Pre-Game Talk: Game 44: Thurs Jan 16th: Habs @ Stars, 8 PM | TSN2, RDS

[Tyson]

bring up Tuch

This is so logical, he has NHL speed, size and strength, perfect 4th liner. Condotta is another option.

make the call Tyson

I think the line that struggled the most again was Gallagher Anderson and Dvorak.
The decision is do you bring in a player to play with Evans or a player for what is ostensibly our fourth line and bump Anderson. Either way we need a physical player with pace.
I've missed the last couple of games is Tuch coming around because frankly he's been a no show after his return from injury.

Tuch has played very well in recent games. His skating is borderline elite. Big body that skates and finished his checks, perfect 4th liner.

Good I'll finally get a chance to see them live tonight against a decent team.

Just to take up a spot on the big club is not worth the time

Pezzetta is fine as the 13th forward, who’s typically a healthy scratch and is only used in emergency situations. They should have a forward like that. Sending him to play in Laval, where he’ll take ice time from another forward isn’t a good option, imo.

But knowing that Heineman won’t be back, until, most likely, after the break they should bring someone up from Laval to play on the 4th line and keep Pezzetta as the healthy scratch for the next 3-4 weeks.

 

[Whitesnake]

Call up Beck or Davidson. Nobody else.

Davidson doesn’t have much pace to his game

Beck is the only prospect who meets the requirements of bottom-6 + his face off acumen is a bonus

Nope. Not anymore. If you really need somebody to NOT play, there's 12 forwards in Laval for that. No need to watch the games from the pressbox. If they idea is that you are going on a trip, call up somebody when you do.

Pezzetta is a nuisance. He has to go.

Davidson doesn’t have much pace to his game

I want to see that at the NHL level. Sometimes players have that tendancy to go with the flow that they are playing in. Which is why sometimes players are looking better in higher levels.

 

[waitin425]

Redeem himself? He gave up one goal in 65 minutes?

I simply mean, steal a win back.

Welcome back dark mode.

Go Habs go.

That’s probably a better plan. Playing Pezzetta for 5 shifts (with none in the 3rd period) like last night doesn’t help the team, especially if he’s taking penalties in those limited shifts. I just don’t think he should be in Laval, either.

now just need live threads

And the Habs won against 3 of those teams.
The best thing is, not only are they winning and playing well, they are fun to watch. Gonna be crazy fun next season with the addition of Demidov.

 

[JianYang]

I wanna see Dobes but they're only giving him the tough ones on the back-to-backs.

He's playing roughly once a week which is the minimum id like to see him... otherwise he's better off in the ahl.

It will be interesting after this weekend because the Habs will not have a back go back the following week, so hopefully they keep spotting him at least one start per week.

Monty has some of the most starts in the league, I think it would be prudent for them to spell him more often than they are. Dobes has earned it, too.
