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

[Tyson]

Just trading Shaw is fine, no need to keep Ward to act as a surrogate.

Rebuilding teams need to have guys like Ward setting the examples. I would love to keep him.

I amended my post. Jeez, a little repartee never hurt anyone.

Well, it hurt me.

I looked up Bobby Smith on google.

We're just unpaid virtual contributors to a hockey site, we don't have feelings.

When Old Man Craig made the comparison a few nights ago, I agreed with him and told him The Eagle's face even resembles Bobby Smith. God I hope, Kot develops into the type of player Bobby was.

Danault should never be in the 1st PP unit. Never. Even worse than Plekanek starting OT.
I like the involvement of Tatar. Can't beleive some wanted to trade him for a 2nd right after the MaxPac trade.
Reilley is looking real good too, don't like the 3-4 times he took a shot form the point with no one in front of the net and no pressure. But overall a nice surprise.
Drouin finally looking like 1st liner. Much faster than last year.

MB won't be happy, should of used youtube.

Why is that what he used?

 

[greyboy67]

If Kotkey is already the team's top center, I can't see the Habs shipping him back to Finland.

After the Domi trade, in his media scrum, MB encouraged people to look at clips of Domi on YT to get a glimpse of what he can do.

The team is filled to the brim with attitude we do -not- need Ward. I like Ward but it's time to give spots to the kids.

No , I am Bobby Smith!

I think we all know what happens to ex-players who join this forum. It's not pretty.

Yeah, I remember that. That was probably how he does all his scouting.

Love the new avatar.

It's probably only because Domi thought he was his father.

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.

Tkachuk is going to be very overrated by the media. For some reason TSN and SN both like to hype him up like he is an elite player. For instance you would have thought Tkachuk dominated tonight's game with the way TSN was propping him up.

I didn't watched the game, disappointed to read that Armia is 3rd line material, I was hoping he could fill the 2nd line RW spot. But I am happy to hear more people happy with the Ward signing. This team needs leadership and Ward will bring lots of it. With Deslauriers out, Ward size and physicality will be needed on the 4th line. Too bad McCarron doesn't seem to be fit for the NHL.

I don't know, I wouldn't judge Armia on the one game. Let's see how he does over the rest of the pre-season games.

I agree. Ward is a good locker room guy to have and can simply be rotated in and out of the lineup and then flipped at the deadline for a decent pick.

 

[ahmedou]

Attitudely-attitude job done

 

[Habs Icing]

Something tells me this team will not be in a position to flip any players at the TDL. They may just make the playoffs.

Armia looks slow and not involved at all but it's preseason and he's a vet. Ward I haven't paid much attention to, but there's no room for him unless trades are made. Which I could see them trading Scherbak for peanuts so they can sign Ward, Julien would be dancing in his office I bet. McCarron looks faster, I hope/expect him to clear waivers, if he can continue to work on his speed he might be able to land a spot next year especially with all the small forwards we have already.
