No I did not, that’s why I ask. He impressed me in training camp, so I expected a monster year from him. Good to know he’s on the right path.

How do you explain that he had such a down year in the Swiss League?

I sure hope you’re right, but without Dobson, it’s going to be a real challenge.

But it sure looks like what MSL would do.

Michigan denied the report that Alex Hage was joining the team next season. So long for that factor.

And it ain’t no fluke this time.

Yes agree. The perfect partner for Hutson, finally.

Suddenly Habs are in a bit of trouble short term. Reinbacher won't play tonight after going back 2 back. Guhle has to step in, but is he ready? Playoffs starting in less than a week. Not ideal.

Great. But zero chance he plays tonight after a back 2 back with the Rocket. Let's hope Guhle is good to go.

Maybe Engstrom/Hutson with Lane on the left side? Would be awesome.

So very true.

Reading is underrated! Personally, grabbing a good book and laying there on my couch is 1000% times better than watching a netflix series. You think you enjoy the Lincoln Lawyer, try reading it instead. Way way better.

As he should. The goalie of the future is Fowler. But the goalie of the present is Dobes. No controversy.

Same for me. And that's a shame.

To me, no need for him to be a unicorn. He could be the 7th D for many years. And a useful one. I wouldn’t trade him just because he ain’t what we wished he´d become.

Yep agreed. But now they've lost their 2nd pair. They gotta find someone to play with Hutson. You can't put your most talented Dman alongside your worst. doesn't make any sense at all.

Yeah and if he is destined to play on the right side, might as well be with his brother…

Maybe. But a veteran like Gally should know better. Awful penalty.

Absolutely right. If we agree that the players need to be better, I’d say the coaches also need to be better. Some odd player management to say the least.

I would love to see Arber at forward on the 4th line. Won't happen, but I would try it.

I absolutely love Hugo’s work up to now, but I believe they gave up quickly on such a rare asset. Let’s revisit this trade in a couple of years.

Random thought: what if the missing big RHD was now playing on the blue line for the St.Louis Blues..?

That was unbelievable. And the fresh legged Bruin knew it and went after him. Did not matter. Amazing.

Hopefully this guy becomes Reinbacher. Otherwise, major problem on the horizon.

If you’re going to play Struble beside Hutson, then it’s frickin’ time to call up Reinbacher.

Struble avec Hutson, à ce stade-ci, est une véritable farce.

So so good! But the problem is Reinbacher only helps if he can handle 4D duties right now. If they play him on the 3rd pair, it would mean Carrier on the 2nd, which is a no-no. Tough call.

True. If Gallagher proves to be one of the best 12 forwards. That remains to be seen.

That part I don’t like. No need to make promises to try to sweeten the news. Just like you don’t tell Monty exactly when he’s gonna play again.

That’s my point. If they bring Reinbacher, it means playing him on the top 4, then Guhle-Carrier 3rd pair. I don’t think they’re ready to do that just yet.
