  1. Xhajec has looked good on the right side these last couple of games. Looks like MSL may try Guhle/Xhajec which should be a huge upgrade over Struble. Struble has been hideous last few games he has cost us goals or prime chances because he can't even accept a pass without fumbling the puck.

  2. The Guhle – Xhekaj pairing is probably a reflection of the minutes MSL plans to play Guhle his first game back.
    This is potentially an enormous game for the Canadiens because management is still trying to figure out how ready Fowler is for full time NHL play. This is a huge game in the standings, the fan expectations are high and the team is on a hot streak. It adds up to a lot of pressure on Fowler if he passes this test, then the two best goalies we have are Dobes and Fowler.
    Dobes or Fowler gets sent down and Monty gets to play a few games to prove he is back. There are many teams in the NHL looking to improve their goaltending and who would pay handsomely for a goaltender. I trust Hughes will take full advantage of it. I can see Monty and Struble or Xhekaj bundled for a top six winger for the top line.

  3. I wish I had your Dach enthusiasm but I don’t. I would be shocked if he plays 10 games before getting injured again.

    Besides, I think Blais, Velano, and Beck can be just as productive in their strengths.

  4. Why does management want to keep pissing in Dobes corn flakes? Why the disrespect to the win leader on the team? I don't like the choices in net. I hope Dobes gets moved to a rival and kicks our ass everytime he plays us.

  5. I like the channel im subscribed but the bias toward Fowler is crazy lol hes been alright but to say he makes “bigger saves” than the other two should be a sin. Fowler is 21 and has played in regular season games only nothing on the line except bad stats and some more AHL time which is almost every goalies career other than some rare tendy’s idk pissed me off a bit dont bash our goalies especially Dobes. Weve had bad defensive games and the guys in net deal with all the mistakes. Fowler could go on a 5 game stinker get sent down and youd be begging for Monty or Dobes to be consistent. “Better saves”😂😂😂 so dumb

  6. Starting Ghule off on the 3rd pairing to get his feet under him. Not too much time on the ice & going against the 3rd & 4th lines of Detroit. I expect that to change once he gets in game shape…

  7. I think Ghule and Xhekaj will be game long 3rd pair to give Ghule time to shake the rust off. Next game will be a different story. Keep the faith and Go Habs Go!

  8. The more Fowler plays, the more footage there will be on him and other teams will figure out his weakpoints which he needs to be ready to adjust. I have a feeling the real issues in his development may show as early as next season. I really don't want to see Fowler to be in the situation that Carey Price had in 2008-09 and 2009-10 as it will hurt his development (making him learn the hard way). The most recent goalie to go with this issue was Spencer Knight. My prediction, 4-3 OT considering how things have went last season with OT vs Red Wings.

  9. This will be a great test for the guys .The Wings and Steve Yzerman have taken a lot of heat over the last couple of years but are now legit . Go Habs.

  10. Arber's last two games on the right were among his better games; activates his shot on the point and he seems to play a more balanced game between defence, offence and times his physical play for the most part appropriately. Would love to see him continue his progression playing with Ghule.

  11. I feel sorry for Dobes he seems to be the odd man out. He has the best record of all the goalies. How come monty gets a second, third , fourth , fifth chance but dobes gets forgotten? I wish the habs works get rid of Monty. Monty gets cuddled by the French media.

  12. We should trade Boluc, Dobesh, Beck, Struble and a second round pick for Keefer Sherwood. None of these guy are going to have a spot next year anyway. Hell, throw in Laine too.
