  1. I agree with what you said but even though I disagree with him I do believe there is potentially some truth in his statement. After all, the Nords never won the Cup and that is primarily because the Habs always beat them in the playoffs. I tend to think that if the Nords had won a Cup they probably wouldn't have lost their team. In that sense I could see why Nords fan blame the Habs.
  2. I don't like cheering or the Habs to lose and especially against the Booins but the last game and this 1 would have been good games to not get any points. I want to see close games without them picking up points. Realistically, there are only so many games left and the Sens and Yotes probably only have 6 wins left in them. Therefore, the Habs cannot win more more than 4 games for those 2 teams to pass them in the standings. Luckily those teams both won last night but they only gained 1 point on the Habs.
  3. It's unfortunate that CBJ didn't take 1 more shot because the record for shots in a Habs home game shutout is 42. It's a 3 way tie for that record: Plante, Theodore, and Price. Primeau would be in good company if they had taken but 1 more shot. If they had taken 2 more shots that record would be his. I didn't see the entire game but I easily saw him make 4-5 goal robbing saves so it was a well earned SO.
  4. I didn't see the entire game and in fact I didn't catch any of the goals. I'll have to watch recap for sure. However, I did see that Primeau was tested pretty good and especially late in the 3rd where he made several huge saves in the last 5 mins to main the shutout. It's ironic that's the Habs 2nd shutout this year, and he has both of them. I believe in his 1st SO he had under 20 shots but I heard the announcer say he had 40 in this game.
  5. I'm hearing that Dach might play in some of the last games of this season. He's recovering well and giving him a few games wont risk him over compensating and causing another injury. I want Florida to tank next year too and with some injury luck it might be possible. Last year NJ was really strong and they were sellers at this years trade deadline. Arber had a fairly poor game defensively but he did have 7 shots. Surprisingly, Pezz had 8 hits and only played 6:45 mins. Domi seemed to go after Slaf numerous times, well when no other Habs were around. There was 1 scrum around the Habs net where Domi was at his best behavior and just stood there like a saint, but WiFi was standing right there.
  6. I tend to agree, although I did think he was a decent backup, but that is all he was. He is unable to consistently play day to day for whatever reason. I always viewed Allen's contract as 1 of Hughes' 1st mistakes and this trade tends to back my opinion up. Like stated this trade is the 1st retention spot regarding a player Hughes signed. The fact he was traded and used a retention spot tends to suggest that it wasn't a good contract signing. Yes, it is good that the 3 goalie tandem has ended but it would be better if the Habs weren't using 2 retention spots for next year. I would have preferred him taking a bad contract back that ended this summer because the Habs still have too many bad MB contracts that go into next year. The retention from this trade will make it harder for Hughes to move MB's bad contracts. With 2 retention spots used up Hughes might only be able to move 1 of them - and I hope it is Dvo. I was confused why you made your original comment. When I saw the stipulation I figured there would be no chance of the pick increasing to a 2nd. It seems like it's basically there to give the false impression there could be more.
  7. I honestly can't see KK being bought out. What I can see if the Cannes dump KK is him admitting that there was collusion before UFA day regarding his offer sheet. I find Toffoli to the Jets to be extremely interesting. I'm wondering if there will be some benefit to the Habs from that? i.e. if Toffs plays with Money and they mesh well together. There is a decent chance that Money returns to the Habs so will his new linemate want to return with him? Neither of them are greedy with their contract asks so the Habs might be able to get 2 60+ pts guy for under $11 mil. They'd be good linemates for Dach.
  8. I agree that Hughes seems to be more of a humanitarian than most other GM's. That was a big part of my previous suggestion that the Habs might move Pezz. If the Habs decided to move on from Pezz they could easily send him to Laval but that could potentially kill his NHL career. In that scenario Hughes would likely send him to a team where he would stick around, like Van.
  9. Yep, the Habs 1st line has been on fire and that's a great sign for future years. I agree with Roy too. In 2-3 years I tend to think that Roy and Beck will be a huge part of their shut down/checking 3rd line that will be almost as good as their 2nd line. Any difference in production will be primarily due to TOI rather than a vast difference in talent. i.e. Roy and Beck are fairly offensive too but they're better defensively than Dach and whoever else ends up on the 2nd line. At this time it's incredibly hard to project who might be the other player on that 3rd line because of all the prospects they have plus who else they draft. However, I somewhat expect that it could eventually be Florian.
  10. I agree about KK and I had a similar thought earlier in the season regarding Danault. At 1 point he was somewhat in the dog house with LA but that has since changed to Dubois. I don't blame KK's agent though. I tend to think that there was likely some semi-illegal interference by Waddell and his Fins. ex: he probably told his Fins that he wanted to offer sheet KK and when they were in Finland over the summer they ran into KK and told him that. It seemed like KK was holding out knowing that he would get an offer-sheet - and he knew exactly what team.
  11. My internet has been acting up lately so I only saw a bit of it on the Preds feed but I did see the great turnover at center and Roy's snipe. I haven't seen Savards goal yet so I have no idea what happened but I heard the announcers talking about it being weird. Plus, I saw the intermission where they were asking if anyone had seen something like that before and Gill said he's seen similar before but its definitely rare. Apparently, that's the 20th OT that the Habs have been in this year. Suzuki has been playing like a Savage!!
  12. I agree but not sure what you mean regarding full man strength. He's 5'11" and 210 lbs. He's easily 10-15lbs heavier than a lot of players his height. Nick is already strong for his height and he'll likely put on more muscle. If he gains another 5 lbs he will be the identical size of Clutterbuck. 1 of my favourite plays of the game: Savard tripped up Tkachuk and then Arber happened to skate by and noticed him lying on the ice so he gave him a friendly jab in the ribs with his stick.
  13. I'm somewhat torn for the outcome of this game. I certainly want to Habs to draft higher than the Yotes but I definitely don't want to see the Habs lose 6 in a row. The Habs are up by 1 on Armia's goal from a nice pass by Newhook on the rush. They need to do more rushes like that, they are basically built to be fast and skilled to specifically to do that.
  14. There are numerous potential problems to the trade proposals regarding Andy or Savard and I wouldn't move either of them this year at all. Like has been stated Andy is at his all time low so it would be hard to move him or get a high value for him and I tend to agree that he could possibly rebound next season anyway. Savard is a vet that is actually playing well and his salary isn't crazy, plus is Reinbacher or Mailloux ready to take his place yet? That's a big unknown right now. Yes, moving the highest paid albatross contract makes the most sense, but do you really want the Habs to be involved in the historic 1st trade of the Lake Placid Cougars and send them Gally and 2 1st rnd pics for futures? Gally isn't going anywhere because Hughes would have to handsomely pay a team to take him. Not to mention he is the longest serving Habs player and he deserves to be on the Habs Cup winning team. It sucks Dvo got injured and is unable to increase his worth this year too. He'll likely be difficult to move as well. Another issue is that almost all of the players that are being mentioned to trade off are all the Habs oldest and most experienced players. With all the youngsters the Habs have they absolutely need to have some vets. Having almost an entire team of under 25 year olds isn't exactly a good idea. They need to have some veterans to be leaders.
  15. Yes, a 1 timer is form of a snapshot, but it isn't teeing right off on it - which can be done with a stationary puck. No difference eh? Do you want to know what's whacky? 107.2 FM. Oh wait, my bad -that's not a radio station, that's MPH; as in Arber's new hardest shot. https://www.habsfanatics.com/nhl-team/montreal-canadiens/wow-arber-xhekaj-almost-broke-zdeno-chara-record-for-the-hardest-shot Other shots recorded that were higher: Weber - 107.9 Chara - 108.8 - the current NHL record. You should seriously do yourself a favour and stop talking about Arber because so far to date you haven't said a single thing about him that has been remotely correct. Not bloody once. Remember, that your 1st comment on him was he's an AHL lifer and that he'd never make the NHL.
