The Montreal Canadiens began their 2025-2026 season by visiting the Maple Leafs in Toronto for what has become somewhat of a tradition for the first g
[See the full post at: Bad Breaks Lead To Loss For Canadiens]tks Hugo!
I totally agree, only teams which don’t have a true 2 line will say they have 3 3rd lines.
what I like most about this new Habs team is the speed. replace Savard by Dobson, Armia and Dvorak by Demidov and Kapanen… it shows!
GO HABS GO!great blog as usual, Hugo! 👍
I wasn’t so sure about the idea of basically having three third lines out there, which is a direct result of not having a bona fide 2nd line centre to round out the top six, and after watching that game… I’m still not entirely convinced.
while I don’t necessarily disagree with you, what different approach would you have? I guess they’ll manage to figure out which guys have the best potential chemistry playing with Demidov as the season goes, and that line will de facto become the official 2nd line…

you’re right Pat, there’s not much they can do. the coach said ‘it’s clear who is our top line’. well… it’s also clear they don’t have 2nd line lol
until they do, the coach will have to be creative. and the fans patient.you’re right Pat, there’s not much they can do. the coach said ‘it’s clear who is our top line’. well… it’s also clear they don’t have 2nd line lol
until they do, the coach will have to be creative. and the fans patient.the pens had a good first game but it was against a messed up rags team, if they can start losing regularly then maybe Sid will consider how he’ll look like in a habs jersey… 😉
I’m sure Hughes will get a center. maybe not Crosby, but he’ll get one.
oh for sure, it’s just a matter of timing and finding the right dance partner.
after a few weeks in the season, teams will have a better idea of what direction they’re heading, and moves might start being made at that point.

yep.
it’s not that Bolduc Kapanen Demidov are not fun to watch, they’re talented, but they’re rookies. normally on a good team that’s your 3rd line, like NYR a few years ago with Lafrenière and the 2 others I don’t remember.
find a center, play him with Laine and Dach, that’s your 2nd line.
then the kid line, then Anderson Evans Gally. not perfect, but the best they could do in the short term with minimum moves.
we’ll see what next summer brings.also
Le chiffre du jour : 39 %
Taux de succès du Canadien lors des mises au jeu mercredi soir. Rien ne s’améliore, surtout pour les deux cancres du CH dans le domaine, Kirby Dach (21,4 %) et Alex Newhook (22,2 %).

hmmm, that would depend on who you acquire to play at center…
with the kind of talent Demidov has, I would be more inclined to pair him with a player who can match his skill set and maximize his potential. there’s no point having him spend any time on a regular third line imho.

it’s his rookie season, let him learn the ropes. next year he’ll replace Laine on the 2nd line. 😉

well, Hutson had his rookie season last year, giving him extra responsibilities and ice time didn’t seem to bother him at all lol.

true. who knows? maybe Laine will be part of that trade for a center

I got a couple you can have.
