Gotta love the hatred between us Habs fans and Sens fans, it's good for the sport and promising for the future since both teams rebuilds are at about the same spot. But ya... Ridley Greig can f**k off

Excellent Captain for the Habs. Good on offense, good on defense, clutch when it counts. Heart of the Habs.

He's not 10th, he's 7th for points. Necas and Sam Reinhart are wingers even though they are listed as center.
Top center in the NHL so far this year.
1-Mackinnon
2-Draisaitl
3-McDavid
4-Eichel
5-Scheifele
6-Crosby
7-Hugues/Suzuki
Should also in there but were injured : Matthews and Barkov

the guy is so underated, even in Montreal. Many people claim he's only a good 2nd line center. He keeps getting better and better and the guys playing with him too. He's a quiet leader and top-notch defensively. No, he'll never wow you with his supreme skills but he does everything well.
Yeah both he and Caufield - both amongst the 2-3 best players available but not taken, helped a bit for sure especially since we had a rough stretch before the break.
You don’t have to answer to a dumb comment by another dumb comment. Arber is good enough for third pairing, he’s mobile and the decision making has improved.
If he was available 20 teams would bid on him. Make the usual shit stirrers quite disciplined against the Habs…

That kinda chirp is hilarious coming from the fan of a franchise that has never even sniffed a cup targeted towards the most decorated team in hockey history.

Suzuki deserves some love for sure. It's too bad this will be a Sens v Habs thread.
So many HF posters thought he was a terrible choice for captain, would never be a #1C, and that his 7.875 x 8 year contract was bad.
Is there even another player his age who has never missed an NHL game? Guy is a stud in every aspect.

To be fair, you can put anyone you like as 1C, it doesn't turn them into a "1C".
The term is usually used to refer to someone who's "in the right chair" as a 1C.

I just want to say thank you forever to the Vegas Golden Knights for Slick Nick Suzuki before this thread is completely derailed & closed for non-Suzuki reasons.

He is 52th most paid forward.
20th most points for forward.
I think he is a good return of investment.

More context: Suzuki is currently 20th overall in points and is younger than everyone ahead of him. Hughes, Stutzle and Raymond are younger than him, with slightly fewer points.
Including Suzuki, 23 forwards are 'on pace' for 82 points. A few players are PPG based on fewer games.

Todd McLellan is an inside agent
...dunno; the old Tomas Plekanec head-snap was a pretty Epic move, even when the stick missed him by a foot...
He was just airing out the turtleneck!
I think that's what impresses me most honestly, steady mentality and composure to go with all the 2-way tools. Takes a strong mentality to be the C in MTL.
I think him and Larkin are neck-and-neck in the 'most overlooked high end two way C' convos. Maybe not for much longer for Suzuki.

It infuriates me as a Sens fan that Montreal got Suzuki and we got Brannstrom. We even traded the better player and still got burned.
Ya apparently Bergevin wanted Cody Glass too but had to "settle" for Suzuki. Crazy how that worked out.

You know who else is injured? Anderson who scored 2 goals in that game. He's been missing practices for therapy days for months.

Not the same at all. Sens rebuild has been over a few years with Yakemchuk the only notable prospect to come. Habs are only in the 3rd year with still Demidov, Hage, Fowler, Reinbacher and a few more to come.
