  1. Is Newhook overpaid? If not, I would just as soon hang onto him. If the price is right, that speed is a good tool.
  2. Way too many defensive errors tonight. I'd say Dobes would like to have a couple of these back.
  3. Poor effort without the puck yielded expected results. I suspect St. Louis is changing his style as the team matures. They have shown they can play the system. Now, accountability will start creeping in. In the big picture, as long as they don't completely lose their identity, the team is generally where I had hoped they would be. Moving from top 5 pick to placing somewhere in the 16 to 24 range. Time to shift my mindset from wildcard race back to individual development. Slafkovsky development is probably my biggest concern. Go Slaf.
  4. He tries stick handling through crowds and fails every single time. Loses the puck steady.
  5. Me neither. What a classy gesture. Inspired by the fans cheering him on i suspect.
  6. MAF is a certified beauty. I love watching clips of his antics. Gonna miss him.
  7. Out indefinitely after surgery on a lacerated quad.
  8. Yep. Dominated the first. Got dominated in the 2nd. 3rd Habs had a slight edge in overall play. The difference was the best 1st line in the league was that. The best goalie in the world was that. Couple bounces.
  9. Slaf! Team speed and execution is looking great so far.
  10. I argued with my coworkers endlessly about this. I was frustrated that they couldn't see Price's superior traits. I still remember marveling at his lateral movement, positioning, anticipation, puck tracking, rebound control. He looked almost robotic. It still makes me sad that the Habs never gave him a single good team. They had good seasons and playoff runs, but he never had run support.
  11. Right now, Hutson would probably land in the top 5 in a redraft. 2 or 3 years from now, who knows? The hope is that slaf can find his place in the league and start playing like Nash.
  12. Good observation. Laine Dach need to be together for their offense and newhook is the one player who can defend.
  13. Do you work with the Dach line in their own zone or break them up and put Andy or Armia on it? They are playing pretty well offensively, but in their own zone, they get hemmed in a lot. Suzuki and Evans lines seemed to outplayed their machup. Dach and Dvorak lines not so much.
  14. If your numbers were Dobes 15-3 Monty 26-13 Beck 5-1 I might be more willing to entertain your ideas. Dobes looked incredible for 2 games and has slowly regressed over his last 3. There is no sample size. You must see that. Dobes has looked shaky and let in some stinkers. Give it time to work out. He's a backup. Not a 1A. Maybe he will play his way into a 1B and take over as 1A, but that will take a pile of games. Not 4 or 5 but 25 or 35. Monty has let in some softies. I suspect he will continue to do that. We don't know what we have in Dobes yet. Give it time. Remember Matt Dagostini. RHP. Countless other mid to level players. They get called up and ride a high and overperform. Eventually it evens out.
