GDT: Game 33: Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Canadiens 12/21/24 7:00pm EST SNE, CIty, TVAS

[The Last Red]

Not only that, but Detroit is Primeau’s hometown team. Typically coaches make a point of featuring players in these games.

Not really. Preems grew up in the Philly suburbs.

He’s still from Michigan and his dad went to the Cup Finals with the Red Wings. I bet it still means something.

I am a bit torn. But since Laine I am kinda moving into a place where I think we have enough prospects and picks and a single draft will only have a limited impact. I think we might calculate that we should start building a good culture to avoid being EDM for the longest of time and the Sabres now.

Happy to hear that Monty confirmed for tonight, but I do agree Primeau needs to be given his walking papers.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

He’s not seeing the ice unless Monty falls apart LITERALY, like losing an arm in the dressing room and whatnot.

You think ??????

Media: Yes but Sam lost an arm???
St-Louis: yeah but the other arm play real well right now.

It will happen soon. I can see Primeau get one last chance in Columbus

personally, I'd be surprised if that calgary/florida pick isn't moved to improve the team's immediate outlook in the offseason, maybe sooner.

Tonight's the night, i feel it........4 assist night for the New hook

If I were to compare myself as a hockey player to current/ex-Habs I’d say I have the net front presence (ie garbage goals) of Gally, the backchecking ‘tenacity’ of Drouin, the playmaking ability of Newhook (non-existent) and the dedication to fitness of David Savard.

St-Louis is DONE with Primeau but HuGo don't understand.

A stream down the river is enough to satiate a young lad such as myself. Drunk as I may be, a stream may be all that I need to quench this thirst.

That reminds me of the time when I stopped playing for reals. That was when I realized that there is only a rather limited market for small, slow wingers with non existent stick handling and a terrible shot plus a bad work ethic in the NHL..

Laine doesn’t change the rebuild. He’s not the guy you build around, not even sure he’s here after next season.

If Monty gets hot its gonna be a Huet situation. We all remember superbowl weekend 2006 cause of that guy.

What a trade honestly. Just what the doctor ordered.

You are right. But he is a piece that makes the whole more visible. It is all right now. The difference between #4 and #8 won't make much of a difference. Draft is still and it has always been a crap shoot. What we really need is a #1 C and #1 D - Hutson is the perfect #2. There are no guarantees on those.

 

[vokiel]

So we're looking for a vet goaltender as well? They should waive Primeau give Dobes a couple of NHL games in a row.

He's the type of guy we build around if that can include him bringing his buddy Rantanen to the party

You don’t know of course. But you have more chance getting it at 4th than 8.

It makes perfect sense. What have these people done to my Habs??

We already have all the prospects we need. I would even be willing to trade the pick as a piece in a deal that would bring us a big young top 6 forward (possibly center) with term. We also need another defensive minded RD to play with Hutson. We're pretty much set otherwise. All options and all picks should be in play. If there's no good deal to make we just keep our 1st pick.
