GDT: Game 14: Montreal Canadiens @ New Jersey Devils, 7th November, 7pm | TSN2

[EveryDay]

MTL is most definitely drafting top 3 this year, you can count on that, so one of Hagens-Martone-Misa-Frondell-Schaefer will be MTL property at the end of the season.

So hopeful that Calgary nets us a pick between 11-14.

With the addition of Demidov-Beck-Roy next year along with this year pick, MTL could get a little bit more skills and hard working players.

Get rid this summer of Dvorak-Armia-Anderson(buyout)-Pezzetta and maybe even trade Newhook?

Caufield
Suzuki
Laine
Slafkovski
Misa
Demidov
Dach
Beck
Gallagher
Evans
Tuch or Roy
UFA- player with toughness!

Troz is going to wind up coaching again

 

[Yasuo]

Matheson still on the first pp feel like how Michel Therrien overplayed David Desharnais

 

[OldCraig71]

Yeah

How come they are all regressing from last season (especilally the second half) ?

They worked hard to overcome the lack of talent and we lost our best center in Monahan which the team didn't recover from. Joel Armia went back to being a waiver wire candidate and Dvorak doesn't want to be in Montreal.

MSL system= Pee Wee

It's the same system the Bolts played when they won back-to-back cups, just so we are on the same page here.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Whatever he did to motivate them last season they aren't responding to it this year.

The Laine injury probably deflated them

 

[HabbyGuy]

The rebuild is going along fine , we obviously wish for them to be good every year but its nice to see them bottom out and pick top 5 again , why some fans are so afraid of tank and want us in the mix with ghule as 1D and Suzuki as 1C blows my mind

I just don't understand all the panic...

 

[Hannibal]

This team is starting to have bad habits.

Buffalo/Ottawa rebuild here we come.

Monahan should had surely been kept. Hughes had already won that trade with Calgary.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Msl is great at finding philosophical quotes but terrible at actually coaching

Philosopher Kinglet!!

Dreger on insider trading says…
Absolutely nothing.

But suggests they’ll make a move if it doesn’t sacrifice future.

 

[HabSgt]

On a brighter note GO ALS! Beat those Maple Leaf wannabe Argos tomorrow.

No word on him lately

Working the phones

It’s gonna be very hard. Als have been very meh in the second half of the season.

 

[OldCraig71]

I don't think Laine makes much of a difference tbh, he isn't the same player as his first 3-4 years in the league. They only had him with the team for part of training camp. I say they miss Monahan much more.

 

[Prettyisland]

I’d actually be happy to see them just play loosey goosey at this point. At least they might score a few

If they played any looser their liver would fall out of their butt

 

[Ieatsht4brkfst]

I think they fell asleep at the wheel while we all were giving them an easy time last couple years, keeping players longer than you have to, locker room getting to comfortable and now they gonna be scrambling all year to try to look like a half decent bottom feeding team when we all know they going straight to a bot 3 pick

 

[sheed36]

What the hell is MSL's system anyway? The players looked confused AF out there so whatever the system currently is it isn't working.

Also MSL seems like a very stubborn person so I doubt he'll change anything since his skull seems about as thick as his legs.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

MTL is most definitely drafting top 3 this year,

This Devils game is gonna bring down the mix-o-meter to the very bottom

 

[teamfirst]

Ghule was way better when he was playing on his strong side

 

[HabbyGuy]

Rather have Hage going forward, Thanks Sean.

No it's not.

Concept is the same but coaching, execution of it is completely different.

Lots of little variations on it by Cooper made it viable vs. what St. Louis has instituted.

I'd argue that Pascal Vincent's version back in Laval is closer to the Tampa system than what we're implementing right now, personnel issues notwithstanding.

 

[1909]

Rather have Hage going forward, Thanks Sean.

So, let’s be very patient…. No Playoffs before 2030

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Feeling like we’re in the mix tonight boys?
