Pre-Game Talk: Montreal vs. Anaheim: Sunday @ 4:00PM EST (TSN2 / RDS)

I swear, Poulin has a better shot than 90% of our players lol

 

[LaP]

We are really back to being terrible

Not really. It's a young team with a lack of depth. We basically need everyone to be 120% to compete and it happened for a month between December and January but it was never going to last. Dach and Newhook are back to not being good top 6 player. Hutson has cooled off a bit. Armia and Evans has cooled off too. First line is a tiny bit less effective and outside of the first 20 games the Dvorak line has been useless despite a TOI very close to a normal 3rd line since MSL is running 4 lines.

If we want to compete next year we have to find a top 4 RHD who can play with Hutson and it will mean letting someone go (Savard). We also have to add a top 6 player ideally Demidov. This will push Newhook down so we'll have to let someone go on the wing too (Armia, Gallagher or Anderson). We need to improve the top 6 and top 4 or else we will remain inconsistent.

Dach must still be suffering the effects of his injury.

Didn't know it was a brain injury

Unless he’s developed one recently, I think he’s safe from those.

Maybe he is simply vastly over rated....

Thread 'Noesen Major for a Check to the Head on Tage Thompson'

Today at 3:37 PM

Doubt the league does anything, because it's the NHL, but this was a clear head pick by Noesen and resulted in a major. Thompson did not return:

It's a good thing Troy Terry is out we'd be down 2 goals by now.
PP1 needs to be ripped up and burnt. It's pathetic.
I don't know if it's just me but Laine looks checked out on the bench.
He's kind of checked out on the ice too.

Dach may have a bad bach or perhaps he doesn't have the knach for being a top 6C, which would really faching sach to not be part of the pach.

5 in her last 3 why the f*** are we calling up Beck?

 

[Forum93]

RDS still loves Drouin. In the summary it notes his name with 2 assists, but the goal scores aren't named. Funny, ha.

He seems to be about as interested in playing as I was in attending church when I was a kid.

Pre-game talk sticky yet??? Put GDT sticky ASAP!!!

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Good post.

They are developing our 1st OA prospect so well aren't they...

I mean if playing him on the top line and the 1st pp unit isn’t the right way to develop him, I’m not sure what is?

Where else does he play on the 1st unit? Maybe they can throw him on the second unit and put Gallagher in his spot, is that preferable?

nice post bru. nice to see a level-headed take amid the hysteria

 

[windycity]

Aie aie aie

That's quality defending jfc

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Dach and Laine have been horrible

Its probably a good idea to have then end a period, a time you continually struggle with

Brilliant coach just brilliant

And its re-occuring decision thats happened and burned them

Flyers shut out for the 3rd straight game lol

Could be worse boys

Tabardach.

The second line is composed of three wingers. Watching them defensively needs that Benny Hill track instead of play by play.
