Dach should be sweating…his replacement is almost readyDach should be sweating over an echl regular taking his job. He is completely useless at hockey now. Feel bad for him. But he isn’t an nhler right now.

It was nice to see 15, 17, 22 find some chemistry. That’s a fast trio.

They may be better with Guhle in the current lineup, but would they be better without Guhle and with whoever would be acquired in a trade that included Guhle? THAT is the relevant question.
Exactly.

Guhle is usually the key piece in proposals. He is offered in deals because he holds significant value.
We don’t want to trade him but you aren’t adding a significant player to our roster without giving up quality in return.
Left Defence is a position of abundance for the Habs even with Struble gone
I'm not sure we value him high enough though. It's remarkable how much better the defense is when he is playing. I feel like he fills an important need on the team.

It seems like every trade proposal I see includes some combination plus Guhle. I don't want to come off as a fanboy, but this team is way better with Guhle playing vs when he is injured. Its only eye test, but watching their defensive play when he is not playing is painful. He comes back and they are significantly better. He doesn't put up points but he has value. If other teams don't see him as valuable, I would not include him as a throw in.

Tonights 3 stars were
1 Fowler
2 Bolduc
3 Texier
Danault line was dangerous all night.
Suzuki like was not great
Newhook line was useless. Or maybe not they didnt generate much
Evans line was OK
Hutson is incredible
Guhle really stabilizes the backend
Suzuki made a few amazing defensive plays. He good.
PP is atrocious. Defenders dont even have to move. Stand in the 4 man box and wait for them to screw up. Lol

If you had been on a desert isle and didn’t know Price had retired, or remember how tall he was, you would have thought he was playing tonight.
Ya. I like Fowler. Hes so calm.

Nashville did have better goaltending, which made capitalizing on chances harder for the Habs.
Yep. How many games have we seen Price do this to other teams? Sometimes you get goalied. Habs dominated a full 60 minutes. 4 mistakes and 4 goals against.

Who starts in goal?
Does Engström get to play? Does Kapanen get back into the lineup? If yes, who sits?
See ya tomorrow
Slaf and Arber have not impressed. Slaf might look a bit better in his own zone protected by Kap. Arber is not an NHLer. Dach is not a top 6er. Newhook Kap Slaf.
Engstrom over Arber.

I think they need to figure out how to play when their speed is taken away. That and some puck battle practice. It feels like Carolina just crushes us on puck battles. Im not a coach, so I don't know what the answer is, but holy moly these Canes dominate us.

11-3 shots. Holy crap.

Boys need to shake it off here. Tough period so for.

I just saw that Lyle Odelein passed away. Sad. Way too young.

The Canucks are in classic ‘rebuild’ mode and that means playing the kids. It helps when you’re pumping six goals past whichever clown the Oilers are throwing between the pipes on any given night.
Gally will get his shifts, but I hope he can avoid looking like a pathetic case before all is said and done. No matter what happens now, he has had a great career and it will be fun when we have a night honouring him at the Bell Centre in a couple of years.
Yep. Makes me feel old. I was older saying, I like that kid, in WJC. Now he is old. Uggh

Nylander undressed the whole team.

4th line mismatch. Dept. 47 and 72 caught together late in a shift. Ouch.

I dont get the Reinbacher demotion. Thought he played well
Played well. Looks strong and smart defensively. Plays the position where there is a gaping hole. Very confusing.

I’m surprised that Reinbacher got sent down.
Me as well. I truly thought that he would get every chance to become an nhler.

I have tickets to Montreal’s Calgary (1st row ice level by face off has marks), and Edmonton (2nd row ice level almost same spot) games, despite the Calgary tickets being at a better location and being secondary market purchase with the additional transaction fees, they are cheaper than the direct purchase Oiler tickets. On top of that the secondary resale pricing for the oilers game are even more insane!!
I bit the bullet and bought 8 seats in a row for cgy. PRIME seats. 3rd row directly beside visitors tunnel. My seat is kind of behind players bench and right by the tunnel. 650 a piece from reseller. Not bad.

My gut “feels” like we picked a bust but I think he will get enormous opportunity to show us what he has.
This is my thought as well.

When did they "keep playing" Joshua Roy? Did he even play 40 games in his whole Habs career? They hardly tried to force him as an NHLer.
A few years ago. He obviously wasn't ready. But there was a need, and they kept trying him. I feel like he got more chances than a lot of people do. Just going off memory.

Well, is this the year Reinbacher makes the squad full-time?
2026 Montreal Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #8 David Reinbacher
Weaknesses
Reinbacher has the skating, shot, and playmaking ability needed to play in the NHL. The bigger question is whether he can consistently put all of those pieces together. There are stretches when he looks every bit like an NHL defenceman, and others when you forget he’s even out there. That’s not unusual for a young player, but Reinbacher needs to make those disappearing acts less frequent. At this stage, it’s less about adding another tool to the toolbox and more about getting the old faithfuls to show up every night.I think Engels is right. Reinbacher will get the Joshua Roy chance. They will keep playing him. Keep giving him chances and hope he fits. It is a big hole and it shrinks a great deal even if he can fill in as number 6. My guess is that if he doesn't work out, it won't be for lack of han es.

Definitely not the 3rd line. Those 3 are a good mismatch against other team’s 3rd lines.
