good game for Mtl, happy for Bolduc and Kapanen, Dobes is ready, all is good.
great start for our top pairing Doboson and Matheson. won’t be easy to play againts them.
poor DET, they won’t win too many games this season.
now lets win in CHI.
GO HABS GO!Why would he pick number 76?..
PETE! 😀 😀
Good morning USA and Habs fans.
Habs win! Detroit looks like a mess and it’s a great day!
hello, friend.
it’s an okay day. meateater guy is taking the phillies thing much better than last year. i didn’t have the heart to tell him i wasn’t even watching because i cared more about the eagles game (which also sucked! 🤣)
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…
Hi Pat,
I honestly don’t know what I would do. I think the idea of a balanced lineup works but some of these lines will also need an identity at some point. Last season Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher was a very effective line that you would give defensive zone starts to (because Dvorak would win the faceoff) and their job was to get the puck deep and cycle it until they might get a scoring chance. That’s an identity.
Currently, the Suzuki line is a scoring (pretty dominating too) line.
The Demidov-Kapanen-Newhook line’s identity is speed and so far, it seems to work. Even if Demidov obviously needs to learn the defensive system as he tends to leave a guy completely open.
I don’t dislike the Bolduc-Dach-Gallagher line, even if they do seem a bit lost defensively… seems like Bolduc is carrying it more than anything at this point and I’m not sure they have an identity yet.
The Evans line right now, in my opinion, is a mess…. in huge part because of Laine that doesn’t really belong there… That’s a line that I don’t really feel has any real “role” on a team and might need to be changed at some point.Habs win! Detroit looks like a mess and it’s a great day!
man, they were horrible, getting booed like that during their home opener… the habs definitely didn’t look like the team that had played the night before, jebus.
