GDT: Game 44: Columbus Blue Jackets vs Montreal Canadiens 1/30/22 7:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Max Domi sucks lol

 

[jaffy27]

He's the kind of player that it's still valuable to have around in a rebuild. He's still just 26, and the probability of a 1st round pick becoming better than him is super low, despite that. A rebuild doesn't mean having a team full of youngsters. This is the recipe for a disastrous rebuild.

I'm not trading everyone away...I'm trading Lehkonen away

 

[Licou]

I am seeing some positive things tonight. You can clearly see a core of players that seem to actually give a shit.

 

[Redux91]

Evan's upcoming 4yrs/1.7m gonna be real good value

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Are you kidding me... Montreals most exciting hockey this year.. and CBJ go down and score ..

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I'm not trading everyone away...I'm trading Lehkonen away

Exactly. It's like trading 3 players like chariot Lekhonen and Toffoli would make this team with no vets

Savard Allen Edmundson Price Gallagher Anderson and even Suzuki are all veterans.

Even Armia if you think about experience.

It's like trading 3 players will shatter this team lmao.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lucky fan gets to leave with a game puck.

 

[Schooner Guy]

NFL playoff games have all been closer than recent Habs games.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Wow. Hoffman has 15 minutes of ice time and havent noticed him

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Wow. Hoffman has 15 minutes of ice time and have noticed him

6 of them on the power play.

Story of his career

 

[Big Lurk]

Unfortunately this GM is starting to smell like a poseur. Predictable, Molson is still there.

explain

 

[yianik]

Lehks looking more attractive to teams. Including to us of course. Guy has value.

 

[Schwang]

Heartbreaking after such a great effort

That's what happens when you lack star players. I know they have a couple guys who can score, but they have no one who can break open a game or be clutch night after night. A star player or 2 would have scored on that flurry. I can't believe they couldn't put the puck in.

Yeah, The byron effect. His hustle and IQ are infectious and he is sorely underrated.

 

[Hins77]

I don’t know why Montembauly is still playing like our first goalie? I mean. Gives those games to Primeau for his own experience. Montembault is awful

 

[Redux91]

Wait Arty has 3 pts lol that's amazing

 

[sheed36]

Wow. Hoffman has 15 minutes of ice time and havent noticed him

He's paying tribute and dedicating this game to this season's version of Armia.

yup....gotta identify who stays and the obvious candidates are Anderson, Edmundson, Savard...and like you said, Suzuki will take more room in the room when a few of these guys leave.

I want to keep Toffoli but if some team is offering a kings ransom well then...it's a kings ransom lol

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

4 on 1 and uses the worst option

No wonder Columbus are in the bottom 10 lmao

 

[Schwang]

Should've traded Chiarot weeks ago. The guy has cooled off big time.

 

[jaffy27]

Wait Arty has 3 pts lol that's amazing

who's Arty?

edit: Lehkonen....nevermind lol

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Chiarot and his useless forays up ice.

Two cent brain

Well that's how you rebuild.

Also players like Wideman Kulak and Petry who's probably gone this off-season will remove some bad vibes from the locker room.

Petry is absolutely toxic in this locker room. Wouldn't be surprised that nobody in the team would care to see him go

Suzuki is in his 3rd season, barely has 200 games under his belt. Wouldn't call that a veteran.
Anderson is the only player you mentioned I'm interested in keeping. Allen could stick around as a back up. The rest, meh.

 

[Hins77]

Wow. Hoffman has 15 minutes of ice time and havent noticed him

The moment hoffman and wideman played together here the first game. I bet we were looking to be the next senators from 17-18. They were really bad.
