It’s obvious… right?

1. Thanks for slowing it down. Stop shaking your head affirmatively when Jesse is talking. Take the mic out of the picture; also shaking around. I appreciate what you guys do.

2. As for Hage i can see him eventually on the wing with suzuki and caufield.

3. He finished game with 4 assists. They will do the same with Hage as they have done with every other NCAA player. Let him burn off the first year of his entry level contract and finish the last few games he is available for. Poor Slaf started playing at 18 so he's the only one to play 3 full seasons on his ELC.

4. The Dach injury situation is just about the Habs wanting to be extra cautious with him. This was a fracture, not a knee injury, so the healing is more definitive. My feeling is that if this team gets Ghule, Liane, Dach and Newhook AND Evans back, they will be a force! I do think this is Dach's last chance, he has to remain reasonably healthy or they are going to give up on him. There is no use having a guy who is a 50/50 to be in the lineup once the playoffs start.

   However, is St. Louis really going to move Slav after the way he's played the past couple of weeks? That would be awfully risky…but then again he might just be at a point where he is going to be great no matter where he plays.

5. Hage dominated today with 4 assists.

6. Hage will play only if Dach gets injured again and if we make playoffs so we need a center .Dach is is big gamble because he gets injured almost every month.I am really happy because Guhle is coming back.We need him.

7. I look forward to seeing what Habs will look like when injured players come back…Veleno has worked very hard, but I think he will be the first to be pulled…Danault centre # 3 and Evans # 4 centre, maybe vice versa…will Dach play with Suzuki and Caufield?…or will Dach play at centre? I think Laine may be gone for good unless he REALLY picks up his game. Hope Guhle can stabilize the defense and or provide more offense,…Newhook has at least another month to go before he comes back…Sammy Blais will likely to be pulled…

8. i would put him under right wing

9. mike hage

10. With Danault back in The Family Dach should get his suitcases out of the closet, give his landlord his notice and text his brother in Chicago asking him if he can move in. I gurantee that he is done in Habtown.

11. Hage isn't ready. He's 2-3 years away. He should go back to college. Roy scored the same amount of points with Conor. Michael did it with Gavin. Profile wise, Roy and Hage are similar, they both play on the fringe and Roy is buried in Laval. He's not going to supplanted Danault or Evans. Beck is ahead of him too. There's no reason to sign Hage right now, Hughes would be making a mistake

12. Dach will be on that line when he's ready to come back. Kapanen, Demidov and Slaf are a revelation together. They won't be taken apart

13. IMO, Dach (trade) and Gallagher (buyout) will be gone next year, there will be room for Hage.

14. PLease do not set your hopes too high with Kurby Dack. we will see if Dack can make a come back. they are not to put him on 1st line from game one?

15. Josh, can you reduce the white light on your videos? The videos are great, but they are way too bright and over saturated:)

16. To my observation Hage isn't NHL ready. He needs to be stronger. Its a big offseason of strength and conditioning for him

17. Blais est à sa place , il ne prendra pas la ligne orange vers Laval. Veleno et Beck devraient prendre le métro.

18. Habs are not yet a serious contender. No need to rush Hage. Give him some more development and then bring him up. He needs a lot of minutes to play. Nhl is not the place to develop. Go habs.

19. 7players out of 12 ataackers make 1million or less lol

20. Struble, Veleno, Bolduc out. Nemec in. And than :
    1. Suzuki, Caufield, Anderson, Hutson, Guhle
    2. Slaf, Demi, Kapanen, Nemec, Dobson
    3. Texier, Laine, Dach, Matheson, Carrier
    4. Newhook, Evans, Danault…
    total hockey is waiting for us. 🎉

21. Team Canada only wanted to give the award to CHL players. Hage took a different route through the USHL and NCAA

22. It was political, Hage plays for a US university not in Canada. So they sink him

23. I can see Dach and Laine used for trade bait for a power forward to compliment the 1st line.

24. Easy, that 4th line currently is gone when Evans, Anderson, Dach, & Newhook are back.

    Laine won't play for the Habs again.

    Realistically, if you had the choice to play Texier, as good as he has been, or Hage….who are you going to dress? Heck, I would sit Bolduc and play Hage, can't do any worse.

25. I'd like to be wrong, but you can't count on, Dach. The boy is made of glass.

26. Danault isnt good. Beck is.

27. The World Junior analyst panel on TSN said definitively that Hage will play in Montreal before the end of this season. Yes, it's hard to find a slot for him in the lineup, but who's to say we don't have more injuries along the way? We know Dach won't last the season. And what's up with Andy? How much longer do we run with Veleno? Etc, etc.

28. …together this 2nd kid line has been great so far. I don't believe that Marty will split them up in such a situation. Demi said that he needs Slaf for his progress, Slaf needs the two of them to develop actions without worrying that he doesn't have adequate teammates..the point is that teammates can predict (chemistry) what he will do with the puck..where he will send it, it is usually quite sharp passes to each other. However, it has the advantage that a sharp pass is harder for the other player to follow and react to.
    The first attack was like compulsory school attendance for Slaf….he was patient and learned until the coach promoted him…but I repeat. The coach's confidence in his abilities was evident long before he sent him no to Laval. That's why Slaf could learn and develop with the best on the team…it accelerated his progress…that's my personal opinion. I remember how Slaf sent a message to Montreal before the draft. He said: I heard you're looking for someone to join Suzi and Cole as the first offense…I'M HERE if you want…

29. Passion is incredible 😁🤌
