(which is to say he's not good enough as 2nd liner, but fine as a third). Yeah, only this team would pencil that guy in as a top-6 C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Two goals...in one period...offensive outburst! If Carey can wake up and make some big saves, this is a very winnable game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 40 points is not nothing. Remember its 10 points more than Lars Eller's career high, and how many times were we told that he is a top 6 centre by various media, posters, people on twitter, etc.... so maybe Danault can be a 2nd liner in his prime. 50 points would be an adequate #2 C. That said, he's not there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still kind of in awe of that Matthews goal. That was deadly. His positioning was way off on the second goal, not square to the shot and he over-pushed. It was still a nice shot but Price gave him a ton of open space to shoot at. Nice to see Galchenyuk actually shoot the puck instead of looking for the pass. He's a good playmaker but he's also a good shooter and the Habs need goal scoring threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not blaming him for missing it, but I also wouldn't have been shocked if he came up with it. That's just what he does. But I agree, not blaming him for not getting it. He's so good, and makes it look so easy that any goal that goes in, you think he could get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has obligated himself to make most of the hard saves by commanding the record-breaking salary for a goaltender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so good, and makes it look so easy that any goal that goes in, you think he could get it I always defer to people with a better grasp on goaltending fundamentals than me. Still, the first shot was a funky bounce and the second one was an absolute bullet to the very top of the far corner. I'm more sympathetic to the idea that if he'd been better set it would have dinged off his shoulder - but I give Matthews full credit for that laser beam.

Toronthab Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's also a much heavier responsibility if the team in front of you is losing at both ends. One man teams are undermanned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Niiiiiice You have to hand it to Drouin. Unlike so many other talented Quebecois players, he actually WANTS to play in Montreal and is willing to play C to boot. Good kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I would like to point out that the only goal this powerplay has scored was off a broken play and wasn't actually set up by the coaches or players. It's really ####ing pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
