Gallagher is a middle 6 RW and Kotkaniemi is a 3rd line center. That's the realistic truth.

i was thinking top 6 for gally but kk in the playoffs performed like a 2c
so i would personally say that gally is a top 6 rw and KK is a middle 6 F
but gallagher is not, and likely never will be, a top 10 rw leaguewide

Canada = Forwards
USA = Defense
Russia = Goaltending

We might be seeing Canada as #1 slipping. IMO USA college hockey has overtaken the CHL in terms of development.


EK looks good this season so imagine a Hedman-EK pairing for Sweden oof

Not a Hot take - Karlsson hasn’t even played as good as he did last year for a bit (not the whole year), he’s just getting the points cause the offensive is finally playing well infront of him. And we don’t get 3+ goals against a period.

Evander Kane really must've been a major cancer, I think his absence is a major reason for why SJ is having a great start this season

The same could be said for some guy named Jack Eichel 👀

I was having a discussion with my brother JetsCanesSens about that. He thought they were fine. I said they were terrible. Glad I found someone who shares my view.


I didn't say they that good.

Gally is definitely not a top 10 RW anymore. He was really good with Danault and Tatar, but on his own he can’t reach those heights. Plus it remains to be see if his scoring touch will ever return to his past effectiveness after his injury last year.

Over the past 3 seasons he’s been a top 10 rw. Scores goals at an elite rate, great at both ends of the ice.

The Habs are cursed against the Red Wings, so tonight is probably not the night they score more than 1 goal.

I’m hesitant on saying Eichel is an issue because idk if we can go from;

Eichel : I don’t like losing

=

Kane : hey I lost 50million dollars and I forced an abortion among other things 🙃

However if keeping Hertl means paying Kane to stay at home I mean… sign me up🥲🥲

I'm really considering going to the game tonight. I found some $27 tickets. I don't recall ever seeing such low prices, the crappy performances and the vaccine passport is really hurting the attendances. On the other hand this crappy product does not deserve anyone to pay money for it.

I mean at least they don’t have Bernier anymore. The last time we played Detroit and Bernier wasn’t the starter was the 8-1 win in February 2019.

That was such a great game to watch on TV. I can’t imagine what it’d be like in person.

The only time I’ve been to a habs game was a March 2017 4-2 loss against Chicago. Weber scored late in the 3rd and it was Carey’s 500th NHL game. I also remember being surprised that Beaulieu was going to be a healthy scratch, lol.

That is cheap, but as someone who’s been to games in Ottawa, it can be a kind of normal price

Nolan Foote is playing against Cal Foote tonight in the AHL.
The first Battle of Feete begins tonight I guess.

Reminds me of Lightning tickets between '12-'14. Great seats at great prices and the Triplets were just emerging. Winning sucks tbh.
