Pre-Game Talk: Monahan-less Habs vs Caps

[Team_Spirit]

Gignac must be happy good for him.

Evans 2nd line omg, even Gustavo Lindstrom had more goals in like 5 weeks worth of games. Buckle up

 

[schwang26]

They’d better get a top 3 pick this year!

Minus Monahan it is a very real possibility

 

[The Real Timo]

You're right. This crappy roster is going to lose alot of games, and it's going to be msl's fault for not making chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Yes

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Thinking MSL needs to stop using Gallagher so much.................might help some of us think he is actually developing his kids, and not his vets! Gally and Armia are two I want to see on the 4th line in terms of usage....
Let the kids loose!! Bench the useless vets.

For the record I like MSL..............but some of his decisions, leave me confused as to what he is thinking.....up front and on D.

Agreed. Can't understand the benefit of playing Gallagher anywhere but the 4th line. No one is going to trade for him. 4th line or press box until they can buy him out.

Minus Monahan it is a very real possibility

This better be the last season team sucks so bad.

 

[The Great Weal]

Lineup with Monahan wasn't great, but now it's downright ugly. I believe Gignac is staying up.

I guess:

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Pearson-Evans-Anderson
RHP-Gignac-Armia
Pezzetta-Condotta-Ylonen

Suspended: Gallagher
IR: Newhook, Dach, Dvorak

That is the worst bottom 6 I have ever seen but you just know they will be lights out. Wonder if they will break up that top line when Newhook is back given that Newhook and Anderson were a complete gong show together, but also Slaf needs to progress.

Yeah I am over this putrid on ice product

 

[Price is Wright]

Any word on if Gignac is playing?

True. I feel bad for Sammy though. I want him to do well.

 

[SwiftyHab]

We don’t tank with hungry AHL’ers. Hughes needs to trade for some cap dumps for jaded vets.

 

[The Great Weal]

Poor Suzuki. Everyone went to Mexico while he continued playing hockey and now will play like 25 minutes a game until the rest of the season.

 

[Pazucha]

Training footage popped on my twitter feed and it looks like Anderson, newhook, cole, Evans, slaf wear red jersey so it's impossible to figure out the new lines

But it probably shows that Evans is C and newhook not

 

[vokiel]

Poor Suzuki. Everyone went to Mexico while he continued playing hockey and now will play like 25 minutes a game until the rest of the season.

Nah, it's a tank, he'll play to avoid injuries

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Road to the bottom.

 

[holy]

I predict Monahan surprises us all by being in our line up and we keep trading him for first round picks until the end of time.

 

[The Real Timo]

I wouldn’t call Suzuki poor. 25 minutes of hockey approx 3 times a week for 8 mil a year with no playoffs is not a bad deal. I’d take it.

I hope to see some progress from Alex Newhook once he gets back.

Caufield with 35 goals
Suzuki with 75pts +
Guhle solidifying his potential
Struble trending up
X showing he belongs
Slaf hitting the 40pt mark
Habs finishing with the 5th pick

That’s my wish list right there!!

Agreed %

 

[Habs13]

We could go with the "try to maximize their trade value lineup"

RHP - Suzuki - Anderson
Caufield - Newhook - Pearson
Slaf - Evans - Armia
Pez - Condotta - Ylonen

What did Slafkovsky do to you to deserve such hate!

 

[Nicko999]

This better be the last season team sucks so bad.

We are looking until at least 2026-2027 before the team starts improving. What kind of players will start making a difference next year? The forward core will still suck. Only addition might be Roy.

Dach will be back but I am expecting him to be injured again at some point (sry I know it's rough but wish him the best and hopefully I'm being proved wrong).

Slaf should continue his progression next season but it wouldn't be enough to tip the scale in our favor. Especially considering our direct tanking competitors will get better than us.

This is depressing.
