Chris

Tough decision on the big Finn, if he is going to stay, he needs minutes. If you have Suzuki or Poehling looking for a roster spot next year, CJ head would explode with 2 rookie centers. I would keep him up and just roll his line out there, let him learn and make mistakes

This years team at least plays hard and much more exciting than last years. I wish CJ would just roll the big finn out there instead of hiding him.

took a too many men penalty to start the period, with the awful PK, should be down quickly in 3rd.

I dont think confidence is Drouin's problem They will also have to start moving some defenseman in the near future, with Weber and Schlemko coming back in the next couple of months.

yea, Drouin needs to wake up and care. The goon squad as 99% of the posters believe having great games. Shaw, Domi, Lehkonen and going to the net and plying physical which is good to see. Too bad Peca doesn't know how to take the body.

If he skates better than Benn and Alzner, and is equally inept offensively, he is still an upgrade. And as MB says, you can never have enough depth defenseman, and character and attitude

6-2 Leafs

I read Shaw was about ready so he could be. Any combo of those 7 defenseman is just awful, probably the worst group of 7 in the league.

30-42-10 Last in division 195 goals 29th overall

I was looking forward to seeing "the real Schlemko" this year, guess not

Vintage Petry on the same shift

That defense is awful, slow footed and cant move the puck. They will spend the entire night in there own end. Bottom 3 in the league, no doubt. Hopefully they will get lucky and land the #1 pick

If you consider the Habs being 30th in the league over the past 10 years in drafted players on the roster, then yes, he is doing well.

So people have a problem with 3.4 mill for a 20 goal scorer with blazing speed and great on the PK. But know one has a problem with a 13 goal scorer making 6. Really weird Byron can be traded at anytime, there are no clauses in the contract

Tjhat defense is bottom 2 or 3 in the league, hands down. Benn, Schlemko and Alzner are also incredibly slow
