Claude is not using him well at all, he won’t produce on a 3rd line with Armia, it’s pathetic, he should be centering Tatar and Gally, Danault is horrible.
True, but kotka has looked good even against the good teams.
Not a single goal against when he was on the ice after 4 games
No matter how much they slim down his equipment, he always looks like a Russian cosmonaut of the 50s for some reason. And, yes, I realize he's not Russian -- it's just his overall appearance.
So Kotkaniemi will stay for the entire season, nice. Even if Assat was a gong show id rather send him there, play him with men that are much harder on you.
How do you know that?? He looks like our best player out there despite playing with Armia. How do you know he wouldn’t have 3 more points if he was centering Tatar and Gally?Julien is using Kotka perfectly. Since when a 18 yo guy is supposed to be 1st line centerman at NHL level ? Kotkaniemi is no Crosby or McDavid for your info.
It's like someone was pranking them and superglued their skates to the ice. I also don't understand how they go with Shaw and Armia as part of the 3 players that are actually in play.
We could win a lot of shootout games with Byron - Drouin - Tatar

That's the key of that formation, but our point men don't seem to have that cohesion to move off of each other and create lanes. They need to practice more.Not sure i agree. I like giving extra space for our already mobile and smart defense on the PP.
Tatar and Gally were dominating despite Danault.Danault was pretty good tonight. His line dominated Crosby's in the 2nd. I like the chemistry between Domi-Drouin, only going to get better. They should have scored as a line tonight. Kotkaniemi was protected against Malkin, neither he nor Plekanec matched up well against him.
I like watching this Canadiens team. Only going to be better with the captain making the team harder to get to the net against.
Niemi was very solid tonight.
yeah.. i will have hard time watching TVA Sport this season with Renauld Lavoie and Felix sequin
Well why don’t we try him out then???How do you know he would have ?
I believe the correct terminology for that is letting their nuts hang.I didn't like our chances going into Shootout. They showed something.
Ok sure shelter him, but at least send him out there on the PP, or we shelter him from 5v4 hockey too? How do you justify not playing him on the 5v3?So Julien has used him perfectly so far.
Renaue Lavoie first question to Danault :
«I dont have any question. Good for tonight, you were excellent»
-«Thanks Renaud.»
Second question:
«I know you're married. But are you also in love with Tatar?»

I know it's unlikely to happen, but I'd put out feelers for any interest in Price with the habs eating up some salary.I think the goaltending with Lindgren and Niemi would be just as good and at least serviceable for the next few years at least.
That stat is a bit disengenuous...its not like the guy played a ton on their PPOn TVA they said Armia has never ever scored on the PP and I can start to see why. I get why they are putting him here but it's not working.
He's trying to be Pierre McGuire, except this version is on steroids.Renaue Lavoie first question to Danault :
