Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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.

Monahan has been better on the PP and thats where most his points have come from but his ES play has really fallen off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically since Dvorak went down. But I don’t know whether the stats back that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, send Armia down and bring up Andersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Oiler's have won 9 in a row but struggled to beat a Chicago team without Bedard. They are due for a loss. Habs rebound after a bad effort against San Jose. Everything points to a Habs win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
