HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024-2025 season

Didn't Torts say openly that they also have a development plan? So yes maybe it's not as explicit as Anaheim, but I don't see how it's bad for development if your rookie, who is not playing well at 5v5, would sit one game in the pressbox.

I would expect a generational talent like Michkov to not need this. I was told he was already better than Bedard, Caufield and countless others.

In all seriousness, it's absolutely fine for him to be scratched but it is nice for the Michkovian of HFHabs to be quiet a little. They've been yapping for years now.

It's not bad as long as it's done to let the kid watch the game from above instead of playing it and let the kid focus his energy on training with the coaches between the games. If it's done to punish and to send a message then it can 100% be bad for the development. We have been there and we have done that. Communication is key in a situation like that. The kid needs to know and understand why he is being scratched while vets who are not doing better are not.

Man, Sens really suck on the road. They're 1-5-0. They're now 7th in Atlantic / 13th in Conference.

Buffalo destroyed NYR tonight. Great work!

I feel like Buffalo are close to figure it out. So much skills in this group of young players.

Oouf, time must go by slowly in your parts. It's been 16 months.
