Not saying price can’t get on one/ can’t be good. But JB was on another planet, which he eventually came back to earth from last year.</div></div>

See my response to <a href="/users/leafs101" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@leafs101</a>.

Also, I think you’re forgetting Jeff Petry. Petry/Weber isn’t much different from Pietrangelo/Parayko. Again, I’m not saying we’re anywhere as good as St. Louis, I’m just drawing comparisons showing that teams built like this can win in the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>O'Reilly, Tarasenko, and Pietrangelo

EDIT: you said forward. O'Reilly and Tarasenko</div></div>

I think our definition of superstar is different. Tarasenko is a 70-75 point player, which if all goes well, Suzuki might be, in addition to being great defensively. He isn’t a top 50 forward in the league like <a href="/users/TheFlamingC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@TheFlamingC</a> is talking about. O’Reilly is a great forward, and probably a top 50 forward in the league, but he doesn’t have gamebreaking skill that few other players have, so his sort of responsibilities can be filled by other players. (Ie. defensively Danault is a match)

And I’m not saying that the habs are going to win anything, but the Blues showed that it’s possible to win without the McDavids, MacKinnons, and even Matthewses of the world.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheFlamingC</b></div><div>I’m talking superstar top 50 forward. Suzuki could be there at years end. I don’t think Gallagher has the offensive punch tho</div></div>

We may not have a superstar forward, but the Tatar - Danault - Gallagher line has been one of the best in the NHL in the past few years. And early results from the Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson line have been promising, and Suzuki has room to grow. We may not have a single player that can take over a game (other than Price), but if at least one of our lines is rolling, we’ll have a good shot at winning every night. And St. Louis didn’t have a superstar difference maker, but they still won the Stanley Cup. (Not that I think Montreal would make it that far, but just showing that a team with this sort of make up can do well.)

Alexander Romanov 1st NHL goal! Awesome, and he certainly didn’t need to wait as long as we did for our 3 previous rookie D in Fleury, Mete, and Juulsen. Lehky with a great shot, showing that great release that we don’t see enough anymore.

Really solid game for Allen. It appears we finally have a good backup for the first time since Jaroslav Halák was traded.

The PK was great, however the fact that they needed to be was disconcerting. The Armia penalty was a typical lazy Armia penalty, which isn’t great. I won’t fault Romanov &amp; Weber on the cross-checks though, since it seems like there’s a bit of a changing in the standards there. The other ones weren’t terrible, but the amount was what was dangerous.

Anderson’s absence scared me for a bit, but it’s good to see he’s ok. Also, Edmundson showed that he can definitely play on the right side if need be.

Also, Schiiler jinxed Carter Hutton’s shutout, which was funny.

Overall loving the habs game right now. (Other than the penalties.) Hopefully we can keep it rolling against a struggling Canucks team on Wednesday.
