I agree. We should hire Kevyn Adams as special advisor role in off season just so we can fire him mid season and get the bump.

He’s a rookie like you said. He’s been great. But he’s the third best rookie… Schaefer first and Sennecke seems tiny bit above maybe but he’ll close that gap. Was too selfish at first and now not finishing but should be huge. Hope Hage comes up next year and has okay rookie season.

I think you’re right. It’s hard to know based on matchups etc but he’s probably it. Dach and Newhook not played enough. Evans been okay but back to earth / more depth… may be it. Danault been a good addition. Fowler may be up there lol.

Laine now not top 23. Newhook and Dach wild cards but solid players on deep team if healthy. Anderson fine albeit expensive. Danault and Evans good depth centers. We need Hage, Reinbacher, and Fowler.

Habs best players based on this season, not potential:

1. Hutson
2. Suzuki
3. Caufield
4. Slafkovsky
5. Matheson
6. Dobson
7. Demidov

Point: Hutson already our best player, not Suzuki; Caufield is underrated at this point. 1-4 and 7 going to only get better. 5 needs load mgmt and 6 needs to grow

And now the fucking bruins score again too. Terrible hockey team. Near last in league last year. Traded Marchand. Cockroach franchise.

So true. It’s all the youth. And the cap friendly deals for literally everybody else.

(β€˜Keep’ meaning he’s not the problem there… has a role and does it fairly well).

The D is problematic for me. We need a depth D if Reinbacher can’t make it. Arber plays 9:10 and makes it harder on everybody not named Lane Hutson to play a complete game.

$17.5M for that line with one year left. I keep Danault and hold my nose with the other two. Anderson can play a $2.5M role and can still skate so you just deal with it. Gallagher is the biggest problem; I’d load manage him and play him 50 games next year so he has gas in his tank.

Good points, but Prasad far more unfit for the role than these pointed but polite remakes point out. Like the president, his character is disqualifying. They have very different strengths and weaknesses, but both are not fit for jobs in which an even keeled, considered temperament is paramount.

We’ve learned nothing. Everybody just reading their feeds and upset or ignoring all feeds and doing whatever the fuck they want. World fell apart so fast. Trump just runs on impulse and everybody reacts to him as if he’s got an overarching set of drivers vs impulses.

In London (UK) and watching BBC talking heads go on about Trump as if there’s some overarching strategy. Whole world is lost. Some people smart but over-intellectualizing. The bullies, greedy, and unsophisticated run the whole world. The strategists are as out of touch with moment as the populists.

This is the kind of hard-hitting, in-depth investigative journalism the athletic was founded to invest in

Slafkovsky was the difference in an undeserved Game 62 win for the Habs On Saturday, the west coast road trip mercifully concluded in Los Angeles against the Kings. The Habs allowed 12 regulation goals in the first two games of the trip and collected just one point. Af…

Here is your Sunday morning read. Slaf was the difference in a win the #Habs didn’t deserve. With the things I’d like to see soon…

I kind of have given up on us. The breaking point should have been first term. January 6th. The lawsuits. There are no consequences in this country.

Among the shame and evil of the actions themselves the total disregard for all the American dead who gave their lives for this country is also noteworthy. We were given so much. We are boorish, ungrateful, and disgusting. Overwhelmingly upsetting.

It’s sad to admit but the US is committing atrocities that we would not accept of any other country. If there’s any justice or western democracy many should face trials. I never thought I’d ever live in a country where I need to ignore things to get through my days, but it doesn’t make it go away.

This is the best team offense since the 1980s, the worst Habs goaltending since about that time, and the worst team defensive structure in as long as I can remember. When did we become the Oilers? NOT COMPLAINING!

This has been the hardest week to be a Habs hockey fan since before the pandemic. Not the worst week just care more than I have in as long as I can remember and the games have all been soul crushing.
