After watching last nights game….Jackeye is better than Guhle, Carriere and at times Matheson !!!…the only defencemen that you might call studs are Hutson and Dobson….after that…Arber ain't too bad !!! Slaf is still great …take it easy !!!
Slaf is just not hitting and digging in the corners like he does in his best games. He needs to get mentally back on track.
I don’t want to lose Xhekaj at all….. would be stupid, we need to make room for him and give him consistent minutes. I’d rather trade other d and make room for xhek
BOUDAS would be more effective to clear the front of the net. we like number 72 but if he doesn't play how can he get better? so a trade is a possibility. Reinbacker in mtl another right hander leaves no place for Struble of no 72???
i cannot beleive Slav needs to be benched during a game to get his act together? Olympics has emptied Slakosky left hit progreee in Italy in those Olympics games?
IF Slav continues like now coach St Louis will bench Slav to send him a message . ebven it you take him out of the roster for a game like Bolduc might get his attention? BUt slav should correct what is going wrong or coach st louis will help him understand . His tired rest him before the series .BUt are habs going to be in the series?
I love Arber i hope he stay in MTL, but at that point i think it be better for him to leave, MSL just dont know how to use him.
they compared this bum to jagr 🤣🤣🤣
Play less than 10 minutes per game, they coach is creating a lot of that issue.
I like Arber a lot but he has not improved at all as opposed to most youngsters on the team. You can't blame the coach when every one else is getting better every day. The habs like smart players… Xhekaj is not smart. He still does not get the team's system. I had high hopes but there is a reason why such an athletic guy was not drafted. We need to face reality, the guy has 0 hockey I.Q.
