Read that Jagr compared him to himself and wanted to recruit him for his team until realizing his young age... (that would be an absolute dream as Jagr is easily top5 GOATs for me that I've been able to watch... The more I think about it... barring a multi player trade he might need to start in Laval as habs currently have 5 players to many knocking on the door (providing everyone starts season healthy) -
I feel we were never as bad as our record indicated LY to get the #1. We got lucky in that sense with everyone having terrible seasons plus all the injuries etc. The real key to next season will be on D and goaltending. Will a combination of Matheson, Harris, Guhle, Barron and Norlinder have any impact immediately at the NHL level to replace the hole left by Petry, Weber Chairot and Romanov. The other question would obviously be goaltending which is self explanatory. Agaiin alot of What ifs and expectation on kids making impact but even so this team will not be Conor Bedard terrible and we should stop thinking such unless we seriously dismantle the veteran core. There is to many young kids already in the lineup wanting to prove their worth as well as vets trying to prove they are still relevant.

Jagr? We could only dream of such an outcome. Unfortunately his raw talent is not jagr'ish... jagr is one of the greatest hockey players of all time! Drafting his boy Mesar and Dach already super tight with his Alberta boy Guhle should help tremendously. We should all be stoked right now that Hughes has gone out and done what we've all been begging for. -
GDT Nov 14 7 PM: Habs @ Bruins - Battle in Beantown
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN replied to tomh009's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
kulak was really skating well last night i thought. Same with Evans who is coming into his own. Poehling looked good to on his skates(arguably his weakness) -
its more then just Edmundson (whos been a rock since joining)... weve lost 2 of our top Dman when you add Weber and his 20 plus minutes as well. So the loss of Edmundson coupled with Weber is catastrophic. Not to mention they both were key cogs on the PK along with Danault and Byron.... add all that together and its no wonder the team is 0-5 to start and just north of 50% on the PK.

Suzuki will be fine. Evans has shown when healthy that he is a capable C. Where lies the problem is KK was replaced by Paquette and now Perreault (a winger) Not to mention we brought Savard on to add to our D core but needed 2 Dman (one to replace weber). Add to that danault, Weber, edmundson and Byron (4 key cogs on our PK) all removed and we have the worst PK in the league at around 50%... couple that with a PP running at 0% and its no wonder we are 0-4. Realistic fans of hockey and more importantly the Habs understand that with 9 players removed from this teams playoff run and alot of them key players, we would have a rough start maybe even a rough year. Fix the special teams and we can right this ship. Cause we could easily be 2-2 if the leafs and rangers went our way on special teams alone.

GDT Game #2 Habs vs Sabres Oct.14 2021, 7:00pm

I disagree on petry... I didnt like his game last night. He had no pace to his breakouts.. slowed it down way to much, held on to the puck and made bad decisions. My personal thoughts is all. Am I worried about him long term? Absolutely not. -

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN replied to DON's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
We call that BS... its game 2 not game 20 or game 30. The mental tiredness of playing up to 20 minutes of on ice hockey? Gimme a break but for the goalie and he was fresh. these guys took a bus from TO to Buffalo and settled in by 1am. They lost because they weren't up to the challenge of Buff home opener. Petry made bad decicuons Romanov was turning over the puck all night. Chiarot I thought played well but took some untimely penalties. Our PK was bad and our PP was worse. it was the difference in game 1 as well as game 2. The 3rd and 4th line do not look good over 2 games. The Engvall line owned us on Wednesday and it carried over to yesterday. I'll wait for players to return and iron out the wrinkles but don't tell me a team with half the players in there 20's are fatigued after game 1 physically or mentally because if that is the case we are so fkd all season... -

I thought petry looked slow and made bad decisions with the puck. We just can't win faceoffs or get the puck in the zone on PK... somethings never change -

Boy do the leafs look rather ordinary with matthews out of the line up. Am I the only one who thinks they continue to get weaker yearly and have basically done away with all that depth they built up from missing 14 of 15 playoff seasons. With Reilly now set to leave in the summer... -
And likely leading the polls...

Norlinder is older then KK currently... not sure if we can compare. Lots of powerplays so it will be interesting to see how they play 5on5 after they kill the 4 minutes -

I'm interested in seeing how Fairbrother looks. And really interested in the development of Poehling and "if" he can replace KK seamlessly. -

I wouldn't be to sure. Gallagher could very well end up on Evans line. Hoffman out to start the season throws a monkey wrench in the line upright off the hop. -

Did you seriously drop a Washington post opinion piece?? - more then plus 80% double vaxd in Israel highest and longest standing in globe -7/8 months ahead of north america in vax⁸ rollout (meaning we can compare data to Israel in March. - Over half of all hospitalizations and deaths in Isreal currently are double vaxd and they have the highest infections on top of that then any time during this pandemic and its summer time and they are +80% double vaxd for more then 8 months (repeating myself to stress) - no country has been double vaxd longer then the citizens of Israel meaning we will have similar numbers if modeling Israeli and UK data (as well) is aligned This is what truly matters... serious illness/ hospitalizations and deaths Not case counts or total infections And right now it's essentially a 60/40 split DD vax VS unvax It also seems Dr. Fauci says otherwise on transmissabilty then what your saying... remove the opinion and read the data And make your own decision for what's right for you. You should not be punished at work or in school or life in general for deciding to not take a medical procedure without informed consent or fear of being punished. Period. Especially for a vaccine that is yet to be even approved! My pharmacy is preparing for another March surge similar to UK and Isreal... as an fyi and we've stockpiled close to 16 million doses of Pfzier and Moderna. My pharmacy has carried Pfzier for the most part which is the choice of the majority. Discarded alot of Moderna as nobody wanted it and it all expired... With that said, to read the Isreaeli data is a little tough due to language barriers but attached is a link to the most current technical brief provided by Public health England from Feb to August 20, 2021 Page 21/22 is fairly telling and interesting when tracking all hospitalizations and deaths in the country by vaccination status. And to think the numbers in Isreal are worse while considering they are 2 months more advanced then UK in rollout. No opinions just raw data... I really dont want to argue this as I'm for vaccination but totally against forced/ coerced/ mandated vax. Everyone has a choice and that choice should not be made under duress.. and there SHOuLD Not be consequences for choosing to decline... medical tyranny is medical tyranny... Period. Read 👇brief and disect pg 21/22 as we can expect soon enough in Canada https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1014926/Technical_Briefing_22_21_09_02.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi-9a-70JbzAhXAElkFHb_YCo0QFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1br55Y8V9n_M-Tbz91zGnt
