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

[FLHabs]

No way! that was a great play by Dach

 

[HuGo Sham]

Ok watched the replay. 2 mins for being strong

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Sit Dach and call Beck for a game.

 

[le_sean]

Wouldn’t be a Habs game without Dach getting a minus and then a penalty!

 

[overlords]

as is tradition

 

[JoelWarlord]

Crazy we're about to be a point ahead of Detroit and 5 up on Buffalo lol

 

[ZUKI]

He bleeds Bleu Blanc Rouge. He's a guy who can stick around and play bottom 6. Obviously his next contract would be a much smaller salary cap hit.

sad but even if i agree he bleeds Habs, by the time our team will be contender, Habs will get better options. That's the game

 

[waitin425]

Hutson with 2 points tonight......Celebrini with one earlier......Michkov with the donut.....Calder race is on!!!

Divo drinks hard liquor eh, not hard to imagine that. He has the appearance of a dry drunk whenever we see him.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I swear, Dach has a bonus in his contract that says, I need to get at least a penalty/game.

 

[salbutera]

Have to imagine if the Habs don't really build off this and finish low they draft Schaefer to get that potential number 1 dman

Unless the injury bug hammers them again, I just don’t see this team drafting top-10

 

[MXD]

Sacrament, une punition en zone offensive sur William f***ing Lagesson. Le comble de l'inutile

 

[The Great Weal]

Wouldn’t be a Habs game without Dach getting a minus and then a penalty!

But he can flush the toilet after he uses it all by himself now. Patience.

 

[Riddick412]

Habs at the highest of their season, Dach still looks like garbage. Not a good sign.

 

[Theodore450]

That’s also true and I like Armia. I just think he’s too inconsistent. I’d rather keep Evans, Gally and Anderson around. Make room for a couple of young guys

That’s fair, and I feel the criticism. I think dvo and Dach are the guys that need to be replaced. Team needs a stronger middle

 

[Walrus26]

Wouldn’t be a Habs game without Dach getting a minus and then a penalty!

He was hard done by on that call. Guy grabbed his stick to sell it.

 

[Boyon90]

I know it hurts to admit it but it’s the truth

I litteraly just saw him shot some thin air in the crease right before I read your post lol

 

[overlords]

okay so on replay it looks like his stick was held and he just played the body. I need a better angle.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

For me, he retires a Hab no matter what. We'll see how management views him. He got screwed out of at least 1 cup with us because of Bergevin's baffunery

 

[salbutera]

I swear, Dach has a bonus in his contract that says, I need to get at least one stick penalty/game.

Fixed

 

[Trabdy2]

Would Beck be better than Dach, right now? What is Dach doing that Beck can't do?

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Some observations in the GDT:

1) Lane Hutson is special. He needs to work on his shot extremely hard over the next summer (to open up more options for himself and others) but his vision is ultra elite already, and he runs the powerplay like he’s been doing it his entire life. In a couple of years? Sky is the limit. He can pull people out of their seats like Subban, and run a powerplay like Markov. A big, right hand shot, elite defender that can play half the game should be a 1A/1B target for the immediate future.

2) Patrik Laine found whatever he had lost, and is the elite game breaker the Habs haven’t had for a few decades. When given time and space, he launches lasers that end up behind the goaltender. He doesn’t even need a screen, his shot is that hard and accurate, (and well set up by Mr Hutson) he can fire at will.

3) Jake Evans has arrived, and I’m happy to see it! He’s somehow managed to work hard away from the puck while developing a sneaky good offensive game. He’s become an elite penalty killer and deserves a lot of credit for everything he’s done. (I know he’s playing for a contract as well) If you’d have told me that he would have twice as many goals as Slaf by Christmas, I’d have said you were nuts.

4) If they had a decent second line center, this team would probably be close to sneaking into the playoffs. Picking up Carrier was a shrewd move, as he solidifies the pairings nicely. A steady right hand veteran was exactly what they needed and seems to have fit in seamlessly. Granted it’s only two games, and against a not great opponent, but I think this was a terrific pickup.

5) Alex Newhook, not having a single assist before Christmas, is something that makes me chuckle every time.

They beat two of the worst teams 3 games in a row.

After Christmas they have a really long streak of playing competent teams, so the probability to stay in this area is very possibly.

 

[OldCraig71]

Why not try Evans?

He isn't that, a filler yes but not consistently good enough. Monahan with this maturing group plus Laine and we would currently be in a playoff spot.

The stick shouldn't have been there in the first place.
