dlbalr Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 That was a game that truly looked and felt like a preseason game. Yikes. The power play is in midseason form already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been quite good in Switzerland so it's not a total shock, but it's good to see that he's not scared of NHL players--it was his first pro game in North America!

JoeLassister Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 From the stands, this game was boring as #### for the most part. Among the youngsters I wanted to see the most, I liked Mesar and Beck. Difficult for Farrell and Florian. Pezzetta did his job very well though, trying to secure 12th-13th spot I guess. Not sure I agree with our writer about Mailloux deserving 3rd star. I preferred Struble's game to be honest. Montembeault was quite good, a couple real good saves from the slot.

Kinda felt like he needs to ride the AHL full time this season. He'll get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted September 26, 2024 Author Share Posted September 26, 2024 Leafs and Habs tonight (Thursday Sept 26 @ 7pm) is a nationally televised game so us poor saps without RDS can watch 🎉 Hoping to see Laine tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmethead Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 From the looks of it we will be going with a “B” squad tonight. most of our starters were skating earlier than normal practice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is curious to see Hutson with Barron because they are both offensive. It will be good to watch Engstrom too because I haven’t seen him play in a long time.

I-M-O, Hutson seems unlikely to get top pairing minutes in this situation ... don't think MSL et al are "throw the kid in the deep-end" types.

With this being the road game of the two, that's not too surprising. They'll save their better lineup for the home fans. Toronto and Montreal used to cooperate on their rosters in the preseason, alternating which city got two teams of 'A' rosters and which got the prospects/tryouts rather than both teams putting their better guys at home and not much on the road to make for a better game but I think that ended when Julien was let go.

tomh009 Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Interesting--they have Heineman anf Kapanen each with two NHL forwards now. Will be interesting to see how they do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted September 26, 2024 Author Share Posted September 26, 2024 Roy - Kapanen - Armia This is a plausible third line for Montreal this season and I hope they crush it. I want to see Kapanen make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
