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

[lecoqsportif]

Would be good if the -6 was cleaned up a bit, but it’s not ideal being paired with Dach.

 

[lecoqsportif]

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

Special teams, especially the PP, have been key weak spots for years. Good to see it rolling. 12th in the league right now.

 

[GEEMAN]

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

Way more , BS is ok Habs need much more in return

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

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

If you're going to be a one dimensional player, make sure that one dimension is an ability to fill the net with pucks.

 

[lecoqsportif]

We’re witnessing peak Laine:

8 GP
7 PPG
- 6

9 GP
8 PPG
-7

 

[GrandWazoo]

9 GP
8 PPG
-7

6W, 3L

 

[lecoqsportif]

I suspect a lot of that -7 was in the Pittsburgh debacle, much like 3 of the PPGs were against Buffalo.

Just -2 in that game. But that line hasn't been producing anything 5 on 5, although Newhook seems to be playing better. Dach is still a black hole.

Yep. So that’s been status quo, but he’s markedly improved the PP - so a clear net improvement for the team.

Newhook is OK and is well suited to a middle six role.

 

[Habsy]

Dach needs moved to the wing for awhile

On the third line. Heineman should play with 15 and 92.

So Armia-Evans-Dach? I don't mind that.

Yeah.
