GDT | Game 32 | at Detroit | Friday, December 20th | 7:00 PM EST

[GrandWazoo]

I liked the bite in his game too.

Good stuff for a guy that didn't even had a practice with the team.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Habs now 9-7-1 in the last 17 games, 15th league wide in point % over that period

“In da mix”

 

[hairnova]

Laine is the first player to score 7 goals in his first 8 games with the Canadiens since Pierre Turgeon in 1995.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Hutson needs someone more reliable than Matheson to play with.

Bigly.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Hutson needs someone more reliable than Matheson to play with.

Yes but who? Carrier? Guhle?

 

[lecoqsportif]

Reinbacher, after Matheson is moved.

Reinbacher, after Matheson is moved.

So no one this year

 

[GEEMAN]

That’s always going to be a lost cause, no fault of his - lack of size

Yup can’t fix that

 

[GEEMAN]

LAINE!

The PP machine.

But a mess 5/5

 

[wiseguy1]

But a mess 5/5

The 4th line was way better than the 2nd.

 

[lecoqsportif]

So no one this year

Likely not.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Yes but who? Carrier? Guhle?

Apparently NYR have made Braden Schneider available… Gorton knows him well & he’s the modern day stay at home type Hutson needs as a stabilizer, signed longterm…

Not sure what NYR would be looking at… Matheson?

 

[Habsy]

He is RD but I think Matheson is worth more. Right age to acquire though.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

But a mess 5/5

a goal is a goal is a goal

 

[lecoqsportif]

We’re witnessing peak Laine:

8 GP
7 PPG
- 6

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

We’re witnessing peak Laine:

8 GP
7 PPG
- 6

so + 1 overall

 

[Habsy]

We’re witnessing peak Laine:

8 GP
7 PPG
- 6

He's the one dimensional player, not Cole, but he's bloody good at it.

 

[GrandWazoo]

He's the one dimensional player, not Cole, but he's bloody good at it.

He’s got some pretty sneaky passing skills, but he’s not playing with anyone able to finish.

 

[Krustchev]

so + 1 overall

When he’s scored, we’re 5-0. When he hasn’t, we’re 0-3. ‘Nuff said. At a minimum, there’s some correlation in those numbers.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I’m pretty sure that PP goals count the same as even strength goals. Not 100% sure though.
