GDT: Leafs at Habs (Now, Saturday)

[abo9]

Slaf and Dach are having rough games but they looked great last game. Suzuki is having an awful game but we know who he is so no big deal, same with Caufield.

Newhook looks great. Guhle looks great. Heineman looks great. Reinebach I haven’t noticed really which isn’t a bad thing either.

Reinbacher looks good.

I admit to have a difficult time conciliating that all these guys supposedly are having a great game, yet the team keeps losing.

I know, its preseason. But its preseason for our opponents too. Lucky bounces?

They need more defenseman.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

We are about to show Philadelphia and Anaheim that battling for the last place aint easy against us

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Missing the net is fine. It's going to happen. Not scoring, or whatever is fine.

Doing low IQ plays is very concerning and needs to be mended.

Hopefully it's just this game and him feeling pressure, trying for force things as the game is going exceptionally poorly for the Habs, but low IQ plays can't be a thing, especially when it's back-to-back and he almost did it a 3rd time, but passed it off and then ended up missing the net leading to the goal.

Maybe his 3rd shot caught something and deflected up, or he just got under it too much, or whatever. It's the two previous plays that are just bad and how at times he looks unsure where to go. He might need to start in the A.

Give and go resulted in a nice one timer. It didn’t work out but he had some chances. You’re being way too hard here. He created some offense there. Yeah maybe he forced the play a bit but he got it back to the point and then let go of a wicked one timer. Probably our best PP chance of the night.

 

[G0bias]

Slaf taking bad decisions he wasn't taking last game.

 

[Jaynki]

Based on what we see right now....he should. Not even sure if Barron would make Trois-Rivières....

At this point he should play in the semi-pro LNAH goon league... with Slaf lololol

 

[LV426]

They need more defenseman.

No worries, they'll get more next draft.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Everything is bad about this team. The PP is epically bad though.

Nice to see they are working on solutions such as;

Armia/Gally yesterday
Norlinder tonight

 

[JeffreyLFC]

No worries, they'll get more next draft.

I have no doubt.

 

[River Meadow]

We are about to show Philadelphia and Anaheim that battling for the last place aint easy against us

Our scrubs will also get hot enough at points during the year to ensure we're out of contention to grab a WOW type prospect at the draft.

 

[SlafySZN]

Slaf taking bad decisions he wasn't taking last game.

It happens. He’s learning, won’t be perfect every game.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I legit think we should send slaf in the AHL. Alongside Barron , Norlinder , Mailloux and the leftovers

Those players are simply not ready to play 82 games of nhl.
Make an OP AHL team and make them win together might be better for the future of the team

 

[Tyson]

The argument that pre season is for getting timing, game shape applies to every team, yet the Habs seem to be the only team that can't seem to get their shit together.
Name me one prospect that has been lights out? Some have been ok but none have stood out other than maybe Reinbacher.

Those who predicted a bottom 5 finish seem to know what they are talking about.

Teams get their crap together in pre season, except for the Habs. They win one pre season game every couple of years.

 

[Rapala]

There is absolutely no reason to swap HP out with Newhook on PP 1. We could surely use his speed coming fro the back.

 

[Hannibal]

It happens. He’s learning, won’t be perfect every game.

Let the trolls alone.

 

[McGees]

Slafkovsky is playing with a delay or what? He's lagging?

His server is in Slovakia so a little lag

 

[MaxDummy]

For me Slaf is AHL bound. Nothing against him, I just want to see him in a prominent role is all.

 

[G0bias]

I mean, I want Ivan Demidov or Berkly Catton so I won't complain if we suck ass again.

 

[River Meadow]

It happens. He’s learning, won’t be perfect every game.

It just hurts that we have to draft the 1st OA prospect who needs to learn the basics one full year after his draft year.

Hurts bad....

 

[HabSgt]

We gonna lose all 3 preseason games against the Leafs & then win the opener.

 

[tinyzombies]

Kovacevic looks a lot stronger and quicker. Newhook buzzing on the top line but it's mostly perimeter. Guhle looks ready for big minutes.

That's the end of the good news for tonight.

Oh, and no injuries.

 

[dinodebino]

More cuts needed pls. Too many players on this lineup. Time for Trudeau, Norlinder, and the others to join Laval.

 

[Edgelord]

Let the trolls alone.

I am rooting for the kid, he has all the tools to be sooo good, his noodle and physical confidence just need to catch up
