Another awesome article, Jack. I'm really loving the positive vibes from your prose lately. But I'm worried that the #Habs will have to let some good prospects and/or players go because there's not enough room for everyone. Anyway, have a great weekend!

Everything is speculation, obviously. Nobody knows what might or will happen. It wouldn't surprise me if Dach stays healthy all year and becomes a point per game player. It wouldn't surprise me if Laine scores 40-50 goals. It wouldn't surprise me if Demidov wins the Calder.

I'd rather be optimistic and hope to see Dach become a hybrid of Pete Mahovlich and Bobby Smith! Wouldn't that be awesome?!
Then before the TD, the #Habs acquire Syd the Kid or McTavish!

I think that the #Habs would be OK with that right now. But if that's his ceiling, he won't be on the 2nd line and probably not on this team. I hate to be critical, but this is the #NHL and the #Habs are going to be scary!
#GoHabsGo

I hope Dach can stay healthy and reach his ceiling, but we may never see him reach his full potential.
You can have all the skill in the world, but if you're only going to play 30 or 40 games a year......
#GoHabsGo #Habs #NHL

Well, the #Habs have Dach in the prime, perfect spot to succeed. I mean, I could probably score 80 pts. with Demidov and Laine on my wings! Not really, but you get my point.
This is Dach's last chance. He needs to try giving 110% and see where that goes.
#GoHabsGo #NHL

Good point. I was just throwing it out there, wanting to hear other #Habs fans' thoughts. I'm very excited and can't wait to see what this team can do. It's going to be a fun ride!
#GoHabsGo #NHL

I get what you're saying. In a perfect world, having patience and waiting for more and better options makes perfect sense. But the #Habs expect to make the playoffs, and if they start falling back...
But I believe Dach will finally play like a 3rd overall pick and be lights out!

How is Kahkonen inferior to Dobĕs? The few games that I've seen Kaapo play, to me, he looks like an #NHL goalie. I'm not giving up on Dobĕs. I'd prefer Dobĕs as the #Habs backup because he's a #Montreal #Canadien. Whereas Kahkonen is a journeyman goalie.
#GoHabsGo

Yes, my thinking is, if you consider Dobes' play after his first 10 - 12 games, at times, he looked somewhat in over his head. I don't mean to be critical, but I calls em like I sees em.

Thanks for the update. I'm a bit surprised that he's in Laval. I assume he's practicing with the #GoRocket ?
#GoHabsGo #Habs

You got that right! I hate to complain but these Refs are ruining the integrity of the game. And they're taking some of the fun and excitement out of the game because fans are too pissed off to enjoy it. Just my 2 cents.

That's awesome! I was probably just starting my potty training when Dryden took over the '70s. But I remember his last couple of years. He and Lafleur were my first hockey heroes.
#GoHabsGo #Habs

Wouldn't it be crazy though? I'm kidding of course. But you know, Dryden came out of nowhere, remember Steve Penney? And Patrick Roy was a nobody until the '86 playoffs! It's like a #Habs tradition!
#GoHabsGo

Hey Jack, how about we call Jacob Fowler up and pull a Ken Dryden out of a hat!!
#GoHabsGo #Habs #NHL #CH

Thanks for putting things in the proper perspective, Jack. You're the voice of reason in the #Habs roller-coaster season.
#GoHabsGo #NHL

How cool will it be to finally have a Calder Trophy after all these years! And it couldn't happen to a nicer kid, humble, heart of a lion!
