Canadiens: Habs look to get something going on this road trip after a very slow start tto the season, losing 5 straight games and only scoring 9 goals over the first 6 games of the season. Shlemko out up to 4 weeks after hand surgery today. Drouin (2g3a) is the only Canadien with more than 1 goal on the season. Montoya expected to get the start in net in the back end of this back to back after losing last night to the Sharks. Pacioretty does not have a point in his last 5 games and is a -5 over that span.

Kings: Brodzinski sent back down to the AHL after going pointless in his 3 games with the Kings, big boy Auger called up for his NHL debut. Doughty is on a 2 game goal streak scoring game winners in the last 2 matches. Cammalleri back in after 2 straight healthy scratches. Quick to get the start in net (.943Sv% 1.74GAA on the season) Stevens still playing around with the bottom 2 pairings hoping to get some depth scoring going instead of relying on the Kopitar line to carry the offense.

Keep it classy. Keep it cozy. And keep the pucksluts postin

No ones watching edition

Fuck up the KANGZ, Canadiens.

i agree

depressed canadiens fan here, can't believe I'm watching this shit

let's do this

Doesn’t help that the NHL Network stuck with a one sided St Louis game.

it's gotta get bad before it can get better, senpai

You Habs fans do love your hockey, and I respect that. I've been a Kings fan for decades and it pissed me off that even when Gretzky was here no-one in L.A. seemed to give a shit about the Kings. 2012 rolls around and the Kings get their first Cup and now I kind of wish the new "fans" would go back to watching basketball and stop casualing it the fuck up out here.

go KONGZ

is it his night?

It's been his night for the past 4 nights. That first goal will come and then the floodgates will open, I suspect.

It's been bad since 1993 pretty much, With the exception of 13/14 when Kreider intentionally ran into Price

What's with the Habs announcer's voice?

Jesus Christ that was a lazy-ass play by the Kings. They're asleep out there in their own zone, no wonder they were scored on.

Sure looked like it was right in the head.

HOW WAS THAT A HIT TO THE HEAD? they really dont want habs to win

shoulder to shoulder

Are you blind leaf?

who paid the refs to keep galchenyuk in the box

probably julien

What a goal

Hope LA cucks lose so VGK keeps the division lead. Would feel horrible having such a shit traffic-clogged place like LA in the #1 spot.

Vegas Golden Knights
5-1-0, 1st in Pacific Division

>bandwaggoning gambling addict dissing a team that has won two Cups in the past 5 years

Are you a California transplant to LV or just pretending to be a Knights fan so you can hate on the Kings?

...

Just hate california, like pretty much everyone around here does.

Even Californians hate California. Pretty much the only people that love it here are those who live in the Bay Area, so focus your ire on the Shorks fans; they deserve it.

>No Aces, Hearts
>No Queen franchise
>No Maiden fair
>no Princesses
>no rooks or bishops

baka shit league desu

#metoo Does anyone not hate california then?

Mexicans

I just said Bay Area fags love it. I also agree with Mexicans loving it, but they don't love the state, they just love being in the U.S. and not living in a shithole with no electricity or indoor plumbing

Better than living in Montreal

Question:

Is a refrigerator still an essential appliance found in most apartments in the LA area?

Never been, but French-Canadians are the worst amirite

Depends on the area. Many places you have to buy your own. Oh, you were implying something about L.A. being poor. You've never been north of the city proper, have you?

>you were implying something
I wasn't actually
You may release your saline elsewhere

Hah, fair enough, I'm used to /hoc/ and gamethreads being full of Kings haters.

no, You are used to binge a new Kang fan
old Kang fan wouldn't carry this much heat for a casual question, lot alone a /hoc/ related one
[heavy sighing between sips of bourbon]

Hey, member when /hoc/ was good, anyone?

No

If you say so, bud.
Also, /hoc/ was never good

When are they coming back?

Jamais, mon ami ;)

They're in the same backlog as the Whalers. Should be soon.

>Into the LA bitch
what did they mean by this? Go kongz

Its in!

...

habs btfo

How are the Habs so bad this year? Kings aren't looking great this game and they've lost Carter...the only thing that was keeping the floodgates closed was Montoya. Explain, Habs fans, if you please

jesus, kempe. what a goal

>habs in current year
lmao

HAT TRICK!

The defense is lackluster at best. Goaltending (price included) has been shitty. Zero offence. Worst captain in the NHL.

ayyy nice one kempe

Nah man it was totes worth it to give the future of our defense so we could keep our good christian captain happy :)

GG Habs

I want to like Patches, but he is just so inconsistent. I miss PK more everyday

GG. I hope we end in the gutter so we get a new GM and a good draft pick

GG kingsbro. I'm gonna go neck myself

Same, but his stats are super inflated by goals in empty nets esp in the season where he scored 39.

gg habs, hope your guys pick it up for you

Yeah, thread wasn't bad, desu. I kinda like it when the East comes out here to shoot some pucks with us
