PMAC Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 +. I would guess that if he plays he will play 15 min Quote
xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 I did not realize we were 14-1-2 at home to be honest. I'd say McCarron will play more than 8 minutes but I'm not sure it will be as high as 15 on the 4th line. 12 mins would be my guess, give or take 1. Quote
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Im surprised they will play him on the right instead of C. Or is this MT "easing" him into the "process" he's played C pretty much since moving from London to Oshawa. also, note some exciting changes to the practices... petry to the right of weber on the first unit with radulov on the right wall and shaw on the left wall patches in front of the net and beau to the right of markov on the 2nd wave Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 McCarron looked so lost the last time he played RW with the Habs(you would think going back to RW would be easier on him). Hopefully that's not the case this time. Quote

DON Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they added the Big Galoot to 2nd unit. Quote

Hopefully that's not the case this time. Who didn't look lost last year on the ice? He was called up to play in a huge mess, a team without any structure left at that point. I thought he looked decent at first, but then he was being shuffled between the wing and center positions, starting paying different roles with different teammates from one game to another. If you want to make sure a rookie looks bad, that is the perfect recipe. We'll see how he does starting tonight, and progressively we'll see what role he can fill this year (if he can fill any role). I could see him finding a role as a solid bottom 6 forward, and possibly later see some time on the powerplay to do what Gallagher/Shaw do (with the added strength and size). And since neither Gallagher or Shaw produce much on the PP despite quality ice-time (they've never been good on the PP in the past either) who knows McCarron could prove to be a good solution, and bring something we lack on our PP.

Guest Stogey24 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 As DON has said too, stick him in front of the net. Quote
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Actually they practiced with shaw coming off the left wall and radulov coming off the right wall patciotetty circling the net Quote
Commandant Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Yes, I too believe that a guy who can't score much in the AHL is suddenly going to take a role in the NHL and put up points and be effective on the powerplay. The idea of what people think McCarron is, and the reality of what he actually is, are not lining up here. Quote
Habsfan Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 I'd really like to see our boys destroy these California teams. They always beat up on us when we're in Cali, I'd like to see them get a taste of their own medicine when they come to the Bell Centre! Quote

And last game 0 for 5 was simply a killer in loss to Bruins. But, will wait and see if Muller having Lehkonen playing centre does anything positive first. Quote
dlbalr Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 McCarron will play. So will Andrighetto while Shaw (concussion-like symptoms) is out both tonight and tomorrow. Quote
sbhatt Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Hoping to see a much improved PP tonight. Quote
Habsfan84 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Posted December 17, 2016 With Shaw out Carr takes his spot on the second line with Danault and Lehkonen. Andrighetto takes Carr's spot on the fourth line. Go Habs Go. Should be a good game with two of the leagues top teams. Quote
Guest Stogey24 Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Price has been average the last little while . Not focused Quote
sbhatt Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 This parade to the penalty box is horsesh!t Quote

All the penalties were in the offensive zone. Not where they should be taking them. Quote
Trizzak Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Habs forget how to play hockey in 3 days? Quote
sbhatt Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 I think Therrien's intermission speech should start with "You overpaid lazy pieces of ****...and then build from there. Quote
dlbalr Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah, this streak may be in jeopardy here. Boy, did they look bad that period. Tim Peel certainly made his presence felt though. Quote
