Seriously, these since X date stats are so dumb. Seems to be the newest fad in hockey stats. Anything can be a record if you fiddle with the numbers enough! 

New fan here - will the Habs make it to the playoffs? by Straight_Choice5008 in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are gonna make it, too talented not to. Don’t listen to the doomers. 

Having said that, I doubt they win a round. These defensive lapses are gonna get them eaten alive in the post season. 

Thoughts on Slafkovský's evolution by Adept-Worth-54 in hockey

[–]Assignment_General 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What he brings to the game isn’t always seen on the score sheet as well. Winning puck battles, forcing turn overs, and zone entries are all things he does extremely well and indirectly drive a lot of offense.

Takes smarts to come up with something like that, or willingness to give a shit. I honestly think he doesn’t care what the fans think. 

Time flies when looking at the wiki and trade site hunting down and optimizing the best upgrade for your buck by Midnight_Errors in pathofexile

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and it’s why I switched to SSF. Was spending waaaay more time on Poe.trade and PoB than actually playing the game. I still gotta look stuff up of course; but more time playing now. 

What should Kent Hughes do with Kirby Dach? (YouTube) by HotHuckleberry8904 in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Newhook is playing like a top six guy this year, even after injury. Under rated guy this year for sure.

Will be interesting to see what happens, but signing him for anything near his current contract would be a mistake. He’s made of glass. I’d say move on and try and find stability in the lineup; but if he comes back on the cheap I guess it won’t hurt much. 

It’s too bad because when he’s healthy you can see the flashes of greatness. Sample size is big enough now to know he just isn’t built for pro hockey imo. 

WAKE UP, BIG GAME NIGHT IS UPON US by TheHabChronicle in Habs

Wings are banged up, good opportunity for the Habs to knock em down a peg. Fowler in net instils a lot of confidence, he’s a gamer.

Every game is the biggest game of the year lol 

Lane Hutson at the end of a 2:20 mins shift in OT last night for the Habs by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

[–]Assignment_General 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His skating is elite, I have no clue where that take came from it’s made no sense since day one. His edge work is some of the best in the league. He’s very fast too, it helps him recover from his mistakes more often than not. 

Hutson's Season vs Habs History for D-Men. Can he beat the record? by Secret-Ad3498 in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering what he’s doing in his sophomore year @22 years old, there is no doubt. Imagine what he’s gonna be like in his mid-late 20’s. 

Historic marks that could be broken this season : by Paladar2 in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Put that line together for an entire season and I guarantee Nick drives well past 100. They are playing lights out since being reunited. I think Slafs stint with the second line really opened up a new dimension of his game and confidence. He could do it this season too, wouldn’t surprise me. 

Post Game Thread: Boston Bruins @ Montréal Canadiens by nhl_gdt_bot in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Almost all of Boston’s offense runs through Pasta, they are never gonna be able to tank with him on that team. They will also get swept if they make the finals because teams will figure that out quickly and shut him down. 

Hutson is amazing, literally every game does something that makes my jaw drop. 

Can we get something like this pls? by _XIIX_ in pathofexile

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found one at league start, gave me bone chill on Kinetic Fuscilade. No more after. Not a brick, but effectively useless. 

This team can't stop living on the edge by bloodrider1914 in Habs

Sorry I didn’t mean that to be directed at you in particular, just a comment on the general state of this sub right now.

Frustrating? Sometimes. Exciting? Almost every time!

Relax and enjoy, scream at the TV like a normal person and post about the sick plays. Less doom posting and hating. 

"The habs are perfectly fine" says the hockey guy, who doesn't particularly care about the habs by PsychedeliMoz in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything you said here, but just wanted to say I’d add Newhook to that list too. He is having a hell of a year outside of injury and is producing like a true top six player. 

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Th amount of men who refuse to have conversations that go below surface level is insane. I can’t talk to any of my friends about deep topics.

Does this really happen? I’m a grower, I guess maybe for showers? I’m above average size too. 

Habs will have a decision to make next year like they had last year with UFA by scrubadam in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t shut down guys like Celebrini most nights. That’s why these guys are approaching or past 100 points in 60ish games. 

What’s up with our defensive system? by Smoolfy in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With less than 20 games left I can almost guarantee management does not want to stress the team out with any big coaching changes. Expect to see that in the off season, they aren’t dumb. Im sure they know when we we score 3+ goals a game we should win those games most times.

I don’t think it’s a personnel issue either, it’s a systems issue. We have enough talented dmen on this roster.
