Pre-Game Talk: Maple Leafs @ Canadiens FEB 20th 7pm EST

[BigDaddyLurch]

Not saying that all these guys have been terrible.

Drouin is still playing well.
Weber's been mostly good.
KK's been better than last year.
Armia has been pretty good when healthy.
Evans has been very good.
Kulak was pretty good before this rough stretch.
Price hasn't been Price great but still good.

I was just pointing out that 20 points is pretty considering those ugly stats.

Drouin is Drouin, although he has been more engaged this year, which is a bonus...
Weber has been terrible...but playing with Chairot must be infuriating...
Kotkaniemi has actually been progressing well and takes faaaar too much crap from this fanbase...
Armia, again, is Armia...good 3rd liner, plain and simple...
Evans has been much better than expected and is playing his way up the lineup, imo...
Kulak is...uh, well...he's there...
Price has been steady behind a pretty shyte-awful D...you want $10 mill Price, get Clod to fix the D...

...and Danault has been...basically a shyte show all his own night in and night out...and yet Clod rewards him...

that's a new low even for you....

Had high hopes for the kid here...that pic really hurts me...

 

[Treb]

Not quite...

Montréal Canadiens Stats | 2020-2021

Toffoli, Anderson, Petry and Gallagher combine for 50% of the team goals.

 

[Big Lurk]

Before the season started, if someone told you this about the Habs, 15 games into the season....

Drouin = 1 goal
Tatar = healthy scratch become of poor play
Weber = minus 2
KK = 1 goal
Danault = o goals and struggling badly
Armia = injured
Byron = 0 goals and sent to taxi squad
Evans = 0 assists
Kulak = healthy scratch in favour of Mete
Petry = leading team in scoring
Price = .901 SV%

How much hope would you have had for 20 points and second in the division?

So basically, we're back to a one 2nd line and 3x 3rd lines is what you're saying?

Tatar or Drouin for D'Angelo, would you do it?

Ok... I don't get this one...

 

[angusyoung]

If he couldn't do it with Crosby and Malkin, chances are he won't be any better in Toronto.

I get that he couldn't do it in Pittsburgh with Crosby and Malkin, but I like his odds in TO

It looks like it. I don't see effects of the depp since the defensive side of the game is crap from both defense and forwards. So basically should any of the Toffoli, Anderson or Petry stop putting points up, Habs are doomed. Where's the improvement?

NO

Who would he even replace in TO lineup?

What about Byron + more salary for D'Angelo?

I think still no, because MB is careful about what personalities he brings into the room.

 

[The Real Timo]

Tatar or Drouin for D'Angelo, would you do it?

No one would take Drouin for free, let alone for another player, however bad in the room he is. Besides, Bergevin doesn't like bad in the room characters. He only wants the good in the room.

 

[angusyoung]

Who would he even replace in TO lineup?

Vesey has been shitty.

We have scored 50 goals so far this season and the three guys I mentioned have 25 of those. We need more from the rest of this lineup especially now that opposing teams have figured us out.

Actually its 62%.

 

[Tyson]

Saw a news item about people burning their furniture in the fireplace. Another, dismantled his wooden fence and lit it in his fireplace. When you have no choice, well, you do what you have to do. Some people unfortunately died due to carbon monoxide poisoning and other causes.

Good to hear you've had power overnight and that it's looking promising going forward.

Today I drove about 5 miles to the center of our small town. I was going to the grocery store to grab a supply or two. While I was pulling into the parking lot I saw a couple walking with groceries in this cold weather. I pulled up and asked how far they were walking and the guy said "3 miles". I of course loaded them up and drove them home. They lived in an area that prohibited them from safely driving out of their hilly neighborhood. Folks did not plan for this because no one thought Texas of all places would get hammered like this.

Thank God for large 4X4 Pick up trucks...I can drive any damn where

 

[Tyson]

German cars are so much more fun to drive with a manual transmission. That was the main point I was trying to make. Happy hunting.

I won't even tell you what fun car I own...

Why not? You have us wondering now.

I turned 60 recently and thought that I deserved a cool gift for myself.
Most old timers buy cool looking Vets but I went muscle car-

Why soooo long.

Anything to watch tonight with any Habs' prospect?
Most likely, no.
