Been watching the Habs since the late 60’s and seen, like you Jack, some great players. Don’t think you need too many fingers to count on how many can pick the smallest hole like CC can on pretty regular basis

Brian, do you think it will be a straight change Danault for Veleno or could we see some major changes. Danault centering Demi and Kap, Slaf back on the top line and Bolduc moved to the third with Texier and Beck, Evans with Andy and Galley. Some off wingers there but we don’t have many RW right now

Hindsight always 20/20 but we had be moving the ball all day on them and really didn’t need to make that call.

Fair enough, thought it was just this game you may have been referring to

I get the corsi but that line is even in a game they are down by 3 A soccer coach once said “ statistics are like mini skirts, they give you good ideas but hide the important things”. So not sure all those myriad of statistics tell the story

Hoping for the best for Slaf but respectfully that is exactly what you should be hoping for from a #1 overall draft pick

As you said, players in the right seat. So why bring up two offensive types and put them on the third/fourth lines. Wouldn’t it make sense to bring up players that actually used to playing in those seats? Not a criticism of Roy and Davidson at all though

By the end of the year Slaf will have played 282 games. I think he should be in the 70 pt range
I believe they picked him thinking he would be similar to a Philly Leclair.
If he doesn’t get there I wouldn’t call him a bust but will he go down as another Hab high pick that didn’t meet expectations ?

It was funny and what would have made it even better, with all Sanders ego and self promotion, would have been if he dropped to Mr Irrelevant

The refs were letting things go against the Caps like Kash Patel was back in the crowd and would deport them if they gave the Habs an advantage

Big day overall for the Habs. You have written alot about the need for a 2C. Not thinking about trades and obviously lots going on with the Slaf/Dach draft year. Hindsight always 20/20 but would Shane Wright have filled that 2C spot? He is a plus player on a minus team seems like a good fit.

Another great read Brian and respect to Suzy and Lane but if Monty isnt playing at a 923 clip the last 4 not sure we are winning them. He is a career 901 with the Habs, IMHO not enough for a cup going forward, do you think Fowler can play at least a 910/915 level over the next few years?

Gretzky sitting beside Kash Patel, another of Trump’s lackeys, is really over the top and just shoving it in our faces

Jack this year we could have our first 40 goal scorer since 94 and first PPG player since 08
Most teams have had one of those
Based the old history of offensive talent why haven’t we had either since.
Is it poor scouting or poor development
We couldn’t even get lucky with a late pick like a Datsyuk

Brian,regards to the PP. PL made a difference.The last 4 games its been 2/12. LH makes a difference but teams dont respect his shot and try to take away his passes to the wing. Don’t think he needs a Weber/PK bomb but feel he needs to work on that aspect to give teams something else to think about

Avs goal - Rantanen, Assts-MacKinnon, Makar
Habs goal- Caufield, Assts- Suzuki, Hutson.
Omen for the future in points for 3 of our best players?
