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

[MarkovsKnee]

Wait... do the Ducks have a shot on goal in the second??

3.

 

[Hannibal]

Slaf. Jesus. I knew it.

We’re witnessing our the developement of our next star.

 

[Tyson]

Slaf's vision is impressive

 

[salbutera]

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.

Once culture of losing gets ingrained ….

 

[Kennerback]

Slaf is winning all his puck battles in the Ozone.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yeah it's been pretty septic for Kovacevic.

He did beat up "Like a good Neighbour", it's Jake from state farm.

 

[OpenIceHit]

Suzuki 50th point. On pace for 77 this season.

 

[SlafySZN]

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.

They shouldn’t be split up at all but it’s kinda great to know we can have some good alternative and we don’t even have a full top 6 yet.

Xhekaj handled a pretty big dude

Probably the biggest guy he fought so far

Jesus lmao hes big. Wish I was that tall.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

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

Yes but not as much as if he's with Slaf or Dach. I get it then together is every Habs fans were dream and they were great together early on but unless they get Lindstrom, defences will bully Caufield if he has so one to create that space for him. He's not a play driver but a very good complimentary piece

 

[sampollock]

PLD was a find for la, lol

 

[Tyson]

LA sucks bad

Some folks sadly struggle with PTSD, LA struggles with PLD

 

[The Great Weal]

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

Don't know why Suzuki is always getting shafted here when compared to others. Dach has better potential because he's bigger and looked better in preseason, Caufield is better offensively, Slaf is carrying him right now...etc Can we just f***ing enjoy the good players we got right now without comparing them as if they are on other teams?

Yup - I’m even more impressed with how his anticipation keeps growing game by game

 

[WeThreeKings]

@Rehab Hello???

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Slaf's vision is impressive

all 3 can shoot AND pass at a high level ... what

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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

Depending on who we get in the draft they may play next year. Winger wise we’ve got Slaf, Newhook, Roy and Caufield. You want to split those up for two good lines. Maybe it’s Newhook’s and Slaf with Dach and Caufield and Roy with Suzuki. Something like that.

 

[Koivu11]

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

He just needs to learn that loop move near the blue line.
It was funny how we all knew it was coming and it worked every time.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

We should go on a heater and knock the Leafs out of the yoffs

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Dude's last name is Teat... I would love Teat Ke- Moderator Edit: please don't, we took over your phone before you finish just to save the hassle for everyone

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

party in the GDT toniteeee

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

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+

Imo Dach if healthy next year is a 65ish pt player. As for Roy, he's still young. Needs time before asserting himself. Dach needs talent and no offence to the two you mentioned, but they ain't it. Ly kily Habs are probably getting such a talent this year or at the very least trading for one

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.

The injury excuse works for Anaheim too. The point is, both teams have been terrible since 2018 and both teams are on the upswing, lets not throw stones from glass houses.

Lol at the size comparison. It's what girls think the difference is between 5'11 and 6'0. Also weird question by the reporter. "What's it going to take to get one in?". How about having more than 9 shots throughout 40 minutes?
