can't wait to see this team in action! keep the info coming boys.
Jeff Gorton mentioned before last season that if a team wants to make playoffs they need
100% + from their combined special teams
Which they achieved and voila they made playoffs
PP1
Suzuki 🥅
Slaf
Caufield Demidov
Hutson
PP2
Dach 🥅
Newhook
Laine Bolduc
Dobson
2024-25 PP1 Hutson lacking a point shot threat and Laine not moving much resulted in Laine being snuffed out, PP1 became stagnant… replacing Laine with Demidov was automatically more dangerous whether Laine was hurt or not
PP1 use mobility and puck movement of all 5 to generate various chances
Suzuki-Caufield-Demidov -Slaf are all strong shooters Hutson can sneak the odd shot in as well
PP2 Dobson being a serious shooting threat & now a legitimate decoy will help Laine as you now need to cover both 92 & 53… which leaves Dach & Bolduc also great shooters with bumper or red line / in close shots.
* PP2 use Newhook or Matheson as secondary puck carrier on zone entry and Left shooter / passer right side half wall
Result :
Maybe the 2 best PP units on paper in the whole league!!!
Hutson stating season with no deal? Not a good sign
My second PP line would be Dobson, Laine, Dach, Bolduc, Gallagher
Shaun, you're a likeable guy but I don't like mystery player, click baity titles.
On paper MTL definitely looks better but when your systems look sooooo bad it can leave you with worse results than expected.
The PK was not good it was mostly AWFUL no pressure no coverage a bunch of chasing but never catching LONG cycles leaving the pK'rs tired.How they got lucky is the other teams would like the Habs not shoot enough and when they did shot lame weak shots at the goalies pads and or after cycling it full control for over 30 seconds make one dumb pass that turns it over.
The very best PK player they had in the last 3 years was RHP but he is gone.
Why not go crazy and two big boys in front of the net Dach and Slafkovsky
BOLDUC IN THE BUMPER
Buddy it might be time to put the beer down. Montreal's pk ended up 9th in the league last year with 80.9% and Evans-Armia didn't allow a single goal in 10:37 and scored 6 wich places them top 3 in the whole league
Mtl dont wanna pay for 1 season only the second season is always harder every team gonna get on hutson this season if mid season he getting the same production they gonna give him 10 m/season
Dobson should be added to the first power play unit with an empty net.
