GDT: GAME 9: HABS @ VEGAS | Vegas, baby! | Mon. Oct. 30, 2023, 10PM -- RDS, TSN2, TSN690, 98.5FM

[StCaufield]

Slaf has not shown any vision, it's like he wants to get rid of the puck as quickly as possible without any regard to a proper play that could lead to a goal. I know it's early in his career and season but this isn't very reassuring.

Do you think that him getting tombstoned all year last year made him fear possession?

 

[larek]

Were still hanging in there despite everything.

Matheson IMO has to be injured still from last game and having some sort of discomfort

He's had discomfort for alot of the season
Never see a player whiff on passes so much

 

[SlafySZN]

Lmao all you do is motorboat the guy. He’s shit all season

If you want to get fixated on everything he does, especially tonight, Go for it if it makes you feel good.

 

[Gravity]

What's happening with Slaf must be concerning to the front office.

 

[Pomee]

Michael Carcone, a no-name playing for Arizona who happens to have a hat trick tonight, is a 27 years old with less NHL games under his belt than Slaf and more points (with over double the goals).

Are you really comparing 27 years old with 19 one?
To nemyslis vazne ty dilino!

 

[The Real Timo]

Slaf looks a lot like KK early on.

KK was better... hands down.

 

[Jack Skellington]

You don't seem to remember KK's 2nd season very well.

I remember it very well. That’s still 5x better than this.

 

[HuGo Sham]

We need guys who can win battles along the boards too. Maybe the least talked about struggle this team has

sorry was watching second. 100% agree. Caufield is not scoring from the dot on the PP vs a team as good and big as Vegas is in their own end. Ain't happening. If no one is going to the net and looking for greasy goals, it's 100% loss tonight. you can see the difference in a well-oiled machine like the Knights. One f***ing bonehead play by kovacevic and it's in the net - on their second shot of the period! Too much spacing for the 5 habs on the ice.
This is why the habs need to get bigger up front and be patient with the quality on D. We aren't scoring again tonight unless guys want to get in front of Hill and screen or look for rebounds. Caufield isn't scoring from the circle with the goalie looking right at him.

 

[Rapala]

Yeah Barron I would say has a better shot overall and Guhle's is just as heavy as Xhekaj's so I don't get it really

It's Matheson spot he should be taking. f***ing Bullshit Heirarchy

 

[larek]

I think Habs are playing their most complete game of the season as a team so far tonight. They could still end up losing this game, but at least after 40 minutes, they're playing their a complete game.

Offense Mickey.mouse up to now
Power play not much power

he does the frustrated head shake after every shift... that's not good body language eh?

 

[River Meadow]

in b4 someone posts article of MSL saying everything is fineeeeeeeeee

 

[Riddick412]

I felt the Habs were out playing VK most of the first and second with minor moments of breakdown. Unfortunate score considering. No doubt the crowd called the penalty for the 6on5 goal, it is the NHL's team after all.

Man the special teams continue to suck

Yes.

I want him to succeed. Not all first overall players need to be in the NHL right away. There’s something psychological with him that needs to be nipped in the bud

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Agreed I think they look like a real hockey team tonight

Doesn't feel like the right time to shit on MSL but I do wonder what his shelf life is before players start seeing the motivational speeches as cringe, I'm sure some already do

He's a party animal and we're playing in Vegas

 

[SlafySZN]

With Matheson out it probably would’ve been Guhle or Barron. Sad

 

[The Great Weal]

Slaf has not shown any vision, it's like he wants to get rid of the puck as quickly as possible without any regard to a proper play that could lead to a goal. I know it's early in his career and season but this isn't very reassuring.

That was the reason why we passed on Wright, because he seemed like he didn't want to take control of the game. I don't see Slaf "wanting it" so far in the NHL.

 

[The Real Timo]

He is supposed to say that...

Vegas has a lot of turds on the team. Cassidy is a great coach.

 

[zx81]

I'll forever remember Dvo as the most vanilla player on the most vanilla Arizona squad ever

Dvo is actually a robot. He was not injured but broken and we were waiting for a piece from China.

 

[Dirby Kach]

This D is gonna be gross in a few years with possibly Reinbacher, Guhle, Hutson, Mailloux, Xhekaj, Barron.
I don’t see Harris as part of the future and Matheson , Kovacevic are just kinda placeholders.

 

[Gravity]

How long until the coaches change the 2nd line? Put Newhook back on wing and let Monahan centre them.

 

[River Meadow]

That was the reason why we passed on Wright, because he seemed like he didn't want to take control of the game. I don't see Slaf "wanting it" so far in the NHL.

Oh god.

You're right.

That hurts.

tbf Slaf does NOT belong in the NHL at all, and even he probably realizes it.

Sad situation.

 

[No More Subban]

Michael Carcone, a no-name playing for Arizona who happens to have a hat trick tonight, is a 27 years old with less NHL games under his belt than Slaf and more points (with over double the goals).

ready to make that trade though?
