Post-Game Talk: Dallas does MTL in a close one!

[SlafySZN]

Pretty dumb he hasn't been good and yo-yoing him won't help

They should've called Andersson up instead in my opinion but oh well.

Andersson has to go thru waivers.

 

[Tyson]

Andersson has to go thru waivers.

I don't think so since he cleared when he was sent down after training camp. I could be wrong though.

 

[salbutera]

Why are you defending him? Why can't he be criticized?

Who’s saying he can’t be criticized? Only trying to understand the issue

Matheson now 11th in pts amongst Dman

 

[Tyson]

Matheson now 11th in pts amongst Dman

On his way to a 60 point season

 

[Max2]

Not a fan of afternoon games and definitely not a fan of the Dallas ShitStars. They got slapped around by The Leafs last game and looked weak again today. This game was there for the taking and the lads played ok all things considered.

 

[BLONG7]

Decent 1st and 3rd periods........................beyond awful in the 2nd.
The 2nd is their worst period all year, they have NO answer for the long change.
2 goals in 24 seconds.......brutal.

Matheson now 11th in pts amongst Dman

I do think we are a bit too harsh on him but his stats don't relly reflect his play

 

[Ezpz]

Nick quickly approaching point-per-game status. Gonna take out some receipts on all the haters. I get crapping on every other player for being crap but Nick Suzuki has visually and statistically been our best player for three years. He's become more underrated and Tomas Plekanec somehow.

 

[WeThreeKings]

11 pts in liiga

Kazakhstan

I believe you are correct. Andersson would only have to clear waivers again, if he were to play 10 games with the Habs or stay 30 days at the NHL level, for every call-up. If he were returned within those limits, he would remain waiver exempt.

 

[vokiel]

MSL being asked how to construct a good 2nd line to take the pressure off of the first line.

Simple: go with the young guys. We know the vets have nothing, nada.

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Newhook - Gignac - Ylonen

I like

Dach - Suzuki - Caufield
Slaf - Zegras - Tuch

I watched Koivu get treated the same way by a portion of our fan base for years. Instead of sitting back and watching a talented player. They complained that he wasn't a super star. Not bothering to look with whom he played with or how bad the team really was.

Newhook. On the ice. With one minute left. When he had very obviously and understandably not much fuel left in the tank. Against a heavier team.

who are you giving up for Zegras?

 

[vokiel]

Hutson or Mailloux, they gave Drysdale for Gauthier, so it seems like a good base.

 

[Cournoyer12]

With credit to @Koivu11 , this is the most badass, chadest gif of Chadkovsky ever and deserves a repost.

Dame breaker!!!!!!

Joel Armia tank commander, injuring his own linemate.

100%. AND pleks best season was 70 points. Nick is on pace for almost 80 points. The last hab C to come even close to that was Koivu in 2006-7. (75)
Nick is the shit

the koivu stat is both incredible and pathetic

On his way to a 60 point season

Too bad he can’t defend worth shit.

 

[Tyson]

Too bad he can’t defend worth shit.

I know he makes alot of mistakes but his good play outweighs the bad in a huge way. Habs fleeced Pittsburgh.

 

[FLHabs]

Marty doesn't like using Suzuki on the PK if he doesn't have to. He will do it when we are down a goal which isn't dumb.
I wish Suzuki was on the end of one of those glorious opportunities Armia and Matheson had. I also like the new dimension Gignac brings with his speed.
I'd use Suzuki with him for the give and go opportunities similar to what Armia missed on. I'm really looking forward to seeing Gignac in OT.

Yea, like others have said, Gignac might end up being the new Byron. He already shown some flashes of skill in the past 2 games and isn't a liability. I'm definitely rooting for him

 

[dinodebino]

Several posters asked about him in the GDT. He's on Twitter.

What is his handle?
