This team can't afford to ignore positive stats...
I'd take Valiev over Benn on the left side.

How now, show some respect for Alzner!
I thought I was. I think he belongs in the AHL. Many see him as a beer-league caliber.

Just one more than Pacioretty
Yea well hey Pacioretty is a fantastic hockey player, its still a real mystery as to why they felt so obliged to move him, same goes for Subban, McDonagh, Sergachev and more. Very bizarre, at least for me.

He sure as heck wasn't fantastic last year. All those other guys I agree, but the difference between 1 year of Pacioretty and 3 years of Tatar is definitely not Suzuki+2nd.

Yeah they need to stop with the Armia on the 1st line experiment. They should try Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Lehkonen

They moved Pacioretty because he wanted an 8 year deal from Montreal so you trade him or you lose him for nothing those were your options.
Suzuki-Kotkaniemi-Lehkonen
Hudon-Peca-Scherbak
Chaput-DLR-Armia
Should've been the lines. I wanted Armia in the top 6 to work in some form of capacity but he hasn't really shown anything.

Yes. They can wear down a teams D over a 60 min game. When your group of forwards are consistent and finish their checks, the other teams players start to make mistakes in tight spaces cause they know a hit is coming. However, our Habs group of players are not feared in the physicality department. We did get a bit faster this year which is nice but teams will play us with confidence cause they know they can win the war against us. Especially in a playoff series over a best of 7. It's been a problem of mine for years!
New team, city, teammates, role...give him some time.
Armia is probably 3rd line material but lets not judge a vet off 2 pre season games.

I did a DNA test this year and I was more Finnish than I expected, 46% Scandinavian (the Swedish part), 41% Finnish and 3% Neanderthal. That gives me legitimacy to cheer on the Finns since you don't have any decent Swedish players, at least not yet.
Nah, last season and during his Buffalo days he'd shine in tertiary roles but whenever they'd increase his role for the time being he'd just kind of leave you wanting more. I don't mind giving the experiment another try at some point though, not like we have anything to lose.

Pacioretty is absolutely NOT a fantastic hockey player. Have you been reading these boards and watching games for the past couple years? He’s a goal scoring, complimentary winger at best. Please don’t use words like fantastic when describing that lazy ass.
Wow you guys really over value pacioretty. Seriously. So happy with the return and most of all happy he’s gone. I know it’s preseason, but the hockey style being played has been a lot more exciting than watching pacioretty play. It was like watching someone play table hockey! Skate north and south, shoot from far away!
