Post-Game Talk: Prerequiste for preseason pre-game talk Canadiens Vs. Devils

[The Great Weal]

Put Roy's IQ in Andersons body and you got a top 5 player in the league

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Pretty fun period. Anderson and Newhook gliding together on the ice looks like you're playing NHL 2002 with team Canada against team China

 

[Andrei79]

Andy is too fast for his brain...

Sadly, that's true for Slaf too, but he's not that fast.

 

[Whitesnake]

And Slaf....it's Laval. It has to be. It wasn't a 1st round like any other? Fine. Treat it as such.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Oeuf l'eau naine.

 

[rickthegoon]

How has mailloux looked ?

Nothing flashy, but good overall.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

86 is absolutely bailling it. Just putrid

 

[SlafySZN]

Bro stop getting ragdolled around the ice you're 6'4 300 pounds.....

It’s just a normal hit lol.

Won’t start whining when he gets hit like everyone else now?

 

[The Great Weal]

Game is going ten times speed for Slaf.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Mid first period

Roy NewHook did great
Anderson speed was on point...
Simoneau decent
Montombeau great

As for the rest , we managed to throw some good hit

Habs need to be more proactive

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Roy had a good period.

Maybe I'm being pessimistic because I hated the pick since the day we made it, I know he's still young, but it would be nice to see Slafkovsky do something to show why he should have been picked even close to first overall.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

And Slaf....it's Laval. It has to be. It wasn't a 1st round like any other? Fine. Treat it as such.

I’m down with that. I hope they aren’t afraid to do it.

If he starts up though, he needs time in the top six. Now is the time. We’re not a playoff team, give him lots of ice or send him down.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

It’s just a normal hit lol.

Won’t start whining when he gets hit like everyone else now?

I'm the guys biggest supporter , why is he flying across my screen mid air trying to evade dying on a simple zone entry

 

[armChairScout]

I’m really excited about mailloux, I’m hoping he is our next subban

Also reminds me of Evan Bouchard a bit ? Darnel nurse maybe ?

 

[rickthegoon]

Fun 1st period, no complaints here

 

[SlafySZN]

86 is absolutely bailling it. Just putrid

Who is it?

 

[Andrei79]

I wonder where Francois Gagnon hides his phylactery.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

How has mailloux looked ?

Strong. He stood up Toffoli with an open ice check and made several excellent first passes. Kid will probably not play this year for Montreal but should be a cinch for next year.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Barron not getting a lot of love? Not sure why not he was the best dman imo. Position was always good. Passes were good. Had a couple strong blocks

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I’m really excited about mailloux, I’m hoping he is our next subban

Also reminds me of Evan Bouchard a bit ? Darnel nurse maybe ?

He seems like a mix of both.

He's got the offensive flare, but unlikely to be as high as Bouchard. He tries to play a tough game, but not as tough as Nurse.

He's on par with their inability to defend, though.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I wonder where Francois Gagnon hides his phylactery.

Probably in his coca bottle lmao

 

[The Great Weal]

And Slaf....it's Laval. It has to be. It wasn't a 1st round like any other? Fine. Treat it as such.

No clue why they are so dismissive about this idea. We got like 14 NHL forwards too, not like we are starved for a player. Play him with Roy and Andersson on the top line then Heineman/Mailley/Farell as the second line.

 

[Rapala]

Roy had a good period.

Maybe I'm being pessimistic because I hated the pick since the day we made it, I know he's still young, but it would be nice to see Slafkovsky do something to show why he should have been picked even close to first overall.

The first thing he could/should have done is stop when he gets to the net instead of flying by. Easy tap in if he does.

 

[sansabri]

Roy, Newhook and Guhle really stood out in the first

 

[Mackiaveli]

Slaf spent most of the season conditioning and fixing his physical and probably not doing much 'hockey' stuff ... I think this will be a big season for him developmentally if he can stay healthy; his frame is much more NHL-appropriate and he has now acclimated to the environment.
