He is capable of doing so Could? It is possible it could happen Will?

Take the LottoMax odd and multiply them by the Lotto649 odds and then double that It was a similar kanundrum with Koivu. .i.e an aging Captain that needs to renounce the C and accept a lesser role but how to actually do it? The Habs got rid of Koivu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I certainly hope that the Simmonds tossing isn't just a trend. Too bad Bilbo missed on the break away. D'oh, Leafs score. However, 2nd breakfast isn't over yet and Bilbo just drew a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I once played hockey with a kid in tyke who would try to fall on every puck with his pads just like Allen did. The outcome (every time) was also the same as Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its just me, but I'd say everything. ex: Gustafsson, he is barely able to play on the team (i.e. 7th dman), so if he was good in the dressing room would that be a reason for him to be Captain? Personally, I'd pick somebody who is leading on the team to be the leader. 1 minute ago, hab29RETIRED said: Habs could have kept Koivu at a lower salary. Don’t have that option with Weber. Yes, but that was really the problem. i.e. he was C for way too long because he wasn't doing that. The only option with Weber is to get rid of him, which the Habs essentially did with Koivu by letting him "walk" = not giving him a contract offer.

Trizzak Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I just want to watch a Habs game and enjoy it from beginning to end more than once a month. Get the lead. Keep the lead. Extend the lead. It's what good teams do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'm liking Bieksa as an analyst. Its unarguable that his views are definitely very different from the rest of them. ex: Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Just now, Neech said: He's cracked me up a couple times, the first laughs on HNIC since Don's departure. That's exactly what I was thinking too. Its not possible for anybody to be just like Cherry, but he's probably the closest that anybody can be. Similarly, I really liked Roenik and thought he might get really big in the US. I'm not sure what happened to him but I dont think he lasted very long because of 1 of his views.

sbhatt Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Of course Kotkaniemi falls on his ass, blocking Caufield's access to the puck...killing cycle on the powerplay. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Habs are really fighting the puck. Passes are just a bit off to accept at full pace, losing control of the puck with zero pressure, and all five players on the ice seem to have five different ideas on how to create offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Jeez, Bilbo could have got a too many men penalty there. The poor guy is too small to hop over the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
