This could’ve been resolved if the Leafs won a cup in the last 60 years
Pretty easy actually
Xhekaj to the AHL
Kreider to the sun
So now that’s 14 which is a fine amount to run on a roster
If you gotta trade Newhook for a upgrade in the top 4, you do it
If Texier isn’t up to scratch come playoff time, he can sit out
Si réellement l'organisation voit Michael Hage et Alexander Zharovsky dans leur alignement à la fin de l'année, il y aura VRAIMENT trop d'attaquants.
Suzuki
Caufield
Demidov
Slafkovsky
Bolduc
Newhook
Kreider
Danault
Evans
Anderson
Dach
Texier
Beck
F.Xhekaj
Hage
Zharovsky
Ça fait 16 attaquants, ça!
#Habs #Canadiens
1. It was pretty much even 5v5 with the Habs controlling most of the game, leafs were better between halfway through the 2nd to the halfway of the 3rd
2. You can actually see how impactful that bs PP icing. You can see the spike at the start of the 3rd, the Habs were about to take over and kill the game before that
3. Counting 6v4 xG is crazy way to make a point
4. Great response by the Habs after giving up the 2 goals
I love Slaf and I know he’ll improve later in the season
I’d still trade him and +++ for Jason Robertson tomorrow
That extra 3-4m aav is worth it for the extra 20 points Robertson provides
It’s actually a disgrace the HOF is in Toronto and not moved into the old Montreal Forum when it’s use was discontinued
Like ffs, the Hall is full of Habs players and Habs cups
When Matheson comes back, you gotta sit Xhekaj and take some minutes away from Guhle and Carrier, 25+ a game for them is a bit much. Would prefer under 23 for them
I also think a Matheson - Engstrom pairing can play 16-17 minutes and be successful
I genuinely think the NHL tells its refs to keep games interesting
The Habs were up 3-0 and about to kill the game with a great start to the 3rd
Refs call a phantom penalty suddenly momentum is shifted and it’s a close game
Hage and Zharovsky in the NHL in April would be amazing
This also allows the Habs to truly upgrade the D core with an Edvinsson 👀
This is one of the better officiated games simply because the refs don’t wanna give either team Powerplays
I’ll never understand benching an extremely talented rookie for a mistake
They know they fucked up, let them go out and make up for it
