FIRST
Laine is nothing more that a power play specialists with that one timer, no two way game and there's a reason, we got him cheap, we all saw the playoffs.
Laine is an anchor
Sorry guys, Habs and Bruins don't trade. It won't happen.
Ok guys I'm a numbers guy , if demidov laine and whomever plays with them can put up 140 points next season we will be in the Stanley Cup finals !!
Lets get a brighter light to shine in JESS face ehhhh 😑😂💪💪
I like Zacha. He was raised well by the Bruins.
With the right start Laine could be much more rounded this season
Hard pass on Zacha, i'd rather try Kapanen or Beck at this point instead of giving up anything for him…especially giving up anything to the Bruins of all teams
Add that he has an 18 team no trade contract which usually means no Canadian team or Buffalo😂
Demi could use another slavic buddy !
Who is digging the puck from the corners id Demidov takes Skafs place?
If he puts in the effort the fans will reward Laine as much as the team will. If drives the second line the way we think he is capable of his line will become the first line without necessarily changing anyone on our current first line. It all depends on how he clicks with whoever his linemates will be to start this season. Better to develop a second line threat than dismantle what is already becoming one of the best lines in the NHL. Fix what is broken (2nd line) don't try to fix something that is already working (first line). I really do not think we need a 2C this year we are not ready to go all in so just stay the course and develop from within. Thanks for the show guys! Keep the faith and Go Habs Go!

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS THE HELL WITH ZACHA HE IS A GOOD PLAYER BUT NOT THAT GOOD >> STOP LOWERING YOUR EXPECTATIONS IF KIRBY DACH DOES COME BACK HEALTY HE WILL HAVE BETTER NUMBERS THAN ZACHA YOU SHOULD BE PATIENT AND GIVE A FEW MONTHS TO DACH AND WE ARE HEARING THAT CROSBY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE AFTER THE OLYMPICS AND HIS FIRST CHOICE IS MONTREAL WHATEVER HAPPENS WITH HIM BUT UNLESS IT'S A STAR PLAYER FOR OUR 2C / I'M OK WITH IT BUT ZACHA IS NOT THE GUY TO PLAY BESIDE DEMIDOV ((((. PAS DU TOUT MON HOMME!!!! ))))) >>>> JOSH STOP BEING LIKE A OLD PROS..TITUTE THAT GETS EXCITED OVER ANYBODY NEW THAT GETS AVAILABLE> I'M TELLING YOU WE WANT SOMEONE REALLY GOOD AND SPECIAL FOR OUR 2C AND PATIENCE IS A VERTUE,

I"m tired of the Hab"s taking castoffs from other teams. We have more than enough players in the pipeline already. Stick with our draft picks and bring them up!
The last time Habs and Bruins traded players, not draft picks, was in 2001 when Weinrich was traded for Traverse. Therefore to think there will be a deal for Zacha seems far fetched so no need to get overly excited.
Boys keep your head up were making playoffs four shor 100 % u think we were dangerous ant end of last season look the —–out this year
Wooooow
Keeping the Crosby dream to fill Montreals 2c. At Christmas time or after the 0lympic break . Keep the Dream Alive ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Malkin and Draisaitl are “second”line, MSL to dole out the minutes accordingly , but Demidov can’t do it alone , is it Bolduc to add the size/grit and shooting ?
Need face-off capability for that 2C , and some finishing capability if you’re given the shot in the slot by Demidov … newhook was like wtf how many times you can’t capitalize on the pass
A good management team motivates players to challenge themselves in order to remain with the team IMO.
