Post-Game Talk: Game 9: Canadiens beat Canucks /s

[Spectaculard]

Because the game was a blowout and there was no need to play our better players

I guess but...maybe ease him in a little..

 

[JianYang]

Does Perry have to go through waivers?

If he plays 10 games or is with the main club for one month, then yes.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Mete didn't look very good tonight. I hope he gets another game to show what he can do, but at this point, he just doesn't bring anything elite and his size is a detriment for the overall game that Montreal defensemen play.

It's too bad. He is quality depth, but at his age and where he is in his career, I can understand him not wanting to sit. His career is on the line. I hope he can be accomodated quickly enough. Hopefully for another defenseman who won't mind sitting/being sent to the taxi squad.

i thought he got better as game went along, and based on what we've seen from other teams this year, he could easily play in vancouver, edm or ottawa's top 6

Does Perry have to go through waivers?

He has 5 games left without needing waivers, after the 6th from now he has to

 

[Runner77]

Well played team and HFHabs. We'll see if I have the stamina to pull another 2.30am finish tomorrow.

Props to Petry, Lehks and the 4th line - the whole team outworked Vancouver all over the ice and won the game in 40 minutes.

Mete showed his strengths and weaknesses clearly, still #7 on the depth chart for me.

Julien's system on full display.

You weren't kidding -- you're really in England. Man, really great to have you with us!

Even if ... no one got the cricket references you so aptly described.

 

[The Real Timo]

Perry better not end up on waivers again because someone will definitely take him!

Rough night for the 3rd pair. Kulak back please.

You know it's bad when you want Kulak back in the lineup. Ouch.

Ok, thanks. Gotta make sure he sits before either of those hit

 

[Runner77]

Do you really believe Mete asked for a trade....or is it just media hype?

His agent did and his agent works for him, so he asked for one.

 

[The Real Timo]

He has 5 games left without needing waivers, after the 6th from now he has to

I really don't understand how this whole thing works. So what the team cannot have a couple of extra bodies without subjecting them to waivers every time they get dropped from a lineup for a few games?

 

[Ozmodiar]

I know it's a back-to-back game but does Price come back tomorrow night? He's rested and Canucks just can't seem to solve him.

Nope
We have our backup deluxe.

 

[The Real Timo]

i thought he got better as game went along, and based on what we've seen from other teams this year, he could easily play in vancouver, edm or ottawa's top 6

Mete for another top 6 winger to replace Drouin on Anderson's line.

10 games or 30 days is the rule.

If Armia is still out 2 weeks from now I'd give Frolik a couple games.

 

[calder candidate]

Why did our 7th D get almost 18 min in his first game? Makes no sense.

Pretty sure they are just spreading the ice since we lead all night... Why over use top player in garbage time.

[Phil Parent]

Shows how deep the team is that Frolik is only the 2nd injury replacement.

 

[JianYang]

Price again tomorrow?

That would make no sense. They grabbed allen for this very reason.

So far, price has played 6, and Allen should play his 5th tommorow. Now if the habs were like 2-6 or something like that to start the year, then you could see a reason to start price, but there's just no point right now.

 

[Runner77]

Two years ago, who would’ve predicted a global pandemic would give a 24th place team a chance to make the playoffs on a gimmick. Or that we’d be playing in a 7 team conference that’s pretty weak. The answer is nobody.

That story is still being written.

Only the preface has been completed and it's looking damn good. Maybe only someone who is taking NZT from the movie Limitless, can top it.

 

[Runner77]

Didn't watch the game tonight.. they win. Your welcome boys. I don't want and they win.

We missed you, bud. Don't be a stranger.

 

[montreal]

Why did our 7th D get almost 18 min in his first game? Makes no sense.

think about it, 6-1 game, playing another game in less then 24 hours, 4 games in 6 days. so it makes a lot of sense.

 

[JianYang]

I really don't understand how this whole thing works. So what the team cannot have a couple of extra bodies without subjecting them to waivers every time they get dropped from a lineup for a few games?

They can leave Perry on the main roster, as the habs do have open spots, but those count towards the cap.

 

[Big Empty]

How are you gonna take Perry out of the lineup?

Maybe it's Byron that goes who knows?

Same top 9, Lehk - Evans - Armia as the 4th

 

[Runner77]

This 3rd round pick will slot in nicely if we have an injury.

Exactly. We need to get past the noise that his agent was making or might keep making at any point.

Nah you're right doesnt make sense. However, he didn't have much work to do tonight (albeit the shots were poured on later). Wondering if he wants to go again, not sure how a goalie like Price who is used to playing a lot and is playing 50% right now reacts

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Guys, this team is... good
I don't really remember having that thought before
