Caufield will shadow him, no problem

 

[EveryDay]

Stephane Waite said that the Habs goalie coach stayed behind and was on the ice with Primeau in Brossard this morning. Waite thinks that Primeau is playing tomorrow. He made an interesting point- why bring Primeau to Buffalo to have him fly back and arrive in Montreal at 2 AM. Logical points.

Against the Devils? Ouch tough 1st game if true.

Waite did say that a player who hasn't played in a month and to play against a Devils team with a 42% PP is defined not optimal but he has to play, might as well be now.

My concern is that this is the definition of setting someone up for failure.

Don't play in a month, then play after a game the night before against an ultra talented offensive team. If he falters the critics we will be out in force clamoring that he sucks.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

The 3 goalies string is awful

 

[morhilane]

Yep, he's due for a 4 goals game against us.

He loves playing the Habs so much: 23 goals, 17 assists in 38 games.

Maybe it's Kent way to pass Primeau to waivers after according 5 goals in 16 shots against the Devils hoping Tampa Bay won't claim him?

[Rapala]

Only one game today, but tomorrow all 32 are playing.

Who's the idiot at NHL HQ who did this scheduling?

I don't know but they are messing with my Monday Night Football. Frickin' Buffalo it's usually a Friday night game and I think this is the second Monday in recent memory. Looking for Habs B2B's find out when we play Buffalo.

 

[Skip Bayless]

 

[FrankMTL]

Savage attack.

 

[Rapala]

just want to give appreiciate to having Cole Caufield on this team, what a man, what a player, we are lucky to have him and I think he can start pulling Patty Kane numbers up eventually, that being said Benson hatty tonight

No he can't don't set yourself up for disappointment. He doesn't have anywhere near vintage Patrick Kane puck handling ability. His stat line will always be first column heavy which is exactly what we want from him.

 

[Rapala]

Watching and listening to Francois Gagnon makes me regret my ability of being fluent in French.


"Cayden, you ain't really a part of the team so we didn't buy you a plane ticket"

They are working on a trade and don't want him getting injured in the air. Man I love this new medical team.

 

[Rapala]

François Gagnon’s voice is the proverbial scratching fingernails on a chalkboard effect, aka « grima ».

Add to that how his face is drooping more and more with each appearance as he transitions toward becoming a Halloween skeletor and you have yourself an endless supply of cringe.

Imagine how annoying it would be when he's drunk...
Oh yeah I remember when someone in Philly thought this face was punchable.

He might yeah (if he gets traded)

 

[Runner77]

Hah... the reliability of my feelings is that of Darren Drager's predictions.

That’s why we love ya.

Guy on a Buffalo

Go Go!

​

Comrie is a starter

 

[Runner77]

I don’t wish anyone harm but we already know that Allen won’t be healthy all season, if the past is an indicator.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Comrie is a starter

Yes and I will update the lineup soon. Presently at work. also still waiting for the official lineup

 

[Runner77]

Hate it when fans from other teams assume we don’t know what’s going on.

Tage Thompson about to burst on our candy asses.

He better, I drafted him with my first pick in fantasy this year and it's been killing me.

All kidding aside, this is going to be a tough game. Good OR bad, Sabres play us hard every single time.

 

[Habs Icing]

Hah... the reliability of my feelings is that of Darren Drager's predictions.

That good, huh.

 

[Runner77]

That good, huh.

@The Real Timo is as formidable as they get.

Tell me that this hasn’t caused a schizophrenic reaction by now:

You see? He’s that good.

 

[Habbietat]

I think once we get some more talent playing with him you will see more playmaking and more points imo, im not willing to put a cap on him yet although I always saw him as a 70-75 point, I think theres room for optimism

 

[Redux91]

Habs are first in the league for face-off percentage. Who predicted that?

Nick seems to be taking a bit less this year feels like, but not getting killed out there also (only struggling in clutch F/O situations looks like..)
And obviously... sigh.. with Dach out, his only flaw with F/O's means our team overall in % will be higher lol, bah

Monahan has been absolutely crushing it (even winning the OT face off for Nick and scurrying away to let Caufield hop on lolL
And Evans is no slouch on F/Os either

What's surprising with us being good on team face off% is that one of the best face off men in the league in Dvorak hasn't even played 1 game for us yet lol
