And Lindstrom actually looked ok next to Matheson, who obviously needed a more stay at home ish guy like Gustav for that pair to work better, where as Barron was SO the wrong choice to put next to a Matheson
They always looked good together.
They always looked good together.
I've said it a few weeks ago that they are this team top pair Ds...and then MSL put them with others the game after I wrote that.
I actually consider Allen the 3rd stringer at this point. He started strong but faded quick as usual.
Same. Allen is the one I hope we trade. Have said that from the start. Don't see a future for him here, especially given his age and where the rebuild is.
Agreed on Xhekaj, I've come to hate the Panthers these past few years. They're a greasy bunch, would have been nice to have Jack in the lineup to keep them honest.Primeau in for this one is great to see. Definitely a showcase opportunity after Monty had his last game.
Panthers are looking strong lately. They'll be a good measuring stick for the Habs in development. Such a shame Xhekaj is unavailable for this one
I don't think we were in 1 minute of any game against them last season. They played us with a chip on their shoulder and I could only surmise it had to do with the 9-3 drubbing we laid on them the final game the previous season...
Very valid points. Some possible saving graces- Habs played last Saturday and had 4 days off before playing Columbus while this is Florida's 3rd in 4 nights.The first home game back after a long road trip is usually the hardest and with the game tonight being the 2nd half of a B2B this game against a Florida team, who was in Montreal waiting for the Habs, could get really ugly for Primeau and the Habs.
Which like means a shutout for Primeau. Yoel with GWG again. Book it. I have a feeling.
They didn't get ripped off. It was the right call.
"You're just a bunch of tax-dodging cnuts who would crumble the second you set foot in a real hockey city" would probably cut it.
