These Expos sweaters are gorgeous, though, compared to the vile thing the Panthers were wearing today.
That thing is horrible

Oof. That's to bad teams going at it there. Hahaha.

I actually thought Dadonov played better the last two games. He shows signs of what was a decent player.
I was about to say the same thing. He looked pretty strong last night.

You benched Suzuki in a pool? Any admins around to rightfully get this man banned?
Haha. I benched hugges against suzuki and hughes put up 3 points. He Saud it himself. He's on a heater.

Slaf has been watching video of big dudes protecting the puck with their backs. Looks like he's applying it tonight.

I benched suzuki for jack hughes in my pool. Whoops. Got it wrong twice in a row.

Well, the defensive 'strategy' of letting them have breakaways isn't usually a wise one. They'll need to counter the Columbus players flying the zone.
Hahaha. Ya it doesn't seem like a great strategy.

The 1945 1946 white with blue stripe is my favorite retro sweater. I wish they'd use it more often

I've seen enough

I'm very impressed with the devils speed and puck battle abilities. They win every race and every battle.

Wow. NJ with the speed and skill! Boys need to look where they're passing. Ugly expos sweaters shouldn't be hard to miss.

They are way ahead of a typical rebuild schedule, thats the main point I am making. i.e. it shouldnt take 3-5 years of sucking and getting top 5 picks to rebuild. Plus, like I've pointed out in another thread that model usually takes 10+ years to win a Cup. Waiting over 10+ years isn't something that people should wish or strive for.
You seem to understand my reasoning on Dach and I'm essentially speculating the same as you. You've given it enough thought - its the people that are disagreeing with me that haven't.
If Dach remains on that line I honestly don't think they will be able to resign him, but the good news is that maybe he can get the Habs 3 1st rnd picks if a team is dumb enough to give him a RFA offer sheet for the amount of $ he will believe he is worth. Out of Cole, Nick and Kirby, who 1 is the top 5 pick? I'm suggesting he'll want more $ than they will, when he is the least valuable of the 3 and isn't worth more. That will be a big problem.
Sheesh. Let's enjoy this rebuild. Not lament the future cost of the players that are in early stages of their careers.

Holy crap that was an entertaining game. Kirby Dach is great so far in a Habs jersey. That line is scarey every shift. Suzuki has definitely found another level this year.

Demko doesn't look sharp early which I guess has been one of the big problems for Vancouver this season.
Oof. He's killing my hockey pool. I think I need to drop him.

Go Marty go.
Lapointe got him working on his biceps i wonder?
“He’s got legs that would make bodybuilders jealous,” his personal trainer, Ben Prentiss, told Muscle & Fitness magazine when St. Louis was still playing. In 2013, St. Louis’s legs were featured in ESPN The Magazine’s body issue with photos focusing on athletes’ physiques.
When I mentioned to the 47-year-old St. Louis in Winnipeg that he looks like he could still play, he smiled and said: “Maybe on the PP.”
My daughter dated a prospect who trained with the lightening, rangers and flames. He said st Louis was the most devoted to conditioning of anybody he practiced or played with.

Early days, but given the irrational way the Hawks were blowing up their young core, I thought there was a reasonable hope that Dach could prove to be a canny acquisition. Let’s hope this great play continues (we should remember that KK had little hot spells, and everyone gushed over him when he did, just like we’re now doing over Dach).
It's always good to keep some perspective and try to gain wisdom from the past, so I tend to agree with this point. There is not enough sample size for sure. I was prepared for disappointment with dach, but since training camp, I have liked what I've seen from him. I am hopeful that he can continue to develope and fill that 2c need in the future.

Slaf, Cole, and Suzy make me so happy when they score. We've got a likeable future core! (if they produce)
I'm pretty happy with dach so far as well. I like him more than kk.

(I think he has struggled more than some want to admit in terms of getting beat with speed and being too slow to react)
I have noticed this as well. I was going to mention it during the wild game. I think he needs to go down. Of the 3 rookie defense, Harris has impressed me the most. He consistently makes smart plays in his own zone.
