Post-Game Talk: Habs beat Sens 3-2, Scherbust Edition

[Habs Icing]

First point, if Claude even thinks about putting Drouin at center, I'm going to kidnap him and torture him in my basement till he promises to never do it again. How will I torture him, you ask?. I'll only feed him five monster meals a day.

Reilly has impressed me. Reilly impressed me

Cockamamie is a jewel.

If we only received Tatar in that Patches trade I'd be happy. Tatar s hard to play against. Patches the opposing team never worked up a sweat.

Danault should not, I repeat, should not be on the top two lines.

For all those that are crapping on Scherby. He got a goal and an assist. He deserves to stay with the big team. He's only going to get better.

That Shrinaruk kid could be a decent call up if Bouchard can get his mitts on him.

I love the type of hockey this team is playing.

And finally many are going to laugh at me but this team is going to battle for a playoff spot.

Shaw will be back soon and I think Bergevin signs Ward

So who do you cut ties with? We can only keep 14 forwards. With Shaw and Ward and the above list, that's 17. 3 need to go.

 

[Phil Parent]

What about Shaw, will he come back before the end of the camp?

 

[OnTheRun]

Well, well, well.

Too bad he spent all summer training to play center and was, allegedly, "100 times" better at the position.

Trade for a top 4 Left D please

yes. Theodore.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Aside from scoring a goal, din't notice Tkachuk all that much until the 3rd period and Armia knocked him on his ass.

Kotkaniemi was noticeable all game long, particularly with his 3 posts and setting guys up.

anyone have vids of these posts? I saw the last one was on that tip he made right?

This team wins 1 pre season game and we are battling for a playoffs spot

Hf mania

Reilly may become a legitimate #4 D in the NHL. With fast skating D at a premium why would Minnesota give him away?

 

[1909]

What about Shaw, will he come back before the end of the camp?

No. But possibly a couple of weeks after the start of the season.

 

[OldCraig71]

I personally think he is closer to a Finnish Bobby Smith just my unique and humble opinion...

 

[Gravity]

Well, well, well.

Shocking.....!

Because they have already better top-four d-men and expensive, too...

 

[JianYang]

I'm still skeptical of this guy, but who knew Julien of all people would like him so much (or supposedly so).

 

[Phil Parent]

Don't think they sign Ward, Shinkaruk would be sent down... and I don't think much of De La Rose. That takes into consideration that Kotkaniemi takes a spot.

Also, don't forget about Chaput, he's done good.

Makes him an overall better player in all zones.

A trade has to be considered. Guys like Hudon May become expendable.

 

[Habs Icing]

Just wondering, has anyone compared Kotkaniemi to Bobby Smith?

Who is Bobby Smith?

He's weak on the puck and bobbles it a lot. He can improve that aspect of his game, but it's not a sure thing he'll take it to the next level.

Their depth on defense is why. Like Peca with Tampa. The depth in their respective positions in their previous clubs made them expendable.

He's effective with the new system their implementing.

Chaput's been good, but no way good enough to beat Scherbak, Hudon, Lehkonen.

I'd like to see more of Shinkaruk. I like his jump and feel like he could break free at any moment and start to produce.

Where did we found Reilly again?
