Habs-Pens II: Rumble in the... Pre-Season - Game Night Open Thread

So after last night's experiment in non-linear live(-ish) game blogging, tonight we try a more traditional open thread for your game comments, as FHF continues to figure out what the fuck this blogging thing is all about. Watching the game on RDS? Listening online? Either way, here's a spot for you to say how great Carey Price is, or bring the snark. We like snark.

And the totally random stripper shot is to give you something nice to look it all night. It's like a public service from the FHF.

Frankie Bouillon was just given the Jean Bélivaeu trophy. WTF is that???

Young HF29 said...

Halak gives up a juicy rebound and it's 1-0 Pens after 37 seconds. Bring on Price!

Young HF29 said...

Jeez Halak looks lost, 2-0 Pens after 2 minutes. Seriously, bring on Price.

Young HF29 said...

Alright! The Carey Price era begins! Mark the date and time! No pressure kid!

Holy shit, watching "El Dandy" put the puck right on a Pens stick, and the way that O'Byrne seems to be playing pretty solid, I say cut "El Crappy" right now and bring on O'Bryne...

Hmmm... Koivu doesn't look to sure after that hit on his knee after scoring. Hopefully no damage...

Young HF29 said...

I agree.

And this is turning into just, blech.

Young HF29 said...

Ryan O'Byrne impressed, Price had a few nice saves. Nothing else positive out of this.

shitty game compared to last night's bonanza

Some of the plays that Carbo (Muller in the preseason?) was trying tonight were interesting. Lots of nifty little drop passes and cross-ice moves. Unfortunately, we kept passing the puck to each other's skates! GAH!!! So frustrating...

Equally unfortunate? Our top line was pretty bad tonight, Koivu's beeyoutiful goal excepted. I keep hoping Ryder will turn the corner and develop into a player who does more than score a hat trick every dozen games, but it's looking less and less likely.

That being said, Hamerlik surprised the heck outta me tonight! Seriously smooth skating, excellent awareness, and he was clearly trying to direct traffic and help the rookies out. He may turn out to be a really good investment for the team - go figure!

So I get back from a long depressing day at work and the Habs lose. Fuck the Pens. Right in the ear.

Young HF29 said...

so the consesnsus was the game, and most of the team sucked. i like that, we're in agreement.

lg77 I totally agree about Hamrlik. a bright star in a crappy galaxy last night

Flat. Flat. Flat. Occasional nice saves by Price. A couple of nice moves by Koivu. All in all, this is exhibition. I'm cutting my nails tonight, and that matters more.
