Pre-Game Talk: Game 1 Preseason Habs vs. Philadelphia (Monday Sept. 23 – 7PM ET) RDS

[HabbyGuy]

PP1 will be awesome during the season, we will all be complaining to replace Matheson by Hutson 10 seconds into the first PP thought.

I like Mike, he's severely underappreciated by many around here, but am so tired of him on the PP. He just ain't good at it. Don't care what his stats say.

tuch is too strong

Yes... Please let our franchise have a modern version of Joel Otto!

 

[Rapala]

I'm not one to pump Roy's tires (as previously documented on this very forum), but the guy is playing a great game tonight. Totally bailing the two anchors he's playing with out, and I would be curious to see him tried with Laine and Dach.

He also looks focused, which suggests he actually slept last night for a change.

Joshua can't afford to have mates who can't make a seven foot pass to ensure he keeps his momentum.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I want Tuch on the 4th line. He's really not far off.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

He's a 50 point player, that was his pace last season. Those are results.

As I said, he's below Laine and Dach, but he's still a useful player. He plays hard, has good vision, good hands, great speed.

I beleive some results will come with him if he keep on working hard like that. Just a matter of time I think. A bit like what we had with Lehkonen. At least in his line he can be more the fast check player and the first one to skate back if there is a turn-over.

Yeah I think he's ready. He has the body, the instincts, the shot. He's older than other prospects and it shows.

I'd trade Dvo with a pick for future consideration and sit Anderson's ass in the stand for the reste of the year, buy his ass out this summer. Play some kids instead. Even Condotta would de better than both. They're a net negative on the ice

If Kapanen continues to have a good camp, he may force HuGo to find a trading partner for Dvo.

God did not protect us from pineapple on pizza, so expectations are pretty low at this point.

Look up the pizza battle between our forum and the Islanders

Tuch-Beck-Gallagher on the 4th.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Imagine guys, I'm super excited about the new top 6 of this team, Demidov and Hage are still not with Habs.

Best time to be a Habs fan!!

Yeah. I do think he's a third liner though. Luckily for us, we have a great russian prospect coming in soon and that should solve the problem

 

[Hacketts]

Yeah I think he's ready. He has the body, the instincts, the shot. He's older than other prospects and it shows.

Give him a year in Laval, let him cook.

He's for real. I have a hard time grasping that, but he is for f***ing real

 

[Rapala]

Tuch and Davidson playing well I could easily see Kapanen with them creating havoc.

 

[morhilane]

Tuch would offer more than Pezzetta already, but as a NCAA season, he's not used to 82 games season and might run out of juice.

 

[Sagikev]

Give him a year in Laval, let him cook.

I doubt he can be much more than a 4th liner tbh. At his age I think I'd rather have him learn the ropes of the NHL. Realistically, he'll play in Laval though. To be clear, I don't disagree with that either

Please forward your credentials lol.
Ya know, just so we know who you are.

 

[Hannibal]

We need what Tuch’s bring right now.

 

[Sorinth]

Yeah. I do think he's a third liner though. Luckily for us, we have a great russian prospect coming in soon and that should solve the problem

He paced for 50+ points mostly playing with two guys that most fans think would put in the AHL if they could (Armia & Gallagher). He's quite easily a top-6 player.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yeah. I do think he's a third liner though. Luckily for us, we have a great russian prospect coming in soon and that should solve the problem

He is a 2nd liner on many teams. Habs will likely be a contender if Newhook is on the 3rd line.

Then imagine having that quality on the third line

Looked strong and fast.
