If im the Habs I call Caufield home after this game after this coaching performance,, pathetic.
Uhh. I get you're upset but the reality is if he wants to play on the top line, he should earn it. He hasn't. He shouldn't be rewarded just because he has one exceptional attribute.

Also no way the Habs would do this.

He looks terrible. One of the goals even came after his turnover. Don't think he's in the shape of his life though. Hardly played this season, got covid and was kept out of the lineup afterwards. Don't think he's anywhere near 100%.
Yeah but it's hard to hold something like that against him when he has to try and overcompensate

I am going to get attacked by a certain segment of people but Kalliyev should be bottom 6 and PP specialist. He is slow and adds nothing unless he has a chance to shoot. his 1 great skill is worth having around but in a more specialized role especially with other better 5 on 5 players on the roster playing beneath him

You aren’t wrong, and that was probably his role before Covid took 2 players and Robertson opted out.

I feel like he could make a grinder line real dangerous if he was paired with 2 guys running all over, and he just popped up and scored when they broke stuff free.

Bullshat. Kaliyev didn't earn his spot on the 1st line. He should have started with Zegras and then moved down if it didn't work. He has been paying with Kaliyev on recent shifts which is idiotic.

I don't disagree that Kaliyev should've been taken off the top line by now but there's more deserving players ahead of Caufield right now.

If the argument is that a player can't perform without getting the team's best playmaker feeding him pucks, what exactly about that player has earned the right?
