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

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Final roster Monday by noon ? 2pm ? 5 pm ?

The answer is below.

Tomorrow is the last chance teams have to place someone on waivers. Because by Monday 5PM ET, teams need to have their full rosters submitted to the league.

 

[JoelWarlord]

People think because he’s tall and big he should be stronger than most players in the league already but he still has his teenager strength. You can see the difference with Dach at 18-19 and Dach now at 22.

Same for Guhle, gonna be awesome when he starts crushing guys again like he did in junior

 

[Habaneros]

Lol you can see the puck marks too

He gave the net a black eye.....

 

[Habano]

I don't know but when your supposed tough guy gets hammered into another Galaxy by a Swede, isn't it time to choose a different profession? That's like Reaves being completely obliterated by an Elias Peterson hit

 

[Whitesnake]

If it would really be based on play, Armia would be on waivers.

Not all Swedes are created equal. Heineman has size, excellent speed and is a tough, aggressive S.O.B. Maybe even tougher than some Canadian players.

some people said in here ''Suzuki look awful in this preseason''

He was fine I don't want him to try hard in pre season anyways

Suzuki’s play has been mixed: but what you would expect of a star player in the preseason. What has been surprising is Suzuki’s strength on the puck and along the boards. That impressive strength was well displayed on Caufield’s game winning goal.

Sens fans have this little fantasy going on right now that we're celebrating this win over their ''C team'' like it's our Stanley Cup, didn't see any of that here but sure. They're also repeating ad nauseam that we're going to be bad this year as if it's a huge revelation and we didn't already know that.

A lot of anger and agitation on their part after a meaningless preseason game, the lack of confidence is real. Even when we suck and they're supposed to have a playoff team we're living in their heads rent-free which is pretty funny.

Sens fans have a huge inferiority complex even when their team are clearly better. That's strange (or not).

I'm gonna make some enemies by saying, "Yeah, people who don't know crap about hockey."

Oh wait I misread your post. Those people were not describing his play. They were ordering him to look awful.

 

[Rapala]

Can you elaborate? I'm legit curious since I feel many share your opinion but I don't see it that way.

I feel MSL has been doing fine. He has a more offensive approach. He's no tactician but I feel he compensate in other aspects.

Sure. We've been talking about this concept ever since it first came up last year. This is just another name for the same thing. "Interchangeability."
Somebody has to cover the space a "positionless" Dman creates when they jump. Not many of our players are comfortable or very good at doing it.

Caufield was a great example of how not to go about it. The premise is we want to create add man situations going forward. The reality is we actually created more odd man situations going the other way. Far too many against an AHL roster.

I said it before and I stand by it. We do not have the quality of player (particularly wingers) who can play this demanding style of hockey.

They had this in soccer for decades. It's called total football. I'm surprised it took so long to come here.

If it would really be based on play, Armia would be on waivers.

We only need to waive one forward. I haven't watched enough, bu has Ylonen been better than Armia?

I would waive Armia over Ylonen purely based on the fact that Armia has no future here because of his age, while Ylonen at least possibly could. But based purely on pkay, I don't know who has been the worst forward.

yeah he looks faster and stronger. I haven't watched a ton in a while but I feel like it's been since Junior where I saw him do one of those change the angle snipes. he was really good at those in junior.

 

[vHAB]

When they say "X gonna give it to you". I didn't think they meant the net, what a shot.

X gonna give it through ya

 

[Naslundforever]

Matheson makes the habs look like a good team.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Hey now!

I thought this may have been another Lauren Boebart episode

Armia has been the worst forward by far. Even Roy, Farrell, Mesar, Beck showed more use than him. Literally hasn't done a thing of use.

Basu is right, that post yesterday is quintessential Armia, took a lot of skill but ended up in nothing.

 

[FrankMTL]

Matheson makes the habs look like a good team.

He definitely makes a huge difference when he's on the ice, especially on the PP. He's skilled, fast and smart, but he's also calm and doesn't panic. When he's on his game, he's beautiful to watch.

Oh I know that, hence the sarcasm emoji. That post was specifically for certain lurkers on our board.

Habs will have a fun team this year and hopefully the goaltending doesn't let them down. No goalie looked good in the pre season.

Hopefully it does so we get progression from the forwards but still get to pick high enough for Catton
