Player Discussion Tomas Tatar

[Natey]

I'd still play him over Anderson.

Switch back and forth until one of them shows some fire.

 

[Natey]

Who comes out of the lineup for Tatar?

For me it's Byron, if we're struggling to score.

Anderson. He literally does nothing.

 

[Redux91]

Anderson. He literally does nothing.

And Tatar literally does nothing AND is 5"10 and tough as tissue paper

At least Andy has the size and speed, which we WILL need vs Vegas

Not the guy Vegas was scratching from their line up before we were.

Andy has speed? I haven't seen it since game 1 in Toronto. And Anderson is just as soft.

Andy led our team in hits this year.
Romanov 2nd with 1 behind

Tatar not so much

Ya I don't mind that. Anderson has been an absolutel play killer these playoffs.

Other than period 1 of game 1, he's been bad. I wouldnt mind him on the fourth but our fourth line has been fire.

I would also try Tatar with KK and see if it sparks some offence

 

[CoopersFalls]

Yikes. People turning on Anderson quick in this thread. I put Tatar in over Lehkonen, back with his usual linemates.

Anderson stays in my lineup no matter what. He's been snake-bitten or injured, but has all the tools we need. No chemistry with his current linemates though.

How the f*** you put Tatar in over lehkonen...? lehky scored in 2 of the 3 games he played vs the jets, 3 pts in 3 games..

And you want to bring in the loser that's been scratched by both teams in the playoffs..?????

Tatar is an ex-hab, get used to it already

Did you think we hit the 8th world wonder when we traded for Anderson? He's a 40 points player having 1 goal in last 23 games and 1 point also if im not mistaken and he's completely invisible on the ice and is absolutely a brick defensively. But Yeah Tatar over Lekhonen is even more of a joke at this point.

Lekhonen is the type of bottom 6 players you need in a team , Tatar is a complete bust in playoffs which was proven with 3 teams already and 4 years straight.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Tatar is done. He's already played his last game.

The only way he's inserted back in the line-up is if 2 players get injured.

Evans will be replacing an injured player prior to Tatar.

Habs prefer Pizza to Tuna Tatar obviously!

Why the f*** would you take out Lehkonen who has provided the offense on that line?

3 points in his last 3 games, compared to 1 point in 11 games (also a -4 getting easier matchups) for Anderson. What a crock of shit.

On top of that, Anderson has all of 3 points (and -15) in his last 27 games while bringing absolutely nothing else. He's a f***ing terrible hockey player when he puts forward no effort.. which happens in 99% of his games. Lehkonen has 10 points (-2) in his last 27 games against much harder matchups and worse offensive linemates.

There's a reason a team was f***ing THRILLED to get Max Domi back for him.

Anderson's hits are like me breathing on someone this playoffs. He leads the team in hits the playoffs too but has been basically invisible the entire time... so? He loses pretty much every puck battle. He doesn't engage when he should. He floats around. He's the worst defensive forward on the team. But praise him for finishing some checks! Sure worth 5.5 a year!

It's unfortunate because I thought he'd step up his game in the playoffs. Game 1 gave me promise. He could be the best player on the ice every night if he had the effort level of Gallagher, Lehkonen or Byron.

I still think his issue is more hockey sense than effort level. Which is worrisome, given how much and how long we're invested in him.

If he's healthy and can't have an impact in the Vegas series, I think we should move him before it's too late.

Evans is still injured. So next injury, until Evan's gets back, and Tatar's in.

Nope!
Evans is ready to go.

 

[canucklover123]

Evans is ready to go ??

it’s unfortunate cause I don’t think he even gets in the lineup now until we lose

 

[HostileCapSpace]

He's not.

Thank god you're not the coach.

 

[26Mats]

Thank god you're not the coach.

Vegas will be a tough matchup. I'd definitely start with Anderson. It's important to show we won't be be intimidated by their physical game. And h ih s speed will help put them on their heels.

But all lines are playing well now except for than 3rd line. If they continue to struggle, Evan's, Anderson, and Tatar should be in a 4 way fight for the two wing spots next to KK. May whichever 2 make it the best trio win the spots.

 

[Natey]

Thank god you're not the coach.

3 points in 27 games.

3 points.

 

[River Meadow]

3 points.

If you're Vegas, do you prefer to play against buttersoft Tatar, or big, rough and speedy Anderson?

Anderson.

He's stupid defensively. And he barely uses his speed. And he's hardly rough. He finishes his checks, sure. But he shys away from contact that matters.

Tatar is a upcoming UFA who was just benched. He'd be playing for a contract and against the team that traded him.

Do I think Tatar would be world breaking? Hell no. Do I think he'd be better than what Anderson has given us for the past 10 games? Probably.

Vegas is a big strong team.

We need Anderson here.

Let's see what happens after game 1.

Benching a big power forward like Anderson makes no sense to me though... especially for Tatar.

Calling him a power forward makes no sense to me either.

 

[The Great Weal]

He's done as a Hab. Not only would I play Evans ahead of him, but maybe Belzile too. He does nothing and is soft as shit. Bergevin should be offering his rights to a team just in case. Maybe Edmonton would pay like a 4th for him.
