If #Carrier & #Dobson are not available, here are my D pairings for Game1:
#Matheson #Guhle
#Struble #Hutson
#Xhekaj #Reinbacher
But more use of the 3rd pairing: like 15 mins. (Ofc depending on how the game develops)
Also, would not be afraid to change for more O or D, if needed.
#GoHabsGo
#Gally 🚨!
A TO in the NZ & the #Habs take advantage.
d man goes to #Texier on the board. He protects the puck, gets it to #Guhle for the 2v1 down low. Finds #Gally far side & he bangs it in!
#GoHabsGo 1-2 #LetsGoFlyers
So it’s not #Guhle taking the seat. It will be #Matheson instead.
I’m guessing a #Guhle #Reinbacher pairing. The kid will get a chance to show what he’s got.
Top line will not sit. #Anderson & #Danault out. #Veleno & #Gally in.
#GoHabsGo
Are they just playing #Struble w everybody?
Paired w #Xhekaj, #Matheson & now #Guhle. Has he even come off the ice in the 3rd?!?
🤣
#GoHabsGo
Thinking #Guhle might come back. Heard that if this was the playoffs, he would be playing.
The sad part is #Carrier has good offensive instincts.
But we already have 3 good offensive D men. We need #Guhle, #Struble & #Xhekaj for the grit in the playoffs.
So I agree 💯!
I like #Texier on the 2nd line.
No #Gally for 2nd game in a row. #Guhle also sitting - good choice if he’s not 100%.
#Dobes to start.
#GoHabsGo
I would love 🥰 for #Guhle to be back v #GoBolts.
But if he’s not 100%, he shouldn’t play.
It’s more important he’s 100% for the playoffs.
#GoHabsGo
#Ehlers punches #Guhle in the face.
A period where the #GoHabs go have not generated much will get an opportunity on the PP.
#Guhle couldn’t handle the pass & a breakaway ensues.
#Damault is the one again that can’t read the coverage.
Great save by #Dobes.
#GoHabsGo
#Refs call 2 interference penalties there it looks like. Original was going to #Guhle, but then #Gally was hauled down.
4v4
#GoHabsGo
#Guhle 🚨!
FO. #Guhle 1-timer deflected by an #Islander. Finally get some puck luck 🍀.
#Isles 3-4 #GoHabsGo
#Newhook 🚨!
#Kapanen tried to feed #Demidov in the slot. It misses him to #Guhle out high & he quick passes it across the seam for a #Newhook 1-timer.
#Isles 2-2 #GoHabsGo
#Fowler great save on #Schaeffer.
But #Guhle tackles a player.
#GoHabsGo to the PK.
#Suzuki is flying out there. But sometimes keep the goalie honest & shoot the puck. Really handcuffed #Guhle w that pass.
#GoHabsGo
Thought #Dobson’s 3rd was a little shakier, but the 1st 2 period were definitely his best on both sides of the puck.
#Guhle much better game on the 3rd D pairing w #Carrier. Maybe helped #Carrier too.
#GoHabsGo
Ofc after they lose the game #Xhekaj comes out. Like it was his fault. 🤦♂️
& WTH, #Struble w #Hutson?!?
I mean he was decent when he was in, but so was #Xhekaj.
I wonder if #Guhle is dealing with something. Hasn’t been himself. Might explain this pairing.
#GoHabsGo
