I snacked all summer for this moment.

This pic was taken after he removed his shoulder pads FYI

No Allen 1goal allowed in the first 3 shots will be a welcome addition by substraction this year.

Hughes gave Allen that big contract because he is a student of the game. No because of his skill. He played role in development of Monty and Primeau

RHP will likely start back in Laval on a reconditioning stint when he's ready.
He will almost certainly be behind a number of kids better suited for the role we asked of him.
I'm afraid he's done as a Montreal Canadien and if he's not we are in trouble with our role players.
Not to mention ABB is probably the guy who has bumped him at the outset.

Yes RHP ( not RNH whoops ) is on the bubble like Barron is. These guys still have an opportunity but they need to make good before they are pushed aside and the team has no choice other than to trade them if possible or put them on waivers. The competition will be very intense over the next couple of years as the waves of youngsters come in.

The littles ducks are all coming back to the barn!

It's like seasonal migration but backward.

It will start to get very interesting after this season.

It is very interesting this season

Montembeault still wearing his ugly candy cane pads. Those are hideous, was hoping he’d have nicer equipment this year.

October hockey, Habs best month of the season <3

People tell me the points earned in October are as good as those earned in March/April. Let's rack 'em up early and often!

But... but... daddy, if I wait this long, half of them will be broken by Christmas!

 

[CharleyHorse]

not to be a Debbie Downer, but we will start strong in Oct , the PP is amazing, then in late nov we come back down to earth with our goaltending and porous blueline. By Dec we are talking about who we draft in the top 5 and with the Florida/Calgary pick.

Will be an exciting year regardless, you will all owe me an apology when Anderson puts in 20 goals!

Last year my to principal goals for the team were to not lead the league in man-game loss to injury and to fix the PP. This year, with the progress in the development of our young players (and old ones too, if you count Armeia's play towards the end of the season) and the addition of Laine, I hope the Habs will be better at sucking less in November - April.

Barron won't be put on waivers. He will make the team and if he becomes superflous will be traded at that point.

Is the full list available somewhere. I was hoping Luke Tuch would also be in the group.

Um
So freaking down lol

Make us proud boys

 

[Maitz]

Anyone knows the schedule of the rookie camp before the rookie showdown sept 14-15th? I will be free on mornings so I can go see the rookies and make a report on what I see

Barron would get something

 

[SwiftyHab]

Another thing to look forward to. Caufield changing to #13 to honour Habs sniper Mike Cammeleri his friendJohnny Gaudreau

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see him waived, if teams knows they can get him for free, they won't offer anything to take him if he is clearly superflous.

Also, I expect him to self-combust at training camp like the last two seasons. That kid needed to start consulting 2+ years ago and he cleary still haven't by the end of last season...

Mr Brightside right here.

Mr Brightside right here.

I'm really not optimist in him getting his shit sorted out, I admit it. Which is sad, because I actually like his skill set and what he brings when he's playing (very rarelly) well. And he started to throw the body a bit more at the end of last season too.

And I would be quite happy if he prove me wrong.
