Good news we get to see Demi on the top line.
Bad news it's because Cole isn't out there... 😬
Is it getting goalied when he only let's in 4 instead of 10?!
I really like 76/77 together - great cycling. 71 is probably a very good defensive C for good balance on that line.
I hate that people throw around "must win" games so much. Save it for when they really are must win. Now my definition of must win...
1. Elimination games.
2. Games against the Leafs, Sens or Bruins.
So ya... Tonight and tomorrow are back to back must wins simply for the sake of pride. Please!
4-0 seems to be available as a final score!
I'll go with the Captain for first goal.
I put the over / under at 9.5 for the number of times SN zooms in on AM34 on the bench to see his reactions!
I hope they plan accordingly - this could be how the next Grand Canyon is created!
I remember a discussion about the Habs not drafting Cole Hutson because they couldn't afford to have 2 small D like that. Pretty good argument that having 2 of them would be better than not right about now!
Quinn Hughes exits Minny as a UFA and joins NJD on team friendly deal.
AM34 gets traded but won't sign an extension. Exits as a UFA and signs with NJD.
97...
I choose NJD because of the Hughes family but Vegas would be the ideal home for this. Maybe Florida.
NHL's first Super team is built.
Same. The key is getting the new GM asap so they can sell the assets off properly for the right returns. Only get to sell AM once so better get it right! Those nmc's could really screw the deals. If I'm AM I don't want my future team to give away all it's assets to get me or I'm in the same boat!
🎯
They have to retool don't they? Otherwise they need to sell off AM and WN and rebuild a pipeline. Ugly prospect and should cost the GM his job. Again!
Yep - hence the stalemate. Probably wanted Guhle instead of Dach.
File pic as someone is doing a lengthy leading question about...
A. The PP struggles
B. The PK struggles
C. The goalie struggles
D. Why isn't his D structure working
Drinking game once the playoffs start - gotta drink every time they reference the Leafs! Should be zero but they just can't help themselves!
1 referee, not in the way and boards without advertising. Makes me sad about how the game has suffered at the hands of incompetence and greed. ☹️
It's shite, but better get used to it because this is their A team that will likely get assigned to the Habs for the playoffs... Which to me is only slightly better than Galley because we at least get to enjoy how much it pains these guys to talk up the Habs!
Nice add for sure - kind of a Slaf light for the 2nd line.
If the Leafs keep the older core then they have to want current NHL players to make them competitive again next year. Ask was probably something like Anderson, Dach and Newhook. Had to be close to reasonable or it wouldn't have continued.
Actually the fix is to remove the rules/refs and DOPS from the commissioner and turn them over to a committee of former players voted in by current players. Owners being allowed to control rule application and safety through a puppet dictator is a very flawed system.
And my job as fan would be much easier. Watch - cheer - drink!
I think Dobey earned the next start so I'm good with the decision. Deal with the Sens game planning once the Leafs game is done.
D breakdowns for 1-2 goals a game and goalies allowing a soft one and still being there at the end... Wow. If they fixed those we would have no couch coaching to do!
He probably drives to the arena in his gear so he just has to put on his skates when they open the doors!
I can't watch Laval games but I've been told on here that they do play the same D structure in Laval...so he should be familiar with the "tag - you're it" approach to defending the zone!
A lot of our offence comes from our D and that's because they are not the big stay at home guys like we had back then. D structure needs to be suited for the players we have so if you want the offense then you need a system those players can excel in. It isn't what we had and isn't what we have! 🤷
If the players have played zone their entire life then I can see it taking a lot longer than 20 games to re-write their instincts. But some of the players struggling now have 150 games experience with it so we've clearly passed whatever threshold is reasonable.
So subjective! How do you compare 200' C's like Suzuki to 1 dimensional scoring forwards to offensive D men to Defensive D men to goalies?! Rate them in their own categories and discuss those lists but comparing to each other is just click bait for arguments online. We couldn't even agree on Habs!
I have to assume that the D system has been discussed at length between Mgt and coachrs and there is an upside to staying the course? Harder to master but once the team fully understands it they will be harder to play against? Painful to watch now, but I assume we'll be thankful in a couple years?
Right where we want them.
I'm thinking Phil will have money on the board so why not!
4-1 Habs.
