[Habssince89]

I'm ready for the season! LET'S GO RED!

just when i thought i wouldnt have to see this anymore....

 

[Price is Wright]

Line-up I see as of now:

PAc - DD - PAP
Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Sekac
Bourque - Eller - Gallagher
Prust - Malhotra - Weise
Moen

Emelin - Subban
Markov - Gilbert
Beaulieu - Weaver
Pateryn

Price
Tokarski

I think that's pretty much what I see too. However I could also see:

Patches - DD - PAP
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Sekac - Plekanec - Bourque

 

[Kriss E]

It's day 3 of training camp. Some of you need to chill out.

 

[Kriss E]

I think that's pretty much what I see too. However I could also see:

Patches - DD - PAP
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Sekac - Plekanec - Bourque

You could and will likely see a bunch of different combinations. At least I hope so. That's what camp is for.

 

[Disappearing Semin]

Is there any way to watch yesterday's game. I would like to see how Scherbak did.

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

The guy is also 32 years old. He's getting up there for a physical 4th line guy. He's played almost 700 games in the nhl, a lot for that type of player. Unfortunately, the concussions accelerated his decline. He's still solid depth to have imo, but the problem is that you can't carry 30 forwards. With a set 4th line and with Bournival and Sekac showing that they can slot into a middle 6 position, it will be really really tough for Moen to crack the line up. His experience right now is keeping him afloat.

Let this be a lesson to all GMs out there, never sign a 4th liner for more than 2 years.

 

[macavoy]

I will bet anybody Bealieu is a full time NHLer at the end of the season

 

[macavoy]

He is the one lock of the Habs rookies to be an NHLer.

 

[macavoy]

Tinner will be there one day
but he still needs time

 

[Habssince89]

Beaulieu's ceiling is way higher and I also expect him to make the jump to full-time starter this year.

I have no doubts about Tinordi however. That guy is gonna be solid

 

[calder candidate]

I don't see how the org chooses Beaulieu or Tinordi over Bouillon, he clearly outplayed them in that game.

The organisation isn't selecting player for one one game, there is some longer term planning that are guiding there decision.
Bouillon isn't improving or getting younger, Beaulieu Tinordi and Pateryn could all be better than him before the end of the year...

Hope Therrien understands this. Why waste NHL game experience on an old guy when our youngsters can use it to progress.

 

[GREMLIN]

LMFAO

Do i have to remind people that last year, not in the scrimmage (where hitting isn't part of the game really) but in the pre-season game that the line of Pactches-DD-Brere had already some chemistry and they were already dominating the play. Briere felt comfortable there, they were our best line in the pre-season.

How did they do in the real season again?


This is FREAKING scrimmage, it's not a game, it's barely a practice.
You shouldn't even be allowed to watch them, it's the first year we saw scrimmage and already some of you think it's good to evaluate NHLer who just getting in shape, not wanting to get hurt and try the things they practiced this summer.

Seriously? Did I call DD a franchise center off the scrimmage? I just said he dominated, oh right this is HF so let's not give the guy any credit for looking great from day 1 of camp. Chuckie didnt dominate, that's it. I am fully aware that DD isn't an ideal 1C but he's the guy Patches wants to play with. Oh I guess you know so much more about hockey than Max Pacioretty right??? Did you ever even play hockey?

I've been protecting DD from you guys the last couple days because we have no one else better to play with Patches. I'm not his fanboy or anything, but you guys are severely underating him, anyone should at least acknowledge that as today, DD has the best passing skills of any C on this team and has very good hockey sense.

Max Pac was the 4th best scorer in the NHL last year and DD is the only center he's had success with. You take DD out his line we might not even make the playoffs. Gaining experience in the playoffs is probably the most beneficial thing for our kids right now.

False. Patches had success with Gomez and Gionta.

I never knew that Mallhotra could spoke French.

False. Patches had success with Gomez and Gionta.

14 goals in 37 games ... pace of 31 goals over 82 games.

Whatever, its still irrelevant. DD is the only center with whom Pacioretty has had success

Mother is francophone.

 

[Natey]

I wonder if it's possible to see

Patch-DD-PAP
Ghetto-Plek-Sekac
Eller-Chuckie-Gally
Bourque-Malholtra-Prust/Weise
Moen

To start the season.

Sucks though I want to see Bournival in the line-up.
??

 

[WeThreeKings]

Based on this scrimmage. I expect that malhotra will score 41 goals

No way both Ghetto and Sekac make the team. Plus, they need Plekanec against the opposition's top lines so they wouldn't both be playing with him, if they did make it.

 

[Disappearing Semin]

He is technically on pace for it

 

[Whitesnake]

When it's time for a guy to go....it's time. Have no idea why Moen is still part of this team unless nobody wants him even for a 5th or 6th rounder.

At least thats something we can all agree on. Especially when you got TT as a head scout. If you can get any kind of draft picks for your scrubs you go ahead and move them, then Timmins works his magic and turns these scrubs into Gallaghers.
