Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[Krustchev]

We would drafting in the top 7 without our GM covid getting us TT, Josh , and Allen

A shit show without them this year

Our offense is Toffoli, Anderson and Gallagher, and sometimes Tatar and KK. That’s about it.

 

[CH1]

Our offence died when it turned out Petry could no maintain a Bobby Orr pace for the entire season

Funny thing is it all changed when Edmundson paired with Weber

noted...but he would have regressed regardless

Anderson? He’s been more than “nice.”

Highway robbery..

Petry is a 30 game star then he falters …….. no Bueno in April

You called it to perfection

I didn't expect Domi to shit the bed completely

I remember fans in Columbus thinking they got a steal out of it. Oups. I guess they thought they were getting a 70pts center.

I expected his 45-50 pace

Honestly , I never thought Josh was this explosive

How the hell do you let a player like that leave

Injury history...IMO you just have to accept he’ll give you avg 65GP per season, anything more is a bonus. Size + elite speed + nastiness + 22-27G finish is an extremely rare combo.

As Stevie Y said when CBJ eliminated TBay a couple of years back when asked what happened (reiterated by Cooper) “our players had no answer for Josh Anderson, he did as he pleased”

I’m very curious / looking fwd to see first hand what he can do vs Leafs in these playoffs

That is the only matchup I think we have a shot

Play physical and hope their studs underachieve again , they wont be getting the cheesy 5-3 calls

We need the Price of last years play in and get balanced scoring

Dubas was in the GM position when we drafted Marner, prior to Lou being hired. Almost every trace of Lou is already gone.

He was the assistant gm. Not sure he gets credit for that pick. But otherwise, he’s done a good job of moving pieces around.

Interim GM, actually. Post-Nonis, Pre-Lou.

Anderson
34 goal pace but going for the cy young

.59 points per game (his other good year was 0.57)

only 1 G and 1 A on the PP

52% corsi

somewhat concerning is that his shooting percentage is 16% which is up from his average of 11

Yep, I really liked Domi the first year too. We just haven't had a guy like Anderson in so long.

keep in mind it was largely due to his shooting percentage being unsustainable

just sayin

Domi had 43pts in first 41GP w 18% shooting (vs career 10%) then 29 in the 2nd half (finished w 14%) and a complete no show as the team pressed to the playoffs

Anderson is a 22-27G power forward, excels at 5-on-5, who should avg 60-65GP- he also never played w PLD and 1GP w Panarin, mainly playing w Jenner, and of course the injuries which plagued him
