips fall where they may. If Step can't go tonight, would it be Puempel or Pirri who gets the nod? Pirri can center. Has Puempel played C this year? They could also juggle some of the upper lines but I'd rather not.

They actually have Caps fans in Richmond? Thought that fanbase if you will evaporates after NOVA.

Their fans, all two of them, are morons, and once again the Caps go through most of the regular season with like zero injuries. Unreal.

LOL, I have no clawed induced despair no matter what happens, I can't stand him as much as I couldn't stand Therrien, maybe even a little less and I can't stand AV the same amount too - they all sucked in MTL. AV worse than the other two.

I just don't want the Canadiens to make their prototypical desperation trade.

My only fear is they lose a couple more, move to the cusp of a playoff spot and panic.

I really like Beaulieu. Not a McDonagh level prospect, but good skater big guy.

Mikhail Sergachev and Noah Juulsen are their best D prospects. Both played in the world juniors last month and did well. Tough to project 18 year olds but I see both as top 4 D-men.

Some asshole? A liitle sensitive there PJ? Embarrassing that you can't accept it for what it truly was 3 years later but that's expected when you're loyal to that franchise. And if you can't admit to the kind of players Shaw and Gallagher are, then you're simply blind and disingenuous.

Just an example for the holier than thou Rangers fans that this is hockey, it happens, every team has players that have an edge to them. Kreider is one. Gallagher is one.

Ha, I missed OT and the shootout, which is fine with me, but I'll take the point. Well played game. Great goaltending on both sides. MTL needed the point the Rangers didn't so it worked out for both teams.

OTT is heating up and the Panthers are red hot since getting healthy. Should be an interesting deadline and last 6 weeks.

ColHowPepper : 2/22/2017 12:27 pm : link
[was out to dinner, recorded and watched late last night]

PP is broken, and Arniel, or whoever it is who is responsible, should be removed from that assignment:
- coming out of their own end is painful and time wasting
- do not come across the blue line cleanly
- now resorting to dump and chase, on the PP

Most importantly, to my mind, they are way too compressed: instead of opening up the ice and space for passes and room to maneuver, they are drawing in together, makes it so much easier to the PK to defend. Too little cross ice switch of play and shoot, quickly

The passes down low to ~ the goal line are not working: no angle, not creating any movement by defenders

End of rant:

Vesey, very good two-way play last night; McD, as noted above, two great break out passes to Nash, too bad he pussyfooted the first. Kreider, mediocre game and that entire line has cooled off dramatically
Fast and Oscar looking good, Buch still looking a little lost and a step and pass slow. Skjel keeps coming on, adequate and often better in d end and likes the rush
Arniel should have been replaced two years ago

It's become a trend  
pjcas18 : 2/22/2017 12:43 pm : link
league wide now it seems on power plays to skate up and drop the puck back to the trailer to carry in the zone.

I hate it because it seems like that's usually a defenseman and the other skaters are all stopped at the blue line with no momentum for a forecheck.

Makes PP zone entry harder, yet everyone is now doing it.

I think it also makes teams vulnerable to the trailer having their pocket picked and giving up short-handed chances.

dropping to the trailer  
ColHowPepper : 2/22/2017 1:07 pm : link
at least 3x last night, that I recall, and likely a number more times, Rangers' d'man carrying was confused as to where the trailer was and who it should be, twice the drop occurred w/i five strides of the crease and the puck fumbled.

as a PK team, you gotta love it, just wastes more time and allows set-up, but in my mind, just to repeat myself, yuck, their set-up in the offensive end is premised to fail, and the numbers bear this out.

Greg, please send note to AV and Gort, I'll be happy to co-sign.

Stepan actually won a couple of face offs last night, hurray, and he's trying, grinding, 1st period seemed as if Habs won nearly every one. Who coaches taking the draw?
