GDT: Leafs at Habs (Now, Saturday)

[SlafCaufield]

What are his massive skill? Being tall? Bro is scared of the board like Latendresse was and look where is Lantredresse nowdays

he is strong, he has a hammer of a shot and he drives the net hard

we need a guy that will drive the net and crash and bang on a line with Cole the same way Lindros opened up space for Leclair

 

[Justin11]

Norris is on Ottawa not Buffalo

He was referring to the trophy

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

And if he wouldn’t be you’d cry even more so really what do you want? him not getting better?

I wish he could be better but the tools are not there. Being tall is not a skill

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

0-1 against AHL team

What ?

Toronto is winning, the AHL team is losing.

 

[Redux91]

There's only *1* person who can fix this PP and that man's name is Lane.
Just.one.more.year.

 

[Mrb1p]

so we're not trading him for Zegras then?

One for one? I would blow up the BC.

If they added their first? I might think about it.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I think that's pretty universally spoken of that we have a top 10 pool but our strength is depth rather than talent. There's going to be a lot of these D prospects and forwards playing depth roles across many teams. I think most of us would rather have a talent like Bedard with nothing than what we have too.

they've accumulated a ton of picks over the next two drafts with several stiffs coming off the books in the next couple of years...I think HuGo will make the appropriate moves to find additional, elite talent up front. Grabbing one of the top 4 forwards next draft wouldn't hurt.
Imagine Eiserman and Caufield up front

 

[SlafCaufield]

I said Dahlin is a Norris candidate this season.

nice try

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

How many times he crashes the net tho? Gallagher did this years ago and had success, why not slaf?

 

[Habs4Life]

Be nice to see something special.for.once

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No Buffalo is absolutely stacked with prospects. We are stacked with mediocre prospects. They are ahead hands down.

Right all we need to do is miss the playoffs 11 years in a row.

 

[SlafySZN]

I wish he could be better but the tools are not there. Being tall is not a skill

Ah yeah, right. If you can’t see the skills and tools, can’t do nothing for you.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Monty rusty that period. His positioning is off.

 

[HabSgt]

Took a social media break before we go 1-8-1 to start season, and 0 for 60 on the PP. Mojo is now balanced, and my body is ready for a new season of pain, loss & watching Gallagher finding new ways to injure himself.

Look on the bright side for the power play, they will be 60 for 60 on the drop back pass.

 

[Mrb1p]

Im pretty sure if St Louis took his fingers out of his nostrils he could plug Guhle on the PP and wed have actual success but lets keep using anything else there instead

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Monty is the king of letting in a stinker in the first and then going god mode

 

[SlafCaufield]

honestly i could see us trading for Zegras early next week if anaheim keeps playing games with him

you just know Cole is in his ear right now talking about recreating some of that magic from USDNDP and WJC in la belle province

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Be nice to see something special.for.once

I am special

 

[dinodebino]

it doesn't make sense to me. I wouldn't put Mesar with 2 guys that can't score in the AHL as what kind of test is that, what do you learn from that as it's not like he's likely to ever really be in the situation long term in the NHL if he were to make it.

If you see a player is struggling with confidence, no matter when you need to work with them as they aren't seasoned vets that know how to handle this.

But the Habs have been making many poor decisions with development over the years so every little mistake gets highlighted more until we start to see these guys do in fact know how to develop these kids or not.

I’ll have to say that MANY minor league coaches in any sport do the same. Football is probably the one where you see it the most.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I too have been underwhelmed by Slaf, but can we really already close the door on this kid? he has 40 games of NHL experience is 19 and adjusting to the size of the rink and pace of the NHL.
I've resigned myself to the fact he (probably) won't be a star, but a 30-35 goal scoring bulldozer on the wing ain't bad

 

[Tyson]

Habs better hope they get decent goaltending this season. Or maybe not getting decent goaltending is a good thing...

 

[Eco]

That return might be crazy though. I'm not sure if I want him, as I do fear that he's more of a highlight guy then and night after night top player.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Who would you trade him for?

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Right all we need to do is miss the playoffs 11 years in a row.

IMO if you guys can hang around .500 and get hot late you have a shot for a wild card. But guys like Slaf need to figure it out soon, or it may be another long season.
Personally I hope the habs are in the mix with the Sabers, Sens and Wings

 

[McGees]

The only person that can fix the pp is Mr. Burrows. He just needs a few more years practice.
