I think that the key with Gallagher moving forward will be to keep his playing time below 14 minutes per game! That way, we can get the most out of him!
-
May the hockey gods bless Guhle. I'm really liking this kid!
-
Oh well. There goes the shutout for Monty!
-
Ŵhat a goal b Caufield! Everyone keeps saying that he's gonna score 50goals, but I just couldn't get myself to believe it. Mostly because I haven't seen a Habs player score 50 since Richer in 1989! The more I see him play, the more i'm convinced he's gonna score 50!!

jezus christ. We were leading by two goals with 8 minutes to go and
weAllenchoked! -
Oh baby! Habs PP coming up!
-
At least we get one point! Not too bad!
-
####ing Matthews! I THink that had Monty Started this game, it would be 5-3 for the Habs!
-
That was a bullshit call on Evans...and of course, the LEafs score!
-
Now that the shock factor is no longer an issue, I don't have a problem with this pick. I just hope that MIchkov or Leonard won't become superstars in the league.
I think Reinbacher will be a good second pairing D-man who can play big minutes. Who knows, maybe he and Hutson will be our #1 and #2 for many years to come on the first pairing!
As with every draft, time will tell!
-
La Presse has just announced that Caufield signed an 8 year contract averaging out to 7.85 million$ per year!
This is great news. Looking forward to watching Cole and Nick light it up for many years to come!

As much as I loved Price, I don't think his number should be retired. In my book; No cup, no jersey retirement! Unless you dominate your position sooooo much that you just can't get around it. (ie: à la Hasek who 6 vezina trophies) Carey only won 1 Vezina trophy. I agree that the year he did win it (2014-15) he was VERY dominant, but there were too many years during his career where Carey wasn't dominant. He was surfing on his reputation.
Again, I know that for me to say that he hasn't won a cup would automatically eliminate him... and that isn't fair. I am also aware that during his 15 years in Montreal, he only ever had one single player who managed to score more that 1 point per game. (Kovalev 2008) But at some point, I think we need to draw the line somewhere. If we start retiring the numbers of guys who haven't won the cup(Koivu, Markov, Pacioretty), sooner rather than later, there won't be any numbers left for the current guys to use!

Agree on both points.
On (1), the Habs are weird…they have this long history of finding goaltending when they need it. Sometimes that takes the form of a Steve Penney or Jaro Halak, a guy nobody sees coming who has a magical run. Sometimes it’s a Denis Herron or Jose Theodore who has 3-4 stellar years. And sometimes it takes the form of a generational goalie like Plante, Dryden, Roy, or Price. But we always seem to find le gardien somehow. That said, Price will be very hard to replace.
Let's not forget that Primeau progressed nicely in Laval last year. One more year(or maybe a half season) in Laval and he might be ready for the big show!

It seems that these new rumours are being fanned by PLD’s agent. For Winnipeg this is bad, PLD wants out and everyone has seen what he plays like when he wants out. It will lower his value, especially as I believe he only has 2 more RFA years, I could be wrong about this.
Youbare correct. 2 yrs left on rfa!

What d'yall think about the persistent rumours that P.L. Dubois is gonna be a Hab soon? I know that there have been Dubois to MTL rumours forever, and I normally don't pay attention to them, but for some reason, these latest rumours are making me think that this might happen. What I read was that the Habs offered Dvorak, 2023 1st round pick(the one we got from Florida) and another young prospect (ie. Norlinder) Apparently that wasn't enough for Winnipeg.

The scary thing is I worry BOTH Dach and Slafkovsky are Kotkaniemi like
That would be disastrous!!!

Right. Dach is now the young C with size. He is our answer to Shane Wright.
Looking at this stats, I find it unsettling that his development arc has a decided shade of "Kotkaniemi" about it.
Damn, you're scaring me!!!
-
Eesh! Not sure what to think of this trade. My first reaction is to be a little pissed. I liked Romy. I guess we'll have to be patient and see what Dach does over the next couple of years! Just looking at his stats, will not convince anyone that this is a good trade. but stats don't tell the whole story!

Welcome to MTL Shane Wright!!

Such a sad week! RIP Guy!

I don't know how serious this could be, seeing as I read it on Puckers.com. Apparently Hughes had a conversation with the Rangers for Lafrenière. In return the Rangers would get Chiarot and Lehkonen. Is it just me or has Lafrenière's stock dropped alot? I don't see how the Rangers could go for that!?!?!

Just a random observation that this is how life without Price feels to those who have always wanted to trade him. Because the 1 or 2 elite players or prospects we would have (perhaps) received in return aint stopping the puck.
I don't think Carey Price would've made much of a difference this year...maybe one or two losses less. Not enough to make a difference!

Romy / Kulak have been decent as well.
Norlinder skated well, smooth stride and comfortable with puck.
I like the Romy/Kulak pairing. I find that they were getting alot of crap this year. They've been playing well together for a while now!

Yeah, that was ugly last night in Boston, but with a young team, it is expected. I don't think anyone really thought the Habs would be making the playoffs this year. As long as there is some kind of progression (compared to last year) I think everything will be fine!
