This made me laugh sort of loud for a bit too long

I would have been interested in seeing what Woll could have done tonight.
- Byfuglien Ate Me

Certainly the less terrifying option if only because I’ve never seen him play

riiight

You do your best to make it sound like a surprise and I salute you for that.

Truth is everyone knows your're the numero uno.

Just don't forget my autograph; I expect it to be a goldmine

I’ll send you a Tim’s card 🤣

If the Habs lose to Ottawa again that tag will be placed on his toe at the nearest morgue.

Don't forget about Faksa.

Maybe the media who still gives a damn about this issue won't notice?
- Scabeh

I find that doubtful lol

Honestly, I don't think it will, depending on what you mean by it working.

Top teams have both star talent, and depth. You don't really contend for a cup without either one. Teams that win a cup generally have that, then lose the depth as their solid depth increases in salary. Like LA with their elite core, Kopitar, Doughty , Quick, and loads of depth like Richards, Voynov, Carter, and many more. Chicago, with guys like Kane, Keith, Toews.... And then a supporting cast of Hossa, Sharp, Byfuglien, Shaw, etc, etc..... Then slowly they lost all those names after Toews.

Starting with all kinds of depth but no high end talent, how do you get the elite talent that you need to win?
- prock

Habs are nowhere close to the LA/Chigago teams that won cups. Not until they get alot more from their top young guys. Which might take time.

Then again, not many teams these days are as good as prime Chicago "dynasty".

Don't forget about Faksa.
- gergeswillems

Good catch.

So are your Wings going to sell Bobby Ryan at the deadline? He’d be good for our cup run.

Yes. Probably. He's getting scoring chances but like his teammates Ryan couldn't score if his life depended on it. I agree. He'd be good for a contender's 3rd line.

There are always a few teams as good as those teams. Maybe not for as long as them, but Tampa certainly is right now. Carolina is headed in that direction. They're completely stacked. Colorado is. All 3 have multiple elite players, and very good depth. The question starts to be, who is going to be your Hedman, Point, Kucherov, Stamkos, Aho, Slavin, Pesce, Teuvo, Svech, Makar, Mackinnon, Rantanen Landeskog, etc, etc, etc.

Having some third liners a bit better than those teams third liners isn't going to compensate for these guys taking over games. You can't tire these guys out to the point that Joel Armia will be the one winning a game over Nathan Mackinnon.

I don't get these 5pm games scheduled by the nhl.
It's not like they are playing in a different arena the next day.
- dmnted

They are both in Florida.

5 pm is pretty late in Florida.

Well the strenght of this Habs team is their depth.

They have 4 lines who, when playing the right way, can create offense and are physical enough to tire the other team out.

So yeah, I do think the Habs can do much better with someone who's willing to change what hasn't been working for two years now.

Chantal Machabée said this morning that Ducharme wanted the team to be a more aggressive team willing to play a less defensive style and his ideas were shut down by Julien.

So there you have it. Here's hoping it works.
- Scabeh

God I hope so. There were a few '95 Devils snooze fests so far this year and we play each other like 80 more times in April.

The real reason for the 5 PM start times is so NHL fans in Spain can watch some NHL hockey. They all live in the same house.

50 saves for the shutout + 2 goals and 1 assist.
That's worst case scenario.

I honestly hope this guy turns out to be good. A three point night is expecting a bit much though.

Chill out y'all.

Freddie sucks
Hutch sucks
Woll sucks
Ian Scott doesn't have legs
Leafs are terrible even though they're #1

Only reason the league isn't Montreal's female dog is because of the Toronto situation room
