HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: Off-Season Edition

[Boss Man Hughes]

Thinking JJ was going to be an adequate goalie was a gross miscalculation.

Martin Jones was there to be claimed.

Jones was terrible for years but I believe he was better last season. Worth the risk for Tampa.

Anything is better than what they are running.. JJ is not suitable to be a NHL back-up.

Reminds me when our most legendary GM thought Ben Scrivens and Mike Condon could replace Price.

On a side note this will be a long season for the Caps. Also i might have underrated Ottawa. They have a pretty damn good team.

If Norris can stay healthy they have 2 very strong lines and if they can sign Pinto 3 very strong lines. Depth on d and goaltender are the only possible weaknesses.

What sub .900 goaltending does to a team....

Stamkos is also hurt.

 

[sampollock]

he will make up for it Saturday night lol

Drouin's 0-1-1 +4 in three games looks better than Suzuki's 0-1-1 -4 in three games.
I wonder how long it will last Jonathan's never been a + player in his entire career.

Think he’ll have a decent year. He’s on a great team.

And no in case anyone says… his time was up in Montreal. Whatever points he gets in COL, ice time, corsi, whatever…. He was never going to do that in a Habs jersey.

 

[Rapala]

I thought you were simply speaking of the regular season record, which is what most refer to, when speaking of the goalscoring record. 894 is Gretzky, 822 is Ovy.

ALL TIME FOR ME
Post Season is important.

Monty + 3rd for Hedman.

Another injury-prone player? Pass

What happened to them? They were 6 in the league for goals for last season.

This year is 3 games old.

 

[Adriatic]

This year is 3 games old.

I love people trying to analyze stats and trends 3 games into a season lol

 

[Ezpz]

The f*** do we have three days off between every game? f***ing garbage playing our fourth game like two weeks into the season

Funny how that applies to other teams... If only that perspective applied to takes about the Habs players as well

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Currently, former Habs players, Edmundson and Pacioretty are on LTIR. Weber could go on LTIR but Arizona has kept him on normal IR.

What happened to Pacioretty this time ?

That isn't what Ovy is chasing. He's chasing 894.

Maybe you should communicate with him to tell him he's not after the right number.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

We’ll see. They is a good chance they crash and burn this season.

I watched most of that game and Ovy is clearly very quickly declining. He's still able to throw a hit or two but his foot speed is gone. He can still shoot but... His dynamism is pretty much gone.

It might be time for the Caps to consider trading him at the deadline. That team is done.

That's what they should do, but I'd bet more on them making an aggressive move or two that sends futures for immediate help. Hope Hughes is involved, as one of the few teams that can easily take Mantha's cap hit back, we could possibly squeeze out a '24 or better yet, '25 1st in the process.

Good to hear, considering we play them Saturday night

I'd be more worried about Tom Wilson. He's still doing Tom Wilson things. If I were to bet on who would injure one of our players, it would be him

Did the singer in Philadelphia messed both national anthems?

 

[Adriatic]

OEL with the Panthers?? Damn I missed so much stuff this summer.

He got bought out.

Because he got bought out Arizona lost a retention spot for the 6 years his contract is drawn out now.
