Post-Game Talk: Habs lose to Detroit. One team showed up ready, the others left the goalie to dry.

[The Real Timo]

On a funnier note: Dach is Seider's daddy

That made me lol.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I expect the kid to play more tomorrow. At the same time, the ‘vets not happy to play with a rookie’ story is a thing. Vets HATE playing with pups. They hate being what Price called a ‘babysitter’.

Never understood that mentality.

They were rookies once too, you'd think that you'd remember where you came from. Most NHL Careers aren't that long.

 

[Justin11]

You are not wrong but in comparison to several floating vets it does get frustrating to watch.

It’s frustrating to us the fans, no doubt, but it looks like management / coaches have devised a plan for the kid in order to ease him into the league.

 

[dinodebino]

That’s what you get from it? What it shows me is why one of them is already an elite player and the other is a question mark.

Yeah, Dach floats too much for my liking. He’s got skills, but he is avoiding the play instead of sticking his nose into it. Needs to look at Corey Perry videos.

 

[SlafySZN]

No, he’s elite because along with his great skill, he’s tough as nails and works his ass off. Dach has the skill but lacks the other two characteristics.

Where are you when Dach work his ass off in others team zones to protect the puck well and distribute it? it's not in your agenda so it doesn't count i guess.

Not my problem if a little funny push make you so mad.

 

[durojean]

10 minutes and no pp is not okay, might as well send him to Laval if it’s the way they want to handle him.

He might not be fully ready but he is already playing better than half of our « vets » Hoffman, Dvorak, Armia, Dadonov are all hot garbage and have completely checked out.

He is not playing better than them. He’s more protected.

 

[SlafySZN]

Not avoiding the play or contact at all. If he wasn't there, there would be no pressure in other team's zones for the most part other than Suzuki and Caufield.

Lol I’m clearly not the one taking offence here and I don’t have an agenda. I like Dach, but that video only shows us how soft he is for a 6’4 player, which is his biggest issue along with his butterfly shot.

I think he can do much more than that. He’s got a very astute hockey sense, you can see that. But aside from the boards play, he does not get involved too much in the dirty areas. He has the talent to be a very dangerous forward in the crease. Slick hands and brain. He needs to WANT to go there. He’s a pup. Let’s wait tho.

He is soft because he's going at it with a ''tough as nails'' player from your own words. Make sense.

 

[LaP]

The thing is the vets in this club are pretty terrible apart from a few exceptions

Which exception. Allen would be one if he was a number 2 but as a number 1 he's maybe not terrible but certainly not that far. Joel Edmundson and Matheson would be okay was 3rd and 4th guy but as 1st and 2nd they are closer to terrible than great. If you're number 1 is either Edmundson or Matheson you're in deep trouble.

 

[durojean]

Gallagher should never, and I mean NEVER ever ever ever
Ever, EVER

Ever ever ever
Be on a line with Slaf

Never, ever ever ever



Ever

Gallagher created a lot of chances for his line and hustled really hard tonight. Most of the time Slaf was nowhere to be seen with them and that in itself is a problem.

Your focusing too much on Slafs 2 flashes and not enough on the game overall.

I’d argue Dvorak is not a good center for Slaf. I’d rather a kid line.

 

[le_sean]

What f***ing video are you watching? He stands there and is pushed around and the only time he does anything back to him is when Seider is busy jumping the boards. He literally takes 5-6 shots and does nothing.

 

[LaP]

Mario Lemieux did not care. Winners don't give a shit about that. They win. Sadly our vets are not winners.

Very lucid comment. We need to remove Slaf to unleash Gallagher.

What are the dirty areas if not the board, the slot and in front of the net?

Lol i think you should just relax. The push was funny that's it, my god i didn't know it would agitate people that much.

 

[RealityBytes]

The game is lost ... OK, but the worst of the night is Carey Price who gets $10.5M per year from the Habs to sit and do nothing, skips the Habs game and instead watches a Toronto team play basketball.

 

[Hannibal]

What happenned to Guhle in the first?

 

[sandviper]

Terrible display tonight and won’t get any easier tomorrow with Caps home opener.

Allen was great!

Monty is going to get torched for 7.

 

[SwiftyHab]

So…Are we happy or sad for this loss?
A poll would be nice.

Who cares?

When you get injured or sick and are paid by your disability insurance, do you show up at work and watch your workmates work for 8 hours a day?

 

[Runner77]

Why did I watch that whole thing

Yeah, the slot. He’s got the talent and attributes for that.

 

[Runner77]

Took a hit and was removed for part of the period.

We don’t know the exact nature of his ailment at the time.

He’s gone. He’s enjoying his goodbye party. And I’m not paying his 10M, neither are the Habs, at least not the whole 10M. All is good.
