GDT: Pre-Season: Ottawa Senators vs Montreal Canadiens 7:00pm EST: TSN5, RDS (HD), TSN 690

This is not an exciting lineup.

Guhle, Barron, Mesar and Beck are the reasons I am watching.

I guess I will still have to wait longer to see our first overall pick play. If Owen Beck can help Drouin and Hoffman look good there is no way that he needs to go back to junior.

There isn't a chance in hell that Beck doesn't end up back in junior.

 

[Gravity]

Why would we want to start him in the NHL this year even if he looks good in camp? I just don't get it. We can keep him and play him as a 3rd or 4th center in the NHL and he can try to hang on, on one of the worst teams in the league, or we can send him back to junior and let him learn to be a top dog, play a ton of minutes, mature into a man and to grow his body a bit. It seems like a no brainer unless he is some generational talent. Look at the good it did Guhle. He took 2 years and learned to be a top dog, became the best in the league and now looks poised to do the same in the NHL.
I love how Beck plays and I have become a fan over this training camp, but I think it would be insane to keep him with the Habs this year. Under what scenario is there a benefit, and how marginal is that benefit if it comes to pass.

I'm not at all against sending Beck back. The premise of statement lay in Beck forcing the org's hand with a great training camp and making the team. I don't particularly view either as detrimental for his development

Now I know, he's a 80s Francis Cabrel.

Dang!!!
You just fixed the missing link in my brain!
Was wondering since day 1
Thx

I'm going to disagree on that one. He has looked good enough to make a good bunch of us excited about the future with him, but his play in a couple exhibition games is not forcing any hands. Being better than the 12th forward is not making the team for a freshly drafted player.... it makes no sense. There is lots for him to learn in the OHL still. Let him do it.

 

[RealityHurts]

Slaf isn't playing, go figure..

 

[GobigorGohome]

I would love to see Drouin - Suzuki - Hoffman during the regular season. MSL going all in to try to increase Drouin and Hoffman's trade values.

And, Dach could play with Caufield.


Call PK out of retirement.

Why,too ruin the room?

Preparing myself for another 0 or 1 goal game. Søgaard is pretty good and we suck against big goalies with our impossible angle/40+ feet shots.

Umm .most goalies I the NHL are Big .

 

[Naslundforever]

Besides Beck and Mesar up front, there's not much there...

All the kids going back to junior and the trade bait veterans

 

[Redux91]

Who are Stephens and Richard? My God cut come guys and prepare for the season

What's really funny about this post
Is you're gonna see #13 and #90 out there at some point, and you'll probably actually like them Lol

 

[Naslundforever]

Primeau's confidence is going to be shit to start the season...again.

For sure but then again even if they ice their best line up it only takes them to 32nd place

What's really funny about this post

So many little guys with great wheels and motor I had never heard of actually haha

 

[Habs10Habs]

Put Drouin back at Center.

Dadonov - Drouin - Hoffmann

 

[Habs13]

I feel sorry for Beck. Poor kid. What a terrible forward group (minus Beck, Mesar and Pezz)

RHP/Stephens/Richard is going to be fun to watch.

 

[Naslundforever]

While others merely post on Twitter, the Sens operate on a whole other level of sophistication — they “publish” their lineup.

They also do it using a pic that includes a Hab player who is no longer with the team.

They probably fax it to the webmaster

 

[Runner77]

They probably fax it to the webmaster

By first sending a telegram about the incoming fax.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Should be a good test as Sens might not have Tkachuk, they have Giroux, DeBrincat, Joeph, Motte, Pinto, Sanderson, Zaitsev, Harmonic & Brannstrom.

 

[Habs13]

Habs are going to get mashed tonight

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Habs are going to get mashed tonight

I hope all here expect it lol
Not looking forward to another meltdown if we losing 6-0

 

[StCaufield]

Why is Beck being punished? Drouin and Hoffman really??

Not too sure what’s wrong with Drouin other than his health if you’ve watched him play post 2019

 

[Stive Morgan]

Why,too ruin the room?


Umm .most goalies I the NHL are Big .

He is literally the tallest goalie in the NHL, and exactly my point, we suck against most goalies unless it's CC or Suzuki shooting the puck.

 

[Habs13]

Only NHL level forwards Habs are icing are Evans and Pezz lol

 

[Seven7]

Another year of Armia.

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

[KevSkillz4]

[Stive Morgan]
