Pre-Game Talk: Habs/Flames Tomorrow 6:30 PM Time for the Caufield Show?

[montreal]

The Habs are 4 pts up with a game in hand, tomorrow night they will need to wake up as you need to walk out of there with the 2 pts or things are going to get very uncomfortable even with a game in hand. Allen likely back in nets, the big question is will Caufield be in the lineup?

I know some don't want him to dress with a team that's only won 5 out of 14 games this month but it will be a playoff like game for him so I'm sure it will be a ton of fun for him and give the fans something to be excited about even if we lose.

You've gotta put him in there.

 

[Kriss E]

I rather he got an opportunity on a well functioning team but if he's gonna be here with us, might as well play him.

 

[26Mats]

Release the Cole

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Cole at this point would be using a fire extinguisher to put out a forest fire.

Send him back down and let him do well in the A. Bring him back in next year with Bouchard, new GM and the rest of the new coaching staff Bouchard brings

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Too much of a hot dog in practice, not a team player, needs to become a better person first. Double shift Staal instead. He can come up when he learns to play Habs hockey.

 

[Tuggy]

Best prospect not in the NHL...play him FFS!

 

[sbhatt]

Games aren't worth watching until they do insert Caufield. Watching guys who have sub-5 shooting percentages cost us game after game has no draw for me anymore.

Exactly, havent we rushed enough young player already to know its just a dumb way to operate. Finally we seems to have a good coach mentor to develop the kids in the farm team. Let him develop and dominate in the AHL first please. I dont want another KK misdevelopment

Yeah, it worked with AG & is working out swimmingly with KK.

Send him to Laval and let him develop properly.

That’s assuming Bergevin gets fired

I agree. This is the team MB built. Let this team decide whatever he is worthy of not being fired. Keep the kids in the AHL.

 

[Zorba]

It’s gonna be so ironic the Canucks will make the playoffs after we got 15 of 18 pts from there

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Staal needs to be scratched.

Dress Cole and keep Jake Heaven in the lineup.

We need speed.

Majority of players in beer leagues across North America play with more effort and emotion than Staal is showing.

He's looking a lot like Dwight King. A more skilled version of him.

 

[First Line]

I rather he got an opportunity on a well functioning team but if he's gonna be here with us, might as well play him.

If that’s what we are waiting for he will never play for the Habs

Real players produce and stand out whether they play on dumpster fire teams or not. All the players we supposedly ''rushed'' would never have amounted to anything anyway.

 

[expy]

Going to lose again.

So everyone is just destined to be what they are. Environment has zero influence...

 

[sandviper]

You've gotta put him in there.

Do we have the cap though?

Whatever, I’m just preparing myself for the Frolik-era.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

I agree. This is the team MB built. Let this team decide whatever he is worthy of not being fired. Keep the kids in the AHL.

The sad thing is that MB suffered the most out of the FREAKIN' AWFUL drafting. Ultimately, he's 100% responsible for it because he kept the biceps club in place but the one time we seem to have a stud, that should count for a positive for MB. But then MB f***ed it up with his deadline moves so... hard to feel any sympathy.

Still I would want to see Caufield in action.

 

[Pat Riot]

maybe maybe not. We will never know. I do feel bringing a kid too fast with high expectation can be a tough pressure to handle for some players. I would prefer to see him dominate in the AHL and build confidence. Pressure can definitely crush players. But yeah some players were built for big time market and the pressure will help them become a better player. But those are the exception, I would rather be patient and see some results with the farm team before they make the jump

 

[The Great Weal]

Bergevin has to be shitting his pants and hoping that Caufiled will be the saviour. I think he will play tomorrow.
