Pre-Game Talk: Carolina @ Montreal Feb 25 7:00pm ET

[Goalfield13]

So Evans to 2C, Beck in? Maybe Beck gets a few shifts with Laine

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Laine-Beck-Newhook
Heineman-Evans-Armia
Gallagher-Dvorak-Anderson

This lineup is an improvement.

I could be wrong but my suggestion:

Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovský
Laine - Dvorak - Gallagher (Dvorak and Gallagher have good positional play, Gallagher is a warrior, Dvorak has a great FO)
Newhook - Beck - Anderson (three fast, aggressive players)
Heineman - Evans - Armia

I would be interesting to see if Laine could benefit from playing with Suzuki for a few games.

Another team the Habs can't beat for years on in.

At least, Howdy Doody left.

I would throw beck to the wolves and have him replace dach .

Time to show Rantanen why he should sign here this summer

I think it is not good idea. Slafkovský is ideal to Caufield and Suzuki. They need a similar player, not a player with style like Laine.

Carolina has been kind of crappy on the road this year. They're below .500 (12-14-3). They're also only 5-4-1 in last 10.

Rantanen has 3 points for them since coming over from Colorado (in 7 games). He hasn't exactly helped them raise their game.

Anyways, they've got some great drama going on over there with the whole will he sign or won't he sign with Rantanen.

Trade Deadline is 11 days away.

I guess we'll see what happens.

I don't get how Dach got injured. He was off for 2 weeks. It's such a bummer what happened to him, he looked so damn good before that knee got blown out.

 

[JianYang]

Based on the way people are talking here, it sounds like dach is out long term rather than day-to-day?

Has anything actually been said?

Seems he is only productive playing with MacKinnon...beware

For me It's the language they used "further evaluation"
They make it sound like they aren't happy with the initial evaluation?

Like is he being shut down so they can determine what the extent of the damage is.
I would be happier if it was reported as a LBI not related to his knee or something like that.
