It’s more clear than EVER right now…

1. I like the Kapanen line right now, keep it together. I like Dach on Suzuki’s wing when he comes back. Looking like 2 really solid lines that can drive the play and give teams trouble. Go Habs go!

2. Slaf will go back to the first line when Newhook comes back. (When is he coming back?)
   Demidov, Kap & Newhook were a great line.
   I can actually see our third line being Dach, centering Texier and Bolduc

3. Try Anderson with Suzuki line first before breaking up the Euro line.

4. Slaf x Demi is 💥

5. Texier appearing on the first line in Montreal! I bet he didn't have many opportunities like that in Saint-Louis.

6. Why would you put Slav back to be a subservient on the first line when he is proving he can be a driver on the second line?

7. I have to disagree with you Jesse.

   Leave Slaf on the Kap/Demidov line. He is playing better than he ever has.

   But Bolduc has to go on that top line.

8. Slafkosky opens the ice up for his line

9. 4 weeks ago the press and fans were saying he's a bust

10. 2nd half Slaf is here 🙂 … And 2nd line is now 1st 😉

11. SLAFZILLA MAN!!!! THIS BROKEN IT ALL HAHAHAHA HE NAILED IT ALL MAN THE TEAM HAD TO WIN IT FOR HIM FOR GOD SAKE
    FAWK

12. Dach can not come back into the lineup soon enough

13. Worthwhile remembering the last time the Habs played the Lightning they got manhandled -6-1. So taking the game into a shootout after a great comeback is a big improvement.

    I've always tbought Slafkovsky played a lot like Frank Mahovlich. Sometimes he looks like he's not doing much, but with his size, and those long strides, he gets lots done without looking like he's working that hard. I have a lot of faith that he will be a great asset to the team for years to come.

14. Lets trade laine and some draft picks for nemec

15. keep the line Slafkovsky – Kapanen- Demidov together!

16. Texier deserves a chance to he on top line. So far i have seen working him very well with Suzy and Cole. When Kirby and Newhy comes MSL can really do also third line strong. I think fans are too harsh on Zach. Patience with him though thats something what #habs fans dont have like with Slaf when they are now proved wrong. DO NOT TOUCH DemiKapaSlaf line

17. Chlapci v prvom rade pozdrav zo Slovenska. A teraz Slafa.a návrat do prvej formácie. Nechajťe Slafa v druhej ,tam to klape a budú ešte robiť zázraky. Prvú formáciu nechajte nech rozbehne Suzi. je to jeho lajna a musíte mu veriť ako sme na Slovensku verili že Slafkovský je oprávnene jednotka draftu. Len doplniť jedného hráča do prvej lajny, opýtajte sa Suziho koho by chcel k sebe a Coufieldovi..👍🇸🇰👏 veď nie je nikde napísané že Slaf nemôže občas alternovať v prvej lajne.

18. I said a couple of games ago that he's looking like a monster…and someone commented "naah, I'd say finally looking consistently okay". We'll see if he keeps this going, but after tonight I don't think there's any question.

19. Once Newhook and Dach are back. We will see how it all falls together. Dach has had success with Suzy & Cole and Newy has had success with Kaps & Demi. Going to be interesting.

20. When everyone fit:

    Caufield – Suzuki – Dach
    Slaf – Kapanen – Demigod
    Texier – Newhook – Bolduc
    Anderson – Danault – Gallagher

21. SLAV SHOULD LOOK INTO SHORTENING HIS STICK…… HE IS STILL STANDING UPRIGHT … WHEN HE BENDS DOWN MORE HE WILL SCORE MUCH MUCH MORE.

22. Xhekaj 💪💪💪💪💪
    SLAF 👏👏👏👏👏
    GO HABS GO

23. Bolduc is not a 1st liner 🤷🏾

24. I would not stifle #20's flourish and development on 2nd line just to improve the 1st line by moving him up.

25. There are better teams in NHL😂Montreal will win nothing because his príde fans

26. Bolduc is simply warming up dach's chair

27. It's time to stop buying their sticks at the dollar store

28. Dach is better as a winger, and especially on the top line as a winger. If we want the best out of the player that is on the wing in a top 6 role.

29. I thought Mike M had a strong game too. Kevin from HFX NS

30. The kid line is the number one line now. Suzuki is upset because Slaf is off his line. But we see how Nick's game is not dominant. Faceoffs, zone entries, getting knocked around,,bad passes. He is the Captain Suck it up and try harder. Get into those dirty spots and move your legs more. Look at the Captain's around the league and watch their efforts.

31. do you made that trade , mtl give caufield and matheson for robert thomas and parayko ?

32. Yep the 2nd line is the first line. All year i keep hearing the Habs need a 2nd line center but they already have one. They need defense.

    No excuse for Suzuki and Caufield they are good enough to carry a line on their own. They are just not producing.

33. Buy or trade the Nemec, while you still can. That boy is going in a similar direction as the Slav.

34. Anyone still think Slaf is a bust? 🤣🤣🤣 Where did all those detractors go? We just need to find another true top 6 winger (maybe Dach since he played great as a winger with them a couple of seasons ago) to play with Suzi and Cole so Bolduc can go back to the 3rd line and develop into a great player. I like Bolduc but he is being asked to play above what a 2nd year player who is not a Demidov type elite player. Keep the faith and Go Habs Go!

35. lol this Josh Gosse dude does the Habs now? He used to gas the Wild up last year on Wild Digest and a lot of the fans got annoyed with his overly hyped delivery of regular news

36. i would love anderson to step up to caufield and suzuki level and play first line minutes but unfortunally i dont think he can do that. i would love dach to get on the first line as a winger when he gets back
