Pre-Game Talk: Habs Heading Out West vs Ducks, Sharks, Kings & Blue Jackets

[SlafySZN]

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

Last game Slaf started to play better when they put Dvorak back with him instead of Monahan.

Dvorak has been pretty good since he’s returned. Nothing incredible but he has been better than Monahan in the last 2 weeks.

MSL takes 250k from us (hydro) to tell us to skip a shower and freeze to death while he serves us these f***ing dumbass lines omg

Losing my shit rn

It's not looking good for Monahan.

I like Monahan a lot, when healthy. But when he's injured, he just can't move out there.

Gallagher on the first line

Kill me

He's way too slow.

Ps don't everyone be surprised when Anderson starts producing at the same pace as Gally playing with moneyhands. Monahan is simply too good a player to match up against any teams bottom pairing or third line.

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

Well. Hiring a good NHL coach may help some. I don’t think MSL can do anything anymore.

CC should just worry about getting his shot on net for now. He can create a lot of rebounds and I'd prefer that to him trying to pick corners and missing. He might be trying to do too much right now forcing shots into sticks and shinpads

Yeah I said the same thing about the entire team when they posted that shooting drill image. Rarely do we see pucks fired low forcing rebounds off pads or challeging goaltenders weak areas. Above the pads and below the blocker/Glovehand. I've watched so many good goal scorers shoot there time and again making goaltenders look stupid. It's actually one of the hardest saves for them to make. It's also uncanny how good goal scorers seem to be able to get the tweeners to go while the run of the mill player hits nothing but chest.

 

[Rapala]

Are we looking to drive Suzuki to drink?

Well. Hiring a good NHL coach may help some. I don’t think MSL can do anything anymore.

I'm not sure what to think. Marty trusts Gallagher defensively for sure but it seems like a dick move foisting the player on Suzuki.
Bottom line our lack of NHL caliber top six wingers is dreadful atrocious abysmal appalling. Take your pick.

Martin when he's shuffling this disgusting line-up

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

Guhle-Barron
Matheson-Kovacevic
Struble-Lindstrom

Calice ca prend pas la tête a Papineau.
