GDT: Game 53: CC-Suzuki-Slaf vs the Anaheim (Not so Mighty) Ducks: Tues. Feb. 13, 7 PM | TSN2, RDS

[CaptainKirk]

We are dominating a really bad team.

Now we know how Blues fans felt the other day.

 

[The Great Weal]

You guys are weird for wanting to split up something that is working. It was Caufield-Suzuki at first since Dach-Caufield would work better for whatever reason, and now that Slaf-Suzuki is killing it we should split them up and play him with Dach because he looked good with him in preseason.

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... the shots on goal 30-9. Ducks are some kind of bad.

 

[Tyson]

LA Kings getting smoked against the Sabres...damn

 

[vlady]

Slaf AI has gained predictive capabilities. He promised during the 1st intermission that the Habs would get some, and he followed that with 2 primary assists.

he's turning into Messier

 

[Habs]

Now we know how Blues fans felt the other day.

Totally. TSN tards need to get a grip on the situation at hand

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Slaf doing work in Kovalev's office , I think I'm going to cry

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Slaf is incredible, man.

19 years old

 

[Milhouse40]

Splitting them up isn’t a bad idea at all. But I like Slaf with Dach. Would be impossible to stop.

So many possibilities opened up with Dach and Newhook in the line-up, kind of miss another one in that range of skills and the top 6 could be really fun to play with. Maybe our top pick this year will be that missing piece.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Anaheim is so shit!

We're outshooting them 30-9. Holy crap!

Also I am looking forward to Slafkovsky to Suzuki for a long, long time.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

You shut ur mouf

In reality, Newhook and Roy and maybe Demidov or Celebrini isnt bad at all for Dach.

Id like to have at least one top level talent with Dach. This is 2 years now where only one line has been phenomenal. But yeah if demidov, Lindstrom, or celebrini are Habs, that's all Dach really needs

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Me too but I feel as though Caufield probably needs one of them to open things up for him. Suzuki can literally play with anyone and I'd be fine

It doesn’t matter where Caufield plays. He’s going to generate chances.

Its the total lack of respect for Nick to me. At first it was to unlock Coles potential, bla bla.

Man Nicks a legit first line C we gotta stop hating

 

[Adam Michaels]

Literally the Habs /that covid year, even if they were 8th last when the season got cancelled.

:O

Took historic levels of injuries for Habs to end up low enough in the standings to pick 1st and 5th in consecutive years. They wouldn't have been a playoff team. But they wouldn't be that bad.

Also, in those COVID seasons, Anaheim was still at the bottom of the standings. They're still there. You'd hope they'd show progress by now. And that's not to say they didn't pick good players there.

When a team is about to pick where they will select for a sixth year in a row, I wouldn't be envious of them.

If in 2026-27, Habs are still at the bottom of the standings after picking Top-10/Top-5 in consecutive drafts, I'd seriously question their plan.

 

[sheed36]

Things aren't copacetic for Kovacevic

Yeah it's been pretty septic for Kovacevic.

 

[McGees]

With our 1st line rolling, really need 1 more stud forward pick, assuming Dach is healthy and then sign a big UFA - boom contenders.

Just wait for the facial hair, we haven't seen anything yet.

 

[Canadienna]

Slaf is a point per game in his last 11.

You mean the teenager with < 100 GP Slafkovsky? That guy??

 

[zx81]

For the curious.
The fewest shots we have conceded in a game is 10 against Carolina in 1999. We lost this game 3-1

Yeah, my take too. Just play Newhook with Dach and find someone else. That's a solid second line anyway.

 

[sampollock]

LA Kings getting smoked against the Sabres...damn

LA sucks bad

 

[HabSgt]

Mason McTavish deserves better than this. We'll give the Ducks Tanner Pearson for him straight up.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Xhekaj handled a pretty big dude

Probably the biggest guy he fought so far

 

[Mrb1p]

Dach is the top level talent on his line. Hes more than good enough to "carry" Roy and Newhook. Dach and Roy are literally made for each other, they will both get 50+
