I bet our pathetic PP can not beat our low pressure PK.
This is all wrong.
On the PP we pass ad nauseam around the perimeter while being very static, we don't set up one timers and we have an absurdly bad transition game.
On the PK we are very passive most of the time.
I miss 2 weeks ago when we were worried about having too many forwards

Wak Prescott the 60M/yr scam artist, here we gooo!
That 2nd line won't last, Monahan is by far the best option to help Slaf/Newhook develop
Top 6 should be:
Caufield-Suzuki-RHP
Newhook-Monahan-Slaf (Newhook and Monahan can share C duties)
Anderson on the 3rd with Dvorak when he returns and Ylonen. Gallagher where he belongs on the 4th with Evans/Pearson. Throw Roy in there at some point but he's fine in Laval for now, no need to rush him.

Monahan is very much the same level as long as his plaster holds.
Dach's injury has totally sucked the life out of this season for me, and we're only two games in.
We'll see how tomorrow goes.

I still have some irons in the fire with Ghule Xhekaj and Slaf. Hopefully they can all remain healthy and continue progressing.
exactly we'll have some other young players to distract us. Let's hope for an otherwise healthy season.
RHP being added to the top line is the kind of thing we'd see in the past from the habs, so I'm hesitant to think of that as a long term combo. But even with Dach out that line won't be the only scoring threat, so it will be interesting to watch it as a band-aid solution. RHP can put the puck in the net, and he'll be a good digger for that line.
Newhook and Slaf were both having success with Dach, but also one another. Their chemistry without Dach will be something to focus in on like the NHL on Bedard.
The bottom six hasn't been horrible through two games, if pezzetta is coming in I expect him to play with energy and we'll probably get a good jump from him being added.

Man if we go through yet another year of this somethings gotta give. Four years in a row of absolute ridiculous injuries is not coincidence.
Same. But as long as Caufield is chasing 50, my interest will be safe.

Not terribly enthusiastic if they were to slot Newhook at center now. Still remember these AVS fans comments on the day we acquired him:
Best of luck to Newy with you guys. Didn’t work out in Colorado. They tried him at Centre and it didn’t click. Maybe it was too much expectations early in his career to do so for a contending team. Hopefully he improves in Montreal and it’s a win-win for both teams.
Also:
As an FYI…I doubt Newhook will be a top six centre. He has real potential to be a good top six winger, though. The Avs tried to force him at centre this last year with Kadri having departed and it just didn’t work at all.
If they were to use him at center, I’d hope it would happen progressively, like they did with Dach last season. Now that they’re in a long term injury situation, I wonder how they’ll choose to deploy him.

Newhook's looked good at center (arguably better than at wing) during his short trial here. I wouldn't put much weight into what Avs fans think, they also said that he's not that fast when it's clear nonsense.

There are holes in Newhook’s game that one can complain about, but speed is not one of them. But compared to MacKinnon, I suppose most players don’t look fast.

We're first in the division if we get that dub tn. Lmao. Would love to see it.
And yet we've certainly had worse. Newie didn't look out of place at center when he played there pre season. I put zero credence on anything that comes out of the mouths of Avs fans. They are totally spoiled and unrealistic when assessing Newhook. It's like they expect a raw rookie to come in and be better than Kadri was.
His numbers are were very good for what his role was.
