Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 4 days) - last preseason game

[vokiel]

Forget last season, forget preseason, Wednesday night is a clean slate. Night one.

But I think they’re gonna get ****ing spanked

Which means it’ll be a good game.

My prediction is: They will look unprepared and overwhelmed in all first 4 games.

I've seen a lot more bad faith thrown torwards MSL than Barron.

If your answer is Barron, it might have more to do with your own preferences.

But aside all this, yeah sure, we'll pretend a #5-6D on a crappy team gets more hate than the coach.

Barron got blamed every games he played last year and several fans consider he is already a bust. Also he gets heat because Lehkonen won a Stanley Cup immediately after being traded.

Regarding MSL, as much as I like CC Slaf and NS‘s performance last year, I fail to have seen a true defensive system, an effective PP and an effective bottom 6. It s a rebuild so it is fine but if it does not improve this year, he should be accountable for those failures.

This is why I was hoping the Habs wouldn't really improve.

Roger MacQueen, or Porter Martone would be massive gets.

If Calgary is alright and the Habs get 11-15th they can grab another stud prospect.

Use the later picks (2nds, late 1sts) to take homerun swings and if they're kind of working out you got ammo to trade. If they really work out you got some very good, tough decisions to make

Nah CGY will suck we will get FLA pick...
But yes Martone would be a perfect fit for Habs
