Is it too much to ask for a Pezzetta goal?

Don't get too greedy

 

[The Great Weal]

Not a good time to try to bash on CC when he’s starting to find back his game and has been scoring.

He's been a poor goalscorer this season, his 2 game goal streak hasn't changed that.

 

[SlafySZN]

Has been...

Yeah, 2 goals in 2 games. 3 in the last 7 games. Pretty much finding his norm.

 

[OldCraig71]

Did the Enya song put you to bed? I think you started dreaming a bit early

There's nothing wrong with dreaming.

 

[Habs10Habs]

1/3?

Feels good man

Get a vet on the market for the right side if thats what theyre scared of, for a 3rd or wtv.

Sit Barron or Harris, run the vet+Savard, voila.

Then you'll bitch that the new Vet will be getting all the ice time lol Just be patient, Matheson will be traded in due time.

 

[PhysicX]

We're playing with 7D? Just realized we're missing a forward.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Habs looking good, slowly getting better, it's unfortunate we didn't get Dach this season.

 

[Redux91]

I hope that Slafkovsky turns into a Draisaitl clone.

I'm thinking more Rantanen

But he's gotta start SHOOTING more ffs lol

It'll come, hopefully

CC will be fine in the long run. He’s played really well but it just hasn’t gone in. Shooting percentage won’t stay where it is forever. This will be a disappointing season but maybe the surgery has something to do with that.

I still say he’s a 50 goal scorer in the future. Just a shame it’s not this year.

This might not be a bad strategy longterm since MSL barely plays the 4th line anyway.

 

[The Great Weal]

Anyone else thinks that the nonstop glazing over Leafs players/prospects makes them think that they need to pay them more with their contract? 11.25x8 for Nylander is ridiculous.

 

[zx81]

I like Slaf's progression except for his finishing ability that is still really bad.
If he can fix that next season we will have a star.

What happened to constant-bitch-face Dvorak?

 

[Nicko999]

I am feeling a 7-6 type of games

It is but they already gave the big money to Matthews and Marner (few years ago) so Nylander is measuring himself to these guys.

Meh not our problem let the leafs do leafs things. They never learn.

I hope Nylander kills their cap for years.

I guess he got hurt against Florida

Yolo goal then

I dont even care that Matheson is taking ice time. Well, PP from Guhle ya.

I care that he flat out sucks. Hes bad, hes terrible, he costs the team a goal per 20 minutes on average.

The only redeeming quality is his offense, and its highly unsustainable, which is why I want them to move him, not because of ice time. Hell be worth a 3rd rounder when theyre ready to move him, meanwhile they could just acquire a defensive vet for that, and move him for more.

It's coming. They're working with him on his shot.

I think the plan is going well , here's how I see it progressing :

- Habs keep drafting well.
- Existing youngsters either graduate or progress in the NHL.
- Habs acquire a couple more key players via trade (Matheson/Dach/Newhook as examples). This could be key Vets that are still useful for the forseeable future or 23/24 year olds looking for a change in scenery.
- Habs ideally stay healthy and Dach/Newhook inserted in the lineup full time boosts the offense.

This could be the recipe for a really competitive team in 2024-2025.

Yes... Slaf finishing ability ECHL quality at this point.

Are any of you guys have issues with your account on this site?

 

[The Real Timo]

Yoel is carrying the team as usual.

 

[habdynasty]

No

By smiling? He can remain on LTIR forever for all I care.

Actually, I'll be nice and wish we trade him to some US team for a 7th round pick in 2040.
