Only 3 out of 4 possible points...i'm disappointed but I guess some people expect too much 😕

Carolina really put up a fight against Boston. Hahaha.
Bruins are a juggernaut now because they peaked at the perfect time. Their cup to lose and I don't see anyone stopping them.

Waive Deslauriers it is!
Surely they can waive Hudon.

Petry for Norris?

I was impressed with Benn's game, especially his skating.

Hudon's last game was November 27th, over 3 weeks ago now. He's been healthy the entire time... just scratched, there is no known injury in there.
Now... that may be deserved or it may be underserved, that's a whole different debate. But i think when a guy has been a healthy scratch for 3 weeks straight, its pretty clear that he is in the coach's doghouse right now.
or, everyone one in the line up is better than hudon.

He couldn't stay at center with the Montreal "we need anybody with a pulse to play center" Canadiens for 6 years...and now he can't get a spot there with the Arizona "just happy to be in the league" Coyotes.
Your point is that Stepan and Schmaltz are better at center, therefore it is okay he is on the wing, how is that even a good thing for Galchenyuk and whatever your argument is? Stepan and Schultz.....
In other news, Max Domi continues to rip it up for the Habs who are off to a surprising start with their #1 center leading the way
Seriously, I started this thread and even I have lost interest in the 'Galchenyuk centre' controversy. This guy is on a different team now and I don't have the will to occupy my mind with old news. Wish him the best of luck.

I'm also wondering what happens to the top 9 when Armia gets back.
-
So who goes when Armia is back?
If there isn't a trade, probably Hudon gets waived and more than likely claimed or do they do something else....
-
We've all heard the rumours or have experience with the hazing but I haven't heard such a detailed description of it. Sickening...

While I never considered Weber slow in the slightest. He is just a big man that can gain speed and momentum from his big strides, he never really needs to use his speed because he’s always in position, a sign of a very smart defensemen.
But that burst of speed he had that brought him from behind Montreal’s net off to a breakaway for his second goal really showcased that. It looks like his time off has done a lot for his recovery, which is a good sign for the ones critical that he could be washed up and damaged goods.
Well he beat that guy on horseback after all

Weber moves into a tie with Subban with 2 goals on the season. I only wish that Weber wasn't washed up or else he would be more effective
Yeah 2 games in and he ties Subban's season total for goals, lol.

I'm not liking that 4th line. We have gotten away from the speed game that we played early in the season. With Byron back in the fold now, I think we should get back to that relentless high forecheck and speed game. I think Peca should draw back in for Chaput and Hudon for Deslauriers personally
I also wouldnt mind seeing Kotkaniemi getting a few games between Tatar and Gallagher to see if he can take his game to another level. Danault can centre a really good shut down 3rd line...
Drouin Domi Shaw
Tatar Kotkaniemi Gallagher
Byron Danault Lehkonan
Agostino Peca Hudon
With last change both games this weekend... we can control the matchups as much as possible (especially vs SJ) so it could be an ideal time to give it a look back to back.
That 3rd line could be one of the most tenacious checking lines in the NHL and could surprise with some secondary scoring off turnovers as well
I would to see Kotkaniemi tried on the second line as well. He has more offensive upside than Danault. If it doesn't work, put him back.

Never understood the hype over him. Makes you wonder why fans take to certain players with no apparent reason.

Reilly is 25. He's moving out of "impressionable young player learning the game" and into "mature pro hockey player" territory. I don't say that what you see is what you get - he may still have room to grow - but he's definitely running out of that room. I remember when we acquired him, it was either Commandant or dlbalr who observed that he had been very inconsistent in Minny: good for stretches, bad for stretches. He's proving to follow that same pattern with us. I'd say the odds are quite good that that's just what he is.

So what's the good news...will some charitable GM take good ol' Karl off our hands?

Shaw speed was very good in that game. After Boston game pretty much everyone was ok to leave him as 13th player. Now 13 92 and 64 looks goood.
If he can keep it up it rises his trade value. And he wins face off. Thumbs up
I get why you would want to maximize your assets and get the most for older players in trades, not hat he's old, but why does everyone want to get rid of a player when he starts excelling in Montreal?
So far we should trade Petry, Shaw, Byron, Tatar, etc. Seems like a good group of players to just dump away for picks and prospects at this stage. Wouldn't a more pragmatic approach be to hope that the team plays well, can make a run in the playoffs and that Shaw is big contributor in the teams success along with the other players that are over 22?

I am hoping, abouve all else tonight, to see Niemi make the save at key points in the game, somethign Price had not been doing. That should get us the win, as this team is scoring pretty well lately. The icing on the cake would be Niemi denying Patioready so much as a single point and extending his slump, while Tatar hits the scoresheet for us...but that's a very secondary item on my wish list for tonight.
Prophetic

The Finns are leading this team tonight.

Lol @ the Jesus Price image. Therrien is like 'Oh help me mighty Jesus..only you can save me', Bergevin looks completely f'ed up and regretful and Subban is thinking "i'm so good and holy, surely no one will trade me" and Saint Gallagher has mastered the christian philosophy of turning the other cheek.

Chucky 1 g and 3 assists in 4 games.
Showed more grit and determination on that one goal than his whole time in MTL.

I agree that he's probably not going to the world juniors. That said, I do think it might be good for him.
I hope management is sensitive to his level of comfort playing in the NHL. True, he is not hurting the team but at this point I don't know how much he is helping either. From watching him play I sometimes catch some frustration on his part. He is used to having a larger impact on the game and one hopes that the new reality of this higher level of competition doesn't sap him of his confidence. If we had to use Peca as our 3rd C and Plek as the 4rth we would be ok for now but if they really feel he is best staying up then so be it. I just don't want him to be rushed unnecessarily.

I don’t hear another voice saying it but on the other end of the spectrum, I personally have high opinion of Scherbak’s future. It’s not only that De La Rose is a boring player, but Scherbak will be quite the player. Time will tell.
I just don't see why some people have such hope for this guy. He's never shown anything on the NHL level and his window is rapidly closing.
The Plekanec injury is suspicious. Do you really think he is hurt or it's a way to not lose a player through waiver. Workman's comp scam
