GDT: Habs/Sens (Tonight @ 7:30PM on RDS & TSN5)

[Rapala]

Kinkaid staying square.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I just think you want a veteran as the 4c, no? Not a a rookie cutting his teeth in the NHL.

He can bring in more offense than Thompson and Nate can teach him some stuff on faceoff work or other tricks. I'd rather Evans in the 4C role than Poehling, that's for sure.

 

[26Mats]

Suzuki has to be a top 9 atleast until the return of Byron.

I have him ahead of Byron, and Armia. If we're 100% healthy and Byron and Poehling come back, I think we roll 4 good lines which can produce offensively.

This is what happens when you dont let players dominate. Ive said the same thing before the season in 2018... Look at Suzuki and look at Kotkaniemi, one is dangerous as hell and the other has no confidence in his abilities.

I don't think it's confidence. I think he's just not pushing as hard. I agree with Guy Boucher's take.

 

[admiralcadillac]

I don't think that Kotkaniemi is ever going to be a big point producer in the NHL, 50-60 point guy possibly, I know that he is still very young but he doesn't strike me as the type of center that will produce big point totals, his overall game will be solid but not what people are hoping for, a Mikko Koivu type of player but not a star.

This take fresh off the piping hot press

 

[TT1]

The only call that was real was chariots,

And tchacuk runs the goalie and gets a lot of cross check and a face wash.

That's the opposite of chippyIf

 

[Holystik]

I'm going to play ps4 before PGT.

Suzuki so far securing a very possible spot top 9 RW

Fleury so far questioning the org for the 3rd Rhd.

GG everyone, fun preseason so far except for the injuries.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good game.

Sens suck.

Man you're really persistent with your opinions. Let things play out dawg

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I also find that KK has been fine no extraordinary plays but that can’t happen every night

No doubt he’s been “fine”, but we need more than fine from a #3 overall

I think that Claude Julien put more pressure on KK to play a safer more defensive style and I saw the same type of game from Suzuki at last years camp. It just seems like KK is not going to take many chances out there. Suzuki on the other hand seems to be set free.

I don't think it's confidence. I think he's just not pushing as hard. I agree with Guy Boucher's take.

What did Guy say? Hes not pushing for sure, but a lot of time when a player doesnt learn what he can do, he will never do it.
