Well at least Anderson is being demoted

 

[McGees]

Probably didn’t help that he was OBVIOUSLY injured and returned to keep playing.
Thought our new training staff would be smarter.

Honestly what else is to be done except for blending until something works. Very few combinations have yielded sustained results everything has looked bad eventually or right away. This is a bad hockey team with a bunch of players that don't fit together

Anderson and Dvorak in particular are just not players who will do well in MSL's system. They should be moved the moment anything of value gets offered.

Harris is out indefinitely too I see. Yep blame the medical staff.

Man it has to be challenging to play on a bad team. Losing takes it toll.

Today marks my 20th year on HF. Probably longer than some posters here have been alive

What kind of gift will the Habs give me tonight??

What is with MSL's weird obsession with having Monahan on the 3rd line exactly? It somewhat made sense with Dvorak out. It's beyond bizarre now.

We don't nearly have enough horses to spread out the offence on 3 lines - just put him between CC and Slaf ffs.

 

[morhilane]

Gally on the 1st is something. Maybe put Slaf there with Newie and Suzuki and keep Caufield on the 2nd instead?

Monahan has not looked good the last 3-ish games. He's probably injured...

hello is this the game day thread hehe

I'll take a 50% Monahan over the corpse of Dvorak.

 

[The Real Timo]

OMFG!!! I almost fell off a chair laughing. Have we arrived to never-never land with MSL now?

 

[morhilane]

Monahan was terrible against the Bruins with Slaf/Ylonen, Slaf/Dvorak/Ylonen was a much better line in the 3rd period.

 

[Habssince89]

I predict Anderson will get his first one on the trip

They are trying to prop up Dvorak so they could trade him at the deadline...(I hope).

Isn't that the goal with Monahan?

Dvorak's value won't really change much.

Nothing. Habs don't play tonight. Nobody in the NHL does.

Lol, funny stuff.

Those are the ugly lines the day after a bag skate. Those wont be the lines tomorrow I'm willing to bet.

 

[LV426]

Another trip out West... Super stoked.

 

[26Mats]

So these are MSL's lines.

Newhook-Suzuki-Gallagher
Caufield-Dvorak-Slafkovsky
Pearson-Monahan-Anderson
Pezzetta-Evans-Ylonen

I think the Suzuki line is too small and won't be able to maintain Ozone presence. I would switch Gally and Pearson. Or better,

Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Newhook
Caufield-Monahan-Ylonen
Gallagher-Dvorak-Anderson
Pezzetta-Evans-Pearson

 

[pepperMonkey]

Isn't that the goal with Monahan?

Dvorak's value won't really change much.

Well, if that is the case (Monahan), that line up isn't going to help him much
(Though I suppose, with Monahan on the third line, it could prop up Anderson...albeit, that's a pie in the sky type dreaming...)
