What a dog’s breakfast on defence 💩
Habs are certainly looking MUCH better on defence now.
We won the division and finished 2nd in the East, 4th overall in the league that year. Beat the Bruins in round 1 and got eliminated by Philly (and R.J. Umberger) in 5 games in round 2.

Of course the Devils would not be able to take advantage of the NYR losing Miller and Trouba after 2 seconds of play. What a shitty season for them.

Annual game with my 6yo.
I want a win... but I don't want the points in the standings

It'd be nice but it'd also use one of the allowable two lottery advancement slots. Teams are only allowed to move up I think twice in a five-year period now; would Montreal want one of them to happen without moving into the top two? Considering the jump, I think they would but it's a factor to consider.
It's a little dissapointing that the two lottery advancement slots are not limited to your own pick.

Talk about an unlikely win !!!😐

I don't mind one bit if medias and fans expect/hope Hudson turns into a Q. Hughes.
If we're able to get a Torey Krug level of player with Hudson, that would be a fantastic 2nd round pick.

Ok makes sense now

Reasonably speaking, few Habs played a great game last night, Armia was far from the only one. From moneypuck.com:

I'd say that Hughes hasn't drafted BPA yet - thank god. Wright was supposed to go #1. Hughes isn't likely to start drafting BPA unless the Habs win the 1st overall pick.
The "supposed" BPA is maybe not the same one as Hughes and his crew have on their list.

Read something about Slaf this weekend.
He'd have worked closely with Glen Tucker, aka Dr. Shot.
Tucker is known from working with such names as Pastrnak, Bergeron, Eichel, etc.
Article said that Pasta didn' have that good of a shot/release when he started in the NHL. Just like Slaf it seems. -

Something worth noting is that Allen admitted today that he vetoed a trade to New Jersey earlier in the season, citing concern about having enough playing time with them.
Legit concerns earlier this season as they were supposed to go with Vanecek (somewhat proven, Jake Allen caliber) and Akira Schmid who had taken over the #1 role during last year's playoffs (à la Adin Hill).
Both have been very dissapointing this season though with under .900 sv%. Nico Daws as well.
Maybe I'm alone on this, but for me, the Devils are clear cut #1 bust this season around the league. Of course they lost Hamilton after only 20 games and Jack Hughes as well as Hischier both missed time too, but 24th overall ?!?! I had them contending for the Metro before season started. -
No more retaining spot.
-
2 post for Suzuki and 1 for Caufield though. Could have been much different for the first line.

I was thinking ylonen or evans or norlinder but ill take this. Perreault is younger and did more at the AHL level. Not sure hes NHL quality but think hes better than Mysak.
I seem to remember that you had Mysak as a fringe 1st rounder at the time and that you were excited about this pick. Sucks that it didn't pan out.

Who do we have equivalent to Walker?
Nothing straight up, but since it's Walker + 5th for Johansen + 1st, maybe the Avs would have settled for Savard + 3rd/late 2nd instead.
But I guess, they'd probably be more interested in the dman they get than the value in the pick along with him.
-
Would have loved the Habs to do the Walker deal for Johansen + 1st.

LOL
I guess... 🤷♂️ -

Winter really flew by this year.
Seems like it was just yesterday that we were in November and behold it’s March already.
Go Habs Go
Probably because there was no winter. I shovelled my driveway only twice over the whole "winter".
-
At some point, the Habs will need to aim bigger than Lukas Reichel, don't you think ?
-
As for the Habs, young players awaiting for the management to tell them to get their own place, they used to stay at the Renaissance hotel.

Suckin for Macklin does it for me.

Media in QC here asking the fans who they would target as part of a significant trade :
1. Trevor Zegras
2. Kent Johnson
3. Kaapo Kakko
4. Matt Boldy
5. Casey Mittelstadt
6. Elias Pettersson
7. Dylan Cozens
8. Other
Not sure we want to go as big as Pettersson (or even Boldy), but some interesting names in there. -

Roy is having his best game in the NHL so far.
Yep. Him and Wi-Fi.

Best game of Xhekaj’s career so far.
And not just cuz of the physical game.

Have a look at the 3rd goal from Slaf yesterday and tell me RHP doesn't deserve an assist.
This goal was all because of him.
Point is, RHP does enough to be in the conversation for 4th line/13th.
