I like how every tweet now has a Show More link even when the entire tweet is visible.
Very impressive businessing at Twitter HQ!

I agree. Not that I wish the players to have major injuries but beating them on the ice vs. beating them up is often presented as a one-or-the-other, it doesn't have to be that way, I want to cheer for a team that can do both. I also think the way Berube coaches he will push his players to walk the line as well.Honestly, even without the surface level anger that I had when Laine was kneed, I still want to see somebody take some serious runs at Marner/Nylander in Game 1.
I don't mean just finishing their checks, I mean ride the line between charging and a legal hit as much as possible.
I believe it's the right hockey decision.
Xhekaj did nothing wrong
My blood still has not cooled down 1 degree.
If nothing else, I want every Hab player to hunt down Matthews,Marner and Nylander on game one with the intent of ending their season in the same fashion Laine was treated.
Fu$$%;^ Reaves, I don’t want anybody engaging with that fool, go for the talented players.
I’ll take a 5 game suspension of any of our players as a win on day 1.
Eye for an eye.
Have Matthews ,Marner and Nylander go complain to Pare
This was Gorton’s downfall in New York as well. His team got pushed around and was consistently physically embarrassed on the ice. Same is happening here in MTL.The officials f***ed up.
Management has f***ed up by not providing the team with another player with toughness.
He has a golden opportunity. I hope he seizes it.I am not a regular poster, but your statement is not wrong.
I hope it's Kapanen!
He was still in a non contact sweater today so he isn't ready to come back yetSo do we try to get Guhle two games in?
He probably could have played before now if there were no complications.
Blais is available.I wonder if they take a look at Boyd or Bailey if they prefer sending down Heineman/ABB to start the year and letting Kapanen go back to Sweden.
Neither are great options, but they're vet 4th liners with decent (Boyd) or good (Bailey) size. Better fits than ABB if they want a bigger bottom 6.
Going by what Gorton said on the Sick Podcat today, Kapanen is probably staying unless he looks absolute terrible in the last 2 pre-season games. He was the first name Gorton had in mind when asked who can replace Laine in the line-up.I wonder if they take a look at Boyd or Bailey if they prefer sending down Heineman/ABB to start the year and letting Kapanen go back to Sweden.

Amusingly, Gorton said nothing about Anderson playing on the 2nd line. It was Kapanen, Roy, Armia and Gallagher... Not sure MSL will get the memo thought.Kapanen as 2nd line winger I'll take over Anderson, that's for sure. He can play wing. Kapanen at least gives us options especially when Dvorak gets his usual season ending injury.

I’ll take Kap over Roy on the second line all day long.Kapanen as 2nd line winger I'll take over Anderson, that's for sure. He can play wing. Kapanen at least gives us options especially when Dvorak gets his usual season ending injury.
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Kapanen-Dach-Newhook
Roy-Dvorak-Anderson
Armia-Evans-Gallagher
Pezzetta
Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Struble-Mailloux
Matheson
Primeau
Mailloux could be sent to Laval, but I don't see Barron as a full-time player. I think Struble, Barron & Mailloux will probably rotate.

I can't legally spell out what I want to see happen on game 1 without getting infracted for it.
I really want us to dress Pezzetta on game 1. Dude is completely unhinged and this is pretty much all there is to it.View attachment 911221
What is the catch? Thought he was pretty well established as a NHL player at this point.Blais is available.
Armia & Gallagher both scored more goals than Anderson last year. Roy & Kapanen are far more talented. At this point, Anderson is a 4th liner. I expect him to start on 3rd with Dvorak, though.
I wouldn't mind seeing Roy & Kapanen with Dach, and put the Armia-Newhook-Gallagher line back together as the 3rd line.
That leaves: Evans-Dvorak-Anderson as the 4th line.
