GDT: Game 68: Canadiens @ Oilers | Tues. March 19, 9 pm ET | SNW, TSN2

[Non Player Canadiens]

I don't really care about playmaking if it comes at the cost of goalscoring. He's getting paid 8 million to be a lethal sniper. 40 goals and 65 points is a lot different than 25 goals and 65 points, you can find the latter a lot more easily for cheaper.

disagree, points are points dawg. he's being paid all that money to contribute, whether it's goals, assists, or anything else.

CC is a I don't know

 

[HabbyGuy]

When Armia is your best forward night in and night out, there's lots of criticism to go around.

It's just easier to dump on Matheson and Cole I guess.

 

[Mrb1p]

Did you not read my post? I’m only talking about offence Jesus Christ have another beer lol. Matheson is a stud in the O zone but a complete idiot when he over handles the puck. His power play production alone makes him worth every penny and he’s probably a discount

He has 14 points at 5v5 and Guhle also has 14 points. The rest of his points are OT/3v3 or PP.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Suzukis having a breakout season with Cole on his wing, so is Slaf. Theres one excuse for Cole and its the shoulder, anything else and its just being pathetic.

The league has never seen scoring this high in my life time and im 31. We need goals and we need them now.

We don’t need them now.

We need them three years from now. Cc having an off year is actually helping us.

You know the feeling when you love a team and there is this one player who just suck out any fun and joy from you.
This is Matheson for me.

 

[The Great Weal]

I mean youre also a Mathopologist, so youre no better.

Yeah saying that Matheson is playing too much is me being his biggest fan. Also 23 year old 8 million dollar Caufield is the same as 30 year old Matheson making less than 5 as a filler.

 

[Riddick412]

EDM legit contenders this year imo
Vast difference to Leafs or Panthers.

 

[Gravity]

Why was Slaf playing with Gallagher? Did the 1st line get broken up? I just tuned in.

 

[Skip Bayless]

The oilers are trash.

Matheson sucks the soul out of me

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Not a great period from CC. Let's hope they're much better in the 3rd! At least get 1

um 1st line is suddenly dominant and Cole gets no credit? that's the part I don't get.

Suzuki and Slaf are having great goalscoring seasons (relative to expectations) BECAUSE teams are prioritizing coverage on Caufield.

I called it when they were like 1-10 that they will be cup finalists this year.

 

[OldCraig71]

Caufield is nullified along the boards every single time.

 

[sampollock]

I can't tell you all how bad this is...
No talent, no pride
Your coach is fine, piss me off

Finding a 40 goalscorer is a lot harder than a 25 goalscorer. The kid is supposed to score goals. 20 goals at 8 million for a sniper who will never be good defensively is not good.

You excuse matheson a lot, Ive noticed. Youre labeled a Mathopologist by the Mrb1p bureau of labels.

 

[Rozz]

it has definitely been a boring kind of game to watch.. but if we escape with no point gained in the standings, it will be a success... though, I always root for some Slaf/CC/ Suzuki points.. so it would be nice for them to get something before the games end.

I don’t get this.

I think he’s one of the most entertaining players we have. I don’t care so much about his mistakes because we’re rebuilding anyway. His offense is fun to watch and the man can skate. I think he’s actually fun to watch.

But if we were a contender? I’d have a stroke.

that's true, but let's just disagree. im not worried for Caufield at all.

let's see what he can do next year in a proper Top 6

 

[Skip Bayless]

Caufield will always be this player guys. The problem is he's not scoring 40-50.

All the bad stuff is amplified when he's a 20-25 goal scorer.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Their goalies will likely collapse in the playoffs. Canucks and Jets have far better goaltending.

Yup, he's done, he's officially a 20 goal scorer from now on.

Best trade him while we can.

Hes the clear weak link on the line.
