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

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

Some mock the fact that people are monitoring his skating after, you know, a knee injury. Like clearly, why would anyone look at his skating of all things after that kind of injury. It just doesn't make any sense !

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

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.

Why the hell do you thin.k. Because he is a 4th line forward and Dach is a scoring line forward and most of Dach's posts are whining about him.

 

[the valiant effort]

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

Never galaxy brains it, just tries to get the puck

Edited for clarity

 

[zx81]

Our D is doing fine so far. Dobes has looked really good but he did not have to make amazing saves. What I like most about Dobes so far in this game is his rebound control.

 

[eklund the clown]

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.

although i didn't know much about Carrier he has been quite impressive and a pleasant surprise

 

[Runner77]

Why Hutson didn't get an assist on that ?

He didn’t? That’s probably going to be revised.

 

[FLHabs]

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

I really hope Dobes - Fowler will be the new Halak - Price hehe

 

[boompuffboom]

this team levelled up in december.

its undeniable

 

[ryan callahan]

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

Still performing extremely well with tough deployment against top lines. Long term he's a 10-15 goal a year guy (maybe a bit more if he can find a spot on a top 6 like Stephenson and Danault) but we need him to be a top shutdown guy.

Do you have any other comparisons to blind people ????

 

[MD thaivuN]

How many goats were sacrificed to the blood gods for Newhook to get his first 2 assists?

 

[tnq]

Armia Evans Heinemein is it our Tata Daneault Gallagher line in 2024 ?

 

[SlafySZN]

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.

There’s a whole thread about what his next contract should look like!

 

[Be a Hab]

I would like 5 years @ 3.5M for Evans

 

[EveryDay]

although i didn't know much about Carrier he has been quite impressive and a pleasant surprise

He's fkin great, don't know why the Preds gave him away. Christmas gift?

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Nah that bum Matthews is always injured

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

He didn’t? That’s probably going to be revised.

Because he did that little pass to Newhook.

 

[ryan callahan]

Why the hell do you thin.k. Because he is a 4th line forward and Dach is a scoring line forward and most of Dach's posts are whining about him.

Lmao Evans is not a 4th line forward, especially with his performance this year. Dach has never proven to be a successful scoring line forward in his NHL career.

 

[Kennerback]

If Dach comes out of a funk, this board will love him again like they did with Gallagher and others. One game is not enough, but this board is all about “what have you done lately”.

 

[Frankenheimer]

How many goats were sacrificed to the blood gods for Newhook to get his first 2 assists?

A couple of posters offered themselves as tributes earlier this thread. Cheaper than goats.

 

[Leto]

And what happened to Knight? He asn’t he the next phenom?

He went to the player assistance program to treat his OCD. The timing coincided with Bobovsky's resurgence. Anthony Stolarz did a good job as the backup before leaving Florida.​

 

[The Great Weal]

I know Evans is unlikely to replicate this season, but is a late 1st really worth it? Even if he's just a 30 point center, he's still money on the faceoffs, an absolute workhorse, and arguably the best PKer in the league. Hopefully, he agrees to 3.5x4.

 

[SlafySZN]

He didn’t? That’s probably going to be revised.

Don’t think he touched the puck, honestly. But it was a great play either way.

 

[Naslund]

Armia Evans Heinemein is it our Tata Daneault Gallagher line in 2024 ?

The new (and improved) Armia-Staal-Perry of the 2021 Cup run.
