Knies and Nylander the only top forwards playing

A. Nylander not W. Nylander.

 

[JianYang]

Habs sent the Rockets to Toronto so no surprise the Matlies will be in Montreal

Home teams are generally stronger roster wise than road teams in preseason.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So if Habs lose tonight with pretty full lineup, we are definitely panicking... Right?

YES! Either win the game or tarde them all and fire the rest.

A. Nylander not W. Nylander.

Thanks I forgot he signed with the Leafs

 

[Hannibal]

f***ing Farrell on the fourth line.

Would have been way better to put Tuch there. At least Tuch has a future with us. Especially on a fourth line.

Adam Nicholas’s pet.

It's sad.

Remember when we had hope for Farrell?

 

[Tyson]

Mailloux with Xhekaj is a serious audition

I never had hope him, though. Career AHLer

As I mentioned earlier. Full line-up with a few guys getting final auditions. Unless a guy or two do so well, they warrant another game, I expect tonight will be the last preseason game for Beck, Condotta, Farrell, Davidson, Reinbacher, and Mailloux.

 

[River Meadow]

Fair.

I didn't have much either but many around here did.

Too small and his skills aren't good enough to make up for it.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Mailloux with Xhekaj is a serious audition

They were a good pair in Laval last year. Neither is having the greatest camp. But we know they're both good and a Mailloux/Xhekaj pairing could be something we see down the road.

Yeah, that Nicholas obviously knows nothing about hockey

Weird that I am one of those who doesn't think Mailloux has had a bad camp. I think he came to camp to show that his defensive game is improving. He will eventually figure out how to manage both sides of the game.

He can't make Farrell bigger or faster

 

[Adam Michaels]

You're right. It's very possible he's focusing on playing a better defensive game because they know he can bring offense. I feel like Barron is also here to show his more defensive side this camp. And I think he's having a very good one.

I could see Mallioux and/or Reinbacher staying until Guhle is ready to return. Right now they would only have Savard and Barron to play the right side.

 

[The Real Timo]

YES! Either win the game or tarde them all and fire the rest.

Now we're talking!

 

[Skip Bayless]

This might be the D corps by the end of the season.

Xhekaj's spot is in danger though. Struble has outplayed him. He needs to make a statement.

Farrell on the fourth line is a head scratcher. I think they're giving him his last opportunity to show something before making a decision.

Announcing cuts after tonight?

 

[Tyson]

You're right. It's very possible he's focusing on playing a better defensive game because they know he can bring offense. I feel like Barron is also here to show his more defensive side this camp. And I think he's having a very good one.

It would be huge if Barron figures things out this season and Mailloux can further refine his game in Laval. I still don't 100% feel he is ready. My other concern is Xhekaj, I am starting to think that he may not be part of the top 6 longterm.

Big night for Mailloux, Beck and Reinbacher.

It sounds like they are trying to make him a more complete player and... a better person.

 

[Tyson]

I could see Mallioux and/or Reinbacher staying until Guhle is ready to return. Right now they would only have Savard and Barron to play the right side.

Mailloux perhaps but Reinbacher isn't remotely close to deserving of being kept with the big team.

 

[The Real Timo]

Big night for Mailloux, Beck and Reinbacher.

I don't think DR has a chance in hell sticking with the big team. He is very not ready. Laval for that lad and hope he comes back worthy of a 5th overall next season.

Like I have said a few times, both Jiricek and Nemec needed AHL time, Reinbacher is no different

Everyone talks about the legacy Weber left behind in the room. But we neglect to recognize the legacy Therrien left behind.

Because everyone is trying hard to forget that legacy.
