GDT: Habs at Leafs (Now, Monday)

[RationalExpectations]

I haven't been paying much attention to training camp or too much of the preseason games but as even one of the Habs prospects and young players looked good at all?

Reinbacher, Trudeau and Roy, Beck to a lesser extent. I think Heineman Ylonen could look better if they put him with Monahan instead of Gally Pearson

 

[Rapala]

Jake Evans is not a good 4C. Neither Heineman nor Ylonen showing much either.

 

[Tuggy]

I’m usually not one of those “waive x veteren i don’t like”, but Gallagher is hard to watch

4 years left on his shit contract.

We're f***ed.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I’m usually not one of those “waive x veteren i don’t like”, but Gallagher is hard to watch

He's got a NMC thanks to dumbass Bergevin, so his useless ass isn't going anywhere until he gets hurt in 15 games.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Money Hands Monahan is the face of this franchise.

Sean Money

 

[Runner77]

Hey Max Domi, DeVentre says hi.

 

[windycity]

Sportsnet dunking on Slaf.


I bet Hughes and Gorton aren't smart enough to send him downIf he wasn't #1 overall I don't think this would be the same discussion. It's about his development, I'd put I'm in the AHL. Handling adversity is also part of maturing and developing as a player l (for anyone really). Ultimately I hope they're being honest with him and guiding him.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Man people love whining about prospects here. They think one meaningless game means Poehling will be a 1C or Greg Stewart will be our next great 4th line enforcer. No one can possibly fathom development taking time. He’s very clearly better than last year, but it’s not enough obviously. 39 total games, “he sucks”.

If you're referring to Slaf, then yes, people should be concerned.

The guy has some low ass hockey IQ.

He doesn't have to dangle players and score highlights reel goal after highlight reel goal, but for the love of f*** make your good plays outweigh your dumb plays.

 

[Agalloch]

Agreed. I LOVED Gallagher but now he's washed up.

 

[Colezuki]

Big dach guy

 

[Rapala]

Slaf still a work in progress but hey Tage Thompson took about 300 games to be the monster he is now! Not saying Slaf will be the same but some players need that 300 games to really see what they are

Tage Thompson showed great hockey instincts from the get go. I was remarking on him long before he broke out. Injuries delayed it as well.

Damn Greg Stewart, he had one heck of a 1st NHL game, I thought we had a steal in that guy.

Pretty sure I saw him create a golden opportunity that Dach should have had. Is Dach a loser for whiffing on that puck? It’s not the only chance he created tonight either.

Or are we referring to losing a man on the PP while backchecking. That’s never happened to a 19 year old forward before. Christ, Anderson does it every second shift.

 

[OnTheRun]

Money Hands Monahan is the face of this franchise.

Fitting, the team will be faceless by December.

 

[Rapala]

Monahan has to play top 6 period. How many times should this be reiterated.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Okay I'm caught up.

We look like crap tonight.

 

[Habssince89]

Monahan has incredible poise. Always so impressed by how calm he plays. keeping him wouldn't be the worst if we can't get the return we want....

 

[Naslundforever]

Jake Evans is not a good 4C. Neither Heineman nor Ylonen showing much either.

Evans has not has a pulse since he turned pro. Those 2 wing need to play crash and burn, not “shadow the blue shirts like a practice”

 

[Tyson]

Win the 3rd.

 

[Agalloch]

Evans has not has a pulse since he turned pro. Those 2 wing need to play crash and burn, not “shadow the blue shirts like a practice”

Evans will be expendable when we will have a young center ready to play in the NHL.

No, we're referring to:

Slafkovsky back checking hard (awesome) didn't force the Leafs player with the puck on the way back and had no idea where to go once he got back in the d-zone.

Made a nice move, but instead of dropping it back to Mailloux who was wide open, he tried to once again force something and the pass was blocked and the puck was lost.

That's just from the 2nd period, didn't see the 1st.

He's a good player and shows flashes, but he is not ready for the NHL. Send him to Laval.

 

[sampollock]

Slaf is so young, he needs seasoning

 

[the]

Can't waive him, he's got a NMC, so no demotion...

Freaking just send him home tabarnak. He's got no business being in the lineup.

 

[sampollock]

Gally is so done
Thanks MB

He needs for we the fans to focus on useless vets and leave the kids alone a bit.
