The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I think he’s a lover more than a fighter, but the way he’s been playing for the last month or so, it’s hard to believe he’s only 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I again humbly suggest that Ylonen take Anderson’s place on the third line and ice time. Really fun game to watch although I was frustrated with Buffalo’s dirty play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has better hands and vision than I thought he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm stoked that Primeau has returned to his previous what have you done with Primeau state. After he got lit up in his game I was sorta worried that he might go back to being himself. It is surprising that he outplayed Levi tonight. At 1 point last year I wanted the Habs to get Levi, but he's increased his value significantly since then that I doubt the Sabers would get rid of him now.

He gets paid way too much and has numerous years left on his contract. The Habs aren't in a position where they can burry Anderson like that, what they need is for him to start producing - which is unlikely if he's on the 4th line.

Commandant Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Two things 1 a move of anderson to the 4th line wouldnt have to be forever anyways. 2 this is all a moot point anyways as i think Pearson hurt his hand and thats gonna open a third line spot anyway. Ylonen to 3rd and Pezzetta back in on the 4th tomorrow seems likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Caufield is so snakebitten lately, maybe the shootout goal will help him get out of the funk. Barron made a pretty egregious giveaway on the second goal, hopefully he's still working those out of his system and they're more of a bug than a feature.

I’m not a fan I assumed Pezzetta cause he is with the team. Also it seemed the Sabres took some liberties tonight so maybe they will want him back in the lineup. That said if they do a callup, i doubt they do a Roy, Kidney, or Farrell as they seem to want to give them AHL time. Meanwhile vets like Gignac and Bourque are on AHL only contracts, and Im not sure the Habs would want to use up one of the 50 contract slots to turn that into a two-way deal and call them up. So maybe Simoneau cause he has a full AHL year under his belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan I'm not 100% sure but I believe Condotta could be an upgrade on Pezzetta in every way. He's bigger, tougher, better fighter, and seems to have more skill. 5 minutes ago, Commandant said: So maybe Simoneau cause he has a full AHL year under his belt. I like the sound of that idea but without WiFi and Dach's size I think he would make the team too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Simoneau doesn't play small at all. He also has been much better than Condotta this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to bury Anderson on the 4th line for his contract. I want Anderson to face less pressure and easier assignments. Play Anderson with Pezzetta and let them smash and bang with speed and power. Anderson put together 2 or 3 games last week where he played hard but other than that he isn’t playing like himself. Anderson doesn’t drive the net with speed, he isn’t dominant on the boards, he isn’t mean like he used to be and he isn’t producing. Put him on the 4th without expectations and let him get his crap together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Should Power's shootout goal have counted. He skates back toward his own goal slightly just before shooting. The rule book says: The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line Maybe a move like his is typically allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan Laval just played back-to-back so anyone you'd put in would be playing their third game in three nights. When you add that to the equation, putting Pezzetta in is probably the better move for tonight at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found that rule perplexing. If I sweep the puck back as part of a lateral deke, technically it is not being “kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line” 🤷♂️ I guess it’s, as you say, a matter of latitude in interpretation… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I think its clear that pulling the puck back and forth a short distance while deking is allowed. But on this play Power skated in and then drifted back before coming in on Primeau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that no team will trade for a 4th liner making 5.5 mil/yr with yrs left on their contract. I don't believe that dropping Anderson to the 4th line will help him get out of his current funk. Plus, as you said he has been playing better lately so hopefully that continues to trend upwards vs regress. It sucks this year for Ylonen because he is deserving of playing higher than the 4th line. For next year the Habs need to get rid of Dvorak, Armia, and possibly Anderson to make room for Beck and Roy. Ylonen would likely be a good fit with those 2 and they'd make a formidable 3rd line.
