Love to see Anderson get #20 and for Caufield to tie or lead rookie goal scoring.
but sheesh I’m being greedy now!
-
Harris was 3:20 from being done for the year … but to OT they go!!!
-
I was watching - really good game.
not much to complain about - maybe Anderson penalties and Petry looking more like a 4-5 dman than the 2-3 I expect him to be.
CC didn’t score but was very dangerous all the time. Suzuki is so consistent!!!
I liked Dvorak tonight.
Romanov continues to grow - feels like he has a coach that trusts him more (Tho he does keep rising on the depth chart with every trade!)
against a top team in the league, Habs really held their own. Didn’t feel like they were outplayed as much as the shot stats might imply.

I'd much rather have Lekky at 4.8M longterm than KK, even factoring in their age. Good thing KK is Carolina's sunk cost now.
8 years at 4.82 … I suppose if he is their 2nd line C for years 2-8 of that contract, that it’s a good deal.
I had thot they would have expected more from KK this year to warrant the contract, so either he is meeting their expectations or they are saving face

With Perreault on waivers - a roster move should be imminent!

He was a hall of famer. Canada Cup, multiple Stanley Cups. Part of the best top 3 ever.
I meant - in my opinion he was not hall of fame caliber.
I certainly realize he IS in the hall of fame.

I remember meeting Guy Lapointe when I was a kid at McDonalds. He was with his family and gave me his autograph. I still have it.
Loved him - he was great. But not a hall of famer and def not retire his number worthy.
-
If Lehkonen could regain his rookie season scoring touch, we’d really have something there with him!
-
Makes me wonder again why Toffoli was traded. Good production, good contract, good leadership.
was he the head of the coup and not Petry??
just seems to me that at the end of the reset, we’d want a player like Toffoli … and it’s not like the return in the trade was overwhelming.

Maybe he is a reason Sean Farrell seems to be exceeding draft day expectations.

I’m glad the victim had the courage to speak up. I’m glad she was heard. I’m glad he was caught. I’m glad he was convicted. I’m glad he has paid a price.
sadly, coming from being a jr high and high school teacher, he is just the one that is caught. He will change (or has changed) and will be better (smarter). But he is the tip of the iceberg. There is still a generation of boys growing up that consider this kind of treatment of women to be acceptable and will just be more careful about keeping it secret.
I don’t have a problem with anyone paying the price and then resuming life. My hope now is that Logan can be a positive influence on those around him - and not just a superficial influence where they are more careful, but a deep influence where future men think differently.
-
I’m hoping we didn’t lose Bouchard because we kept MB and DD.
i had high hopes for DD when he took over, and allowed for the excuses last regular season. Seems like the playoff run was the aberration where the vets took over. Telling is that Perry left.
Lose DD asap - give it to Interim Richardson and let’s prep to turn this s**tstorm around so it’s ready for next season.
-
Martin Brodeur is where I’d put my bet.
-
Wondering - are the reverse-retro jerseys in play this year?
-
I’m ok with this. I said in a previous post, the Habs weakness wasn’t just that it was unproven centers but the ages of all of them. Suzuki is untouchable, Evans is affordable. Paquette is serviceable on the 4th line. The issue was KK as second line C and no one to insulate anyone else.
we have a hole, but I’m not sure we didn’t have a hole even with KK - we had hope, but that’s it.
If we can get a 30ish 2nd line C for 6m or less, we are actually better off for next season than with KK.
-
No way - I don’t believe you use the picks to draft a center - trade for the 2C we need. Make it so. I’d rather lose a prospect than use the cap space poorly.

My 2 cents.
I love KK and I think he will be a 2C. But he isn’t now.
Good for him to get paid, even if it’s overpayment - that’s not his fault or problem.
but I’m a Habs fan first.
i say let him go.
Habs were already too inexperienced at C and to bring someone in meant someone needed to sit. Suzuki wasn’t going to move or be sat. Evans/Poehling/Paquette can handle 3rd/4th/depth C. (Admittedly hoping Evans is adequate this season as 3rd line C)
the issue going into the season was 2nd line C anyways. KK was the one that needed to go. Suzuki, Evans, Poehling are all either valued (Suzuki) or affordable (Evans, Poehling). We needed a vet 2nd line player to take pressure off of Suzuki.
So let KK walk and use the picks or prospects to go get a 2nd line C. The team may overlay a little in the trade, but it’s better than overpaying by 3 mil in the cap era for KK.
sorry Canes - you can enjoy the consequences of the cap mess you just made for yourselves
-
I feel there are 2 Drouins. If we get the good one, I actually could see him as our 2nd line C. When he was good for the Habs, he was skating, moving his feet, even in the defensive zone. (Bad Drouin is flat out useless, that is understood).
KK can hone in his checking skills on the 3rd line with Suzuki/Drouin 1 and 2.
I bet it’s an experiment we will see, especially with DD as HC - and I’m more optimistic than pessimistic in its success.
(bookmark this to either praise me or shame me later!!!)

Ya. Any trade for Eichel will include KK. The coach isn’t in love with Romanov so that makes sense. I’d be surprised if Drouin were in a deal and if he was, it’s for cap reasons so I’d think it would be more than just 1 1st. Maybe 2.
-
Every pic I see lately of MB shows him as being a mess. I’ve had longer hair, so I understand either you look great or a disaster - and there is more maintenance with longer hair.
but still - it really seems like his swag is gone - that maybe in some way last season and this offseason has been sucking the life out of him and that really, the playoff success was more of a last gasp of energy (ie that lucky red suit).
I don’t know if it is that the media is only sharing his disheveled look or if he really never has it all together any more! I’d have thought he would look better when announcing the draft picks.
regardless, to me, via the eye-test, he isn’t getting fired, but he is about to quit. And perhaps because I’m more aware given Drouin’s recent struggle, I do hope everything is ok personally for MB.
has anyone else been thinking the same regarding the departure of MB’s polished, suave look that has clearly gone beyond covid hair.
-
I know Evans is young, but I think he is going to take Danault’s spot THIS year.
Danault benefited from Pleks example, Evans has had Danault’s. Evans is smart smart smart. There will be growing pains, but we’ve said goodbye to a defensive specialist, added an up and coming in Evans and used the money saved on offense in the form of Hoffman. Losing some of an area of strength (forward defensive responsibility) in order to strengthen an area of weakness (forward scoring).

Philip Danault to LA. $5.5 x 6.
Good for him. And good for the Habs we aren’t paying him that coin.
he is excellent at what he does, but he needs more offense to be worthy of that contract.
im also glad he is in the west where Suzuki et al won’t need to deal with him unless it’s the finals!

Louie Belpedio to Habs. 1 year for 750k according to TSN (TW contract)

That’s a steal. Now let’s get some scoring pop.I wonder if MB saves the Weber money for a mid-season acquisition. Thinking we can be in the playoff discussion with this D (Savard replacing Weber) and then adding someone to get the Habs across the finish line into the playoffs where anything can happen.

And there was a Weber sighting!
nice of him to show up. I wonder how is arm is since it must have been twisted real bad for him to make it.
