tomh009 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It'll be interesting to see how the new lines -- and especially the second one -- work out when the steel hits the ice. Go Habs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanfan Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Not a fan of our second line. It really puts Domi in the hot seat, so to speak. Obviously the hope is that the line has an unbelievable season. Truth is though that there is a very good chance that Domi winds up seeing his numbers go way down on that line, as he is left out to dry. Sure hope I am wrong. Believe it or not, I would have been more comfortable with Drouin or even Byron on left wing instead of Lekhonen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a kick to see a new season of les canadiens. We've all lived through them Cuc. Our allegiance can never be doubted. As for your ridiculous number of posts, thank you. You're definitely a hall of famer in that regard. Always poised, composed and thorough. Little side note: I'm a born and raised Montrealer who currently lives and is raising his family in Connecticut. My wife is originally from here. She (like I) were children of greek immigrants who for better or worse were involved in the restaurant industry. When I decided to buy out my inlaws and renovate their legacy store I had to clear out the furnace/storage room. While doing so I came across my personal holy grail. One game used Patrick Roy Sherwood goalie stick from the mid eighties with a broken shaft and an autographed Roy Koho stick from his days in Colorado. I personally lost my sh!t when I discovered them. My father in law couldn't even remember how he got them. He recalls having a customer of his that worked at the Hartford Civic Center who might have brought them to him. But of all the players that funneled through the NHL in the years the Whalers were in the league what are the odds that it would be my hero's? I grew up the biggest Roy fan. Met him at a softball tournament in Joilette in 1987. It was a larger than life experience for an 11yr old me. Safe to say they are both mounted on my office wall. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Lehkonen is there for his defence, and his ability to grind in corners and get to front of the net. He has shaws role. Anyways tough two road games to.start the year and then buffalo. I think carolina might win the metro this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did picked them in my fantasy pool as my #2 team (we have to pick 2). But I'm a bit concerned with Justin Williams' departure. I thought he made a pretty impressive job of bringing this team together last season as his only one as Captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim.on Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Aww man! Excited for the start of the season but still keeping my expectations in check. Really looking forward to see how Kotkeniemi develops, if Domi can repeat last years production and to see how Suzuki does in the NHL.

habs#4,9,10,33 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Once our boy plays himself out of the doghouse on the 3rd 2nd line Drouin - Domi - Suzuki which is a very good top 6 NHL line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be an exciting team to watch, especially with so many young players on the roster. Can't wait to see how Suzuki does in a real game, how much KK has developed since last year, if Domi can continue his pace, Drouin either dangling around everyone or making smarter plays, Gallagher tiring me out just by watching him, TATAAAAARRR, big Shea Weber clappers, Mete's gotta score his first goal sometime, Chiarot cross checks and of course Price highlight reel saves. Lots of story lines to follow this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Fun fact: Our 3rd line to open the season is identical to the 3rd line to open last season... Drouin KK Armia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Julien liking this as a line. When the best defensive player on the line is a rookie, he's not gonna put it together. If Drouin plays well with Kotkaniemi, there is no issue with having three dangerous 5v5 lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 So what happened on that first goal (of the season)? Did someone see that? It looks like Wallmark tapped in his own rebound, but was he all alone in front of the net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
