Gainey said that you are two goals away from winning when you lose by one.

Never said that but Hutson without a doubt will get heavy PP and 3-on-3 TOISo in other words thinking that Hutson will be a top 5-10 dman in the league from the get-go. No pressure kid.
This is the same guy last season who kept repeating we would finish between 11th and 17th. He's rarely on the mark.So in other words thinking that Hutson will be a top 5-10 dman in the league from the get-go. No pressure kid.
Or 1G away to take it to 3-on-3 and allow their game changer to then takeover (Hutson)Gainey said that you are two goals away from winning when you lose by one.
Going from bottom 5 to playoff mix because of one player means that the player should be one of the best at their position in the league. You don't make that jump when the player is simply solid.Never said that but Hutson without a doubt will get heavy PP and 3-on-3 TOI
It’s more a reflection of team strategy & depth at play. 2007-2008 team couldn’t score 5-on-5 but was dominant on PP despite not having much in the way of elite or secondary scoring finishing 1OA in Eastern Conf…Going from bottom 5 to playoff mix because of one player means that the player should be one of the best at their position in the league.

They stop hemorraging goals on the special units! PK, PP and defending 6v5. Habs 5v5 differential was -4 last year, but their total differential was -53.What has changed since last year to "turn the tide on half the losses"? The only difference is Dach instead of Monahan, and Hutson in the lineup. It seems like a MB strategy to just pray for luck.
Depth? What depth? Have you seen the lines after the top line? I don’t even know why you think it’s a slam dunk guarantee that the PP will be elite when we just went 0-30.It’s more a reflection of team strategy & depth at play. 2007-2008 team couldn’t score 5-on-5 but was dominant on PP despite not having much in the way of elite or secondary scoring finishing 1OA in Eastern Conf…
IF Laine actually does return to the lineup healthy in 3-4 months, I find it hard to believe Habs won’t be battling for a playoff spot
So ignoring the fact that our special teams was worse this preseason than last year, what makes you confident that we will go from bottom of the league to even above average while everything else remains the same?They stop hemorraging goals on the special units!

I like you guys but you're crazy.
8th-12th draft pick incoming (and that is being generous)
playoff hopes are DED.
He sucks but he would certainly help the "toughness" and take some pressure off Xhekaj which they said they wanted to doWould have taken a chance with Imama as 13th forward.

I mean Dach and Hutson will contribute something but at the end of the day we are still a 1 line team.I’m go with bottom 5
I respect it - keep the dream alive. There are always wild seasons where teams surprise everyone
The roster looks really poor. Bottom five.
At some point, the fans will demand more. Seeing Gallagher and Dvorak in the lineup again is very disheartening.
Sweet Jesus those pp lines are embarrassing
Especially PP2. Outside Hutson, it is darn awful. I would had given a chance too to Guhle and Xhekaj, even Barron on PP.Sweet Jesus those pp lines are embarrassing
A lesson for Joshua Roy, hopefully.
Which is why IMO there will be 1PP unit that’s put out there taking 70-80% of TOI and Hutson will inevitably end up being the QB w Matheson coming in for last 20-30% as other point optionEspecially PP2. Outside Hutson, it is darn awful. I would had given a chance too to Guhle and Xhekaj, even Barron on PP.
When Mailloux is your most played PKer by ~4 minutes, I'm not sure you can compare the two pre-seasons (it was Savard and Guhle who lead the pre-season PK TOI last year). But 6 GA in both pre-seasons (and 4 of that in a single game this year), not actually worst.So ignoring the fact that our special teams was worse this preseason than last year, what makes you confident that we will go from bottom of the league to even above average while everything else remains the same?
