Neech Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hoping for another respectable regulation loss in this one, albeit with a bit more scoring (and an Arizona win). Can't see the Habs managing 40 shots a second night in a row. Maybe Harris draws back in, and Suzy hits 20 goals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I am hoping for the same thing although the chances of Arizona winning in Calgary are pretty darn slim. I hope Seattle beats Jersey in OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hope Harris is back in lineup. (would anyone miss Wideman?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom L's player stats in the Athletic actually rank his market value as second-highest of all the Habs' regular D-men. I do think their model overvalues offence, though, and undervalues defensive attributes. But that 25 point total is almost twice that of Savard (the next best now that Chiarot was traded) which brings up his value in Dom's model.

DON Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 T Pitlick is playing, should not help offense much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how few times am we’re interested in signing him, or trading for him, Id say it’s a pretty flawed evaluation/rating system - and that’s before you even consider the eye test of simply watching Wideman play.

Widemans play was pretty much, as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 7:05 for Anderson and he seems to be skating well in this one. Schueneman continues to make some smart plays and has good shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could fit on a good team with a deep D corps where he can be shielded a bit. The challenge for the Habs is that they have to shield him but don't have the defensive talent around him to maximize it. Less minutes for Wideman equals more minutes for someone that shouldn't be getting more minutes. With likely a weaker back end next season, can Wideman still fit on it?

alfredoh2009 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I am trying to watch how the wings play without the puck Caufield seems to be cheating more than Hoffman, which is probably my mistake in how I am looking at it Why is Gallagher skating so much to cover for others?

Weaker ... particularly less experienced (Petry has not been stellar this year, either, so the downgrade is really from Chiarot). My expectation is that they'll sign him -- but that they'll trade him with the right offer. But at this point I think he has actual non-zero trade value, if signed to a reasonable contract.

alfredoh2009 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Barron could play top 4 on a weak team I want the Habs to sign an UFA RD to let Barron play in the AHL to start the season, but I seem to be on the minority wanting that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I want two of Harris, Guhle, Barron, Schuneman in Montreal and two in Laval. Which ones go where can be decided in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
