No idea about lines yet or who is starting in net. 
 

I do expect a much better game from the Habs after that Thursday stinker against the worst team in the league. 
 

Roy being called up is exciting. I’m hoping that he takes Anderson’s spot. 
 

Go Habs Go

May explain Roy's call-up.

In practice this morning:

 

Roy - Monahan - Armia 

 

Good that he gets Monahan and not Evans.

Since November... Evans has been just as good as Monahan at 5v5.

 

Monahan has been better on the PP and thats where most his points have come from but his ES play has really fallen off.

“Since November” is one thing, but I have the distinct impression that Evans has been struggling in recent games (which wouldn’t be surprising, since he is not a second-liner). Basically since Dvorak went down. But I don’t know whether the stats back that up.

Production maybe ... skill levels are nowhere near close ... I feel a young skilled player needs a skilled player with whom to play ... Jake Evans is a hard-working plugger, not who Roy needs to play with I-M-O.

He's not a second liner.

 

But we don't have a healthy second line centre, so it is what it is.

Looks like


Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf
RHP-Evans-Gallagher 
Roy-Monahan-Armia
Pezzetta-Stephens-Ylonen


Guhle-Matheson
Struble-Savard
Harris-Kovacevic 
Montembeault (to be confirmed)

If you didn't get the above from the Habs website, could you please give me tonight's 6/49 numbers?
😉

I see Monahan struggling to keep up with the play at 5v5 right now though, at least Evans does that. 

 

Neither is the ideal 2nd line player though.

On that we can absolutely agree.

Those were the morning practice lines which typically are the game lines. 

So .... no 6/49 numbers?

St-Louis does like to shuffle things up after practice, though!

Evans I feel has done an admiral job at first shifting to the wing, and then with the added minutes of playing up the lineup with 2nd line duty. All this considering our 2nd line has been decimated from the start.

 

I can see the R-M-A line doing a good job with respect to possession and the cycle tonight. Creating turnovers in O zone and neutral zone with active sticks and anticipation should be good.

 

Very excited to see a forward prospect's growth and development thus far as a pro in Joshua Roy.

 

Kovacevic is a welcome return to the line up as well.  I thought he was our best option on the right side (ahead of Savard & Barron). JB was deserving of the press box I feel. A team with lethal finishing like Edmonton, will cost us on turnovers. Kova puck management is superior to Barron I believe.

 

Struble getting somewhat promoted to the top 4 should be interesting As well. His minutes have been almost in line with Guhle already however.  Can Matheson or Guhle play the other side effectively against legit stars in Edm?

 

So many questions

Should be swapping Ylonen and Armia. Or better yet, send Armia down and bring up Andersson

We typically bounce back strong after a crap game so I’m expecting a Hab win 

This year's team hasn't really had long winning--or losing--streaks. I'm expecting them to play a decent game, whether that is enough for a win remains to be seen.
