Guhle is a stud.

I didnt see the hold

Blowout coming I think. Habs struggled with jets forecheck. Allen bailed em out. Doubt the goalie steals thus one

Slaf gave away far more picks than he did something good with, looks lost with the puck, loses almost every contested puck. These great set ups you refer to were far from that. Rose coloured glasses on you, Slaf does not look like he belongs in the NHL.was at game and was very obvious live.
still think he will turn out to be useful but still far too young, scared.
He was a giveaway machine last game. Needs to shoot more too. It will come. He's noticeably better this year than last when he has the puck.

Guhle was the best skater on the team tonight. Allen stole that game. Monahan is good. Slavkovski had a lot of giveaways. That means he had the puck though so...

Why is Gallagher on the PP?
Because he's been getting some dirty points lately

I thought he coasted a little too much in this game... hes a big boy and can skate, so I'd like to see him press a bit more and keep those feet moving and two hands on his stick more often away from the puck. But LY to TY is already night and day after just 5 games.
Oh there is still a long way to go. Don't get me wrong. But the progress is noticeable I feel.

Slafkovsky is going to be a special player. He is completely transformed from last season.
It’s so visible. he looks good. My co worker saying he had a bad game. I didn’t see that at all. He is getting way more touches, and making way better choices with those touches.

Slafkovsky has been continuing his strong play. He looks a different player from last year
I agree.

Perhaps I had my rose colored glasses on, but I was pleased to see slafkovski skating and protecting the puck throughout the game. I feel like, even in this stinker, he looks better than last year. The egregious stick chop was terrible, and his other penalty wasn't great. Don't get me wrong. It was a garbage game and everyone but 26 sucked, but slaf looks better.

Suzuki is a prove player, leader and rises to any challenge. The perfect 1C for a market like Mtl.
Dach showed half a season of potential and you’re yapping about his usurping Suzuki. That’s ignorant to the realities and also super dismissive of everything Suzuki has done and continues to do. Such a stupid thing to say.
That's pretty aggressive. I agree with him. Dach hasn't, but could take that top c position. He has all of the tools. The potential is there. This is a huge setback.

Dach isn't at their level yet, but 30 years of major injuries to key players is getting old.
Koivu: knee. Never the same
Markov: several years of knee.
Price: knee.
Weber: Foot ankle
Other teams get decades with healthy key players.
-
Dach injury hurts. Not just because he is so darn good on his own, but because of his influence on Slafkovsky. They seemed to have chemistry. I'm a huge dach fan. I like him more than suzuki.
-
1) 38 wins 36 losses 8 SO/OT wins 84 pts
2)7th in Atlantic
3)21st in league
4)4 x 20 goal scorers
5) suzuki with 82 points
Ya baby

I tried something different for a postgame format last night - any feedback (good or bad) is appreciated to see if this is a style we'd like to switch to regularly, some of the time, or not at all.

I like it. A full game recap is easily found via video. I enjoyed the format of the ten thoughts.

Tonight I felt like Ghule was the best hab. He had a great game. Gignac was noticeably good. I bet he gets another look or 2. Norlinder had a pretty good game. Slafkovsky has looked much better when he gets touches. Firstly he's getting a lot if touches. secondly, he's looking dangerous and making good choices when he gets them.
-
A righty as well. Go bogdan

I watch probably 60 to 70 games when they suck. And closer to 80 when they're giid

Nothing is inevitable. I am obviously higher on Dach than most as he looked dominant at times last year. There were times when he seemed to own the puck, never saw that with Eller although Eller had a couple stretches where the puck went in a lot. My concern with Dach is staying healthy as it seems like he has had his share of injuries in a short career, maybe just a fluke I hope.
I'm with you. I just think dach has all of the tools and if his health and confidence can stat strong, I'm big on him. Love to see his f/o % reach mid 40s this year.

39 games 15g 48pts, what will he do to follow that up, a hobey baker trophy, then help Laval in the playoffs next spring?
2023 Montreal Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #6 Lane Hutson (habseyesontheprize.com)
1st game of his season...i think?
HC Lugano vs EHC Kloten 1:30 pm (Biasca, Switzerland)
Hopefully he puts on a minimum 10 of weight. Future top pairing player? His development has been exciting to follow.

Definitely an organizational public perception shift from "if you want loyalty, buy a dog".
Given Hughes' comments in general about Petry, he wasn't really blocking anyone, as there was absolutely zero intent on keeping Petry. He was merely a key piece in a trade they wanted to make.
I said: ‘Listen, I know you didn’t go to bed expecting to hear from me this morning. I was probably one of the last people you expected to.’ I know they were as a family uptight. They’ve got four young boys and they were about to start school in two weeks. So I gave him my word. I said: ‘Listen, we saw an opportunity here to facilitate the trade between Pittsburgh and San Jose and to help ourselves. But we’re mindful that you’ve got a family and your own career and Montreal’s probably not the place you’re expecting to play.’ I promised him that we would work expeditiously to get him moved and that we wouldn’t drag this out trying to maximize every last piece of value in the trade. It probably took a little longer than we anticipated.”
Word gets around with this sort of culture. I'm sure it's similar to corporate life. I left a company where I had more stress and poor culture for a job with slightly less pay, and a very good culture. This is a good look for the organization.

I was looking at it more from the overall roster construction perspective. The Habs now have depth on RD and goaltending, got rid of most of the boat anchor contracts and will have a lineup full of young players with decent talent.
They have a shot at squeaking into the playoffs if their goaltenders are healthy and perform well. If only their powerplay could produce more consistently.
If everyone is healthy:
Monahan-Suzuki-Caufield
Newhook-Dach-Anderson
HarveyPinard-Dvorak-Gallagher
Pezzetta-Evans-Armia
Ylönen
Matheson-Barron
Guhle-Savard
Xhekaj/Harris-Kovacevic
Wideman or LindstromYou think Slaf will be in Laval?
-
What a strange trade. That's all Petry was worth? The good here I suppose is the optics that this management team will do players a solid. This could help them down the road when they're in the Ufa market.
So end result is
Hoffman+Pitlick+ 2.3 mill cap space for 2 years
Lagare, Desmith, Lindstrom, 2nd, 4th.
Bonus of some good karma with players?
