It seems like the Wings are already regretting that trade and they have him another year. Injury kept him out for two or three of those, I believe but he has been scratched. They have a bit of a rotation going for those last two spots. 28 minutes ago, Sir_Boagalott said: How many people still think Arber isn't ready and shouldn't be in the NHL? I think he should be in Laval. I don't see him having much room for growth in his current role but going to Laval and playing 23, 24 minutes a night in all situations (he's basically down to ES-only with the Habs) I think would be much more beneficial. If they want to see if he can handle a top-four role, giving him a chance to do that in Laval for a bit first makes a lot of sense development-wise. I'm sure that's not the popular answer but I think long-term, that would be the better move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, that is another part of the suggestion to bring Mailloux up. i.e. someone would be sent down. I'd like to know what is the requirement to qualify to play in the Calder Cup? Is there a certain amount of AHL games played someone needs? I'm thinking for Reinbacher, and some of the Habs sophomore dmen; if they are yo-yoed up and down a few times could they qualify to play in the playoffs with the Rocket?

On the roster before the trade deadline (hence the paper transactions we see sometimes at 2:59 on deadline day) or assigned from a non-NHL organization post-deadline (Reinbacher would be eligible if he doesn't go to Montreal first). ATO's and PTO's also are eligible. Games played don't matter for eligibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's not the popular answer but I think long-term, that would be the better move. I actually fully agree with that but with the exception of him permanently being in the AHL. The Habs have quite a few guys that are waiver exempt and they be micromanaging and exploit the crap out of that. ex: bring up Mailloux for 1 month, send each sophomore dman down for 1 week and when they're down play them 25+ mins and in situations they need to work on. Obviously, if Mailloux is a complete utter failure real quick then don't go through with a full month. Plus, it could 1 week/mth bring up Mailloux.

I had no idea but was thinking Reinbacher might have to play his 1st few games with the Rocket to be eligible for their playoffs. Either way, thats another thing I want to see is to micro manage them so that numerous of the youngsters can be in the playoffs even if its AHL. That'd be better than nothing. ex: Slaf, maybe WiFi, who else could benefit from a deep AHL playoff run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone see Gally nailed Seider real good in an open ice hit by the Habs blueline and sent him flying into the boards at the Habs bench moments before that play ended? That's why Seider slashed and x-checked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 That was awesome. What a fitting ending to that game for Cole to draw such a dumb penalty and then get the winner. However, they are lucky they won. I definitely wasn't liking what I was seeing from the Habs in the majority of that OT. ex: Why did Nick shoot from 30 feet away? He did beat Reimer but not the post but still on a 4 on 3 they shouldn't be shooting from 30 feet away. They should be able to get much closer and be shooting from 15 feet out. Plus, their 3 on 3 d coverage was garbage. i.e. why in the hell were they essentially doing picks on themselves? ex: when Debrincat would cross over and change sides the Habs player covering him would skate into their linemate who was covering the other Wings player. That was crazy that happened once let alone numerous times. It was a miracle the Wings didn't score in that sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Primeau kept them in the game. I like his skating/leg work. Square to the puck and nice butterfly when needed. great shot by Caufield. Barron played well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I gotta say, Montreal's defense is a work in progress, but they did look fairly well tonight. Primeau didn't have to bail them out often from the 2 1/2 periods I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I missed it the Slaf was benched in the third, did anyone notice this? Cole Caufield did it again! The #GoHabsGo sniper scored in overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens the win. It was a busy night! - Primeau earned key win.- Slafkovsky benched in the third. - Anderson still snakebitten.#Habs recap via @franqkbernard⬇️https://t.co/29Hyhx4S0Q — Marc Dumont (@MarcPDumont) November 10, 2023 Quote "Regardless, benching your first overall pick (who was having a decent game) doesn’t sound like a great idea – period."

TurdBurglar Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Benching a player sets up accountability. He's a first overall pick, not Wayne Gretzky. There's been talk of shipping him to the AHL all season. First step is benching, see how he responds, next is a healthy scratch, see how he responds, then send him down. It's all stages of development. It's showing St. Louis is holding players accountable for their play, which is nothing but a good thing.

Slafkovski's last shift was at 55:18, so a 19 yr old in a tie game vs division rival dosent play in last 4+ minutes, isnt a big deal, is it?

Monahan 7 game point streak, value rising (stay healthy for 4 more months please) & 2PP goals 13th best PP now. Captain is doing well and hitting a few posts lately also and love to see him get shooting (4 shots). and nice to see Matheson give his head a shake or something and have a solid game. Nice that St Louis isnt scared to shake things up... for 1 game at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I guess it was click-bait from Dumont. I really liked how well Slaf played this game, he has had a few good games and seems to be progressing in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
