One of the best passes I’ve ever seen, there’s a better angle on Spittin chiclets Instagram, unbelievable.

He's gonna be so good.

 

[Senscore]

He could be Rundblad good

Debrusk walking is not good. Lindholm could be bad. Overall the roster looks great imo. That d squad is crazy big. Will be interested to see how they do this year.

They've built a team from the net and D out so most of their games are low scoring affairs as they are hard to score against. But they don't have a lot of offensive players besides Pastranak/Marchand. Shut those 2 down and they're beatable. The only way I see them taking a step back is if it takes awhile to sign Swayman to a new contract.

According to what I've read, Korpi had laser surgery done in the off-season and he has a new helmet where I would think he didn't repeat the sightline issue he had with last season's mask. With those improvements + playing behind a solid defense + being coached by one of the best goalie coaches in the league, I expect he will do a lot better in Boston. He'll also be the backup, not the starter. I don't think we can count on his being the tire fire there that he was here.

 

[LiseL]

Yeah but you can't be paying your backup goalie 7-8 million, which is what Ullmark is gonna make once he hits UFA.

They needed that $2 million saving to be able to pay Swayman and replace DeBrusk. If they had kept Ullmark, they wouldn't have been able to make the moves they did in the off-season. Even with their current $8.6 million in cap space, they still haven't signed Swayman. Wonder what his ask is. No one knows if the issue is money or term or a combination of both. Needless to say, may Bruins fans are nervous.

Also, didn't Ullmark say he wanted to be a starter? I think he wasn't happy that they didn't continue playing the tandem in the playoffs.

Laser surgery. Ha. That's about the only thing that could explain korpisalo's year. He couldn't see

So many Habs fans on this board

 

[Ouroboros]

Filip Nordberg could also make that pass, he just chooses to play a simpler game.

True, in the sense that being an AHL player is simpler than being an NHL one.

Yeah and it's sickening to be honest. The way they are drooling all over Lane Hutson because he made a pass during practice Oh yeah he's the next Cale Makar I wanna puke!!

Talking about highlights of other teams players in “Around the NHL” tread. Strange.

 

[Tuna99]

ya, Yzerman acquired Kucherov. But it was kind of lucky was my point. 58th overall. The rest of the guys you mentioned are good players. Kucherov is the HoF player. Not many HoF players come form 58th overall. Or from the 2nd round like Bergeron did

Shane Pinto?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

That pass was nice, but would you really rather have that than Gabriel Eliasson punching someone in the face?

 

[Masked]

Filip Nordberg could also make that pass, he just chooses to play a simpler game.

Or he needs to find a league to play in first.

 

[Xspyrit]

Oh and Peterka already has a hat trick in the first pre season game, gonna have a huge season

I tried to like Jarventie as much as I could and still do but damn, that one hurts too.

I was sarcastic of course, having weirdly been accused of being a Habs fan because they have prospects worthy of discussion, just like many other teams before.

I see the Habs and the Sabres as our future main competition within the division (assuming Panthers, Bruins, Bolts and Leafs don't take too much time to decline)

I’m not sure you are a Habs fan but your irrational fear of them is weird. They have a multitude of decent prospects but their top end talent is meh.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

If Galchenyuk ever puts it together for the Canadiens, we're screwed.
