Damn auto correct on my phone.

I know it’s really early in the season but Laine is pretty much useless, the guy is too slow to be of any use … and he costs a fortune.

Yeah, but I will also state that Evans and Anderson are not ideal linemates for him 5 v 5.

And the second unit is clearly not as strong as the first.

I do expect more from Laine, but I am not surprised by what we are seeing.

But lets see where we are at at the 10 game mark, especially home games, where they Habs have last change.

Ransom Thoughts

– Rough game.

– Lucky they got the win… Knight kept the Hawks in it all night.

– The kids look good, Bolduc and Slaf playing to another level. Full season Slaf is gonna be fun to watch.

– Not much playing time for Kapenen… would have like to see him get some PP, just to mix it up a little, given the Habs were terrible / predictable.

– I like Demidov, but he reminds me of Slaf year 1 – always looking to make the pass / deferring to others. Needs to be selfish and shoot more… but I really appreciated his hustle to kill the breakaway during that Power Play.

– A win is a win, but they should have blown the Hawks out of the water.

we’re not far away, just replace Laine by Veleno 🙂

Laine will play, unless hurt or traded.

Nothing will change with that.

I am not terribly worried at this point, for the most part, they are playing well.

We will continue to see things as they are for now, until there is a bad game or two.

Evens deserves better. Heck, so does Anderson.

Still think it ends up:

Caufield Suzuki Slaf
Laine Dach Bolduc
Newhook Kapanen Demidov
Anderson Evans Gally

The only thing that may drastically force changes is if the Kapenen line gets into a slump.

[Mash]

Also, I think Gally and Bolduc work well together, too.

Gally with Evans & Anderson

I think this will be a line at some point.

In a good way, Kapenen mixed everything up with the way he plays with Demidov (and Newhook).

The Laine problem will be a problem all season, is my guess.

i noticed it yesterday. it’s weird.

all quotes are final! no returns, no exchanges!

i’m sure they’ll fix it eventually. but it’s a weird feature to up and disappear like that.

you can still edit your last post. but only your last post.

I also think it is limited in time til you can edit.

I cannot edit any of my previous posts, but when I submit, I can edit the last one for a little bit of time.

EDIT: I edited this to test.

EDIT #2: Test.

Full Year of Slaf… but if you want a Fill Year of Slaf, hope for that too.

[Mash]

Heh.

Cannot edit posts anymore?

Habs win! Detroit looks like a mess and it’s a great day!

Kids look good, Bolduc, Demidov and Kapenen.

Slaf has impressed as well, using size, getting into shooting position, lots of shots on net already, PP goal.

Hopefully we get our first Fill Year of Slaf!

Kids are looking good again tonight… and a lot more “bad breaks” tonight already.

Something wrong with those sticks.
