GDT: Game 37: Montreal @ Dallas, Tues. Jan. 2nd, 8 p.m. | RDS, TSN2

[SlafySZN]

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

I’m not worried. We’ll see progress on that front like we did in his game in general this season. He’s a quick learner

 

[Andy]

A Slaf goal tonight would be great.

All that Cooley talk at the beginning of the season, Slaf is only 4 points behind him now. Still leads draft class in points (granted he played double the games). He's still the best forward from that draft.

 

[The Great Weal]

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

It is pretty frustrating, but the rest of his game has come a very long way in such a short span. Finishing ability won't happen overnight, expect an improvement next season after a full offseason training of it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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.

Next year he should have a shot quota. Three per game.

No bloody way motormouth montombo holds the Stars to 1 goal.

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

I keep gettiing ads when I try to change threads.

 

[Habano]

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

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

If he smiled he'd sprain his face, he's not used to it

 

[The Great Weal]

We are 1st in the league for goals by dman yet none of them can properly QB a PP

 

[HabSgt]

What happened to constant-bitch-face Dvorak?

He smiled

He'll get 1st star of the game if he manages it.

I see what you're doing, keep it up.

 

[The Real Timo]

I think just for shits and giggles Habs should pair Matheson and Barron.

 

[Habs10Habs]

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.

I see your point, but none of the D are ready to make the jump up quite yet. Wifi is in Laval for a reason. Struble isn't getting a ton of ice time. Ghule is very close to making the jump. Matheson's offensive will continue to make him a valuable asset.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yolo goal then

Does it matter right now though?

Not really. We’re rebuilding. We’re going to be bottom ten. Let him rack points and burn heavy minutes. He’ll have trade value and we can cash in. If not this year then next.

No point in throwing Guele out there every night to get crushed. He’s going to be a great blueliner but he’s still really young.

 

[The Real Timo]

Kova is playing a lot better since having sat a couple of games.

 

[McGees]

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

We should play with 12 D since they are apparently better than our forwards at scoring.

 

[Whalers Fan]

A bunch of guys from the current and former junior teams here in Plymouth in the building tonight. Seguin and Wedgewood played for the Plymouth Whalers (OHL) , DeBoer coached them, and Caufield from the NTDP. It's nostalgia night for me.

Habs skatingreally well

Brave browser, bro.

It does work great no ads for me

A solid bottom pairing D. This 7 D thing also keeps Barron in check a bit

Exactly. When they have 3 LD that need to be in the NHL and are ready they will have to decide what to do with Matheson.

His offensive production will go down. Hes not a 60 points D.

Guhle is already drawing the defensive matchups and first PK. Hes thrown out to the wolves lol.

 

[zx81]

We got -1 shot in the last 6 minutes

 

[HabbyGuy]

Another low shot total for each team, this seems to be happening often lately
