the lesser suckiest team won
after the first 10 min of hockey it was pretty hard on the eyes,typical Marty hockey.Then there's Molson's comment the other day " Ce serait une erreur de ne pas suivre le plan" what's the plan ? bore us to death until Marty graduates coaching school

I suspect Laine will take below market value, long term to stay in Montreal- a city that works for him and he wants to win hence he wanted to join the rebuild.
Banking on a player to take below market is always a little risky, but I hope you are right!

For a half a second, I thought Plekanec came out of retirement. Suzuki and the ‘stache.
The lack of turtleneck was the only thing missing.

The Laine - Dach - Slaf line has been getting a decent amount of chances the last few games. I think we'll get some interesting 5 v 5 production out of them. But they have to tighten up a bit defensively, as was expected.

He was ass on the first Duck's goal, which was caused by a brutal turnover by Dach. Didn't notice him a ton since, which, in his case, is a good thing.

If this team had a healthy Monahan we would be in a playoff spot right now, that's how weak the East is.
Laine mentioning his 5 on 5 play needing work was cool, his linemates should be that accountable for their crappy play.
Hutson reminds me of prime Patrick Kane with his shiftiness and great hands, I can see 80-100-point seasons in the not-too-distant future. He is brilliant and his defensive game is getting better. I was worried he would suffer because of his size but it's the opposite, it's actually working in his favor.
Heineman is a strong kid who doesn't shy away from the tough going, he and Beck will probably be a third line force in the future.

I agree. Most snipers are like that (besides like Matthews). Again, love Laine and love the idea of re-signing him but I'm seeing 8 years x pretty large figures being thrown out around here after 4 games where he's gotten 3 PP goals.Laine is a very hot & cold player. There will be times when he goes 5+ games without a point and then explodes for 5 goals in the next 5. I'm a little concerned as well about the 5 on 5 production, but hopefully he gets going soon. He's fun to watch and that shot is always awesome and puts you to the edge of your seat
He can be a PP merchant for all I care, as long as it's consistent. As you mentioned though, if those dry up (which.. they probably will at some point unless our PP is just consistently amazing from now until the end of the year) then I'd like to see some sort of impact 5 on 5 as well.
I need to reiterate so people don't get mad: I'm extremely happy where he's at right now and how he's doing since coming back. I just think it's a little early to be discussing 8 year deals until we get a fuller picture.
Slaf was very happy about Dach's goal, apparently it's all he was talking about after the game.

It's all Molson's money and I am not concerned how much he has to pay. The concern is that it's not another Slaf situation where you pay 4M per goal.
Yeah but Slaf is still on his ELC. There is no Slaf situation quite yet. Give it time.

I was sure were going to give up the winner in the final 3 minutes, man we got lucky.
At least Dach got his xmas present, I hope he paid for Dostal's supper!!

I appreciated the look of relief on Dach's face after his goal and how happy his line mates were for him. Hopefully this can get him going. It's been a struggle for him this year.

it's been four games and things could change but I agree with you. If he feels appreciated and wanted, I'm sure he'll want to stay to avoid reliving what's happend in Columbus and, to a lesser extent, Winnipeg.
I've loved what I've seen so far. It's not just the goals. He's harsh on himself and wants to improve. He wants to be better than what he is right now and it's encouraging. If he can avoid being totally useless when he's gonna slump, it'll be a great thing.

Coaches will overcoach that too.................................remember when they first changed it to 3 on 3 it was so much fun to watch!!
It still can be at times, but the skating it out, and passing it back has definitely ruined the excitement.
