Dvo injured LOL at least we’ll have Suzuki Poehling Evans Dauphin in the middle

Yeah meanwhile Caufield is on the 3rd line & Ylonen is on the 4th line

Drouin-Suzuki-Hoffman
Perreault-Poehling-Caufield
Lehkonen-Evans-Ylönen
Pezzetta-Dauphin-Paquette

If Ducharme don’t do that he is a **** but since we know he is it won’t be that

How long is Dvorak out?

injury report is lower body, cant help much other than that unfortunately

lines at practice (woohoo no acgm promotion from me)

Hoffman - Suzuki - Drouin (why are they playing drouin at RW when they have hoffman)
Lehkonen - Poehling - Evans (this is a third line thats painful)
Perreault - Dauphin - Caufield (poor caufield)
Pezzetta - Paquette - Ylonen (couldnt you play the younger guys a bit higher)

Chiarot - Savard (best two defensemen of their respective sides unfortunately (arguable for Savard, wideman's been decent))
Romanov - Wideman (makes sense)
Kulak - Clague (good to know clague can play right side)
Scheuneman (lul)

Allen
Montembeault (need a better temporary backup imo)

So switch Hoffman and Drouin but decent 1st line, good 3rd line but they're 2nd line now, good offensive 4th line? that's going to play 3rd line, no idea why Ylonen's there but 4th line
Pairing that has sucked when we tried but best D's, probably better suited to be the 3rd pair but Romanov is earning his ice time, good 3rd pair if Clague can play right, tandem's fine considering the health of this team

price practiced in full gear today 👀
i hope they dont rush him back

This isn’t that bad, other than Ylönen playing with no help. They should’ve just called up Belzile if this is where he’s playing.

Arsen Khisamutdinov on waivers for contract termination

Joel Armia and Jeff Petry are closest to return from injury
Looking like Lehkonen - Poehling - Evans will be a line, not sure which one but im assuming second or third

Jake Evans doing some extra this morning so he won’t play. Looks like Jesse Ylonen will play. Jeff Petry also doing extra so he’s out tonight. @CanadiensMTL

hahahahah I can't believe it wow. Half the forward group are AHLers and Dom still finds a way to scratch his NHLers.

Hoffman - Suzuki - Lehkonen (why isnt hoffman on the right wing)
Drouin - Poehling - Armia
Perreault - Evans - Caufield (move caufield up a line ffs get him off a shut down line)
Pezzetta - Paquette - Dauphin/Ylonen

Chiarot - Savard
Kulak - Clague
Romanov - Wideman
Scheuneman - Petry (both not playing)

Allen
Montembeault

As SevenLeg said, looks like Evans out and Ylonen in. So my projected lines based off this idiot Ducharme's lines:

Hoffman - Suzuki - Lehkonen
Drouin - Poehling - Armia
Perreault - Dauphin - Caufield
Pezzetta - Paquette - Ylonen

Chiarot - Savard
Kulak - Clague
Romanov - Wideman

Allen

Evans is hurt

Also adding in that Toffoli is out for 8 Weeks.

I shouldn't have to say this, but if we were in the playoff hunt, half of these guys would be playing right now. It's clear we aren't going to be competing so it's perfectly fine to let anybody battling any sort of an injury to take their time.

Damn it, Dvorak's not back, my fantasy team is dying, I have 4 IR, 2 Out and 2 DTD and they're all good players so I won't drop them until they're back

Also, damn are we injured, the defence is okay, I guess, at least they're all NHLer's

We're near 4 injuries per team in my fantasy. Never seen that before

Anyone got stats on this? Like % more game missed to injuries this season vs. other seasons

Interesting nugget from Renaud Lavoie: Habs nearly sent Lehkonen to Blues for Sammy Blais last year. Deal fell through because 62 didn’t want to sign an extension

Thank **** Bergevin is gone.

And Lehky was on our 2nd line and scored the most important goal in the last nearly 28 years for this franchise. Thank goodness there’s no potential bad blood between him and management anymore.

can the habs keep lehkonen for like forever please
he's insane at clutch goal scoring and a good PKer + bottom 6er

I think the Blues are happy, I mean they still managed to get Buchnevich out of Blais lol.

Yep, Lehky’s great, one of my favourite players and I’m so happy I acquired him in the Gm Game for the small cost of a 5th +7th

there

Lines at practice:

Hoffman - Suzuki - Perreault
Drouin - Evans - Armia
Lehkonen - Poehling - Caufield
Pezzetta - Paquette - Dauphin/Ylonen

Chiarot - Savard
Kulak - Clague
Romanov - Wideman

Allen
Montembeault

my comments:

Perreault on the first line? and on RW? i dont get it... i thought Hoffman was a RW
second line not much to complain about. it's the best we can get. HOWEVER, Lehkonen's been playing well. Why not give him a shot? or give caufield a shot on that line too?
Third line is a model third line honestly
I wish Ylonen could play higher but that's prolly not possible. i wonder who they'll be playing tonight... im guessing dauphin if evans is still hurt

first pair. best of the bunch lol
second pair... would've liked to see romanov playing up there for his development, but i guess clague makes sense
third pair is a third pair


all in all, i honestly hope that they send Caufield, Ylonen, Poehling, MAYBE Romanov down and replace them with some older guys like Dea, Belzile, Vejdemo, Ouellet, Scheuneman, idk; but mainly for their development. playing under ducharme is ew
and MTL needs a better backup. if price is gonna be out long term then Allen needs some rest. Waive montembeault and add a better third string.

Evans is questionable for tonight, Tank Commander Petry may come back and Wideman won't play due to his wife giving birth soon

no clue how i missed this, but lets assume evans and petry are in for the fun

Hoffman - Suzuki - Perreault
Drouin - Evans - Armia
Lehkonen - Poehling - Caufield
Pezzetta - Paquette - Dauphin

Chiarot - Petry
Romanov - Savard
Kulak - Clague

Allen

YLONEN, first career goal
