GDT: Game 11: Montreal Canadiens vs St. Louis Blues 11/4/23 7:00pm EST: SN, City, TVAS

[Lafleurs Guy]

Slaf looks resurrected away from black hole Anderson (who should have been traded at high value last deadline).

My guess is that the offers weren’t high enough.

And now he’s decided to really suck.

 

[Paddy17]

CC has been Uber consistent since MSL took over. This is the first time he’s paced for less than 40 goals.

Again though what masters at this stage in the season is if he’s generating chances. I’d say he is. However, I think he needs to average at least four shots a game to ensure success. He’s a little light there.

Not easy when Suzuki has been bad more often than good.

 

[OldCraig71]

Wasn't he a big man who was a creampuff ?

I remember I looked him up and saw he was like 6'6 and couldn't understand why he and the Habs got bullied with such a big dude and then I learned you also need to know how to fight and not just be big

He was a decent defenseman actually but more in the mold of Hal Gill instead of Arber Xhekaj.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Some good and some bad during that period. @Habs10Habs my prediction didn't come through thanks to the useless plug named Dvorak.

lol sorry brother. I had my fingers crossed hoping it would happen.

 

[Jabba11]

Slaf is playing well tonight, very happy to see that! Finally some quality ice time and linemates! Please keep him on the 1st line going forward

 

[FLHabs]

I like what I'm seeing from Slaf on the top line. Needs to show a lot more, but let see how he looks after a few games and practices.

I think he bought himself a some more rope before the AHL talks start rumbling again.

 

[Gravity]

My guess is that the offers weren’t high enough.

And now he’s decided to really suck.

Rumored Hughes turned down 1st+ for him.

 

[Rapala]

Our overall lack of execution is killing us. How many clean zone entries have we had? Seriously it's not acceptable at this level.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He needs a couple to get back to 40 track

Agreed. And he needs to get more shots. He creates great chances and has been a bit snakebit but it’s a numbers game. The more shots you have the more goals you’ll get.

 

[sheed36]

Matheson is such a great skater but far too often he tries to do far too much out there and makes some rather dumb bonehead risky plays.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He was a decent defenseman actually but more in the mold of Hal Gill instead of Arber Xhekaj.

Yeah, like a solid number 6, but pretty damn soft, no ?

 

[OldCraig71]

lol sorry brother. I had my fingers crossed hoping it would happen.

Maybe it happens in the third, my crystal ball has some Newfie fog in it lol.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Buch should not be kicking at the puck like that. This isn't soccer.

It was funny seeing Suzuki laugh at him.

 

[Redux91]

At least the Super Leafs ain't all that once again lmao

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Sens being 15th out of 16 teams in East to begin season is not something I expected. Greatest top 9 in NHL, and their super D seems to be failing again.

Currently being shellacked 4-1 by TB.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Maybe it happens in the third, my crystal ball has some Newfie fog in it lol.

lol I'm okay with that.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not easy when Suzuki has been bad more often than good.

My worry about them together is that they don’t generate enough sustained pressure in the offensive zone. Part of the problem has been that they don’t have a good winger to work with. It’s just those two with say… Anderson. Hopefully Slaf can help.

 

[McGees]

Elliotte:
Leafs needed a closed door meeting about not being bi***es…back to you Ron

 

[donghabs98]

Matheson is such a great skater but far too often he tries to do far too much out there and makes some rather dumb bonehead risky plays.

He needs to simplify his game. He's trying to do too much and the split second hesitation ends up hurting us.

 

[Rapala]

Not easy when Suzuki has been bad more often than good.

Caufield can't blame Suzuki for his bad play.

 

[Redux91]

Harris needs to sit a few games.

Injuries
AND it's Matheson needs to sit more first..

 

[Habs10Habs]

Matheson is such a great skater but far too often he tries to do far too much out there and makes some rather dumb bonehead risky plays.

Agreed, I wish we could hook him up to an zapper. When he has the puck too long, we can press the button.

 

[OldCraig71]

Yeah, like a solid number 6, but pretty damn soft, no ?

He was a gentle giant that came over at age 25, and maybe would have had more of an edge if he started his career in North America.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Turns out Sean Monahan is still an actual hockey player when he’s healthy. Who knew. What a year for him so far.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Rumored Hughes turned down 1st+ for him.

I highly doubt that.
