they already took the decision, he’s not on the trip
pretty sure it’s because he’s injured, jfc.
I honestly think the guy is trying.
But putting him on the 4th line was not a way to help him succeed. Playing on the second wave of the power play is not playing with the same level of players.
I think he can be useful.
But I also think the kids have been surprisingly good so far (how long that lasts, who knows?), that they made him redundant, or even a liability if he is only playing on the 4th line.
yeah, finding the right balance and giving him a precise role without him being in the top 6 or on the 1st PP wave seems a bit tricky, we’ll see how things develop as the season goes I guess.
wouldn’t be the end of the world if the worst-case scenario is he ends up being a healthy scratch and just walks away at the end of the season, but flipping him for picks/assets would be ideal.
they took a gamble, thought a real hockey market would be good for him. we had noone else to play these minutes anyway. didn’t work. too bad, pass.
now we have Demidov and Bolduc who can play these minutes.well, you can call habs management and let them know of your decision then.
I know Pat, your point was last season he scored on the PP. well he doesn’t anymore. he’s not even on the plane. what do you want me to tell you?
🤣
my point was I don’t think he lost his laser of a shot all of a sudden, and will surely start scoring again at some point on the PP, hence my “slow start” comment.
I am fully aware you would rather not see him play with the habs ever again.
we already have Dach who is high maintenance, don’t need another one.
yeah, that was not the point, nevermind lol.
it’s not a slow start, it is what it is. the guy has mental issues, doesn’t want to play/work. sorry for him, beubye!
pretty sure his production last year was not a figment of our imagination, he was scoring regularly last year on the PP as soon as he joined the team, which helped them make the playoffs, and this year so far he isn’t.
I thought the Dach, Bolduc, Gallagher line looked pretty decent, but I’d rather have Evans, Anderson and Gallagher together.
Kinda screws Bolduc, but at least he gets some PP time.
Laine…. over it.
The kids are showing up and scoring goals (while being exciting and engaged at both ends) – Demidov has been good, but Kapanen has far exceeded my expectations, love their chemistry.
I suspect many players would look good playing with Demidov, but Kapanen has also exceeded any expectations I had, and despite the lack of size their line has looked pretty decent.
I think it’s a slow start for Laine, he was the “X factor” last year on the PP but so far this season it’s been pretty meh, and if he isn’t scoring, well he isn’t doing much lol. I don’t really want him to stay the whole year with the habs but it would be easier to get rid of him if he’s playing and producing.
Dach was skating today and apparently was looking in good shape, while Laine won’t travel with the team for their road trip (this is very sad for a lot of fans, I know lol).
Bolduc se retrouve sur le 4e trio.
Ghule est un défenseur top 4 et notre 7e défenseur (struble) prend sa chaise ce soir (et pour les prochains matchs?).
Je pense que tu minimises un peu l’impact mon Pat.
ouin, je disais simplement que le CH devrait être capable de s’en tirer sans difficultés majeures, j’ai jamais dit que ça aurait zéro impact non plus lol
yeah! have you seen the Rangers’ lineup? nothing to write home about tbh
yeah, the only thing keeping them in games right now is their goalie, if it wasn’t for him it would be a complete disaster.
Should be interesting to see what this patchwork lineup is able to do tonight. Going to be a struggle IMO.
meh, the most significant absence is probably Guhle, other than that they have all their core players intact, shouldn’t be that bad lol.
Dans un monde où le CH resigne Matheson à long terme, serais-tu ouvert à échanger Ghule ou Reinbacher pour un centre numéro 2 de qualité? Un jeune pis pas un chaudron mettons.
Je sais pas qui je viserais et je pense que notre GM va prendre son temps dans ce dossier, mais pour moi ça demeure notre grosse faiblesse. Et il y a plus de profondeur en défense.
Je ne pense pas que Matheson va signer avant la fin de la saison, donc ce scénario devra attendre, mais on ne sait jamais. Il y a la longue pause des olympiques pour négocier.
honnêtement j’aimerais bien pouvoir garder les deux, mais si on est réaliste, force est de constater qu’ils sont tous les deux susceptibles de se blesser n’importe quand, et j’imagine que Hughes et Gorton sont déjà en train de considérer leurs options
happy for Veleno. he had an excellent camp.
yep, and prior to the injuries, MSL was saying he deserved a chance to play soon, so here it is 👍
Dach j’espère qu’il est pas blessé sérieusement, il allait pas si mal, selon moi surtout en raison de l’arrivée de Bolduc.
c’est peut-être par mesure préventive, vu qu’ils ont Veleno et Beck qui peuvent se joindre au groupe en ce moment
À moins que son agent soit cave et vraiment greedy, mais d’habitude les agents écoutent les joueurs.
oui, et contrairement à un gars comme Petry par exemple, je suis pas mal certain que Matheson et sa famille veulent rester à Montréal.
