Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[Habsy]

Gorton has to get the diary settled first. I understand it even if I disagree.

What a terrible mistake.

Norlinder's wasting his time in Europe.

Maybe like you said m he isnt that bueno

Norlinder’s going to pull a Nygren - I fear he’s satisfied with the comfort of life in Sweden

If that's the case then he was never the right guy. We already have Drouin who values comfort over accomplishment.

No fans for tonight's game and not likely for Saturday night either.

Saturday might get cancelled

molson should be giving out rapid tests hours before the game

Maybe the rest of the regular season will be cancelled. Playoffs for all 32 teams in the summer, Habs make it to the Stanley Cup final.

Bingo. Although the difference between the two is, Nygren was 25 or so when he returned to Sweden. Norlinder's 21.

The thing with Norlinder is, his game is already tailored to the European game where he has a lot of time to skate, to dangle, without the ice surface restraints & the physical aspect of North American hockey.

Stupid situation with Norlinder, he should have been sent back to Sweden after training camp given that he was not ready and not allowed to play in the AHL.

Old regime constantly waffled with decision making when it came to rookies. “The player decides for us” didn’t cut it

Tomorrow night's game against the Bruins has been postponed.

 

[Habsy]

They should Murray shut down until January.

Olympics done. Guaranteed they’ll use those weeks to complete the postponed games

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Not that it matters but Olympic committee or whatever should’ve switched the Olympics to another country/venue and awarded China a future one instead

I'm sure they'll try, but will depend on building availability. Lots of events are already booked in February.

Roster Updates:

• Lehkonen has been placed on the covid list;
• Armia and Perreault have been placed on IR;
• Belzile, Harvey-Pinard and Vejdemo have been recalled.

I still think the NHL will go to the Olympics if the situation is better by then. If you’re vaccinated, this is basically a cold.

The Laval Canadiens

I think they will go if the situation is better by then.

If it wasn't in China I'd agree. Not so sure they go.
