GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ Canadiens - 7:30 - SNET / RDS

[deandebean]

Desharnais needs to utilize his shot more. Unreal.

TBH, that's key for him. His shot is pretty good. But he seldom uses it. And then he becomes a pass-only dude. And he becomes predictable. Plus, he's small, and very ineffective defensively.

Gassssston 'y ress une chose' Therrien has it right in his case: the hobbit needs to shoot more.

 

[Rapala]

Seriously. He's been great tonight.

A couple of giveaways and a dumb penalty but he is sooo much better than those lugs we saw.

 

[sampollock]

Weber blast is due tonight. Lol

 

[FerrisRox]

Vegas would be able to negotiate with Radulov and sign him before July 1st. There's no reason not to sign Radulov now.

It's not like we have a plethora of forwards we want to protect. There's Galchenyuk, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Danault, Byron... and that's about it.

So what?

Vegas can talk to any unrestricted free agents they want. If Radulov wants to return, that will make no difference at all.

If he wants to come back, and he knows what deal is waiting for him, who cares about a small window when Vegas can speak with him?

It's in his best interest and the teams best interest to wait til after the break so the team he re-signs with is as strong as it can be. There's no reason whatsoever to sign him and force yourself to protect him.

Liking Nesterov

 

[DangerDave]

Admittedly, I haven't really been paying close attention to Nesterov but he's looked pretty solid so far. A huge improvement anyways

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I don't think you can call it a "pick off" when they pass it tape to tape to you.

Well, at least, he was in position for it. But he's had some good shifts this period.

Buffalo is playing like crap though.

 

[HTTP 400]

Seriously, they look like the Habs of the start of the season. The 4-day stop (Sun and beach, I'm guessing for most of them) helped. They had looked tired before this.

They look like the Habs with Markov. The General is back.

Smart plays , nothing fancy . Good game for him for the moment.

Very mobile with Markov it's a good combo.

 

[DangerDave]

This third line has been good tonight. So close to #2 for DD

Boys came to play tonight, and were almost at full strength

its clear the boys understand, its passed the all star break, its final stretch before the playoffs, its go time, time to show the league what were about

and if we can somehow upgrade plekanecs spot on the roster and replace with a Duchene, were contenders

His shot is accurate but it's horribly underpowered. Very rare players get as much time and space as he did on that goal. Lehner should've had that.

 

[Rapala]

Rasmus is a beast...

 

[Rockinron]

The General is back and Nesterov is looking good too..

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I don't know if he's good, but i'm sure he's better than Barbie and Ken.

Agree to disagree then. I think the sooner you could get him under contract for the future the better.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

dat Radulov backhand is crazy

 

[Team_Spirit]

Rads with the backhand sauce this man is amazing

 

[sampollock]

Nikita is fast

 

[DXStriker]

Liking Nestorov

 

[PaulD]

DD turned ya off.

Markov is a good addition

The general as reliable as always.

Yes. 5th season in a row that DD is on powerplay.

Watching the habs is like watching the same movie over and over and over again.

Seen it . Know how it ends.

 

[Belial]

Damn this is fun to watch!

 

[Asamu]

Kane is taking his revenge on Emelin. I remember in 2016 that he tried to outspeed Emelin in a 1on1 and dismantled himself on the board when he lost his balance. Careful Emelin !

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Nestea was not able to get a better shot.
