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

[OnTheRun]

Laine look like a deer in the headlights "Why the hell there's so many mics in my face for game 1 of preseason" kind of face.

 

[EveryDay]

Guys guys!! We still have Reinbacher-Struble-Beck-F.Xhekaj and Mesar to watch tomorrow!!

That's even without Fowler, Demigod, Hage and Thorpe!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Do you think people will notice if we sent Dvo to the SHL instead of Kapanen

He might not even notice.

 

[OnTheRun]

Apparently Kapanen contract only allows him to either play in the NHL or Finland, IIRC. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct (not his contract but the SHL/NHL transfer agreement), when I said keeping him with the team, I meant the Habs.

Hard to believe how good we looked for game one and without our best line excited for this season for the first time in maybe a decade.

Same, I won’t be cheering for losses this year that’s for sure. Enough of that lol.

Pretty sure we won’t be bottom of the barrel bad anyway, the kids look good and more are coming soon including our best prospect.

Feels good!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

When there is expansion Hughes can probably find a way to trade players he is going to lose for draft picks and/or use picks to get a team to claim a player he is willing to lose.

everyone needs to calm the f*** down; there's no expansion for 4-5 years!

Lots of good things to be excited about in this game. Hutson is unbelievable. Laine was dangerous. Kapanen showing he can steal a bottom 6 spot. But the most exciting thing for me was seeing Dach. I will say it now, the Habs success this season hinges on Dach staying healthy. I think he can be a dominant center if healthy. He has all the offensive and physical tools.

Not a whole lot of negatives tonight. I mean even the players that some will say didn't shine as much, I mean, they were not going to have a spot in Montreal anyway. Engstrom, Mailloux...that's Laval bound. And that's fine. Hutson...just wow. What a player. Loved Laine. I think that Newhook is still to be determined. Insane Kapanen line. Even the 4th was ok, loved seeing Tuch score.

One guy I want out....Dvorak. What's the best..now or later? Let's go now. Call Columbus. For a pick. Or ask for Dolzhenkov or Malatesta....anything....

Malatesta for Dvorak? Tell me, what did Columbus do to you? Did Waddell eat your dinner or what?
James is a great player, tough, aggressive, fast. Such a dynamo.

It shows that we are taking the proper approach dealing with our personnel in camp.
I'm ecstatic we aren't f***ing around with scrap like the past two editions.
There was always a limited number of players who we should be looking closely at.
Not to mention finding chemistry with two top lines is primordial.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Hutson's the only guy in the system that is on another planet with his skills. The other is Demidov. Insanity will ensue in the next couple of years.

Agree i was at both the rookie games at the bell center and even if he didnt put a ton of points u could tell hes simply on another level same thing tonight he will create tons of chances for our forwards theres no AHL for him he deserves to start the year with the Habs

Only Hab fans!

I think there's no question that Kapanen will be an NHL regular. Just a question of how soon. Wild that he basically was drafted at the same spot as Kidney.

The 2021 draft coming in HOT.

He's a tough mfer in the corners, not shy of roughing it up. I thought he would've been on eof those soft, big tall skilled guys when we traded for him at first lol that's such a huge plus to his game

 

[FLHabs]

2 expansion drafts in 4 or 5 years could really f*** this team out of really good players.

I also thought he was a major cream puff. The guy is way tougher than I thought.

[Catanddogguitarrr]

We have to give credit to Roy. Making a perfect pass so Anderson could score. That is the reference for a good pass, no?

Mailloux, Kappanen , Roy

Three potential regulars is one hell of a coup.
