sbhatt Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Glad to see Gallagher on 3rd line where he belongs....hope he's off the PP as well. Hoping Max scores tonight, and that 47/27 click and can produce a goal or two as well. If we can get 2 lines scoring, odds for a 'W' are good.

zumpano21 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'll be there. The oil are on the skids a bit lately. It's a good opportunity for a bounce back game with a more complete lineup. Allons-y! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nihilz Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Im not sure I like McCarron in this line up any longer with Martinsen and Ott starting. Time to send him back to NFLD and bring Hudon up. With DD & Ghetto gone it's better for that vital balance that MB always preaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 They will need to score more than the traditional one goal. Hudon if called up needs top 6 minutes, McCarron playing has nothing to do with Hudon, You want a big body on the 4th line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure what he has to do Habs Oilers: Galchenyuk and McDavid each have 3G 5A last 7 GMs. Lucic 2G 2A last 5. Price last 5. 5-0-0, 0.99 GAA, 966 sv% Cam Talbot (3-1-1, 1.67, .930 vs MTL) vs Carey Price (1-6-1, 3.75, .856 vs EDM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleky tore up the AHL before becoming a solid two way centre for all his Habs years - apart from this year. This is what I'm getting at.

This is what I'm getting at. There is nothing wrong with a Pleks-like career for Hudon... that would actually be very good for us... a two-way top six winger. I just thought you were referring to the fact that he could be a two-way centre. An idea that was popular when the Habs made the attempt to convert him to centre last season. He hasn't played centre since like January 2016 though, he just isn't a centre, he's a left wing. That said, he looks the most NHL ready of any of our forward prospects.

If Hudon has a Plekanec like career, he would be a valuable piece for us for the next decade. Yeah, he's fallen off a cliff this year, but don't tell me we wouldn't want a prospect to come up and have a very similar career to what he did. That certainly isn't "terrible".

BCHabnut Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hrudy said something about King being hurt when he was traded. Like hurt feelings. I hope he gets over it soon. I haven't seen a lot of motivation from him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
