It's taken awhile. But I love how MSL has slowly fed Slaf ice time. Some players seem to learn slower than others. I don't think Slaf is a quick learner. So MSL slowly feeding him ice time and information, really seems to be working for him.

Part of the reason I don't want to get rid of Andy is his heart. You could tell this slump was really eating on him. Hope tonight is the start of him fully regaining his confidence.

Dach has now lost 2 years of development. He was developing well. I'm pretty confident neither player will be close to, or above 100 points in their career.
Newhook and Dach could add to a group of fairly good players to give the team depth. Might be the new way to go with how the league is, but that said the Habs need that high draft pick with a better probability of being that high-end, game breaking offensive player.
Agreed. This road trip will tell the tale though. Most of the west coast teams are crap so if they lose most of them they aren't going anywhere. But if they win the majority of them Hughes may not want to jettison players who can actually contribute.
Well he didn't on the assist he did get these things have a way of evening out. That line is better defensively than at anytime I can remember since Toffy left.
It's only when they are stuck out there too long that they run into trouble and it's often a D turnover that does it.

Obviously the only instance of him smiling come from after scrums , signs of an absolute madmanI still have this picture of Dvorak smiling in my computer. From a Screenshot of the game no-less since it was the first time I saw him smile ever. Didn't think it would also be the last.

He definitely looks like he's taken the next step. At this point, it seems that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg.

No place like the Bell Centre. What a beautiful moment.

Good to see. Slaf no longer looks like a deer in the headlights on the ice and is improving every game. If he keeps using his size to his advantage, like he's been doing lately, and he keeps playing like this the points will eventually start coming.
Nice way to close out the year on home ice.
Road trip is really a 3 game trip, xmas break, then 4 game sun trip.
I hope they can build on this to win 2/3 before Xmas... Would be nice for the team to get that small break riding on a high note.

Its crazy how he went from 0 to 100 in a matter of a week. Insane development.
Ive been watching him since 2021, he hasnt shown that level of play IMO. The potential was there for sure but he hadnt shown anything hes showing right now.
I just need him to start wiring snipes, now

Is that how long before they don't change it ?
I always assumed it was a day. Basically if on Monday it's still there it's good.

To all the players who want to avoid playing in Montreal, well maybe playing in Montreal is not so bad after all huh. Andy had an absolutely awful start to his season but the fans at the BC never turned on him and still supported him.

I'm not disagreeing with you. But right now, I'd rather be the Habs than the Sens, Sabres, Blue Jackets or Ducks who are picking high almost every year, have game breaking talent, but the team is still at the bottom.

Agreed, he'd show flashes of what he could do. Sadly they were few and far between. As you say though, in the last week or two. It's like he's a much better player. A lot more consistent.
Yes he definitely seems to be overpassing, when he should be shooting more. That will come though, my confidence in Slaf is going through the roof.
I was very happy to see Guhle play a much better game he ended up +4 on the night while Matheson was -3 after 14 minutes in the third period alone.
