Smurf days are long gone. I thought it was funny the other day reading how we were the softest team going into the playoffs...

We're not a bunch of bruisers by any stretch but this team can't be pushed around the way it used to. We can play pretty physically actually.

 

[JayKing]

Gionta and Gorges got replaced.

 

[AllanMTL46]

Gionta and Gorges got replaced.

Plus guys like Brière and Diaz.

 

[Hannibal]

Still need DD and PaP to be replace.

 

[JayKing]

Plus guys like Brière and Diaz.

and Bouillon.


Bouillon/Diaz -> Beaulieu/Gilbert

Gorges -> Petry

Gionta -> DSP

Briere -> Parenteau/de la Rose


Bournival is also a guy under 6 foot that hasn't been in the lineup for a while.

 

[Sterling Archer]

There's a micro fracture joke here somewhere, I just know it!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Gallagher can stay.

Might I say, this team looks really big.

It's a real... pleasure to watch them.

We'll see how long it lasts. The team seems a lot more entertaining than the regular season version, but it could just be the crowd is actually involved in games now and we're facing a team we dislike. Will a series vs Detroit really be that interesting?

Our "biggest" player is Carey Price at 6'3.

That should tell you something.

Yes because it doesn't matter we would be 4 wins away from the ECF again. I'd be just as pumped.

Too be fair we have a lot of thick guys. Subban and DSP in particular are probably the heaviest players in the league at their height. If we replaced DD/PAP with a couple bigger guys with skill we'd have a pretty great league wide lineup. Perhaps Scherbak and McCarron. Then it wouldn't be as big a deal to insert a guy like Ghetto or Hudon into the lineup.

Or Petry, also 6'3". Neither distribute that many hits, though.

4 is 2 too many. IMO

His emphasis on Big and Pleasure makes me wonder.....

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

You mean Petry who has 9 hits in two playoff games?

 

[Andrei79]

Our "biggest" player is Carey Price at 6'3.

That should tell you something.

And that is what, aside from meaning Price is tall?

 

[Phil Parent]

Very gradually, but it's very obvious now.

My bad. I thought the habs website had him at 6'2. Pateryn has been listed at 6'3.

And that is what, aside from meaning Price is tall?

Our team goes from 5'7 - 6'2, while most teams don't have has many midgets as us and usually their midgets throw body checks.

Weaver is out. Mitchell is likely gone. Desharnais is hopefully gone.

Plekanec and Gallagher as the only smaller players isn't bad.

Avg weight and height for every team

As per opening night. Add the guys we have and it goes up

Weaver was on our opening night roster. Kind of makes it lower than it is.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

With Weaver, Cube and Diaz gone, our D has gotten a lot bigger. We simply don't get pushed around below our goal line like we used to.

With the additions of DSP, DLR we've added more size upfront.

The only players under 6 feet in our line-up now are Mitchell, Pleks, Gally and DD.

We are slowly getting there...

 

[c3z4r]

Our "biggest" player is Carey Price at 6'3.

That should tell you something.

Jacob de la Rose and Petry are both listed at 6'3".

Then we have Eller, Malhotra, Pacioretty, Weise, Beaulieu, Emelin, Gilbert, Gonchar and Pateryn all at 6'2"

Gally

If only Gallys emotional height was factored in.
