So Chiarot-Savard revenge tour and Caufield's now a grinder?

that’s a stupidass line

also anyone know who’s back from injury? judging by Kotkaniemi15’s reply to me perreault is back but who else

quite the line lmao

Toffoli - Dvorak - Anderson
Drouin - Poehling - Armia
Lehkonen - Suzuki - Evans
Pezzetta - Perreault/Paquette - Caufield

Chiarot - Savard
Kulak - Petry (note on Kulak: last time he was on the site that i saw he was wearing 17, now he's wearing 7 apparently lmao)
Romanov - Wideman
Norlinder

Allen
Montembeault

Dvorak first line yikes
Poehling second line mmmmmmm i guess he deserves it
Suzuki third line WRONG DUDE TO PUT ON THE THIRD LINE
Armia, Lehkonen both too high in the lineup
Petry second pair is interesting
Send norlinder down already let him play

do i want to watch this game lul

They can't "send Norlinder down". It's either NHL or Sweden, that's why he's still on the roster

thats what im saying; send him to sweden to further his development
sorry should've clarified

The "only" problems i have with those lines are Caufield with Perreault and Pezzeta, Armia with Drou and Poehling, Chiarot-Savard lol, and Norlinder being scratched

Kulak is definitely not wearing #7, since it’s been retired for 84 years.

for sure he isnt just thought it was funny that the site messed up his number twice

Anderson and Toffoli both went to the room, Toffoli’s back but Anderson isn’t... i guess it was his turn to get injured?

oh boy

Anderson won’t come back, welp

will the hockey gods just LEAVE MTL ALONE for ONE SECOND

And apparently Allen might be hurt... again... and Primeau got hurt in the AHL so McNiven would be the call-up if we need it? Idk, man, this team just can’t catch a break

Laurent Dauphin has been called up to the NHL

Nice! Glad to see him get an opportunity back in the NHL, and I’m sure he’ll be happy to make his habs debut.

This is a blessing in disguise. We need to lose right now, not win.

Jeff Gorton is currently doing a press conference and he started in french so he's learning which is good. He wants a fast, skilled team, better player development ( obviously ) and more analytics ( as long as he doesn't go full analytics and pushes everything else away sure ). He'll wait and see before making any decisions ( obviously )

happy to see he’s focusing on speed. that’s how the team did so we’ll last year

List of quotes from Gorton's press conference https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/latest-news/2021/12/3/22815747/highlights-and-quotes-from-jeff-gorton-press-conference-montreal-canadiens-habs-general-manager

Petry will not travel to Nashville so i guess he's finally getting help for his clearly nagging injury, Schueneman has been called up

Biggest takeaway for me has to be that Gorton is going to "modernize" and bring in an Analytics team. That's a huge change.

As long as it doesn't end up like Arizona with Chayka

Lines at practice:

Lehkonen - Suzuki - Evans (bruh)
Drouin - Poehling - Armia (Armia what)
Hoffman - Dvorak - Caufield (finally not fourth line caufield)
Pezzetta - Perreault - Paquette/Dauphin (whats with Ducharme's addiction to playing LCs at RW lmao)

Chiarot - Savard/Kulak (so confused here)
Romanov/Norlinder - Wideman (play with three d-pairs ffs not two)

Allen
Montembeault


Toffoli took a therapy day
Petry isn't making the trip to NSH
Dauphin called up
Hoffman from what I know is still out, he was just practicing
Scheuneman (or however his name is spelled) was called up, but seemingly not early enough to practice with the team
