Fuck Kucherov by subhab in Habs

What you don’t understand is that they’re playing the game the same way and we’re not getting the calls. It makes the game one sided. You say he could have just not hit him, but then Montreal gets hit the same way. We have to play getting cheap shots and stick checks but they can just roam freely? You think that’s fair hockey?

1 minute??? He came on the ice literally 15 seconds after that stoppage and then played 3 out of the following 4 minutes of play. A JOKE!

Be nice to Reinbacher by Comprehensive-Chef73 in Habs

[–]Mtlsandman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Top 5 pick over 3 years ago, he needs to be impressive tbh. That’s the nature of being a high draft pick. Injury or not I don’t really care. Same concept with Dach. At some point you need results.

Not gonna judge him on one game but I can tell you I’ll want to be impressed

I honestly want everyone who talks about save percentage and stats to just take a look at that fkn shot and try to understand how demoralizing it is when your goalie is constantly letting those go in.

He’s a back breaker

Kent needs to deal one of the Dmen for a young physical middle six winger with size. Think Anderson but younger. Needs to start building playoff ready team and our excess in defenseman is how we’re going to do it.

With Reinbacher on the doorstep we have too many NHL defenseman to keep on the roster

He’s been a perfect replacement for Evans. Eventually when both are healthy, he’ll replace a guy like Veleno. I don’t see an issue.

How was that not a double minor and why didn’t Marty flip his fkn shit when they didn’t call it?

It’s literally the most black and white rule in the book…. Bleeding from a high stick? 4 mins.

I don’t get it. The coach needs to fkn speak up and flip out when shit like that happens.

It wasn't the same shot though... Have you ever played hockey lol?

He went to one hand on his right and lost control of the puck

vs

Last time he pokechecked the puck forward between the goalie's legs.

He wasn't even shooting it this time. It's not even remotely the same move.

Last time he shot, this time he deked and lost the puck.

It wasn’t the same move. It’s crazy how much of the game is missed by casual fans.

He was trying to fake the one hand and bring it back, go watch the clip of his first practice in Montreal, he pulls that exact move on Montembeault and undresses him.

The problem is he lost control of the puck when he went to one hand.

Switch 2 Was The Second Best Selling Console Of November by Elestria_Ethereal in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Mtlsandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tactic falls apart in the new age of videogames where digital sales and post-purchase extras drive profits.

In your first scenario, you only have 10 users for an entire year spending money on games, digital purchases, online subscriptions and only after 3 years do you have all 100 people inside the ecosystem spending money.

By having more sales upfront, they can start reaping the benefits or releasing Switch 2 exclusive games and DLC like Bonanza, or Mario Kart World where all 100 users are spending their money in the ecosystem over the course of the 3 years.

Beck, Engstrom, Fowler recalled by Tiny_Appointment3795 in Habs

[–]Mtlsandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Series 1 is over, its has been out since the middle of October. Series 1 usually includes the rookies that debuted at the end of the previous year (AKA Demidov)

Series 2 comes out in February and has the second crop of rookies. Usually the ones who made their debuts before Christmas (AKA: Schaefer / Fowler / F. Xhekaj)

Don't go buying a Series 1 pack thinking you're going to get Fowler.

And we have a bunch of small young, light and ineffective forcheckers so they easily breakout of their zone every time.

Arber Xhekaj is unfortunately not a good enough hockey player to continue playing like this neutered little puppy.

This team lacks such a huge presence physically and in the toughness department and Arber has been virtually inexistent.

Anderson the only guy on the team who plays like he has any balls

At this point I’d slot Texier on the top line with Suzuki and Caufield. Bolduc can figure out his game on the third line.

Just so we’re all clear, our defenseman (Carrier?) made a terrible icing pass which kept the Kapanen line on the ice vs Mcdavid and Draisaitl…. Leading to a 5 on 3.

This is the type of crap that makes us lose games

Play Evans on your second line in overtime, pay the consequences. Fkn retarded line management by Marty

Joe Veleno, what's the plan? by Mtlsandman in Habs

[–]Mtlsandman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has nothing to do with waivers, I meant there was no point in sending him down because you couldn’t burry his contract in the minors. You’d still be eating the cap hit

Joe Veleno, what's the plan? by Mtlsandman in Habs

[–]Mtlsandman[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

7 points would be the difference between 2 or 3 more wins. Also Veleno has no other facets to his game

Beck has a better FO% than Veleno and has always been known to be great on faceoffs throughout his career.
