GDT: Game 49: Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Canadiens 1/26/23 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

At the beginning of the year, I said all other things improved, I'd be happy with between 40-50 pts. If he gets into the 50-60 pts, that should be taken as a great developmental success

Yeah, I was keeping expectations modest for Dach too. I felt he needed to get to 40+ points to show growth as a player.

Holy f***, is he showing growth now.

 

[Tyson]

2 beautiful goals too, including a shorthanded goal.

Dach had a fight against Copp, and one punched him to the ice. Dach is a freaking beast!

We are watching the evolution of Kirby Dach. Exciting stuff for a Habs fan.

The great development so far is his ability to drive possession. It's not like he's playing with HOF wingers.

Harvey-Pinard and Belzile are hurting the tank

They're making their case to be on the 4th line next year.

I'd like to see Belzile as 4c, Evans as 3c, and Dvorak on the wing in the top 6 (or at least Evans on the wing in the top 9).

CC missed his fair share of perfect Suzuki set ups. I'm sure some of it was due to injury. The thing I don't like now is how soft Suzuki is playing which was never part of his game in the past.

Suzuki has been really disappointing for quite a while now.
Nick has scored 1 goal in his last 17.67 games.
Is he injured or fatigued ? Time to at least cut his PK time.

I’d rather Farrel/Roy in the top 6 and Dvorak traded.

 

[Tyson]

Pezzetta 81 NHL games
8G 9A
Good 4th line numbers

 

[MarkovsKnee]

minny and philly woke up this morning and chose violence. 3 fights in the 1st 10 mins. was wondering why that period took so long lol


*correction 3 fights in 17 seconds*

2 Heavyweight bouts.

Deslauriers vs Reeves
MacEwen vs Foligno

But Mason Shaw vs Wade Allison? Wth?

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

We are watching the evolution of Kirby Dach. Exciting stuff for a Habs fan.

and before that, Caufield. and before that, Guhle. and before that, Suzuki.

some very bright spots in this otherwise ****ty season.

 

[26Mats]

I’d rather Farrel/Roy in the top 6 and Dvorak traded.

would be nice...I'm just assuming his trade value is too low now, but if he were to play wing in the top 6 his offensive numbers would rise enough to be traded...

Heineman and Farrell will be in the lineup at the end of this year. That's already a lot of forward rookies: Ylonen, RHP, Heineman, Farrell. Would be interesting if Roy and Beck also make their cases...

Nah Suzukis a bust now, read the board.

 

[Tyson]

Can Dvorak be traded?

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Can Dvorak be traded?

Quite sad considering the price Bargainbin paid to acquire him…

 

[First Line]

Of all the players recalled from Laval, Pitlick looks the worst

 

[Whitesnake]

Say what you want about the coaching staff in Laval but those kids are coming to Montreal ready to play.

Yeah....I was expecting a firing....seems to me we should probably think of a re-signing.....

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Paul Byron would have gotten by Walman

 

[Stive Morgan]

Of all the players recalled from Laval, Pitlick looks the worst

Unless he scores the OT winner again

 

[Whitesnake]

Of all the players recalled from Laval, Pitlick looks the worst

Ylonen has had 1 very good game. All downhill from there.

 

[Kennedys]

Gorton : Hey Kent, we should call up half of Laval so we can get a chance at Bedard
Hughes : Yea good idea, i'll do it. Heheh I doubt we win more than 5 games with this lineup
Gorton : xD
AHL call ups : Hold my beer

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Yeah....I was expecting a firing....seems to me we should probably think of a re-signing.....

Maybe we should reconsider not sending Slaf to the AHL…

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

My proclamation is, Husso ever scores the next goal shall win the game..

 

[zx81]

Finally a good shift by Suzuki

 

[Stive Morgan]

Wheres the neon guy? I see a bunch of neon jackets but they look like cops and some kid in a Fox Racing hoodie

 

[expy]
