Add Savard to trade deadline list, kids are doing fine without him.
The list is long, even 4-5 bodies outta here would be great.

Savard - yes
Edmundson - possible (not if other 2 vets go)
Wideman - Yes
Drouin-Yes (Good luck getting a bag of broken sticks though)
Dadanov - Yes, whatever you can get.
Dvorak- Yes, Beck can take his spot next year.
Hoffman - See Dadanov
Armia - PLEASE, $3.1 AAV for two MORE years! GOOD LUCK!
Gallagher - Hughes a miracle worker if he can unload that contract.
Anderson - ZERO HOCKEY iQ; YES For a 1st
Monahan - No resign him unless the offer is ridiculous.

Slaf please learn.

 

[donghabs98]

I remember when there was a little HF hype on Frankie Corrado. Didnt think he would be retired and on TSN by now.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It was a far fetched penalty. The hit was clean and was barely late. Its just Slaf not looking up once again.


It happens too much with Slaf at this point. 5 times in 20 games? Come on, I have scrambled eggs for brains and I really wouldve liked someone to make the correct choices for me when I was 15-18 playing sports.

The Schenn hit wasn't a high hit though. It was straight to the chest. I imagine Slafkovsky was winded.

He's had 2 high ones: Brown, which he scored on, and was cheap, and the elbow by Dickinson which was a dirty play.

The Minnesota hit, he let up on, as he was at the end of shift, was near the bench & was tired. It was very much a "oh thank god, I can change" then gets hit.

That's 4?

 

[Rapala]

I'm against it at this point. I hated when we left Suzuki to the wolves after we lost Danault.

 

[Goldenhands]

Why play Slaf in a 4-0 game guys

No doubt that his game should be over. They should have a good chat with him and make sure he understands that he has to do a better job at protecting himself. You dont play the Russian roulette with your 1st OV, kid is only 18 and might end up with a severe concussion.

 

[Zorro]

Guhle is Gold
2 years from now, he will be a top d man in league

along with Hutson

 

[Runner77]

Boudreau looks like he's got a permanent sunburn

He's been spending time at the Gene Principe Tanning Salon.

 

[The Real Timo]

Finally caught up to you folks. Wow. What a period after a terrible start. Monty ma man!!!

And… I hate to say it, but I don’t think Slaf is going to have a long career. Maybe it’s too soon for him. But f*** man. He is getting rocked every second game.

 

[donghabs98]

Full credit to Monty, he really put in the work this offseason and it shows. He really cleaned up his positioning in net. He seems ready for the first and second attempt.

When you're no. 1 D can't actually play defence, you got a problem. When was the last time Canucks even drafted in the top 3, the Sedin twins? Like Toronto, they prematurely stopped the rebuild. But unlike Toronto, they didn't get a Matthews and then a Tavares in FA

Not top-3 but Pettersson was 5OA in 2017

 

[OldCraig71]

Juraj just admiring his pass. He’ll learn not to follow the puck with his entire head after making a play. The speed of the NHL is jarring.

He won't be in the league long if he continues leaving himself open for that type of hit. It doesn't matter that he's big, there are plenty of guys in this league that can run him over.

Four or five theyre all lack of awarness to me. Not ready.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Yeah, i know, still, one cannot 'not like' that guy. What a move from Hugues but it's on Monahan for having prepared well this summer and performing like that in season. What a player!

I hope we really bleed whoever wants him for a cup run, that's not Lehkonen here... (although i loved Lehky)

Does Colorado win the cup without Lehkonen? I'm not sure. Colorado doesn't win cups without our help.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Caufield goal
Suzuki goal and assist
Harris 2 assists
Guhle assist

Monahan goal to continue driving his value up.

The people you want producing produced to drive the team's offence.

Don't forget the goalie that makes the saves.

 

[admiralcadillac]

It is a concern right now for sure. He played in the Liiga or Finnish junior leagues since he was 16. There simply isn't as violent hitting there, and if it does happen, it's not as fast. It's the speed & weight of some of the hits. He's not prepared for it.

I also think he's not NHL ready. I thought he should spend a year in the AHL. I said pre-draft, post-draft and since. I feel he needed some time to adjust to NA hockey. Colorado did it for Rantanen. There's hitting in AHL, but it's at a slower speed. Problem is there's zero protection down there, so it's not an option as long as they refuse to get a tough guy.

Hopefully, Slafkovsky is learning from these hits & they're talking to him about it.

The AHL does not have hits at a slower speed. Sorry. And there’s more hitting.

[Paddy17]

Since we're going to win, might as well run up the score to double digits.

Tessa deserves better.

 

[McGees]

Jeez I’ve never heard of these goalies…I’m pretty sure these are made up names

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Montembault is looking more and more like a starting goalie, he moves well, big big improvements

 

[Runner77]

My pants are down

Again?

This is the Habs forum Auston.

What's this forum turning into?

 

[Kimota]

Spencer Martin....

 

[LV426]

Where was the goals in Edmonton?

They didn't get enough powerplays.

Yeah, Sedins 1999. 2nd & 3rd.

Pettersson was a 5th, as was Juolevi (yikes), and Hughes 7th.
