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

[Redux91]

So on D, it should be something like this:

Ghule-Barron
Xhekaj-Mailloux
Harris-Reinbacher

With Sam and Jacob in net.

Jeez
I don't know if it will be this
But it BETTER be this lol

 

[Hacketts]

nice not to play our own team.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Is the lineup out? Need slaf to go crazy tonight or it's gonna be boring as hell

 

[Fatbiggie]

Kinkaid will take his vengeance upon us

Nope will get the other team (Team A I guess)

 

[FrankMTL]

So on D, it should be something like this:

Ghule-Barron
Xhekaj-Mailloux
Harris-Reinbacher

With Sam and Jacob in net.

If it's actually that, it will be fun to watch as the oldest one playing would be Harris at the ripe old age of 23.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

So guys who weren't in the scrimmage yesterday will play tonight. Maybe some who did play yesterday will play today, particularly those who are fighting for spots or contracts.

These are the players who weren't there yesterday:

D: Guhle, Barron, Mailloux, Reinbacher, Harris, Xhekaj, Demin (invite), Laaouan (AHL deal) & Ortiz (AHL deal).

F: Anderson, Slafkovsky, Newhook, Roy, Simoneau, Pezzetta, Beck, Farrell, Ylonen, Legare, Stephens, Condotta, Dufort (invite), Novak (AHL deal), Voyer (AHL deal), Yaremko (AHL deal)

G: Montembeault, Dobes & Vrbetic


In Reinbacher's case, if we're to go by what Gorton said at the golf tournament, maybe he'll get a preseason game in and most likely sent back to Kloten. So maybe he'll play tonight and after the game, they loan him back to his European team.

Thanks Adam! Just for consistency, I believe Vrbetic is not signed by the Habs. In fact, he may not even have an AHL deal, is that correct? I think he may be a try-out.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Does that mean we'll be playing against the team with Nemec+Luke Hughes?

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[DAChampion]

We are getting a look at our D future tonight minus Hutson.

I fully expect in two years time, our 3 D pairs to be made up of Guhle, Barron, Mailloux, Hutson, Xhekaj, Reinbacher or Harris. Engstrom could be our 7th if we package Harris in the future. Can't wait to see what the boys do tonight!

I'd be surprised if both of Matheson and Savard are let go within as early as two years time.

 

[HomaridII]

Newhook's line stays together. Lets see how they do.

Guhle - Reinbacher

COuld be looking as soon as next season at 25-30 mins a night right there.

 

[EveryDay]

I don't get they are playing both Roy and Farrell on their off side?

I love the defence!!!

 

[DAChampion]

Oh nice, I'm genuinely curious about this lineup.

Any of those D pairings and the 3rd line could be part of the 2025 NHL starting lineup.

Interesting that they placed Newhook at center.

 

[NobleSix]

Slef better go end 2 end bar down one knee shush the crowd or I'm done with his skank ass bro

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Newhook's line stays together. Lets see how they do.

Guhle - Reinbacher

COuld be looking as soon as next season at 25-30 mins a night right there.

I wonder who is going to play defence on Newhook's line. Interesting line for sure though. Thought they'd use Newhook on the wing, with his speed and shot. Will be interesting to follow in the next 2 weeks.

Newhook has only played center so far in camp. And that line has been together for every single scrimmage and practice. THey have not broken them up.

 

[malcb33]

The 3rd line should be interesting to watch. I hope they step up to the challenge!

Roy Beck Ylonen

 

[Redux91]

Ok!
Pumped for the 1st line
Pumped for that 3rd line that should be 2nd lol

And the D! My god the D
Not the pairings I would of done but at least it's the right 6 guys

You would think Guhle and Barron but we can't complain having the 5th Ov pick front and center lol
Harris could help Mailloux a bit even if I wished it was Arber there
And Xhekaj-Barron in the end could be fun to see too

 

[schwang26]

Oh boy, those forwards are young. Dont expect much cohesion tonight. Anderson babysitting I guess?

 

[Redux91]

Also
Cool to see our 2 best goalies getting the nod tonight

And again the D lol
Guhle 1st round pick
Reinbacher 1st round pick
Mailloux 1st round pick
Barron 1st round pick
And Harris and Xhekaj with NHL experience already lol

We are all fixated on that D lol

 

[EveryDay]

I don't think this game will be easy for Farrell playing with off wing with Pezzetta and Stephens.

 

[FrankMTL]

Both the forwards and the defense is very young. The oldest forward is Anderson at 29 years old, then it falls to 26. The oldest defenceman is 23.

This guy is ready to go!

 

[waitin425]

I'd be surprised if both of Matheson and Savard are let go within as early as two years time.

Savard is as good as gone. If the young kids continue their development curve, someone will have to go. It could be one of them (Mailloux or Barron as an example) or it could be Matheson. I love Matheson, but he might net us the best return. The young guys have better contract status' as we retain a ton of control over them for a while still.

It is a good spot to be in.

 

[HomaridII]

I don't think this game will be easy for Farrell playing with off wing with Pezzetta and Stephens.

Just shows you where he is in the pecking order of wingers.
