Post-Game Talk: The only thing in the mix, are the line combos... Habs lose to Capitals.

[Habs]

No, the blueline is fixed, X was scratched!

Who said you could change your avatar and mess me up?

 

[Habs13]

Lane on the 5 on 3 was a headscratcher... I mean yes, he should be there, but NOT down low in the corner... WTF

The worst part was why the hell was Armia there and not Slafkovsky?!

 

[1909]

Slaf looks heavily regressed as well.

$$$$$$…. That’s what it’s making to a 20 year old guy.

 

[Runner77]

Can’t believe the Donkey won that.

We need an Elite C in this next draft and things will be looking up. the blueline is still a mess...

Absolutely should draft a game controlling center. Would go a long way. Dach doesn’t look like a guy that can ever run his own line . Blue line is a mess because Matheson is the 1D and we have no structure

 

[1909]

It we’re bringing in Lemaire he might as well play

Lemaire and Robinson as asst-for D…

Won’t happen of course. I don’t expect any changes before the next off season.

Before you start criticizing, notice the age of d-men.

Barron, Hutson and Struble have played less together than each of the Fehérvári, Sandin group. Not to mention Carlson and Van Riemsdyk. Alexeyev would be one of the most experienced defensemen in your team. McIlrath hasn't played a huge amount of games in the NHL, but over 600 in the AHL.

Then the centers, the basic of the line. Washington has Strome, Dubois in TOP 6, you have Suzuki and Newhook. Dvorak is an opponent agent for more than one game. It's appalling what he's showing.

Heineman, who's max a third line player and even that when players are injured, is playing on the first line.

You can criticize the tactics, but it's one thing to criticize the tactical guidelines, it's another thing to see if the players can execute them.

To judge by Columbus, make the fourth line out of tough players who will play extremely hard, good in for checking, fight the opponent. For example, something like:

L. Tuch - F. Xhekaj - Pezzetta

(write your version, you know players better)

It will definitely be better than two amorphous players Armia and especially Dvorak.

By the way, I don't know why you have Matheson. That corn protection in front of the net... .

What game is that? Cornhole?

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

With Guhle in and Jackeye out = only 6 goals against

So impressed. Its almost like it doesnt matter who plays, they just dont get the “concept”

 

[Sasha Orlov]

It’s all about Gavin McKenna… they are playing the long game.

We would take the guy ranked 9th even if we had 1st overall that year

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

The Tank takes on Da Mix

 

[Metallo]

Lemaire and Robinson as asst-for D…

Won’t happen of course. I don’t expect any changes before the next off season.

Lemaire is 79, Robinson 73, let's be real.

 

[Team_Spirit]

I don't recall seeing this so low... 6%!

f***ing Primeau

 

[A55P2]

Let's go pick up Belzile from the Rangers and dump Dvorak. At least we'd have a solid energy fourth line, easy trade.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Because Slaf was crap all nigtht???

 

[Rapala]

There were a few instances where it was the direct cause of the giving away the slot completely. I just don't understand how an NHL team can do that. I've never seen a team be this bad defensively, though I don't follow bottom feeders usually. This year though, It's infuriating and I think I'm of the more patient temperament

How can a Defenseman be effective in chase mode all over your zone?
The opponent will always beats you to back to the net 100% of the time.
It's a hooking penalty waiting to happen and that is a good outcome.

Go for the RHD!!!! Always go for the RHD!!!!!! no matter what!!!!

 

[Shred]

What's the story behind it ?

I googled to find tonight's fight and found some antics from previous years. They don't like each other, that is for sure.

 

[Habs13]

Because Slaf was crap all nigtht???

...and Armia was what exactly??

 

[Treb]

At least St-Louis showed some emotion there during the presser.

I think its time some vets get healthy scratched. Do we have any hard nosed players in Laval?

Tuch, but I think it would be beneficial for him to spend some time in the AHL. Need some fighting experience for one.

Davidson a bit less physical but he's better offensively than Tuch.

Xhekaj but way too raw for the NHL yet.

Arseneau is a tough guy but on an AHL deal and definitely not worth a NHL one.

The MSL fans boys will tell you its cause they are the greenest defence corpse

then you see Matheson and Savard do the same the thing and its really just a MSL and Robidas thing that clearly doesnt work

...and Armia was what exactly??

All yr at that

You also end up in situations where a forward, like Caufield, ends up having to protect the front of the net, with the obvious expected result.

I understand the reasons why MSL wants this system, but he needs to sit down with his players individually and have a good talk with them. There are likely many that are confused about what to do defensively.
