Can't find English feed
RDS shoeuyamd talking zegras

You seems like a nice guy maybe i can find you a date with a beautifull Quebecoise so you can learn her mother tongue.....or simply her tongue

 

[EveryDay]

Now try to get Zegras to help the 2nd line.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn didn't realize Buffalo is beating Kings 5-0! Ha. Ha. Ha.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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

Caufield has never been bullied in his career. He generates chances every night. It hasn’t gone in as much this year but the chances are there. In a normal year he’d be pacing for forty goals. Sometimes you get snakebit. But up until this season he’s done nothing but score. It really doesn’t matter who he’s with.

@Rehab Hello???

Nah Slaf is a middle 6 player at best on a real contender... Blah blah blah..

Hockey historians will be writing about this for years... Blah blah blah....

 

[LV426]

PLD was a find for la, lol

Glad we dodged that bullet.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

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.

I just don't see Roy playing more than third line duties right now. There's always a chance that Hughes continues the trend of Dach/Newhook type trades and gets Dach that final piece in the top 6 to play with him

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Now try to get Zegras to help the 2nd line.

Not a big fan of Zegras but need him so Cole can have a new bestie now that Suzuki has moved on

Slaf-Suzuki-XXX
Zegras-Dach-Caufield

I think you do the same thing with him as we did with Slaf. Play him in the top six.

 

[Mrb1p]

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?

Im 5'11 (and 3/4) and tower over everyone like Ross does, people are small.

 

[NobleSix]

Basu about to come on and talk Zegras

 

[Adam Michaels]

Once culture of losing gets ingrained ….

Exactly. At some point, a team needs to show progress.

So far, the Ducks are the Western Conference version of the Sabres. The players they pick at the top of the draft are solid and produce, but the culture is a losing one.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I miss the game because of work but I'm happy for Slaf wow!!

 

[Redux91]

To be fair to he I refuse to name

Kazakhstan could totally beat this Anaheim team tho

[HabbyGuy]

@Rapala picked a good game to watch our young Slaf first hand.

Voldemort?

Sometimes you get snakebit. But up until this season he’s done nothing but score. It really doesn’t matter who he’s with.

When Suzuki and Caufield have been with eachother and no one else, they haven't been as effective. And a lot of those goals weren't 5 on 5. And I was more alluding to playoffs. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that I'm more right lol. He can definitely thrive without them, but he would do so much better with one of them as evidenced by the last two seasons

 

[OnTheRun]

@Rehab Hello???

Something something, Liiga stats.

 

[The Great Weal]

Kazakhstan could totally beat this Anaheim team tho

Would explain why Slaf is doing so well

 

[Ezpz]

Who would have expected Cole being the third wheel? I think most thought Cole would be the key offensive guy carrying Slaf and Nick.

 

[EveryDay]

Not a big fan of Zegras but need him so Cole can have a new bestie now that Suzuki has moved on

Slaf-Suzuki-Helenius
Zegras-Dach-Caufield

And draft a 1st RW like Helenius or Catton or BNG

 

[Kennerback]

First line is killing it. Even their 5 on 5 sometimes feels like a PP.

 

[Goalfield13]

This might get a lot of hate but Slaf and Suzuki should stay together and Caufield should play with Dach to balance the talent going forward

I was just thinking this.

 

[Adam Michaels]

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.

Anaheim's been having injury issues since 2019? And before they had their injuries this year, they were still at the bottom. At least Montreal has been hovering around the .500 mark all season so far, despite another injury riddled season.
