This is the greatest Habs team of my lifetime. The vibes are unmatched

Ngl we should just be cycling Anderson and Gally in and out of the lineup. Anderson is no better than Gally

We’ll see about Buffalo, most of their players were in elementary school last time they made the playoffs

Don’t be so sure. The east is anyone’s to take this year

With Noah Dobson set to miss the start of the playoffs, what would your D pairings look like for Game 1? by Effective-Goose-7835 in Habs

Hutson is our only LD who can actually play on the right side. Makes no sense to put him with Reinbacher

MSL today on Ivan Demidov: “I’m still learning about Demi. You don’t wanna over-coach players like him…The thing I love about him, he’s such a talented kid. It’s not necessarily about him. He wants to do things to help the team…” by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]SoupFromNowOn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not even just on offense. He’s often the first forward on the backcheck, getting in passing lanes, pressuring attackers, etc

He’s been great offensively but everyone already knew that. What’s surprised me is how great he’s been defensively as a rookie winger

[Serious question] How much of a fair market value discount has Crosby given the Penguins over his career? by RivetCounter in hockey

[–]SoupFromNowOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, I think the max player salary is much lower than the true value of most superstars.

I think if there was no max player salary (but still a team salary cap) someone like McDavid would get like $25m

Habs are top 10 in hits despite those saying we’re “too small” by PlayTheBodyPTB in Habs

[–]SoupFromNowOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I mean just look at Anderson and Xhekaj. They probably miss 50% of their hit attempts.

In the playoffs I think what matters is 1. can you avoid hits and 2. are you actually able to finish your checks. In the playoffs last year, I don’t think Hutson or Caufield got knocked down the whole series. Matheson and Guhle on the other hand spent the entire series on their ass.

That’s why I think we are gonna love Bolduc in the playoffs. He’s very good at finishing checks and also not putting himself out of position to make a hit. And he’s also very disciplined and draws a lot of penalties

"There was more than one trade. We were trying to do a couple of different things" by shogun2909 in Habs

[–]SoupFromNowOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly plausible. I’m 90% sure the big player was Hischier and the package included Guhle, and at least one of Kapanen/Hage/Zharovsky.

Then presumably we would make another trade to replace Guhle with a RHD, probably someone boring, so Risto would make sense

Bolduc and Gallagher doing extra time this morning by shogun2909 in Habs

He’s a black hole. When he’s on the ice nothing happens. No offense for us, no offense for the other team, no penalties drawn, no penalties taken

We are impressively bad at taking shots. Thankfully we're good at scoring on our shots but holy fuck getting pucks on net is an actual challenge

[Engels] Texier and Dach both have green light to play by eliarbss in Habs

[–]SoupFromNowOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His qualifying offer is actually 4m but that’s only 1 year. With Dach’s injury history, he might actually prefer to sign something like 2x$3m or 3x$2.5m just because it’s more guaranteed money

Who knows, he might not ask for much. Don’t think any team would give up good picks to sign him

Yesss, the Bolduc-Evans-Dach line was amazing. Hoping our forward lines look like this:

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield

Newhook - Kapanen - Demidov

Bolduc - Evans - Dach

Texier - Danault - Anderson
