A prime example of the dangers of copy pasting

 

[HabsInsider]

I always liked Danault but he's a 3rd or 4th liner. He really has no business playing on the top line. It's the coach's fault for deploying him in that manner. I see a lot of people angry with him for his lack of production, but the real issue is he just doesn't have the required skill set for that role. And the same applies to other players in the lineup.

We're better off just running with Suzuki and Kotkaniemi down the middle as 1C and 2C because that's what they're projected to become.

I predicted a loss to Ottawa but I forgot we're getting them on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. If we can't win that game, we're truly in trouble.

 

[Tyson]

We should end the Perry experiment. He's done.

Habs have a couple of young players who skate very well and would be an improvement because Perry can't keep up with the tempo. Vejdemo and Poehling. Play the kids

 

[The Great Weal]

Lol is Ducharme trying to be a big brain again like how he did in OT against the Jets? Going for the element of surprise? Break up Chiarot-Weber, play Allen and take Danault off that f***ing line for christ sake. No, I'm not expecting us to light the league on fire again with these changes, but what we have and had for the past bit isn't working at all.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Had a ton of prominent actors on that show. Hugh Laurie(Dr House) Mr Bean of course, Stephen Fry(V for Vendetta and a lot more), Miranda Richardson(Rita Skeeter, harry potter), Tony Robinson, Robbie Coltrane(Hagrid), Brian Blessed, The late great Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (full bottom). Haven't seen it in a long time.

Yeah, absolutely classic comedy. Loved it! CBC used to show British shows Saturdays at one time. I think it played at 10 am. Was part of my Saturday morning routine.

And, yes, the cast is f***ing amazing. Who's who of 80s/90s British comedy. They all went on to do great things too.

Ditto with the writers. Richard Curtis went on to write Love Actually and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

A prime example of the dangers of copy pasting

The dangers ... and the benefits.

I played goal and I get the "being in the right frame of mind" thing, but why does it seem this guy needs frequent resets to do his job? Thats a huge warning sign in my book.

I also played a goalie back in Russia/USSR since I was five and until I was 16. In my case I got better the more I played. We had these odd cases of two consecutive games one immediately after another and I always did better in the second game. (i'd start them both) If my memory serves me right, I registered 12 shotouts in the second games. Of course, level of competition was nothing like the NHL, but it was still guys hammering slap shots at me at times.

Over in Canada I played RW for Concordia's hockey team for two years until my knee completely gave out. Hockey is a lot more physical in Canada, or at least it was back then, and I had a pre-existing kneecap injury from being a goalie.

 

[dinodebino]

0 changes lol..

I was less than enthused to see they were going with Ducharme honestly, he just doesnt look like hes got the stones for it, doesnt have a nathan mackinnon and doesnt have a stacked team canada roster lol..

There was a legit general concern he would RELY on Danault more of all people and so far...so bad..

I didn't see the ice time distribution the last game. I heard that 11 had the 4th least ice time for forwards? How about 24?

Danault played 15:32. KK 14:48 and Evans 9:41. Top 3 most used forwards were Suzuki at 21:03, Drouin at 19:52, and Toffoli at 19:19.

 

[Habs]

When you have to lean on a player like Danault it shows that we are far from being a playoff team.

This is what happens when you "reset" instead of "rebuild"

yeah but we beat the Penguins, who needs high draft picks anyways?

 

[dinodebino]

Ok. And he played during PKs. Plus he was on the ice in OT. Which means he's playing 3rd line centre minutes 5 vs 5? Why is everybody pissed if it's the case? The OT was ridiculous, everybody is saying it. But take out that time on the ice, and he looks to have played like a 3rd liner. Which he is.

BINGO!!

This is bang on... Danault is playing 3rd line minutes and taking key draws. Seems about right.

Exactly.

Luckily for you, pre-existing conditions are not an issue in Canada.

 

[LeHab]

Matt Murray is playing vs Flames tonight. Joey Daccord is backuping up, expected to be the goalie tomorrow or Sens go back to Murray? Daccord has one career NHL start and a whole 20 mins this season.

He will get his first shutout tomorrow

So we're getting shut out tomorrow.

 

[abo9]

Guys I think you got it all wrong

taking Danault off the first line is exactly what our opponents would think we would do

If our strength lies in our deph, and Danault's line outplays the elite of the NHL, the other teams should stop outscoring us

 

[GoodKiwi]

Luckily for you, pre-existing conditions are not an issue in Canada.

The worst hit I've ever taken was actually a friendly fire from a friend of mine who's a 6'4" defenseman. I cut to the middle in the offensive zone with my back to him while on a powerplay and it felt like I ran into a wall. He got me on the back of my knee unintentionally and I felt like my leg exploded. The pain was too much. I've skated since, but can't put nearly the same amount of pressure on my left leg anymore.

 

[Tyson]

Habs better bring their A Game tomorrow...these young Sens play hard every shift

 

[abo9]

Right now, I'd take Burrows over Tatar or Danault...

I know he played with the Sedin's, but I'm 95% certain that Alexandre Burrows best career year is the best amongst this roster. (I forgot Perry but is he relevant?). More goals than Gallagher's best, more points than Toffoli/Tatar's best.

So humm, what I'm trying to say is that I can't wait for our vets to show Suzuki and Kotkaniemi how to be dominant on the ice.

 

[gillyguzzler]

Was really hoping to see Anderson. Too bad he won't play. Love watching him every shift.

 

[thewall]

Murray really love that spin move. Refs buy it once again and blows a quick whistle.

 

[LeHab]

So we're getting shut out tomorrow.

He will get his first shutout tomorrow

Newbie backup with a French sounding name... I'm ready.

 

[abo9]

When Price started into the league, and then when he was at his best, people praised him nonstop for his calm demeanour and for exuding confidence. Nothing seemed to bother him

Seems like he's lost that, and with it a big advantage on the ice
