GDT: Habs vs. Cats in Bathurst (7PM ET on TVA Sports & Sportsnet)

[Habano]

Poehling and Fleury have to make this team, right?

 

[Hostile Offer]

Lindgren stepping up.

 

[The Great Weal]

Ekblad and Matheson always look like garbage when they play against us

 

[DangerDave]

Concussions killed him. He looked so good in juniors.

Remember watching him thinking he's be a top 5 dman in the NHL. Looks like he actually regressed since he played junior

 

[OnTheRun]

Ahh Mtl Canadiens fans....and people wonder why high end UFAs want nothing to do with signing in Mtl.

Because their feeling get hurt on a forums they don't read...? That must be it mate.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Well these last spots might be a harder decision than thought.. Poehling, Suzuki, Evans, Thompson, Barber, Belzile, all playing well. Sad for Hudon though.

 

[Mario le Magnifique]

Give Poehling some talent to play with... He needs help, he's young, he can't drag an Ahler in each wing.

You mean, talent like Drouin ? /sarcasm

 

[salbutera]

Uh,
You're alright bud?
We are celebrating a prospect and you talk about UFAs not signing.
What is the link here?

The non stop whining last few pages...bipolar fans.

Is Poehling better than Kotkaniemi?

Kotkaniemi hasn’t impressed yet

I’ve said it many times, still believe it.

 

[dkd]

I like this Belzile kid. Grinding it out all night.

Kid is 28 years old.

 

[Mrb1p]

Ekblad and Matheson always look like garbage

Ftfy

 

[Minato is God]

Poehling's play and Evans goal were both on the penalty kill, maybe we should take more penalties

 

[JianYang]

Poehling just finds a way to show something new everytime I watch him.

Something tells me he has more talent than he gets credit for.

 

[neopreneur]

KK has been okay, some nice passes. Hopefully it'll be a repeat of last year where he improves from game to game.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Sow will this be the second preseason game in a row the Habs score the game winner shorthanded?

 

[Baksfamous112]

I just hope Poehling is fine from that hit in the second and isn’t playing with a concussion in a pre season game.

He looks fine (nice play and pass on the PK) but I would be really pissed if tomorrow Montreal announces that Poehling will be sidelined with headaches for a week or so.

To Kotka's defense, Poehling is a year older and had more time away from the Habs.

 

[Rapala]

I like this Belzile kid. Grinding it out all night.

He has a nose for the net and keeps his stick available. Not gonna make our team but damn some of our forwards could learn a thing or two from him.

 

[DangerDave]

SNet thinks the Panthers are going to challenge for division title. Is it me or are they delusional?

 

[LastRide]

Is Poehling better than Kotkaniemi?

Kotkaniemi hasn’t impressed yet

Kokt playing like where he left off last year, doing nothing. I never liked the pick.

 

[26Mats]

MB being MB...his evaluations, are brutal.

I just hope he goes with youth over slow veterans faster than he did with Alzner and Schlemko.

If Leskinen can make it, I'll forgive him for Chiarot - even if I'm disappointed we didn't bring PK back at the price he was available for. Imagine a top 3 of PK, Weber, Petry - I said it in the summer. I would love to see Subban get the challenge of playing the left side than bring in Chiarot.

 

[Mrb1p]

Fleury has that young Shea Weber feeling.

 

[The Great Weal]

Florida pretty much ices their entire team but still can't beat the Laval Rockets lol

 

[Gravity]

I’ve said it many times, still believe it.

What do you project as KK's upside then?

 

[dkd]

To me it looked like Poehling hurt his leg more than he did his head. Knee bent awkwardly on the hit.
