Gotta get this one, the habs are terrible.
This is another one of those, if you are patient, it will come to you games. If we keep it tidy and don't give the Seats anything, they will surely give us plenty.

The question mark will be Woll. Hopefully he brings a sharp focused effort.

Really want Woll to play a great game and get his confidence back to a higher level.

Also can't stop wondering if Reeves is gonna give Arber X the cold shoulder again?
I feel the X factor is going to try and heat things up somehow, someway.

Aside from that scenario, I Just want the boys to play a solid game and get the win!

It doesn't matter what their record is, the Habs will show up on HNIC in Toronto.

Woll needs to be steady tonight.

I've been around a long time but I've never heard them called "the Seats" yet I instantly knew what you meant. Is this a new thing?

No... I had typed in Hans but felt adventurous and went with seats... I mean, it's pretty clear right? heh

Elite Discussion:

I say if Toronto can win this they'll put away MTL for the season.

MTL will be moving into the Loser's Race/Draft Lottery soon...

Eh, they're already there, this year, next and possibly the year after.

They've pulled together some nice pieces (Slaf, Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle and Hutson), but they've also made some bone headed moves - Dach looks like a no, and of course, 2023 draft, they get Newhook and Reinbacher instead of Michikov. That mild forward group suddenly looks scary if they have Michikov in there (13-4-6-10, 19 years old).

They'll draft top 5 2025 and 2026 and possibly 2027. They will not be wham, bam, pow!ing to a b3b of Willy-Marner-Matthews, lot of good it's done us.

Habs tank top is gold.

That McMann/Holmberg/NickRob line is primed to pop a few. They could all use a game with some bounces their way, all good players, buzzing yesterday….really thought they’d pot one that counted. But I’m a patient guy so I can wait til tonight.

Right on, right on.

Again, nice group and all - but who has 'it'?

I don't know what 'it' is and neither does anyone else, but we know who has it and who doesn't.

Willy has it for sure, Matthews has at least a little bit of it, and Mitch I fear doesnt have it, but could maybe develop it.

Who's the man who comes on and becomes a top-5 player at their position in the league and carries them, forget to a Cup, but to the playoffs?

They don't have it, 'it', or he/she/them, at this time, and they may one day - Michikov has definite 'it', but, where is the superstar?

Nylander does not have it or anything close to it defensively.
