BCHabnut Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Seattle are masters at subtle picks. It's crazy how many I've seen tonight. Most not penalties, but smart picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid second and third period, though. Finished the game with below expected goals against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 That game was a whole lot of nuthin! One team came ready to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Looking for the bright spots, the Dadonov-Evans-Armia line had another strong game, at least relatively speaking. It seems that this combination works better than anything St-Louis has tried before with these three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so bummed on that 1 shooting chance Slaf had. I swear every time I have seen Slaf in the slot with a good shooting chance my feed freezes and when it resumes he scores. However, on that 1 play when my feed froze I was anticipating Slaf scoring but this time when it resumed he passed over to Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMAC Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 8 hours ago, Habsfan89 said: Can't wait for the trade deadline Drouin Dvorak Dadonov Monahan Should all be traded Dvorak Edmundson Anderson Armia Hoffman Could get traded but no rush on them this year to do it. Next year more likely for them. At this point, if HUGORT manage to offload Drouin and Dadonov for a pair of 7th round draft picks and get anything for Armia without retaining salary/ sending an asset with him, they are indeed the second coming of Sam Pollock. It is almost conceivable that they get a 3rd for Hoffman if he can stay relatively productive and injury free, but for any return of significance its going to be Monahan, Edmunston or Anderson leaving. It would be nice if we could trade Dvorak and keep Monahan on a reasonable deal.... I dare to dream... Long live the SCoSP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of pulling the goalie with a few minutes to play again, last night, no in-game adjustments after the game, on RDS, they were mentioning that average shifts for some players is 1.26 (?) minutes and that that is poor time management: players run out of gas and no one seems to get his ice time shortened regardless of play --- so yes, I would have pulled him after the first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the bloom is coming off the MSL rose among the francophone commentariat. 7 minutes ago, tomh009 said: Dadonov, Evans and Armia had four high-danger scoring chances for, and none against so that confirms solid play by that line. Signs of life by Slaf are important. If he can grind his way out of his torpor and start actually doing something useful out there, it would offer a bit of reassurance that the Habs’ approach of throwing him in the deep end is actually working (or at least not actively harming his development).

alfredoh2009 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 RDS has been consistent all season, including the daily shows commenting on the Habs. TVA commentators are more cheerleaders than critics, specially the ex-players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
