Training Camp 2022

[GGpX]

You know someone I've liked a lot tonight? Brandon Gignac.

 

[Habsy]

Horseshit officiating even in preseason.

 

[habs25th]

I've somewhat liked Dach, he just lacks a bit of urgency in his game, similar to Kotkaniemi. But i like his poise. I think Anderson would be a good fit on his wing.

 

[Habsy]

lol now they “Miss” a high stick?!?

 

[Habsy]

A linesman has to step in. I really really hate nhl officiating.

 

[habs25th]

I hope Dadonov gets on waivers.

 

[GGpX]

The most infuriating thing about the NHL will always be the referees.

 

[GGpX]

I hope Dadonov gets on waivers.

I don't. I hope he scores ~20 goals and we can trade him for a 1st round pick.

Game management

No penalty call = 2-1 Winnipeg

Proper penalty call = 3-2 Habs

This right here is the perfect example of how they effect the game.

 

[Habsy]

I don't. I hope he scores ~20 goals and we can trade him for a 1st round pick.

I doubt he’ll ever get a first but I’m fine with a second.

 

[GGpX]

I doubt he’ll ever get a first but I’m fine with a second.

Me neither, but it all depends on how desperate a team gets. Just need a team like Carolina, Colorado or Washington to have one injury too many and they might be desperate enough to want Dadonov at 50% for a 1st.

But something like a 2nd + 5th for Dadonov seems more realistic.

 

[Habsy]

lol

Great practice for season. Losing last minute is important

 

[Fred the Man]

Mid season tank mode there, giving up the lead and the game in the last 5 minutes.

 

[GGpX]

Roy & Kidney were both sent back to the Q.

Not a surprise. Neither of them really stood out in the game.

I'm expecting a whole bunch of cuts after Saturday's game to send the majority of the AHL-bound players to Laval's training camp, which starts Sunday.

 

[Habsy]

 

[hairnova]

Expecting big years from both of them.

 

[Alan C]

Dach was good on the draw this game. They are working with him on that.

Pimeau's issues are mental. He has the skill but seems to wilt.

 

[GGpX]

You know who Primeau kind of reminds me of? Justin Pogge.

I remember @legoalie saying for years that Toronto putting their faith in Justin Pogge was a terrible idea because he used to coach him and he would get rattled regularly. legoalie could probably tell the story much better than I could, though.

Primeau looks like that. He seems to have the required skill, but I'm not sure he has the mental toughness to be an NHL caliber goalie.

The most infuriating thing about sports will always be the referees.

Fixed for you

 

[GrandWazoo]

I have no faith whatsoever that Primeau will ever amount to anything. I agree with the mental part, he plays on his heels, afraid to be beaten, instead of confident and on his toes daring the shooters to find a way to beat him. It hasn’t changed in 3 years.
