Pre-Game Talk: Kraken @ Habs Oct 29 7pm ET

[Monsieur Miz]

Thank god Suzuki never gets injured because without him, don't think we'd win a single game.

 

[Tyson]

That's going to be new #1 line.

Gonna break his leg so bad you can see the bone though his sock tonight because of this post, thanks

So I saw MSL's reasoning of putting Slaf on line 2. That's desperate move to get Newhook/Armia going it seems.

Go Slaf Go! I guess.

 

[Habssince89]

Slaf running a line is good because he is an excellent passer, and I think Newhook and Armia could benefit from Slaf putting it on a platter for them. Newhook and Slaf had chemistry before too. I would rather have someone other than Armia rounding things out, but I guess we can't have everything.

Adding chocolate to oil and water ain't gonna do shit.

Marty needs to give up the ghost.

 

[Team_Spirit]

I hope Slaf is 100% and not rushed back on painkillers. Same with Guhle.

And if you think Suzy is always 100%.....

 

[The Real Timo]

habs should put Yoel at center! Just like every other aspect of the game, he will be a natural.

Newhook is useless at center.

 

[Redux91]

Waiting for two things:
- MSL to accept Newhook Armia ain't gonna happen/
- MSL to realize the chemistry is Slaf-Suzuki not Suzuki-Caufield, and put Dach with Caufield.

You can easily notice NObody sets up Caufield for his shots better than Dach too the last 2 years (3*)

So it's infuriating it hasn't been tried as a 5 on 5 duo yet

I think Caudield - Dach - Newhook could work
And then Slaf - Suzuki can get Laine when it's time imo

Bah

Interesting concept.

Slaf vs Shane for international supremacy!

Also can we string 3 consecutive Ws??

DUDE!!!! How big of a jinx can this possibly be? Go rinse your mouth with soup!

Controversial opinion: it's not the end of the world if Slafkovsky is on the Newhook line.

Newhook is useless at center.

I heard that Armia has changed the way he wants his given name pronounced, I kid you not.

The former artist known as Yoelle, now wants to be called Joel (pronounced “Jole” with a hard “J”).

I don’t care, Yoelle suits him better. The name is more compatible with a player who gets bounced to the AHL.

I sense no respek toward the great Yoel.

If he gets hurt, we know who to kill.

I hope , besides a solid win, that the fans show class to Wright.

Tough to say if Newhook is useless at center. We've got him with scrubs.

Personally, I prefer him at wing but he'd look a lot better at center if his wingers were Laine and Roy or Slafkovsky.

 

[Runner77]

This board would have been a nightmare if we would have drafted Wright. He hasn’t really broken out. Definitely not the big number 1 center we were expecting yet.

Hughes will pick him up eventually, as a reclamation project.

For the late first.

As long as people temper their expectation. He wont do 60 points playing with Newhook and Armia.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

No GDT up yet?

 

[Archijerej]

A quick glance at Kraken roster tells me they are a deep, 4-line team.

They are also coming off a 3-game losing streak against mostly strong opponents.

I've got a feeling this one ain't gonna be easy.
