I’ll laugh and do as if i didn’t see this comment.

Cool. Good for you. Enjoy. No need to respond with meaningless answers like this.

 

[Kennerback]

Youngsters have been taking high hits all yr

Slaf has had about 4, Guhle has taken a few

Wish MTL took Reaves just for this type of crap

The players actually intended to hit Slaf. Suzuki‘s intention was somewhere between not noticing Kadri and getting out of the way. “Very lucky Suzuki didn’t get a 5 and a game…”

I don't think he's gonna get another contract from us.

I mean that's your opinion. My opinion is that at 25, Habs might get a bargain for a player would can at that point maybe consistently put up 70ish pt seasons

 

[JianYang]

Is this a sin to say that MSL may be overrated as a coach ?

The use of Hoffman at the point ultimately caused CC a concussion. It's not like it's the first time he causes a turnover at the blue line. Eventually you have to f***ing get it.
Armia on the 5 on 3 instead of Slaf or even Anderson is just moronic.

It's not a sin. It's just an indication that he's not a shiny new toy anymore.

Every single coach is proclaimed an idiot by this message board eventually. It's as certain as death and taxes.

 

[HabSgt]

This team is still not good, no need to get bent out of shape over it. We all knew it would be bad this season, but they started better than expectations. Now games are gonna get harder. We are still much improved from last year but will get a good pick (picks? thanks Panthers) so no worries.

That said, Armia gonna tie the game & Hoffman gonna score the game winner

 

[The Great Weal]

100% a product of Suzuki and CC imo.

I don't really mind him, but I'm hoping we get some better players than him up front. PLD and one of Bedard/Fantilli/Carlsson/Michkov hopefully. Then you got Slaf and surely one of our current forward prospects or FLA's 1st can fill out that other top 6 spot. Dream is to trade Dach for a good top 4 RHD.

Cool. Good for you. Enjoy. No need to respond with meaningless answers like this.

Yeah. Anderson, Hoffman, Pitlick were all product of CC and Suzuki also. Crazy they absolutely made them good players since it works like that apparently.

…not

 

[Runner77]

Don't you know his answer? Slaf has to learn to play...THE...game.

It was reported a few weeks ago that Marty had taken over the PP duties.

Begs the question re Burrows:

The Habs PP looks like this NYR goal celly tonight.

MSL is actually seeing the forest for the trees. He's allowing Burrows to run the PP into the ground so Habs can tank and get more talent to work with when they're actually competitive

Edit: or taking the initiative himself which is better

 

[Tyson]

Habs don't appear to have one goal in them tonight...hope I am wrong

 

[Kennedys]

The team is bad and is supposed to be bad. Some people seem to forget this everytime the Habs win a game.

 

[The Great Weal]

I have a hard time seeing him put up 70 points. Every page on every thread was people crapping on Danault's goalscoring ability, but Dach has been worse so far and I doubt he will ever top Danault's 27 goals. 10-15 is the expected outcome unless something drastically changes for him (shoots more and learns how to shoot better). That being said his playmaking and skillset may allow him to have Voracek like production but I'm not counting on it.

In what way was that a major penalty??

 

[The Great Weal]

Well CC/Suzuki were still lighting it up with those guys in the 2nd half, most notably Anderson.

 

[Gravity]

They made Anderson look like a top 6 F which is a miracle in itself. Dach is certainly better than all those players but that isn't saying much....

 

[Rapala]

Habs don't appear to have one goal in them tonight...hope I am wrong

I kinda thought that before it started. I mean Markstrom gifted us the win in Calgary so you just knew he would want to stone us here.

 

[zx81]

Ah, CC not keeping his head up maybe. If you are small you better be aware, mostly he is, but this one time.....
He paid.

CC is usually pretty good at avoiding hits. This situation still would have been avoided if Hoffman did not turn the puck over once again at the blue line on the pp.

If it was a rare occurrence I would not blame anyone but Hoff has done the same mistake countless of times already. Eventually you have to understand and use him elsewhere than at the point.

 

[expy]

Suzuki, Hoffman, Dach

loll

 

[sheed36]

Wideman shoots and that goes wide.

 

[Kennerback]

OMG Kadri’s back! How does he do it?

 

[The Great Weal]

Well I hope Slaf enjoyed those 10 seconds on the first line at the end of the period.

Xhekaj gets it through

I saw Caufield working with Dach on his shooting in plain clothes before the game. No better person to learn from. He can potentially become a competent shooter with the right amount of reps. Even if he doesn't, he'll be playing with great shooters his entire contract so it's not the end of the world if he's not elite at it

 

[The Real Timo]

Hoffman with Suzuki and Dach

Xhekaj gets it through

Bench his ass!
