  1. Read something about Slaf this weekend. He'd have worked closely with Glen Tucker, aka Dr. Shot. Tucker is known from working with such names as Pastrnak, Bergeron, Eichel, etc. Article said that Pasta didn' have that good of a shot/release when he started in the NHL. Just like Slaf it seems.
  2. Legit concerns earlier this season as they were supposed to go with Vanecek (somewhat proven, Jake Allen caliber) and Akira Schmid who had taken over the #1 role during last year's playoffs (à la Adin Hill). Both have been very dissapointing this season though with under .900 sv%. Nico Daws as well. Maybe I'm alone on this, but for me, the Devils are clear cut #1 bust this season around the league. Of course they lost Hamilton after only 20 games and Jack Hughes as well as Hischier both missed time too, but 24th overall ?!?! I had them contending for the Metro before season started.
  3. 2 post for Suzuki and 1 for Caufield though. Could have been much different for the first line.
  4. I seem to remember that you had Mysak as a fringe 1st rounder at the time and that you were excited about this pick. Sucks that it didn't pan out.
  5. Nothing straight up, but since it's Walker + 5th for Johansen + 1st, maybe the Avs would have settled for Savard + 3rd/late 2nd instead. But I guess, they'd probably be more interested in the dman they get than the value in the pick along with him.
  6. Would have loved the Habs to do the Walker deal for Johansen + 1st.
  7. Probably because there was no winter. I shovelled my driveway only twice over the whole "winter".
  8. At some point, the Habs will need to aim bigger than Lukas Reichel, don't you think ?
  9. As for the Habs, young players awaiting for the management to tell them to get their own place, they used to stay at the Renaissance hotel.
  10. Media in QC here asking the fans who they would target as part of a significant trade : 1. Trevor Zegras 2. Kent Johnson 3. Kaapo Kakko 4. Matt Boldy 5. Casey Mittelstadt 6. Elias Pettersson 7. Dylan Cozens 8. Other Not sure we want to go as big as Pettersson (or even Boldy), but some interesting names in there.
  11. Best game of Xhekaj’s career so far. And not just cuz of the physical game.
  12. The joke is that Ylonen would probably only look great surrounded by Crosby, Malkin, Karlsson and Letang. You don't seem very good with social skills stuff man. Chill out.
  13. I agree 100%. A few weeks ago, we joked around with friends that if you'd put Ylonen in Guentzel's jersey without telling anyone, there is a chance we might not be able to tell the difference that easily.
  14. Habs already drafted Mailloux and they faced some serious backlash for this. I doubt they even consider taking on Hart or any player involved in this scandal, even if it's only for cap purpose.
  15. My thoughts exactly. What I take from this story, if it's true, is that Drury is a little cry baby. If you don't have enough confidence in your own thought process and decision making skills that you're gonna be mad at another GM for hiring people you recently fired, probably believing that this hiring makes you look stupid in the eyes of other GMs around the league, then you should quit this job. It's not for you.
  16. In a perfect world, in 3 years from now, I think WiFi should be our #6-#7 who gets dressed for 30-35 games (barring injuries), the games that involve more physical teams and/or "goons". I definitely like what he brings to the table, but I don't believe it is required in 100% of the games. I believe his presence makes the other players play a bit bigger and with more confidence when it comes to checking and after the whistle scrums. It has an importance on the ice and in the locker room. But not every night.
  17. Don't know about outside of Montreal, but here in town, the hotel affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens is Renaissance. If an affiliation exists between the team and an hotel chain, then your best bet would be the Marriot hotels (which Renaissance are part of).
  18. I hate to pin losses on an individual but man... Josh Anderson could have won this game at least twice, if not 3 times. Just finish Josh please !!!
  19. 10000% right. If they ever bring back tie games, I'm cancelling my season tickets for sure.
  20. Can't believe no one is talking about this save. It's t-shirt material.
