Remember when I said Caufield would start scoring again after his shoulder was fully healed. 

 

;)

He has been unbelievable.

Suzuki is quietly putting up points…

 

I don’t know what to think of the Newhook line. Dach and Slafkovsky seem to get stuff done. Newhook buzzing around everywhere but he kind of spins his tires. 
 

Dvorak line is useless 

 

Nick Suzuki is a tremendous hockey player and we are lucky to have him in the CH. 

 

I know what you mean about Newhook. I have a feeling he’s always going to be one of those guys who is somehow less than the sum of his parts, in terms of skills.

Dvorak was involved in gaining control of the puck in the zone and passing to Hutson on the Gallagher goal. Which is probably the biggest thing he's done all year.

Newhook reminds me of Russ Courtnall

 

Speed for days but just doesn't get enough out of it. 

Very good comparison. Or oleg Petrov

that is a great way to put it. Like, he makes some plays or has a surge of energy but never puts it all together.

I still like him better than Dvorak as one of the Habs’ centres. 
I think he could be the type of player that will produce if paired with more talented wingers

That is indeed an excellent parallel. In fairness to Courtnall, he did put together three or four really productive seasons.

I’d rate Petrov as a notch below Courtnall. Hopefully Newhook follows the Courtnall track, at least.

Primeau has been hung out to dry in this one.  Don't think its his fault. 

 

Are you kidding? He’s been excellent. Not his fault his defenders are a pack of Inspector Clouseaus

xGA is 4.01 to 1.28 (naturalstattrick) or 4.08 to 1.12 (moneypuck) so maybe Primeau should have made one more save, but the game would have been lost anyway.

I said Don't Think its his fault. 

 

I am blaming the defence too.

Yeah, I got that. Sorry, the locution “are you kidding” was meant more in the way of emphasizing your point than contradicting it
