Habs Season Thread: 2023-24 Season

[GEEMAN]

My concern about CC is 5 on 5. And winning battles along the board and keeping puck position, the kid will be eventually fine.

Small samples size but he gets involved and hasn't been bad defensively

At his size its more positioning and competing , he isn't going to win the many board battles but that's ok

 

[Habs4ever]

CC was playing with Dano and Andy and KK was centering Evans and Lehky in today's practice.

Too bad, he was having a great season, and could help Habs in playoff.

 

[Sal_Butera]

F*ck me...just wonderful. How much will this stunt his development now!

 

[GrandWazoo]

Fuck, I was hoping to see him in the playoffs to replace Staal.

[Habsy]

Now we're paying for the crazy schedule with injuries.

 

[Habs4ever]

Damn, wished Poehling was at least available.
Doubt if he will be available for playoff.

Here’s my conspiracy theory: the Habs have found a loophole to get their key veterans rest. I don’t deny there are bumps & bruises, as every player on every team has them (and Gallagher clearly was injured), but this org is using this as an opportunity pre-playoffs prep....and good on them if that is in fact the reality.

and perhaps some cap management....

Not a chance... But the juicier conspiracy is Habs don't want to clinch a playoff berth so that the Calgary/Canuck games are meaningful, postponing the start of the playoffs for extra extra extra rest

 

[lecoqsportif]

Calgary will just lay down and get swept.

 

[Habs4ever]

Will Dano be back for playoff?

 

[Sal_Butera]

So what was it Friedman said at intermission - Molson & MB discussing his future?

 

[GGpX]

It shouldn't be a long discussion, to be honest.

The team that The Charlatan has put out isn't good. There's no other way to cut it.

I highly doubt Dolan sat down w Davidson & Gorton to discuss their futures...

 

[GGpX]

I don't think either of their contracts were coming to an end after this season.
