Not sure Hughes will look to move Savard or not but IMO he could really help a contender looking for a defensive dman and someone for their PK, just for his shot blocking alone.
Moving Savard would be a mistake. He's too valuable to the team. Matheson on the other hand...his whole gameplan is to play as badly as possible and somehow continue to get prime ice.

At least the ice wasn't as horrendous as Buffalo.

How many years has Burrows been running the PP? I'm completely baffled that no one has ever questioned his incompetence publicly. Habs lose so many games cuz of their bad PP. Such a mess. No one wants to shoot and everyone just wants to pass it around the perimeter. So pathetic.

Burrow's definitely friends with the media. It's insane he never gets questioned publically

I know we don't have awesome players. Obviously. But the strategies are just downright bad. They never adapt, they're not moving... Ugh

It's hard to do with Dach and Newhook out but I think that the first line should be split up. They just don't gel.

Caulfield - Suzuki - Ylonen
Slafkovsky - Monahan - Anderson
Armia - Dvorak - Gallagher
Stephens - Evans - Pezzetta

I can’t believe we wasted a first and a second on Dvorak

He is utterly non existant
He's worse than Bonk or Smolinsky. He's more in the Chad Kilger type of player or Jim Montgomery.
But how about his body language? He's unhappy, no positive emotions, no fun, no nothing except that unhappy face. I guess in his head he misses the cactus or Arizona and playing golf all year long.

When Anderson got the same surgery he said it took him half a season before he felt 100%
And look at him today. He can only score in an EN.
Not exactly a reassuring comment. :)

Seriously though, I think it's safe to assume that the injury is still impacting CC's shot. I can not say that I'm not worried about it.
There is something slightly off with his shot and it's enough for the goalies to make the saves. He seems to have lost a little bit of everything (accuracy, speed, release quickness, etc). Hopefully it's only temporary.

Pearson out for 4-6 weeks. Wonder if Heineman could get his chance?


The production will come
It sounds like another tanking year. Not in the top 4 but between 5 to 9.
Why every year the only players who produce gets injured. Monahan, Caufield, Ghule and Dach last year, Dach this year and now Pearson. By chance Suzuki is always there but the rest have their part of injuries.

This team is just boring and thats what makes it the most difficult to watch.

There is no pace, no puck support. Add in terrible defensively and lack any physicality.

The PP is painful. No movement, no strategy. Same ol Matheson trying to force plays or just fumble it

And on top, no consequences. Gally was a grade a tool most of the night and who is out with the goalie pulled. Anderson useless, Matheson terrible. And never are they sat in place of someone else
