I couldn't agree more

the way I understand those numbers is iGF/60 = actual individual goals for per 60min ixGF/60 = expected individual goals for per 60min what I do not know if the 60 min is 60 minutes played or per game. since some players play 8 minutes and others play 16 min per game, I wonder if those numbers should be pro-rated to actual minutes played per game... In this view, bottom-6 players like Perreault, Armia, Lehkonen seem to have better expected numbers than top-6 forwards; which in my understanding points to Drouin, Suzuki, Toffoli, Caufield and Gallagher to be due for a streak is that correct? or am I wrong?

The type of game I was expecting during training camp. But they were faltering back then already

Josh Anderson seems to be playing like Mario Lemieux tonight

Pezzetta has looked good Habs are better than the Wings which says a lot about how that rebuild is working for Detroit the team is playing much better within Duch’s system

dare I suggest/ask... wrong thread ? 😬

At this point in his career , Caufield is a complimentary scoring player at best we all hope he will become THE top sniper on the team at some point in his career, but to expect him to be that right now is none sense

better than the options: Ouellet, Belpedio, Fairbrother, Schueneman

But Caufield has not finished his development yet?! How could he count? Let the kid continue developing, he is not Brett Hull yet

I thought Drouin and Suzuki were 1st rounders, Armia too ?! confused confused ?!

he is not better than Lebeau right now

I think Drouin 2.0 will be fine at centre for a game or two

Hey, did I jinx the kid?

Good find, if you look at that post from me, it follows others where I was making the point that we were getting carried away; and finished with this sarcastic remark of feeding the hype machine it’s all good

@titanfan . let’s not get carried away. Caufield has shown more potential than DiPietro and Dione closer to Lebeau for now and will get better

The Laval Rocket seems to be playing much more structured game this year. Level seems strong and that will probably help both goalies have a better season this year

Absolutely and I restate my views from the beginning of the season that rushing Caufield and expecting him to be a 30g scorer this season was premature and unrealistic Go Caufield Go!!!! Become the star you are meant to be in Laval!!! Come back and be a force to be reckoned with!!! Go Caufield Go!!!!

Laval has lots of veterans, he will be well taken care of Pezzetta had a good camp and has been a dynamic player in Laval this year. I would prefer Pezzetta over Brooks on the 4th line

Well deserved for Pezzetta!! if he could wear #30 , I would be happy

Still have not found my usual positive outlook on the Habs. Wearing the Kotkaniemi avatar makes want to blow up the team, fire all the bums and give all fans a $20 credit at the Bell shot to buy a pin, a pen, or a puck... ‘cause that is how inflated prices are for anything Habs

Doubt he signs up for more of the same and I don’t think most fans would want him I would like to see him do the rebuild because I think he would do a better job than most other alternatives

agreed, not my plan A but we are now down to plan f*kc it

for the Duck's top line?

as long as we do not get another 3rd overall pick that will bail in 3 years on an offer sheet

Looking at whom the Habs may keep and who may be available to trade Keepers: ====== Core forwards: Suzuki, Caufield, Drouin, Dvorak, Anderson 4th liners to keep: Lehkonen, Evans, Brooks Minute-eating Ds: Edmundson, Savard Prospects at D : Romanov, Niku, We are stuck with: Price/Allen Trade for picks or prospects: ===================== Hoffman, Gallagher, Toffoli, Armia, Byron Petry, Chiarot, Kulak , Wideman Out of those players, the Habs may get: one late 1st round pick, 3 to 4 2nd round picks and maybe 2-3 prospects ... But no franchise changing assets. So, I think that the goal should be to load on picks more than prospects and to rebuild
