The D pairings look pretty solid and I’m thankful that Wideman sits It turns out that Wideman has been playing hurt, and that doesn't help his play, and has been limiting his minutes. A snippet from The Athletic: Quote Wideman has been playing through an injury more or less all season. It would appear a certain movement during the Canadiens skill competition Feb. 19 ultimately knocked him out, but he was already playing hurt. “I’m just trying to do what I can to manage through it and play through the best I can,” Wideman said. “It’s a wear and tear thing for which there is nothing I can do.” The well-liked defenceman will try to make it to the end of the season, but only rest will help at this point. Surgery isn’t even an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Typical. Meaningless games, trade deadlines passed and Drouin starts producing when we least need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Matheson has been playing outstanding hockey for a while and tonight is no exception. If they do end up trading him it better be for one heck of a return. Outstanding hockey by Montembault too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Sweet pass by Barron and great shot by Richard. I'm surprised that Richard hasn't scored more, he certainly rips pucks at the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprising for sure, especially when they played yesterday. 23 minutes ago, tomh009 said: Don't these Penguins want to make the playoffs? Sigh. Since the Pens loss to the Oilers, they've gone 7-1-1. They were tied for #1 over that 10 game span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Guarianov looked dangerous numerous times. I definitely liked his goal. In 9 games he has 4 goals, which is interesting. If it looks like he can get over 30/yr it will be hard to know what to do regarding his next contract. What was he doing at the end of the game? The puck was fairly deep in the Pens end against the boards with 3 Pens against 1 Hab. That looked super funny, especially when I realized it was him.

I’m hoping Guarinov will be a keeper, but let’s not get carried away extrapolating a small sample size of games for a 25 yr old, into a 30 goal scorer. Particularly when we are playing meaningless games against teams that have zero expectations for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin is also continuing to play well and be quite creative, perhaps gels with the speed/straight line approach of Gurianov? Not sure I see him as long term but an affordable one year deal and flip at next deadline sounds perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I see him as long term but an affordable one year deal and flip at next deadline sounds perfect. Drouin is not coming back to the Habs, there is no way in hell that he is re-signed by the Habs. This summarizes it well: "The latest games from Jonathan Drouin don't erase his previous 5 years" https://bpmsports.ca/le-debat-14/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I forgot the game was on, watched the highlights today. Poor Montembeault, lit up for 4 and maybe an argument could be made the first goal was his fault. The other 3 were just poor defensive play. Allowing Malkin to have the one-timer on the PP is bad, but Anderson was on the ice and doing nothing on the 3rd goal, wasn't taking away the pass, wasn't taking Malkin, was just in the middle of the ice for no reason. Montembeault will never be a star goalie, but if his progression continues, he could make a decent starter, or a solid backup. His numbers just don't reflect his play this season.
