GDT: Game 35: The Dreaded Holidays Trip: Habs @ Panthers, Dec 28, 2024, 1 pm | TSN2, RDS, ESPN+

Really liking Heineman's play

when he's on the forecheck he's like a steadily moving tank going for that puck i love his game

 

[dinodebino]

Playing with fire on this one.... whole period to go.

Yeah, it reads like the Ole song.

 

[CauZuki]

We don't need Danault! We have Danault at home!

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Exactly. The pushback has been against the revisionism, like saying he was never good or has no reason for his struggles.

Yep. Saying he’s been bad is fine. But wanting to play hot potato with him without giving him a chance or not even thinking it could actually take time to get his game back is bizarre. Newhook too. He played well last year and he’s clearly skilled

 

[Theodore450]

Damn losing 1.5 player is tough.

It’s gonna be bloody

 

[The Great Weal]

He is still recovering for crissakes!

The same bozos were saying Caufield would never be a goal scorer again last year in his first season after shoulder surgery.

These simpletons never learn.

You're right, the brainiacs understand that being good for 5% of the season is proving these simpletons wrong.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Funny how Evans barely gets any applause for his efforts while Dach still at -22 is a god after one good period.

Evans has gotten a ton of love and rightfully so.

 

[OldCraig71]

Kirby Dach putting the team on his back tho

I have not been a fan this year and I will take my licks for it but oh well, good to see him score.

 

[McGees]

Evans is looking like Dominic Moore, solid 200 ft 3rd liner who can chip in some points. Awesome to have but please be careful on cash as you can’t rely on him ever hitting these numbers again. You can only rely on his effort and D.

 

[skidcells]

Jake Evans is exactly what Steve Yzerman wants to kick start their playoff push. It’s the holiday season so he can have him for only an unprotected first.

 

[eklund the clown]

Anyone that is not seeing Dach improve is either not watching games or has a seeing eye dog and a braille book .His skating alone has improved 100% ,his contact and work ethic the same even if he doesn't score every game

 

[Runner77]

Dvorak, you donkey

There ought to be a quota of only one donkey per team.

 

[Andrei79]

I see. So in his good games "lol suck it haters, you were dead wrong haha go eat shit". But in his bad games "he's recovering, give him time". Seems rational.

Now you're finally getting it.

 

[The Great Weal]

Hutson not getting a point is criminal, that goal was all him

 

[ryan callahan]

Evans has been applauded and talked about plenty this year, especially in the last week or 2.

Then why is his player thread nearly 4 year old and still on part II while Dach's monstrosity is at 268 pages despite a terrible year.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Enjoy it for this season. Next year will be another step back with half the line gone

NO. It will be a step forward when Evans gets to play with guys with actual offensive ability.

 

[le_sean]

Armia showing why skills need a brain attached to be a great player. He should have known to pass it to Heineman right away before he goes too deep and the defender slides down. Just basic knowledge

 

[Habs13]

There ought to be a quota of only one donkey per team.

We have the market cornered on donkeys!

 

[Frankenheimer]

Man I hate how fans will run it back at you like one good period erases 100s of bad ones before. Listen, I wish as much as everyone here that Dach can become a core piece to a successful Habs run but it will take a lot more than one good period to convince me he will be as good as advertised.

Kent hughes has taken note of your concerns.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Dobes might be the real deal. It's going to hurt Laval, but I don't think he's going back down anytime soon

I thought Dobes looked the best out of the goalies in training camp, so I feel like he's earned this opportunity.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hutson not getting a point is criminal, that goal was all him

Yeah, but he didn't touch the puck, so that sucks points wise.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Still baffled Joel Armia cleared waivers, cap hit did not help I guess.

Carrier is so good along the boards dosen't matter if it's Barkov or wtv. The play dies.

 

[Draft]

Love the enthusiasm around Evans, but he's shooting at close to 30%. Not anywhere close to sustainable.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

He is still recovering for crissakes!

The same bozos were saying Caufield would never be a goal scorer again last year in his first season after shoulder surgery.

These simpletons never learn.

Wake me up when he scores 30.

 

[JustAHabFan]

8x8 for Evans?
Who says no?

It's not going to be enough. Probably 8x10 will be needed.
