Glad it was Armia (even if i feel bad for him and wish him well). Kotkaniemi has a bigger role on the team and is more important.

 

[Adam Michaels]

This is true.

Feel for Armia, but agree that KK is the more important of the two.............let's hope this is it, for the rest of the season with the Habs and Covid.

 

[JianYang]

I think Gattuso sums up the habs perfectly.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Thanks for that info.

 

[JianYang]

Ya I don't think Habs will out finesse them or anyone else for that matter anytime soon.

They've shown a better ability to maintain pressure in the offensive zone under ducharme. That's something that can help mask any defensive zone issues, and lack of top end talent.

When I see the habs able to establish offensive zone pressure, I feel good about the game's outlook.

 

[Canadienna]

Hmm I wonder what the lineup will be? Losing Toffoli and Armia is going to screw up KKs line I bet.

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson
Lehkonen - Kotkaniemi - Perry
Frolik - Evans - Byron?

Where did you see that Toffoli was still out?

Unlikely.......just saying. Could get limited minutes, and some PP time?

With 25 games in 43 days I don’t think they rush him back. I think he’ll play when he’s fully healthy and ready to go.

Edit: see below tweet:

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I think they'll give Frolik a game no matter what since he got all excited to play his first game last week

 

[Adam Michaels]

KK for Kovid Killa!

Lmao that bottom 6 though. KK probably wishes he could have stayed a little longer on that COVID list.

 

[dinodebino]

Renaud thinks that they could dress 7 Ds tomorrow and have Mete play the Dandenault special, because he thinks that Tit-Paul will stay on the taxi squad for budgetary purposes.

Brazil's love for life > Covid

So perilous! Let me face the peril!

 

[CHfan1]

I guess the one good thing about that forward group is in the future they can take out Byron, Lehkonen, Frolik, Evans, and Dauphin. Then insert Toffoli, Perry, Staal, Armia, and Caufield.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

 

[Runner77]

This is true.

Meh, I would have taken your word for it. You know a lot more than Gallo ever will.

Why quote an underling?

His injury must be bad then. Not liking this. Not even on the ice? Mmmm......
