Backbreaker is right. Ffs.

Tough 2nd. Sheesh.

Slaf! Team speed and execution is looking great so far.

Good start.

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.

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.

Good observation. Laine Dach need to be together for their offense and newhook is the one player who can defend.

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.

Dobes in the zone.

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.

I agree.

It was a good game thread.

Big 4 point win. Love it

Too many lazy stick penalties boys. Need to fix that in the 3rd. Luck and bounces are on their side tonight.

We took a bus to expo in grade 7. Good times.

Saw them live in Vancouver in 93. I was annoyed that the butthole surfers couldn't do the make it.

You must be around my age.

Love that clip. Having morning skates and practices means they had time to schedule those in. For the last month the schedule has been so packed that they've had little time for anything. The shaky play I 3 of the last 4 games is likely fatigue.

High danger chances against in the first 25 games were likely through the roof. Monty has played well overall behind the team after they fixed their defense. A Monty 1A Dobes 1B or backup makes the most sense.

We need to see how Dobes bounces back from last night. He didn't play great. We need to see how he bounces back from a couple stinkers. Even after seeing that, we need to see his averages after 20 or 30 games. No issue riding the hot hand if one goalie is playing poorly game after game, but Monty has played well overall with the exception of Saturday.

Hes signed for 3 years at 8.7 million. If Dubas says it's rebuild time, he could pile up assets like crazy. Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Karlsson.

This schedule is just crazy. The team doesn't practice or even do morning skates anymore.

I think he is as good, minus the unrealistic shooting percentage. But it does show how important Heineman was to that line. He's an NHLer on any team.

Brian Wilde today said that if the Habs are buyers at tdl, they should go all in on Crosby. Saying it will take 2 high end and 2 mid tier assets. His proposal is both 1sts if they are in the teens, Mailloux, and Beck. I was surprised to see him throw this out there. If Penguins are sellers, do you go for it?

Entertaining game so far.
