man i don't wanna see pezzetta on the team again this year. Love the guy, but he's not an nhl player

He's the 13th forward. He's not blocking anyone

Yeah I guess if he's number 13th or 14th it's fine but he should be playing 30-35 games max.

The wins are good to start the year off with positivity and a good feeling in the room, but other than that and seeing how the prospect look, they don't mean much more. The Ottawa games on the other hand, I have a feeling those are going to be spicy

October 5th game will probably have the same intensity as a regular season game

Perfect 13th forward. Not needed every game, but every now and then, he comes in a 4th line role and he does well. He knows his role.

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Mesar looked good as well.I think there's definite potential there.

Shhh don’t tell that to @Bombshell11

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Mailloux is the only player to play both games. Montreal obviously wanted to give him a long look.

He's not going to start in Montreal. I'd keep everyone from last night's team except Mailloux.

Simoneau
Mesar
Farrell
F. Xhekaj
Mailloux
Trudeau
Hayes (D)

Should all be cut.

Beck, Heineman, Davidson, Kapanen, Tuch, Roy, Condotta & ABB upfront. Reinbacher, Engstrom, Hutson and all 4 goalies should continue with the camp (obviously players on NHL contracts, too).

 

[SwiftyHab]

Powerplay was crap again. First line ineffective.
1st star is Pezz!??


Start the tank thread!!!!
Bring on the rapture

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Well, that was boring.

little good plays here and there,
h
Liked Reinbacher.ght we

Yesterday's game was more entertaining. I like the new Habs and the new players. If we take the best of last night and the best of tonight we have a good team.

Well, at least they won the game.

 

[David Suzuki]

No pucks for the crowd?

More Molson cost saving?

I'm a huge fan, but he's not ready. And that's fine. He has huge potential, but he barely played during his junior years!

Another year in Laval, maybe even two, won't hurt.

8 GOALS SCORED

0 GOAL CONCEDED

 

[Adam Michaels]

Matheson won’t be part of our future cup winning core. Lane will. Better to give him reps on the PP.

I don't get the hate this guy gets. He's a real good player. He might not come in gangbusters and it might take some time to get acclimated, but he will get going.

Yeah, he needs more work. I like Mailloux, too but Reinbacher is definitely the better prospect.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Time to trade Dvorak+Anderson+Mesar for Aho.

Personally, I think Mesar played a good game and I believe he should get another look.

 

[MasterD]

I don't get the hate this guy gets. He's a real good player. He might not come in gangbusters and it might take some time to get acclimated, but he will get going.

I get it, he's a turnover machine and takes wild decisions on the blue line. Plus he rarely passes to the right side.

That said, he brings transition, he brings offense, he she best skater on the team. He's here for the time being, and not going anywhere.

Huston was in college last year, people need to chill. He'll be good, let's give it time. We're not winning the cup this year either way.

Habs pre-season history:
2023: 3-3
2022: all loses
2021: 2w-4L
2020: - ?
2019: 5w-2L
2018: 4w-2L
2017: 2w-6L

Over all of those, Habs a single shutout (in 2019 I think).
I checked until 2009 and Habs never had two shutouts in pre-season. Scrubs.

 

[BergevinBurner]

I'd be lying if I said our powerplay wasn't concerning. We're already like 0 for 10 on the PP including multiple 5 on 3s lol.

 

[MasterD]

Yeah, he needs more work. I like Mailloux, too but Reinbacher is definitely the better prospect.

I can accept that, but I think they just have very different future ahead of them.

Reinbacher can play with a Hutson or a Matheson. Mailloux will need a Guhle.

 

[ahmedou]

We got 4 great goalies!

Primeau. Dobes. Montembeault. Hughes.

Who would thought of that one day!

100%. I was hoping for him to take that 6 spot, but he isn't ready, Laval for him is a much better option now

I'm talking about Mesar (which was who the poster I replied to was talking about). I wasn't talking about Matheson.

Edit: I just realized I was replying to the wrong message.
