Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Michkov looks tired and like he’s hit a bit of a wall. The NHL schedule is a grind, especially if you’re not used to it, like him. He’ll be fine.

tired after 35 games? that is pussy territory

Everyone knows you should take it easy the first 35 games of the season. Ask Slaf!

 

[Habsy]

No.

Still pissed about the German in him?

 

[Habsy]

He’s gone from being a projected top pairing Right D to “hopefully” top 4 Right D. Not looking too good.

Says who?

 

[Habsy]

Worm and me.

 

[Habsy]

Slaf is on pace for 52 points. Same as last year. There's no regression yet. Hopefully he makes incremental improvements the second half of the season.

Bashing an injured Reinbacher, pissing on Slafkovsky for a slow start, you guys are funny. Just not in a humorous way.

After making mucho progress last year, Slaf has mostly sucked. Getting secondary assists on power plays doesn’t cut the mustard for me.

 

[Habsy]

Not his fault the way the game is scored. He was also dicked around line wise for two months. He'll be fine.

You guys are just whining for the sake of it.

 

[hairnova]

Slaf has two secondary PP assists this season btw.

 

[Habsy]

Facks

 

[lecoqsportif]

Projection downgraded by whom exactly? Have never heard HuGo or anyone in the Habs org say anything other than a #2 Dman ( as in top pairing #2 guy)

Exactly.

He’s a 20 yr old defenceman for Christ’s sake.

 

[CH1]

Facks

Also facks. Slaf is on a 10 goal pace for the season even after his recent hot streak

 

[Habsy]

And?

You ignore the fact Marty had him playing with different players for two months. I believe he's had the most linemates in the team. There's no regression there.

Haha. You’re right. He’s only 2 goals behind the great Joel Armia. My apologies.

 

[Habsy]

Haha. You’re right. He’s only 2 goals behind the great Joel Armia. My apologies.

I think your expectations are a tad off.

Plus Armia is playing with Jake Evanstzky

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

And me.

Losing this whole season hurts a lot.

An injury delays but does not necessarily destroy a player's maturation process.

It's why I won't judge him until at least half way through next season. See Dach

But two wasted post draft years is not a good thing.

 

[GEEMAN]

The lack of development of Barron, LM, and the unknown of DR has me pretty pessimistic on the right side. I'm guessing we take another RD in the first round.

Exactly , the hope was 1 of Struble/Barron/Harris/LM would develop into a top 4 and DR as the legit top 4

Not necessarily is the key here. But it sure doesn’t help.

 

[GrandWazoo]

And?

He’s pretty much mostly played with either Suzuki or Dach. It’s not like he was bouncing all over the lineup.
