I get why Khudobin plays again but not really a fan of that. Honka for Hanley seems a good idea since Hanley looked like the weak link . Forwards looked good yesterday so if everyone is good to go again no need for any changes.

Khudobin has been shaky lately, but I suppose against this high flying Avs team it's best to not start the ahl goalie

Excited to see faksas shutdown line to go against the mckinnon line.

Only worry is having nuke going against such a dangerous top line h2h.

Id prefer they put comeau back on that shutdown line for a night.

An effective night from faksas group gives us a good chance.

Monty’s message to the AHLers is a harsh one: back to the press box if you fail to score a goal.

Have a feeling dobbys gonna get lit up . He reminds me a lot of niemi lately. Constantly looking behind him after every save .

 

[Hasbro]

What do you guys think of Monty so far?

 

[Kcb12345]

What do you guys think of Monty so far?

I like him a lot so far but wish he would change things up a little more when it's not working out (ex: top powerplay unit, top line sometimes, etc.). I also don't like that he isn't giving Dickinson more of a chance but I know he likes him a lot.

He's great for the young guys and players though. He is putting them in a position to succeed and is playing Spezza where he should actually be played.

The depth is still not great but that's not on him. The injuries and forward core are hurting this team but I blame Nill for that before Monty

Random Side note: I love his interviews (super descriptive and answers every question well) and he seems like a great guy.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Only worry is it seems like even his energy can't get this group to play a 60 minute game. The existing team culture may be too engrained. Just MHO

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Lindell keeps getting beat outside wide every game.

 

[Kcb12345]

Lindell is having a really rough start

 

[Kcb12345]

Woah Faksa doesn't even kill penalties for us now?

Units were

Comeau-Dickinson
Janmark-Shore

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Faksa Pitlick was out there.. but all season Monty heasn't really relied on him on the PK like Hitch did.

Lots of occasions where he isn't 1st or 2nd out there.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Josh mis calls players so frequently. Needs to learn our team.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Like how do you call Janmark, Faksa, don't look the same, different style.. look at whose on the ice.

Just totally clueless to whats happening. Same with all the delays at the start of the game.. "maybe they are discussing where the puck will get dropped" .. lmfao what

 

[ugrakarma]

Khudobin handling the puck causes heart palpatations.

 

[Kcb12345]

I'll take 0-0

 

[Kcb12345]

Lmao Fedun passing up a great opportunity to shoot so he could pass to Shore behind the net

 

[Kcb12345]

Wtf was Honka doing. Too many guys standing and watching

Must be nice to have a reliable top line

 

[Robert Kentwood]

Honka is terrible...

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Honka is awful. He has no idea what to do.

 

[The Tourist]

We have the most boring superstars in the league. MacKinnon is just on another planet than our big 3.

 

[Kcb12345]

Our team is filled with players that only wanna play defense

No transition game at all. They seem to enjoy just getting the puck out of the zone and then getting a change

 

[M88K]

Remember when most people around here said Honka was going to be on our 2nd pairing and that his entire problem was Hitch misused him...
Well seems like a good time to say it now "I told you he sucked"

 

[Kcb12345]

Comeau out of everyone gets the 2 on 1. Ugh
