Pre-Game Talk: Pens @ Habs Saturday Night

[groovejuice]

Maybe not, but Domi has played really well at Center so far.

He's looked okay. Forcing wingers to centre because we cannot land legit NHL centres is one of the dubious legacies of Bergevin.

 

[groovejuice]

You are good with recipes. Is the same one going to work twice against the Pens?

I'm not betting on it. You can be tricked by having the liver disguised with a heap of mashed potatoes, but it only works once.

I found him ineffective against those big Kings forwards. I mean Kempe was eating us alive you'd think it would be Kopitar.

Hey I like liver when it's smothered with BACON.

I love liver as long as it's not overcooked. It goes from delicious to inedible in a minute.

Will Drouin ever find chemistry with anyone? He is becoming an enigma.
He struggled at center and that’s understandable but he actually looks worse on the wing.

I hope it worked with Domi but i'm not sure it will.....but nevermind the linesmate, he should still be producing on the PP. It should be his bread and butter even if he have trouble finding chemistry at 5-on-5. Hope Julien switch his PP units cause the first wave looks terrible in every single shift they got.

 

[peate]

Drouin is Pacioretty Lite.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Peca and Armia should both be eating hot dogs , add scherbak and de la rose when hes rdy

 

[TannedBum]

Get Armia away from Kotka.

He can't finish plays.

Kotka could've had 3-4 assists so far.

Get Armia away from Kotka and there's no plays to finish.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Our 5th line looks pretty decent

Armia by far the most effective player along with Kotka last night. Open your eyes dude.

 

[Deebs]

I think we'll see Domi and Drouin recreate the chemistry they had in the couple of preseason games they had together.

If that doesn't get Drouin going I don't know what will.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Kotka has shown he can create his own plays.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would like to see Lehkonen and Kotka together. They scored several pts together in preseason

 

[417]

Kotka has shown he can create his own plays.

Watch this sequence carefully.

Kotkaniemi has had ZERO issues creating plays...

Finding players who can finish those plays, is another story....

Edit: I'm so sorry, for some reason I thought you said that he's shown he "can't" create his own plays.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Armia by far the most effective player along with Kotka last night. Open your eyes dude.

25 year olds 20 points scorer
effective

pick1

dude cant finish anything

 

[Milhouse40]

They played one period together in preseason.....

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I think Domi is perfect for Drouin. Excited to see them together. I’d put Gallagher with them though and then have an all Finn line.

Drouin-Domi-Gallagher
Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Armia
Tatar-Danault-Hudon
Byron-Plekanec-Shaw.

 

[Forum93]

I think Habs bounce back in this one, Drouin scores his first....

 

[Tyson]

Man I hope Drouin has a 50 point plus season.

 

[OldCraig71]

Danault should be on the 3rd line.

Danault and Armia should never be above the 3rd line.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Armia by far the most effective player along with Kotka last night. Open your eyes dude.

I don’t know what you are seeing but Armia is killing to many plays with his low hockey IQ.

Kotka should be playing with our best wingers, I knew this would happen..

If kotka is not gonna be played with legit top 6 NHL players than send him back to Finland or Laval and let’s get back to tanking.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Danault and Armia should never be above the 3rd line.

NEVER

Let’s see how many games it takes Claude to figure out that he needs to play with Gally.

Tatar-Kotka-Gally
Drouin-Kotka-Gally
Lehky-Kotka-Gally

And let’s see how long it takes him to see that Reilly needs to be on the 1st PP as well
