GDT: Habs at Sens (Now, Saturday, October 7th)

[Tyson]

Easy prediction up front and on D- Players who don't have to pass waivers didn't do enough to win a spot. Primeau may be the only player going on waivers.

Is Bustlofski looking good ? I had to go leave for drinks.

He's been pretty good. Even a crotchy old bastidge like you would be impressed.

 

[the]

Salivating at what he might be worth at the deadline

Nah, I know the popular opinion is to trade him but let's play out the season.

I anticipate he will be more valuable to keep than to trade.

 

[Hannibal]

Some day we will need a defensive zone system to be successful. Cannot play man to man lol

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Why does Burrows still has a job? PP can't still do shit.

 

[The Great Weal]

The offence looks pretty good. Defence and goaltending ehhhhhh... i'm expecting a lot of 6-4 games

I'm looking forward to next year with Mailloux/Hutson/Reinbacher coming in.

Celebrini-Suzuki-CC
Slaf-Dach-Newhook
Roy-Monahan-Anderson
RHP-Evans-Heineman

Matheson-Reinbacher
Guhle-Mailloux
Hutson-Xhekaj

Looked good, probably not as good as your drinks

 

[HabSgt]

LOL Stall or Urinal?

Yes

I wouldn’t risk to tie myself to such an injury prone player. That’s my thinking.

Not this year. We need another top 5 pick.

 

[HabSgt]

So 3-3 this preseason, much better then last year & possibly reflective of the upcoming season if we are a .500 team. My preseason prediction is 81 points. Should be fun to watch the kids grow into their roles. Looking forward to it.

 

[Runner77]

I'm so looking forward to seeing the "I heart Monahan" tattoo you'll be getting soon.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Haha....there you go @the that's perfect.

 

[Runner77]

He's been pretty good. Even a crotchy old bastidge like you would be impressed.

So @Habs has multiple crotches?

Or, is he merely crotchety?

He was stubborn last season. It was a dumb injury. It was preventable, Monahan should have been scratched much earlier preventing him from aggravating his injury.

The main thing is that his hips are holding up. That was the major concern last season and the primary reason Calgary traded him.

We need to play it safe but the upsides of him staying healthy are much higher than an mystery box draft pick.

Honestly, just his intangibles alone are worth it. We have almost 0 veterans who are actually good at hockey. They are all ex Bergevin rejects. Monahan is breath of fresh air in that aspect.

Or, is he merely crotchety?

Haha, he's one of my fav's. So neither would surprise me.

 

[Runner77]

Haha, he's one of my fav's. So neither would surprise me.

He doesn't take well to compliments but I can't disagree with that take.

 

[Habs Icing]

What a weird way to kiss. Lol

Kiss? That's how she feeds him.

He's the perfect rental mercenary.. dude is way too injury-prone to offer anything more than 1 year contracts..

But i would love to send him back to Calgary at TDL for another 1st

[Rapala]

Marty's "positionless" hockey is going to be a huge challenge for many our forwards.

 

[Hannibal]

Xhekaj will continue to live rent free kn DJ Smith head

Andlauer might have bought the Sens, but Xhekaj owns them.

Profound stuff @Adam Michaels

I really like @the ‘s argument… but I agree with you obv, I can’t risk it on an asset value perspective. The second he gets injured (if of course), he loses all of it because of his past.

He seems great with the guys and he’s a player out there, no doubt. Which does give me pause, but my mind is made up on it. We need to see our team as the team that’s going to be good in a certain amount of time and Money doesn’t fit that timeframe.
