Much like last season, Kapanen continues to struggle at creating chances on offense and preventing on defense. The reality is the Canadiens don't have a 2nd line center for Demidov, but I don't think Kapanen is the correct choice.

It's early, we'll see.

Noah Dobson and Mike Matheson are quietly having a solid start to the season at even strength.

That said, we're also seeing a replica of last season with the Hutson-Guhle pairing. 21 & 48 don't have the best chemistry and should be split, imo.

I thought Noah Dobson couldn’t play defense.

Lane Hutson’s agent Sean Coffey on the contract negotiations with the Habs:

“We were in Detroit, and it was Lane who pushed for it to be concluded…He never wanted to chase every dollar…He loves the fans and his teammates…He didn’t want to become a distraction…”

Lane Hutson (8x8.85m extension with Montreal) is already peforming at a #2 defender level at age 21.

The Lane Hutson deal is absolute sorcery from Kent Hughes. Truly remarkable.

The Canadiens missed a plethora of chances that period. They created a lot but did not execute. Just a matter of time if they keep playing this way.

This team is already so good. This next decade of Habs hockey is going to be the best hockey fans have seen from this team in decades.

The Canadiens weren’t at their best tonight. They left a lot on the table.

That said, when not playing your best still results in slightly outplaying a playoff-bound Leafs team on the road, I think it’s a sign of good things to come. I didn’t mind the loss at all.

Guhle and Hutson doesn’t work. MSL needs to stop trying to make that work. It doesn’t work. They don’t think the game the same way.

Watching Team USA get TRUMPED by Team Europe after groveling at Trump’s feet has been incredibly satisfying to watch. What a massacre.

Anže Kopitar says he's gonna retire after this season. You can see why, I guess; but also as a stats nerd I feel like even the years of "he's better than you think he is" bludgeoning didn't quite give us the message. He is/was VERY good for a VERY long time.

Fantastic showing from Demidov, and it’s not surprising at all.

I am more excited for this group than I have been for any Habs team in this millennium. And it’s not just the talent — this team works their tail off. They want to be out there practicing and getting better together.

My story on Ivan Demidov putting on a show with a goal and two assists last night as Canadiens lost 4-3 to Winnipeg Jets in Prospect Showdown game at sold-out Bell Centre. The prospect pool is no longer empty for #Habs led by the Russian teenager: www.montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...
