Pretty obvious that this lead won't last.
Way too many giveaways in the D zone

 

[Habs10Habs]

Ouch, that didn't take long.

 

[OnTheRun]

Lol...

 

[DXStriker]

Ahhhh ... The Habs with a 2 Goal lead lol

 

[Mrb1p]

Big defense by that line there

 

[domiwroze]

MTL 2 , Refs 1

Suzuki's line is just bad.
Drouin's effort is minimal.
Disappointing because on paper this may be our best line.

Drouin could be traded in the off season. He is auditioning for job right now... If he knows it or not. Just my opinion.

 

[Deebs]

Disgusting call

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Snipe

 

[Habs10Habs]

Tatar-Suzuki-Armia
Byron-Domi-Gallagher

PLZ, to end the year.

Best offensive players. Curious what your bottom 6 would look like.

 

[Canadienna]

Habs are gonna make the playoffs

Since you posted this the leafs and canucks both scored

 

[googlymoogly]

That was never a penalty to begin with

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Refs gifted that one... Oh well.

 

[Mrb1p]

Doesnt matter much to me, I just want to see the best offensive players play together for once.

Agreed, Suzuki is ready for the top spot for sure. The reason I asked is with Danault in his proper spot. I'm not sure Drouin would be the winger I'd like to see playing with him. Since that would definitely be our checking line.

 

[googlymoogly]

It's hard to believe but Alzner is so much better than Folin, how has Folin been able to play on and off all season over Alzner.

Its all the same to me. Danault is never going to match up one for one against the top lines, so a bit more goals each side or a bit less each side doesn't change much, in theory.

Plus you gotta play Drouin somewhere...

He doesn't work with Suzuki and Domi because both like to carry the puck a lot, with Danault he could be the one carrying the play.

 

[zx81]

This was a good start mostly because Vancouver was sleeping. Now that they are working harder this should be an easy win for them.


3-2 Van after 2
5-2 after 60 minutes.

 

[overlords]

That would be the ultimate "Expect the unexpected"

Until they're bounced in the first

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Just got in but saw some replays. Definitely can't give Weber that kind of time & space. Damn! What a shot!

Nice goal by Byron & Domi too.

Agreed, I don't consider Danault to be a Selke like defensive player like some here do. But by default, he is our best defensive center. That definitely makes sense, unless Drouin decides to sulk and not accept his role.

I would have much rather seen him traded....but oh well.

I agree, which is why I had mentioned to you previously that Danault worked the best with Tatar and Gally. But as you mentioned first and I later agreed. It's time now for Suzuki to be given the shot. I'm 100% on the Suzuki band wagon.

 

[The Great Weal]

When Paul Byron has become better than Jonathan Drouin lol

 

[Habs10Habs]

Until they're bounced in the first

I was going to say "Well anything can happen if you make it". But even typing that, I'm laughing.

3-2 Van after 2
5-2 after 60 minutes.

Yeah it seemed like the time difference messed with them a little bit.

I think Drouin would benefit from a straight forward player like Danault, but ultimately he'd be better off with someone that can play with him on the right side, Armia might do better than Lekhonen but I dont want Lekhonen in the top 6.
