In the department of best moves you never made, the CBJ tried so hard to change Bobrovsky’s mind about leaving last year as a UFA but of course could not. Goaltending is so hard to predict but this Korpisalo-Elvis goalie duo could be special.
@iwillbehave514 @fnveenie In two playoff games I haven't seen anything from Weise to even suggest he is an NHLer still. Meanwhile you got Poehling & Evans twiddling their thumbs with nothing to do.
#Penguins are 14-1 under referee Francis Charron over the past three seasons.
Team records with tonight's refs (since '17):
#GoHabsGo: 9-14 (39%)
#LetsGoPens: 20-2 (91%)

@LAFFY_MTLCH @MTLWaters @MitchyGallo @AlexMeleras I've like what MB has done the last 2 years, I'm still patient on CJ, I like Timmins, Ducharme & Bouchard where they are for the time being. I do agree Molson needs to hire a Pres. of Hockey Ops. Vets, 31 & 6 need to stay but the rest are expendable if the return is good.
@JJonesey@rouah4life @StPatrick33 @ScopeHockey I'm curious to see how he adapts to the 5v5 play in the NHL. However, if the #Habs use him on the half wall on the PP all the highlights I've seen suggest that when given room he will be a force. Some good, some bad which may be why some teams shied away from him.
@JJonesey@rouah4life @StPatrick33 @ScopeHockey I saw Caufield ranked as high as 5th and as low as 12th, depending on what you choose to go with he fell anywhere from 3 to 10 spots. I guarantee that a guy falls like that in almost every draft year. Sometimes it bites teams, sometimes it ends up looking smart.
@HabsChronicle Vejdemo needs playing time in a Top 6 role not 8-10 minutes playing 4th line. Also I thought Weise has been half decent on the 4th line.
@LAFFY_MTLCH @MTLWaters @MitchyGallo @AlexMeleras You're reading to much into it, not sure where you got that the season was lost due to injuries. The season was already going down hill and losing those guys at that time didn't help and makes it that much harder to get back in the playoff picture.
@MTLWaters @LAFFY_MTLCH @MitchyGallo @AlexMeleras I don't know how this can be made any simpler. Look at the 6 forwards who are playing the most regardless of talent/skill. Take three of those six guys away and replace them with less talent/skill players and the team will be worse.
@LAFFY_MTLCH @MTLWaters @MitchyGallo @AlexMeleras If you look at the Habs forwards the 6 forwards leading the team in points and in time on ice per games played are Tatar, Gallagher, Drouin, Domi, Danault & Armia aka the Top 6.
@LAFFY_MTLCH @MTLWaters @MitchyGallo @AlexMeleras You are missing the point, it isn't that Armia is a Top 6 RW. Ideally he would be a 3rd line winger that can spot fill in the Top 6 if needed. But, unfortunately on this team he is a Top 6 guy and they are missing him.
@YoullDoNottin @BenjForget@PierreVLeBrun Waiver rules state that if claimed the team claiming has to keep the player on there NHL roster. Who do you think needs/wants Lindgren on there NHL roster?
