and they signed armia to the exact same contract

Dominique Ducharme confirms Mattias Norlinder is in tomorrow.

I'm happy but it's just so dumb that Wideman is out for him.

The @GoldenKnights claims Adam Brooks off waivers. @CanadiensMTL

Good for him. Hopefully DeBoer will like him more than Ducharme does.

Well I’m going to the Laval Rocket vs. Toronto Marlies game tonight. Excited to watch Cole Caufield in person for the first time.

Friends of mine were also in Laval a week ago.

30 bucks for Caufield and a winning team > Centre Bell at $$$$

Wow, what an amazing game to watch live! The Rocket complete a comeback from 5-1 down topped off with a Cole Caufield game tying goal that ignited another building’s crowd and a nail-biting shootout victory.

Cole Caufield was the best player on the ice. (Duh) Josh Ho-Sang is also head and shoulders above his teammates.

Rafaël Harvey-Pinard scored after the Marlies goalie turned over the puck.

Gianni Fairbrother left the game early after taking 3 giant hits in his first few shifts. Martel blocked a shot with his wrist (I think) and left the game, returned for a shift, and left for good. The Rocket were down 5-1 with 5 minutes left in the 2nd and down to 16 skaters.

McNiven wasn’t great. He was pulled after 5 goals against, and in relief in his Rocket debut, Kevin Bureau-Poulin was a brick wall. He might steal McNiven’s job by the time Primeau gets back.

Soon later Bourque scored for Laval. 6 minutes later Louis Belpedio scored on a Rocket of a shot on the powerplay. Xavier Ouellet took a hooking penalty, but Lukas Vejdemo scored a SHG on a laser wrister.

With 7 minutes left in the 3rd, Cole Caufield intercepts the puck at centre ice speeds in on the right side of the offensive zone, and wires a wrister top-corner. You could hear and feel the excitement building as he skated in. That was the most incredible moment I’ve had watching a hockey game in person.

Laval was all over the puck for the rest of the 3rd, and after a back-and-forth overtime, the game went to shootout.

Cole Caufield scored the first goal of the shootout, and Josh Ho-Sang scored right after him. The next 9 shooters didn’t get anything. Joey Anderson scores, and the Rocket need to score to stay alive. Lukas Vejdemo rips a great wrist shot past Hutchinson to keep the Rocket in it. On Laval’s 9th shot, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard scores from forehand to backhand, and wins the game for the Rocket. Just an amazing experience.

caufield has been called back up, belzile to laval
caufield expected to play tonight

where yall thinking he plays? im thinking 3rd with armia and poehling (or evans)

We should surround Caufield with good players but not give him a high workload so I have no idea, those 2 things are kinda contradictory

unless you put him with anderson at LW and drouin at C on the third or second

Do you guys think these trade values are fair?

https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2910328

our GM status is "unknown". I don't see Bergevin making those kind of moves. He'll sell rentals and thats it. The only non-rental player that could be traded is a winger

I Disagree. I put just as much blame on Molson then I do Bergevin. Bergevin can't sell off everything without Molson's approval, nor can he sell without his approval (My personal opinion I don't have any proof one way or the other). I think Molson will be the one who wants to rebuild, and when that time comes, Bergevin won't be the GM (even though I hope he is)

Yep, this is Montreal you're not really allowed to suck which is why we don't really do rebuild, Bergevin's done a good job building with what he can

And it's crazy how bad this team is. IMO, we are worse, but not much worse than last year. I think after losing Weber + Perry + Danault, we are seriously lacking leadership right now. It's not even about the talent on the ice IMO. There's no reason this team should be bottom 4 in the standings (2nd worse point%)

I mean not having Price & Eddy hurts on & off the ice. This has just been a nightmare season for most of the team.

Dominique Ducharme confirme que l'alignement de ce soir comportera 11 attaquants et 7 défenseurs. Wideman prendra la place de Pezzetta.Ducharme confirms that the team will play with 11 forwards and 7 defenseman tonight. Wideman will enter the lineup in place of Pezzetta.

... i dont get why this is happening

My guess is they don't want to make Pezzetta waivers eligible again since tonight would have been his 10th game.

So send him down and perhaps let him play tonight? Clueless management man

lines at practice
yes i am advertising my acgm

That makes sense, Toffoli-Suzuki-Caufield was a great line in the playoffs last year, Drouin-Dvorak-Anderson has been a great line this year, Lehky-Evans-Gally is a great checking line and you'd assume Hoffman would replace Lehky here when he comes back, Pezzetta-Poehling-Armia is kinda best of the rest but is a decent mix of everything. Edmundson skating is great, you'd have to assume Norlinder is sent down when he comes back, Allen being back is great too
