Considering the lineup they have available to them, I don’t mind that first power play unit.

#GoHabsGo oh?

Detroit red wings journalist reporting that Dylan Larkin is not on the ice for practice with the rest of his team. That kind of means a lot, or maybe not, or maybe kind of but not sure…🤣

Kapanen gets a lot of grief but some of it is unfair. He is not one who will drive a line, I think he is a smart player who can react well to what others do on the ice. For that line to be able to create opportunities, it needs Slaf to step up with the puck but his passing game has not been great.

Kapanen or Bolduc, not sure which one, was laughing at the bench when the official didn’t buy Kreider’s “equipment failure” which tells me what I needed to know. :)

Kris Draper a assisté à plusieurs matchs des Canadiens récemment, et je suis convaincu que ce n’est pas sans raison. Il observe un ou plusieurs joueurs de leur alignement. A mon avis, cela ne signifie pas pour autant que Larkin sera nécessairement impliqué dans un échange.

Kris Draper has been to many Habs games recently and I have to believe it’s for a reason. He is looking at a or a few players from their roster. I don’t think that it’s necessarily means that Larkin is going to be involved in a trade though.

Excellent analysis as alway

Perhaps a bold prediction, but I believe that in a few years, Jacob Fowler will become a perennial contender for the Vezina Trophy. I don’t recall ever seeing a young goaltender so skilled at reading the play and reacting accordingly.

Armada vs Sea Dogs this afternoon.

Il ne reste plus que 15 dons avant d’atteindre mon objectif de cent dons. Pensez à faire un don à HemaQuebec, les amis ! L’équipe sur place est toujours formidable.

Only 15 donations left before hitting my goal of a hundred donations. Think of donating to Hema-Quebec. Staff here is always amazing.

Hey fans d'hockey! J'ai une paire de billets à vendre pour le Rocket demain contre le club école des Islanders de NY. Section 116 rangée G Prix : 40$ ch

Hope the Jets and the Devils will have the decency to announce the trade in the next 15 min. I am playing hockey at 11:45am today. :)

I could not agree more, that would be a great move by Winnipeg

Habs could have solved their 2C problem if they would have agreed to include Slafkovsky or Demidov in a trade package. I know i am being facetious but i still don't get the criticism of management when nobody knows what was offered or refused. If solving one problem creates another one, why do it?

Looks like it’s going to be New Jersey

Elliott Friedman just said that the Helleybuck saga is coming to an end. Buffalo?

Born to run, I guess

Congratulations to the City of Quebec who won the bid to host the 2028 Memorial Cup.

La perte de Suzuki est énorme; les Canadiens ne seront plus aussi bons sans lui, mais de nombreux autres joueurs peuvent faire mieux, et ils devront le faire. À court terme, ils pourront s'en sortir, mais l'heure est venue pour eux de se lever et prouvé qu'ils peuvent contribuer.

Loss of Suzuki is huge, Habs won't be as good without him, but many other players on the current roster can be better and they will have to be. Short-term, they can get by but it's gut check time and up to them to step-up.

So folks, with Suzuki out, what are your lines?

Nick Suzuki, out for 2 to 4 weeks. Talk about a major loss

🔴⚪🔵 LIVE at 7 PM ET! Reinbacher and Beck are headed back to Laval! Are the Habs losing faith in two of their top prospects? New guest Marty Bourque joins me to discuss the demotions and what they mean for the Canadiens. #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/live/o2uLLSy...

3 on 3 between the Sharks and the Habs? This should be a lot of fun

Good new is that MSL is still playing Xhekaj. Last season, that would not have been the case but he has played so well that he has earned some extra rope. Thats a positive .

Love art and the creation of art? Follow me :) #art

Je suis à l’aréna de Saint-Eustache pour observer le match qui oppose l’équipe locale au Séminaire Saint-François. C’est une patinoire à l’ancienne, comme on n’en fait plus . J’adore ça ! :)

Both @rickspringhetti.bsky.social and I have noticed a step up in Suzuki's physical play this season, adding yet another dimension to his multifaceted game. #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/live/E67P4Mp...

Mr Saturday Night…Mr.Overtime!!:)

Join @rickspringhetti.bsky.social and me after the game, and join in the discussion. We'd live to hear from you!

How does Benson get the benefit of the doubt at all times?

Colton Parayko with some Jedi defence. :)

Scouting another game tonight. So far, the games I have seen have generally been entertaining. This has been fun.

Watching clips of a game of Bandy and I find it really intriguing. Has anyone ever actually watched a game? What do you think of it?

Right now, Dobes is playing like Montembeault last season: difficulty tracking shots from far, moves way too much, fights ever shot.

I like Blake Bolden as an analyst. She is bringing up some good points on the game itself. I think the other commentators are trying too hard to make it “entertainment”.

Habs have had 1 power-play compared to 3 for Washington yet shots are 21-14 Montreal. Thats a solid road game in my book.

I don’t think Wilson deserved a penalty, but why give Montreal the extra two? Seems like it’s just going to lead to much more frustration. Ridiculous

Hutson’s pass was almost impossible to corral and Dobes could have made a save but Slafkovsky’s backcheck was not good enough. I would make him skip a few shifts.

They call Lane Hutson a lot when he is challenged physically. Here's why. The refs view him as a tiny player so presume difficulties for him. As soon as they see even a hint of it, it's a penalty. Contrast this with Shea Weber who literally cross checked guys until they had back injuries. Nada.
