I wonder what's up with Dach

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

we're probably going to get smoked tonight. The maple donkeys will be jacked with their latest donkey meat acquisitions. it will be a painful necessity for the tank

Never discount the Leafs' ability to lose these gimmes.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I wonder what's up with Dach

I SEE what you did there

 

[SwiftyHab]

I wonder what's up with Dach

Have we done this before?

 

[Tuggy]

Allen will be lit up like a Christmas tree tonight.

Maybe even get the hook.

 

[McGees]

I wonder what's up with Dach

Lol I was beaten too it

 

[Tyson]

A good showing is all I want. Habs need to compete hard.

 

[HuGo Sham]

What a horrible AHL lineup

yikes, 5 full time AHLers and a couple of other stiffs who should be down there too

 

[The Real Timo]

That lineup

 

[GobigorGohome]

Edit: this is going to be tough to watch

Don't watch

 

[Habs]

19-1 Toronto - Sundin with a 10 pt night

 

[Runner77]

I wonder what's up with Dach

 

[Gustave]

Agree. Imagine not making it past the first round in 18 years.

18 Tabarnak!

2004…Saddam Hussein was still alive, Mark Z. just created The Facebook, and Alex Ovechkin was the number one draft choice. We didn’t have smart phones yet and IPods were a thing! Cimonac…

C’est rough en effet.
There’s good and fun to have by being on top for several years, but a this point these fans don’t really enjoy the regular seasons. They just want to get through it so they can see if they have what it takes, year after year.

But, to each their own and I respect that. I understand the other side of the argument.

18 years ago you could watch the Habs on Radio-Canada.

So cryptic a response but frankly his whole injury status has been poorly communicated so why be clear now?

The NFL with several billions more in value provides up to the minute injury statuses for all players. The NHL is a friggin joke in so many ways compared to other sports leagues.

If Bob Cole was calling the game, this is his how he would be making it sound for Toronto and Sundin regardless of the score.

So doesn't sound like Habs will be getting a first for Monahan.

That’s exactly the gambling industry’s gripe with the NHL. The NHL has welcomed gambling revenue with open arms and all broadcasts are littered with their ads. The gambling sharks don’t like to lay big bets down without access to up to date and reliable injury information.

I couldn’t care less about the gambling industry however, it wouldn’t surprise me that if the NHL changed its ways about injury transparency, it would come as a result of them having exerted pressure on the NHL.

translation: his injury is not improving.

If HuGo are dead-set on another 1st, they're going to have move someone more valuable like an Anderson.
Eddy and money at most, will get 2nds - and even then, contingent on how much they play imho

And I know we're all excited to see Dadonov / Drouin / Hoffman dealt, but is it worth it to HuGo to even move them for 5ths when we actually don't have enough bodies to finish the season?

 

[Tyson]

David Savard I think will be in some demand. He immediately helps bolster any defense and has played on a team that won 4 rounds.
I hope he is kept but I am sure Hughes will listen to any offer.

Prolonged injuries to Monahan and Eddy will likely have shifted the GM’s offerings toward players he may not have been as enthused about moving, say someone like a David Savard, who is a proven, reliable playoff workhorse.

It’s either cough up players that he didn’t intend on marketing or give up on the idea of acquiring a third 1st rounder altogether.

 

[the valiant effort]

6-1 Habs, 3 EN

agreed, but wondering if he deals someone like Savard, who genuinely wants to be here, is a homeboy, mentor and most of all a close friend of PLD

6-1 Habs, 3 EN

this board would short circuit

Savard is no untouchable but with an overpay, Hughes would be hard pressed to accept, I would have to believe.
