GDT: Game 32: Ottawa Senators vs Montreal Canadiens 12/11/19 7:30pm EST SN, RDS, TSN 690

I posted in last nights PGT that Ben Chiarot has been playing some pretty big minutes lately and as looked pretty good and to me has been a very pleasant surprise this season. Seems Weber likes playing with Chiarot as well with increased offensive stats when paired with him.

Just sneak in a Mickey of whiskey and buy yourself a large coke

Atta boy Galchenyuk,say as it is,just leave the mickey home.

Or if you prefer beer instead of whiskey buy a 12 pack and this beer belly contraption.

 

[cphabs]

Charles Hudon is coming back for the 138th time ?

LMAO!

 

[sheed36]

Poehling at wing tonight.

You pour the beer into some sort of plastic bag vest w/ a straw? Not a bad idea, still I think the beer would get warm after the first few!

on a team with a young and unproven D, I am not sure pairing two defensively reliable D together is the greatest idea

You just need to drink it very quickly then.

 

[Roadhouse]

Yeah well then that straw is going down below the belt to collect this very-quick beer. Fill the bag again, it'll be warm this time.

The difference is Poehling is actually good.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I personally hope they call up Belzile.

Had a great camp, tons of energy, plays with a lot of grit. We're looking at replacing 4th line minutes here, Belzile would be my pick in a heartbeat, Weiss a close second for the same reasons.

He's injured.

What evidence do you have to support that?

Because McCarron's AHL beginning was a lot better than Poehlings.
Leblanc's beginning to his AHL career was better, even looked pretty good on a shitty team in the NHL that year, too.
Galchenyuk scored more in the NHL at 18, 19, 20 then Poehling did in the NCAA.
Scherbak's AHL first season is actually tracking to be the same as Poehling's PPG.

All of these guys looked pretty good, if not better than Poehling, and pretty much got worse the longer the team had to develop them hands on.

The proof will be in the pudding. Poehling is going to be a really good NHLer, and there will be no "development" excuses made for him. Period.

All the players named were expected to be as good or better than Poehling you might want to try a different argument

Ok, so it's no evidence just a pure gut feeling on your behalf.

Poehling has looked better than I originally thought, but by no means is he developmentally immune to the Habs and their history of idiotic moves when it comes to a player's development.

Calling him up, just as he strings together a few good AHL games, playing him bottom line and out of his natural position. I mean, that's basically the Leblanc, DLR, McCarron playbook.

I've liked the Chiarot acquisition since the start of the season. But lately, he's been real good for the Habs.

 

[sheed36]

The Habs could use someone like Knuckles for games against the Sens. Love how Robinson is looking on in the background here.

If I get drunk at 6pm I'm dosing off at 9

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Hes not wrong at all ahhahaha
I think hes mad because he lost to an ahl roster tho

How about their play at WJC? Did any of those guys have the success Poehling had? Or how about none of those guys EVER had a NHL game as good as Poehling had in his first?

But it comes down to scouting, and understanding "translatable traits". I know a couple of you jamokes fall in love with long winding wrist shots on tall players, but none of those guys had the combination of actual translatable hockey tools that RP possesses.

Back when our scouting was terrible, sure.

 

[sheed36]

Even though punchable face Pageau always seems to score in every game against the Habs they said on TSN690 earlier that in 20 career games against the Habs he's scored 9 goals. It seems like he's scored way more than that though for some reason.
