Yeah, that's a brilliant move. Because Dadonov and Hoffman, to name only 2, are bringing so much more than Pitlick... sigh

Was Pitlick really better than Hoffman and Dadonov tonight?
I feel like the Dadonov, Drouin, Hoffman thing is just not really objective at this point.

Might have got a boost knowing price likely won't be playing. Secure a spot brings a calming mental state.
The kid has the size and the skill to be a good goalie in the league his problem is that he somehow manages to lose focus and let in stinkers at the wrong moment.
Maybe he can put it all together, he's still young for a goalie.

MSL is an ex-player and he went through a lot of ups and downs throughout his career.
I'm pretty sure he sees all these vets as reclamation projects, he will try and make them work/revive them before giving up on them.
Pittlick is younger and signed for the next year also, he's the easy guy to take out.

Gally with 2! This board been telling me for weeks Gallagher was garbage. Guess shows how much these posters know. Lol.
Never watched game, did Harris play right side?

I love Wideman but if Edmundson is ready to play and they really go with who merits to stay in the lineup he's getting scratched.
Harris will play on the right side.

I only watched the highlights, but apparently there was one where Buffalo had more shots on goal than Montreal. Hoffman was the pointman it seems, with the expected results when the Sabres got the puck.
Well, when you get 5 forwards out there you clearly get exposed defensively but I thought they moved the puck well and generated some good looks anyway.
GTFOSo the same fans that were embracing the rebuild, the patience, the development , were whining all game long, were insulting players, crying to see a goal. All game long , we have been read the wha wha of the "best hockey fans" and at the end, the Habs won it ....
Bunch of bipolar clueless fans
I agree and there really isn't too much we can do about it. Getting a 1st round unprotected in 2023 isn't going to happen. We need to finish in a spot where we can move into a top 3 pick. We need to win the lottery.
He's entering plays a step quicker which makes a huge difference. How long can he stay healthy and how many ugly goals will he score?
Why not both of them and allow one of them to roll down as a forward drops back. They certainly handle the puck better than most. I guarantee we would have much better puck retrieval with control. The opposition won't be as quick to jump im our faces. I can't take much more of the ridiculously slow break outd from the back. The guy you want getting the puck is Suzuki (In full stride) not behind our f***ing net.
People need to realize how much better he is when not paired with #6.
Mistakes yes we can handle them Stupidity NO. I think we are good on this one.
His trajectory is very reminiscent of Hedman's. He's definitely breaking big. Will he reach those heights I don't know. Not physically though.

I don't see it. It's fairly simple to read the player's body language when he makes those impossible saves. This despite the odd stinker which Primeau gives up more frequently.
It’s pretty ironic how goaltending and our rookie D squad is 99% why we are playing.500 hockey at this point, and that they were THE main concern starting the season.
Imagine if all of Hoffman, Drouin, Dadonov, Wideman, Dvorak and Pitlick were playing just ‘average’ instead of trash, and if our p.p was quarterbacked by Matheson. We could easily be right behind Boston in the Atlantic right now ( we’re actually just 1 point behind Florida at the present)
Fans are gonna be pissed, but I don’t see the Habs finishing bottom 3 this year. Probably gonna finish in the no man’s land somewhere between 18th to 25th overall.
Why do you hate to say that , and why are you insulting him with that name ?
They also lost a few pucks. I don‘t think Hoffman is an effective QB, wonder if Suzuki could not play that role
Niemi was overall not very good with MTL yet he had a game with 52 saves…
Let us not overhype Monty, we all hope he overperforms but it remains unlikely.
8 games are far too small of a sample to draw any sort of conclusion. MTL could be right behind BOS but they could be right with ARI (very close games with TOR PIT and BUF).
