It's a collective game. No time for prospect fetishism outside of the HF bubble, and rightly so.

Aside from the LA game they've been a treat to watch so far. That's all you can ask for.

Michel Therrien is baaaaaad. Can the guy say 4 words in a row without sounding like he's got a potatoe in his mouth?

It's not only prospect fetishism in this case. It's dowright poor analysis. Kotkaniemi's not receiving passes not only from Armia, but everyone. He's just never open and all of his puck touches tonight have been from efforts of his own, which is not good at all.
He's not moving his feet enough and he gets easily checked along the boards. He's rushing things even when he does have the puck.
This is a player who's usually high compete, play driving and making plays all over the ice. He's just not ready atm.

This team has gotten rid of its last two locker room cancers this summer and it definitely shows on the ice.
I think outside of HF, Habs fans have probably underrated Suzuki in the return for Pacioretty. But on HF, people definitely underrated the part Tatar will play in this deal. This is turning out to be a great trade.

Michel sounds like a potato, Claude looks like a potato.

Very well said on the first part. His reads on offense are poor and he needs to adds a lot of deception to his game if he wants to score over 20.
Tatar, as an example, is constantly making defenders commit into plays and bad positions and keeps shifting their skates. He creates all kinds of space. He's deceptive with his shot as well even if its not as hard as Armia's.
I liked him with the Jets, but he's yet to figure out that part because he's very predictable, much like Eller was.

Nice win but I want to see how they play against St Louis. that will be telling. Another big team like L.A.

3 points night for Tatar, against his former team.
We are winning the cup guys !
We already won and celebrated the Cup last Saturday.
hey look we scored more than the alouettes!!
Hes a 3rd liner, he isn't a top 6. But he has some size, good D/PK, and will chip in a bit of offense.
Keep him on the 3rd line and he is good depth.

Its funny, because I've been labeled a hater for wanting Tatar eventually gone for futures (I feel its fine if people don't share that opinion), yet I remember "defending" him from posters calling him soft... I never got comments like that. The guy has been playing in our division for years, he's always been a puck hound and player who drives possession. Very deceptice offensively and has been since his draft year.
The keep him vs trade him debate is an entirely different one than what quality of player he is.
