GDT: The Game that determines the Tank: Habs vs Lightning 1pm

[larek]

They’re all shit he’s just the worst player on the team quite easily

Maybe he's doing video games again

 

[sampollock]

Why?

He is a #1 pick but a 3rd line player

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

We'll be *much* better

The question is will they man the f*** up and somehow trade Gallagher and Matheson this offseason.

They we'll REALLY be better

I just see more young players being integrated, which I assume means more growing pains.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Agreed, shots can be worked on. So I hope he makes that a priority this off season.

Does he have a bad shot? How do we know since he never shoots?

 

[Skip Bayless]

OH THINKING ABOUT OUR YOUNGER YEARS
IT WAS ONLY YOU AND ME, WE WERE YOUNG AND WILD AND FREE

 

[SlafySZN]

He is a #1 pick but a 3rd line player

Are you guys scared that suzuki won’t be the best line if it happens?

 

[larek]

He can improve it. He needs to work on it.

He needs to shoot more

 

[CHfan1]

Slafkovsky is playing better after (deservedly) getting put on the 4th line. He’s moving his feet, actually shooting, and hitting. At least there are signs after, imo, a poor season.

 

[sampollock]

Are you guys scared that suzuki won’t be the best line if it happens?

I am saying
They need a #1 centre or a real solid #2 centered by fall

 

[Rapala]

He has skated 50,000 km this season trying to deke everyone.

He'll get better when he tones it down and becomes more diversified with his passing game. He's a far better play maker when he isn't trying to deke the shit out of everybody. He just see's the ice better.

Only thing worse than the Habs play is this song

He is a 2nd liner best case

I'd be surprised if the little nerd didn't have a shot training regimen already pre-planned for this summer.

My coach put me through a rigorous shot training. Old school ankle weights on my wrist. A weighted puck and told me to hmmmm "Love myself" with both hands as much as possible, to increase my wrist stength. By the end of the summer, I could shoot a puck through a brick wall.

 

[VT]

Dach is dependent on Newhook and Anderson. Count the number of times Anderson has won the puck.

Savard ... I don't know why the game.

I don't know why some are still bitching about Laine. Uz is playing better, he gets the puck in the OZ, forchecks, wins some subs and confirms that if he moves, keeps the puck, he can make a play. Has yet to start shooting. Of course, it's far from ideal, but it's an improvement.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Does he have a bad shot? How do we know since he never shoots?

It seems pretty accurate. But I don't think you'll confuse him with Al MacInnis anytime soon.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Habs should throw the bank at Duchene on a 2-3 year deal. We need a bridge until Hage is ready.

 

[Farmboy Patty]

He has skated 50,000 km this season trying to deke everyone.

Also, if there was a way to keep a stat for successful dekes Hutson would probably be no 1. The guy should have his own sports line called Ankle Breaker.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Only thing worse than the Habs play is this s---

AND BABY YOURE ALL THAT I WANT WHEN YOURE LYING HERE IN MY ARMS
IM FINDING HARD TO BELIEVE, WERE IN HEAVEN

 

[VT]

Correct, him, Anderson and Newhook.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

so that's where the Jessica Alba obsession started

 

[larek]

He has to -- everyone else on in his team stands and watches - he has to wait with puck

 

[Rapala]

I'd be surprised if the little nerd didn't have a shot training regimen already pre-planned for this summer.

Yeah maybe his brother can be his tutor because he sure as shit has a good one. But I still think your original assessment is far more revealing our forwards have to work on their short games.

Teams have figured it out hence the reason he looks less effective. He is a rookie and needs a few years to adapt but will get there. He needs a better D partner much like Karlsson had with Methot when he was in Ottawa.

Makes sense, he can coach Beck and Kapanen also. Not like Vinny can do it or is even doing it.
