Probably just the app.

So the one thing they had going for them f***ing sucks already.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Stupid Belleville scored to make it 3-1.

How is Perreault on the pp ? You go from the ECHL to the PP in the next league up. How ??

 

[Tyson]

Laval so far so good

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, at least Laval is winning. 3-1 after 2.

I gave up on the Canadiens game.

 

[montreal]

Did they say yet why they didn't show a single replay until the 2nd Davidson goal, was the guy who does that stuck in traffic?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Is it just me, but why does the time clock show 2nd period: 0:00? Lol

 

[Tyson]

Simoneau is simply entertaining to watch.

 

[schwang26]

I see they still haven’t figured out the clock

Why are they taking dumb penalties with 10 minutes left? Come on boys.

Seeing him at camp, I had a feeling Davidson would be the next Evans type late rounder to end up a bottom 6er for Habs.

He's a winner plain and simple.

Davidson is a much different type of player than Evans.

While Evans is a defensive-first type of player who relies on above average skating to neutralize opponents and be effective on the penalty kill, Davidson’s game lives and dies on his offensive production. Davidson, who lacks Evans’ level of skating ability, plays a much heavier game and has an excellent shot that makes him a threat to score from anywhere in the offensive zone.

In his short tenure in Laval, Davidson’s unexpected level of play and production has presented Hughes with a numbers problem: with so many promising forwards on the cusp of making the team, is there room for Davidson? I would suggest that if Davidson offensive production continues it will be very difficult for Hughes to not include Davidson in his long term plans, particularly with the leadership traits and physicality that Davidson exudes.

 

[WeThreeKings]

How was Dobes?

 

[Rapala]

Simoneau is simply entertaining to watch.

Why is it we are always blessed with players who have the heart of a lion and measure 5 foot nothing.
Looking at our 6'2'' plus guys in the top six (Habs) who lack the killer instinct gets me down for some reason.

I almost want to relegate them to a fourth line tell them to forget about finesse and to go out and learn how to take and use their bodies

If memory serves, Evans was a pretty average skater in the NCAA. He didn’t really acquire his speed until his 2nd or 3rd year with the Habs I think

Your memory is correct, Evans was a below average skater who somehow made it a strength as he got older. Hats off to him for working to improve his skating to a point where he is now considered a terrific skater.
