    With 25 games in 26 nights (or whatever equally ridiculous number it is) DD needs to manage Perry's minutes ... ***IF*** needed the flip may happen in-game but not likely for the whole game 

    I agree, but the argument here would be it’s a temporary option (1-3 games) until Toffoli and company makes it back. Also after 10days off now since our last game, Perry is well rested and eager to get out. 

  2. So a bit excited of the two new additions of Stall and Cole. Nice to see the kid starting in Laval and hopefully with success there he might be ready for end of season and carryover into the playoffs. 
     

     

    toffoli - kk - Anderson 

    Drouin - Suzuki - Staal

    Tatar - Danault - Gallagher

    Armia - Evans - Perry

     

    and then before seasons end 

     

    Toffoli - kk - Anderson 

    Drouin - Suzuki - Cole 

    Tatar - Danault - Gallagher

    Armia  - Staal - Perry


    might be a very exciting ending here!

    I hear you. I grew up in Ontario but have lived the bulk of my life in Edmonton. It was awful when the Oilers beat the Habs in the playoffs, I was at one of those games and didn't enjoy it much. McDavid is playing at another level right now, hopefully he doesn't see much of the Habs 3rd defence pairing but it's definitely a team effort to stop him. When he gets the puck going full speed he's very tough to stop. There is nobody else like him. 


    just a quick story about this and my first ever game as a child watching the Habs live and was against Edmonton on a regular season game at the Colosseum. had tickets in the nose bleeds and excited to go watch the Habs of the 70s, I’m thinking This was 81 or 82, on the way to the game I found out that Wayne Gretzky was not playing that night and Mark Messier was going to be the captain of the Edmonton for the very first time. I was so excited that we were going to kick their ass without Gretzky in the lineup,  anyways long story short the final score was 11-2 for Oilers and messier had 4 goals maybe even 5 that night!! A nightmare for a child watching his Habs for the very first time live!!

    I just want to throw out something humorous that us Edmonton based Habs fans will understand a little more.

     

    There’s a common belief by the Edmonton sports media that McDavid and Draisatl play on 2 different lines.  The game lineups don’t reflect that above, but the media here in Edmonton believe it.  All of the Oilers fans here that I talk to believe it as well.  Yet you go back to 75% of each of their points, and the other guy is assisting or scoring on that point, but when you point that out, they look at you weird and spew that same line again.


    Agree! And most of those points together are on the power play. 

  5. Living in Edmonton my whole life and always being a Habs fan I always hate playing the Oilers and this goes back to the 80s when they would kick our butts (think leafs fans are annoying ). Mcdavid is possess right now and there’s no one who can stop him let alone against a weaker D as we are now with a key injury on the blue line. Most are hoping for 4/6 Points but I would take 3/6 and move on. 
     

    hoping I’m underestimating our boys this week! Go Habs!!

    But what is respectful ... nowhere near what was offered last fall ... at this point, I don't see more than $3.75M (25% raise) ... sucks for him that he didn't take the offer last fall, good for the Habs


    I agree except for your offer on $. There will be a boat load of teams willing  to pay a little bit more for a very good 3 line Center. 
     

    I’m thinking a respectful offer on both sides now is 4.5m at 6years. Would not hesitate or be concerned about signing him long term at 6 years. He just turned 28 and this would put him at 34 at end of contract or trading him with 1-2 years left of that contract. We have to give him term if were saving on cap hit.... He’s a great team/ locker player and experience defensively right now and that level of play will only excel to a higher level with more years under his belt, besides he’s a great role model for the younger centres on this team. 

  7. What Chairot did was unnecessary and dumb perhaps, there was no need for a fight at that point. But for all the Chairot haters this morning probably amused and content with this, I’m not. He will be missed in the top four and Mete replacing him is a huge downgrade to our top 6 Ds.. 

  8. Great game from the boys yesterday! We look good, fast and focus. Dom has the boys dial in big time now... 

     

    what I found most impressive was the 2nd unit power play with Petry, Kk and so on, keep these guys together and our power play stats will rise. 
     

    fun game last night 

  9. There’s a lot of excitement for KK and I understand he’s only 20. But I’m of  little few who thinks there’s no offensive upside here today or in the future, he’s had 2 frickin goals in a season that’s full of goals and one of the weaker divisions in the league. Very good two way 3rd line Center perhaps. I truly hope I’m wrong for the Habs and wish the kid better days.
