Go Habs Go!

...repos bien mérité jusqu'à Samedi.

C’est un peu bizarre d’avoir autant de jours de congés entre deux matchs. Mais bon, ça va permettre à Hutson de pratiquer ses lancers qui, de son propre aveu, ne sont pas assez puissants pour la LNH! Il est évident que le kid doit lancer plus souvent, il a la mobilité pour se positionner sur la patinoire mais on voit bien qu’il n’a pas confiance en ses moyens, il cherche toujours la passe parfaite.

Xhekaj a joué 17 minutes, un sommet personnel! Résultat: 3 tirs au but, 4 mises en échec pour 1 revirement. Il doit en retirer une centaine fierté, je suis sûr que Saint-Louis l’a remarqué.

Nice & surprising win by the habs. The Oilers are a bad team & the Habs faced them at the perfect time. When only two players (McDavid & Draisaitl) come to play every night it’s hard to win games. I would be very surprised if they can beat the Sens tonight.

...and what about HYMAN?????....méconnaissable.....surévalué?????

Hyman est certe une grosse déception mais il fait parti d’un ensemble de déceptions à Edmonton

 

[gaby]

Oui une grosse déception et un gros trou dans l'alignement....en 2023-204.....54 buts 24 ass/ 77 pts......cette année/ quart de la saison/ 3 buts 5 ass/ 8pts......ça en dit beaucoup.....et bien sûr SKINNER pas fort fort....lol.

Non il n’est pas surevalue. Il a 32 ans. Il est dans l’age du declin. Last season was a fluke! La seul raison que Toronto l’ont pas re-signes est parce Edmonton lui offrait 7 ans de contrat jusqu’en 2028 lorsqu’il aura 36 ans. Considerant son style robuste il qu’il etait le genre a se blesser a toutes les ans en plus d’avoir deja subi deux interventions surgicales a ses genous les Leafs avec raison figuraient que ses belles annees s’approachaient. Mais Hyman en a surpris plusieurs en ayant une saison de 54 buts a l’age de 31 ans et il faisait bien paraitre son acquisition. Mais il est dans le declin et sous contrat encore pour 4 ans! Ayoye!

Patrick Laine has been practicing every day with the team & looking better every practice! I have a feeling he might play one of the back to backs next week. Fan favorite RHP should also be back next week after hos current stint with Laval.

So far, his team practice are only around 10 minutes. He skates alone and handles some pucks for about 20 minutes before joining the boys. Not sure if he is that close to a game return.

Talking of LAVAL....they are on fire this year sous la direction de VINCENT.....and DOBES is hot.....

Laval does indeed have a very good team. The players there are very fortunate to be coached by a real NHL coach with decades of competitive coaching experience. The most qualified coach in the entire organization.

They lost their last two but both games were very close & the Rocket could have won both. I liked Hughes’ game last night. He’s a good veteran goalie to support Dobes.

Alors on reprend le collier ce soir vs VEGAS qui jouera un 3ème match en 4 soirs.....faudrait en profiter...lol.....nos gars seront bien reposé..... svp pas trop de temps pour se dégourdir les jambes....lol....enjoy.

Dach needs to be downgraded somehow, Laval?.... for the rest there needs to be leadership... I really love Suzuki, I do... but do we need another leader?

One word: disaster

I gave up with 5 minutes left in the second period!

Dach needs to be benched instead of constantly being rewarded with PP time. Putting him in the press box for a few games wouldn’t hurt. I believe he’d have to clear waivers in order to be sent to Laval so that’s a non-starter.

As for Suzuki i’ve never seen him as a leader. He looks too quiet to be a leader & doesn’t seem to like being in front of the cameras. Personally i would have given the captaincy to someone like Gallagher or maybe David Savard. Sure Savard is probably gone by the end of this season however they could have given him the ‘C’ two years ago & give it to someone else next season or so.

The 2nd period was indeed a disaster. After two periods the Habs had only 8 shots on goal. Hard to win games or be competitive when you barely get any shots at the opposing goalie.

I’m surprised anyone would pay more than $100 to attend this game in person. As if the habs had any chance against a team as good as Vegas! Anyways as long as fans continue attending games & spending their hard- earned money on expensive beer & overpriced crappy junk food then upper management will be in no rush to make the necessary changes.

If i were a local hockey fan i’d save my money & spend it instead to watch the Rocket,, who are playing great inspiring hockey in one of the AHL’s most beautiful arenas.
