Pre-Game Talk: Habs vs Stars - 1:00 pm - Feb 10th

[MarkovsKnee]

Yeah, Newhook is back tomorrow. I wonder if he plays center then? He's so much better as a winger.

I know it will be hard for MSL to sit out the vet but I can't stand watching Pearson, take him out and put in Pezzetta, at least Pez works his ass off.

Yeah, I really hope we're able to trade Pearson by the TDL.

The best I can see happening:
To Contender: Pearson 50% retained
To 3rd party: 6th round pick for retaining 50% of his salary
To MTL: Nothing

We should need that last retention spot for another trade.

Yeah, Newhook is back tomorrow. I wonder if he plays center then? He's so much better as a winger.

With Condotta going back to Laval, I think he will have to...

Need to trade Pearson, Armia, or Anderson (50% retained) ASAP.

Evans, gignac, Pezz... please don't chagne that center lineup

Well, you can distract your stress with hockey. Get some snacks. Spend Sunday watching Habs, then pre-game show then Super Bowl.

Seeing the Habs get useless pts in OT will not help haha.

Because you just know that is what's gonna happen.

 

[Adriatic]

Only if people keep watching whatever she is on. Stop watching and she is a nobody.

Oh look it's that simple

American Footbowl 3 to 6 seconds of action then you wait

No wonder they need kilos of comfort food to get through this torture.

Slaf at the casino? I guess he really is like Jagr.

 

[OldCraig71]

I thought that Newhook was out for 3 months.

I thought that Newhook was out for 3 months.

I believe it was 10-12 weeks so he's closer to the 10 I guess.

I would put Anderson with Newhook. I think Andy would find similar chemistry that he did playing with Byron. Newhook can play Anderson's narrow style and it might actually lead to goals when Anderson isn't shooting all the time. Evans can play extra defensively and cover their rushes.

I think Armia with the Gignac line might be good as well. Have Gignac be F1, win the puck and get it to Armia so they can start a legit offensive zone cycle.

I like your fourth line. I think Ylonen could learn from Pearson, and Pezzetta is having a solid year in his role.

They only said that to make the new training/ med staff hires, look good.

 

[rik schau]

Two matches at a cracker of a time, might get to see it proper. No drama and no reason to tune in but always keen to see how the youngins be doing.

Not every high ankle sprain is created equal really

Some people heal better than others (that schmuck pacioretty comes to mind)

Usually a high ankle sprain is like 9 weeks give or take 2 weeks
So it's been lining up pretty good too

The thing of it is with those usually is it 'can linger' after the time table too

Evans, gignac, Pezz... please don't chagne that center lineup

Switch Armia and Ylonen

Habs have only 12 forwards right now. Condotta has been sent down to Laval. Gally will be back in a week or so.

1pm..... I'll be in Hawaii.... so... 8am! LOL!

I am already there! On the Big Island. Thinking of a hockey game at 8am is just weird.

There is actually a rhythm to the game - - if you ignore the painfully long commercial breaks. Run a play, while the team huddles show a replay, then show either a 2nd replay or discuss some relavent stat, then show the teams at the line for the next play. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Hemm hemmm, just the bust version of it
