IN THE HEARTS OF MEN

Friday to +Friday now for the flu, yet he's skated last two days? Not buying it... he is nursing something undisclosed is my guess

I had the semi double grafted for mu acl and lcl... knees great but, hammy gave me issues for years afterwards until I built it up again

stay the course unless its "an offer you cant refuse" ala Laine and a pick for Harris, which clearly isnt going to be the case. We will be in CAP chaos after taking him on.

It's would be a long tribute

So basically less than a handful.

This is not happening... its not even a consideration

I can't remember the last first overall pick that didn't play in the NHL day 1... Nail Yakapuv? Rick DiPietro? Stefan? Maybe 2 or 3 players in last 40 50 years?

This is crazy talk....

Classic Montreal playing up to or down to there opponent! The team wasn't ready to start this game. Old habits are hard to break, and were back in the forefront last night. Undisciplined penalties, bad turnovers from poor decisions, and laziness at times. The coaching was bad to. Why add Pezzetta to the lineup and give him only 5 minutes. If you consider he had 2 shots and what 5 hits? He should of could of scored as well on one of the highest danger chances in the game. If you dont trust him just roll extended shifts to Caufield Gally and Heinemen. Or just waive the guy and call someone up. I feel this is a rare occasion that they didnt treat their player fairly. I am not advocating for Pezzetta at all, and understand you don't want to break up the Evans line up but seriously... again not ready to play and NO respect for Chicago. Also, Struble failed to make an impact in his chance to play, and that came at the same time Carrier and Guhle played their worse game since becoming a pair.

Let's not forget he wanted Glass and had to "settle" for Suzuki. Unless that was some sort of masterclass of demanding one player but really after the guy Vegas conceded to give up In Suzuki. I tend do believe he got dealt a really lucky hand in that deal.

That would depend on the procedure. If a cadaver was used and adheres to bone, than he could be back early 8 months as was Andrei Markov. However, Andrei's cadaver failed on him and he than opted for patella tendon graph. Most procedures aren't reported on. 1) cadaver quickest recovery but most risky 2) Patella Graph medium recovery 3) semitendinosus graph longest recovery due to muscle atrophy of ham and quad but most successful long term

For sure... I think the battle is Evans vs Kap and Beck.

I would think Demidov will quickly work his way into the top 6 next season pushing Newhook down and Dvorak to free angency. Newhook looked good between a variety of wingers on the 3rd line last season, and has shown he can be a 3C on a Stanley Cup winner taking a regular shift. We are only getting better

I dont believe there's room for him on this roster regardless of what "line" he plays on. Is he an upgrade (salary concerns aside) than Armia or Heinemen? With all of Beck Roy and Demidov knocking on the door, no room for this project.

My guess is Chicago and if he gets a result, again in Washington

1) How huge is the bounce that Dach gets for the GWG. I mean, after two goals coming off the heals of his errors. To have a 2nd bounce go his way in back to back games... It's a very important development. 2) Hughes needs to be fined. That was some kind of grand larceny... I know it's not even 10 games but, WTF was Nashville thinking. 3) What a forecheck. Have a Happy HABS New Year... 2025 is gonna be wild

We have no room for Puljarvi

MSL actually said that this hybrid system is played by many teams and not hard actually. He said quote the team needed to work harder and do better with risk management. Thats what the team is doing right now, and it coincided with a healthy roster (finally) for the first time in 3 1/2 seasons.

I wonder if putting both Math and Hutson together has forced both to reign it in a bit for the better. Only 20 shots tonight v TB. When was the last time we did that?

I did not see what you see with Hutson. This kid even flew into OTT to see his bro smash Germany, than flew in for the FLA game. I can see Hutson playing endless games. He initiates almost all contact and evades almost all checks. ... and he's 20...

All the talk of Dach, Laine, Hutson etc... Where's the love for the newly acquired Carrier. We have been very good since his addition. And Arber.... he has been a revelation for a good 10/ 15 games now. Poor Struble and his preseason form having everyone pencil him in as a mainstay. Looks like an injury only will get him back into this line up.

Lane is our #1 Dman

MSL patience with Dach has been admirable. Ideally Dach needs up to 18 months post-op to really begin to see him back to his former self. He's at 15 months now. The 2 biggest takeaways from his last 2/3 games is skating and risk management (he's trying to get to spaces more often now).He is hard on the back check and looks much faster on his skates. Has he taken off his brace? Whatever may be the case, a 2nd line propelled by Dach, will really help this team in the 2nd half of season.

Who we kidding here. If Laine gets extended, it will likely be as our highest paid player AAV Hes taking a pay cut? Everyone should give their head a shake if you think he comes anywhere near under the 8.7 he currently makes.

I honestly think, out of all our LD, it's Hutson that can play the off wing the best... hes the most elusive, has the most deception in his movements, (barely gets hit thus far) and the most accurate first pass... I think Guhle at times gets lit up when gathering pucks off the right side... I agree Math and Lane are two peas in a pod though. Guhle Lane Math Carrier Xhekaj Savard * Arber has had a run of fine form, playing a steady game in the back. It spinnaker be tough getting Struble back in the line up
