Let's check in on the Habs defence after four games.
English
@glefrancoisLP Comme dans le bon vieux temps des Devils de Jacques Lemaire! Regroup-trappe-regroup-trappe devant les bancs pendant 59 minutes et ça finit avec un blanchissage pour Martin
Français
Par ailleurs, voici les joueurs qui ont été sur la patinoire pour le plus de chances de marquer de l'adversaire cette saison (100 minutes minimum)
1- Je ne m'attendais pas à ce nom-là au dernier rang
2- Ça ne finira pas 2-1 ce soir

@BWildeMTL Dude just knows how to play. Smart, extremely adaptable, mentally tough. Not sure I’ve ever seen a prospect go from cut/ignored/afterthought to the top line at seemingly every level. It’s a great story!
English
I’ve watched both Rocket games this weekend.
Love
Roy
Beck
Davidson
Mailloux
Engstrom
Like and watch out for
Tuch
Gonna be tough from here for
Farrell
Big surprise for me was Davidson. So heady and physical enough to win many pucks. Tuch big boy smart throws it.

@glefrancoisLP 1-0 avec les tirs 14-12 et la glace de la zone neutre su’l béton
Français
(évidemment, maintenant que j'ai écrit ça, ça va finir 2-1)

@JesseGranger_ What’s crazy to me is the last half-push with his left leg almost completely extended (and his hands, especially the glove, kinda behind him). Do not try this at home!
English
At this point he’s in the slide, still heading for the original spot.
Then Trocheck gets a piece of the puck with his outreached stick, which deflects it toward the net and changes the angle that the recipient (Josh Norris) will get to the puck.
English
@AndrewBerkshire Also can't discount Sick Boy's theory from Trainspotting: "at one point you've got it, then you lose it, and it's gone forever - all walks of life."
Sometimes it's injuries, sometimes not (see the case of Gomez, S.)
English
Really have to put injury history into context for how rough Dvorak has been.

@glefrancoisLP Le bon Earl a eu un rôle déterminant dans un des tristes chapitres de l’histoire du CH:
Français
Et avec 89 buts, Cole Caufield est 1357e dans l'histoire de la LNH, à égalité avec Colby Armstrong et Earl Seibert

@perreaux @brendanshowbiz Meh. They only have one young D that I would qualify as excellent, they have some top-6 forwards on the way. It's not like you can't trade for an elite-ish top pair defenceman or two at modest cost when the cap dead wood goes away (see Boston, Carolina, VGK, NJD, EDM, etc.)
English
@brendanshowbiz @MrSeanGordon They're just going to have to trade some excellent young defencemen for some very good older defencemen. I'd hate it if I was a fan, but I don't see a choice.

Le narratif autour du CH commence à changer.

Plusieurs jeunes blessés. D’autres qui stagnent. Aussi, une défensive qui concède autant de buts que pendant l’annus horribilis 2021-22. Le Canadien frappe-t-il un premier mur dans sa reconstruction? Ma chronique. lp.ca/4QzxrK?sharing…

Kent Hughes traveling with an Ivan Demidov sized empty suitcase for no reason.
/r/Habs@HabsOnReddit
Elliotte Friedman on the Habs brass planning to visit Ivan Demidov in Russia 🇷🇺 soon: “The moment the MTL Canadiens drafted him, they made plans that at some point in time they would eventually go in the season to watch him, visit him, check & see how he’s doing. They are scheduling that trip now. It’s gonna take place sometime over the next few weeks to months. They are going to go over to see (Ivan Demidov) play, perform, practice & get a first hand look at how he is….the MTL Canadiens & their GM Kent Hughes will go over to see him.”
English
@AndrewBerkshire @MarcPDumont Fair enough, most fun since 76 then. But Hutson does Datsyuk-ian puck carrying stuff PK could only dream of (and would put Michel Therrien in the hospital)
English
@MarcPDumont @MrSeanGordon Subban was also so fun off the ice, on a team that was largely allergic to that.
English
@AndrewBerkshire I can remember seeing some decent rookies in that uni but never a more fun one.
English
@MrSeanGordon They’ve gotta be flying off the shelves
English
@MarcPDumont Problem's on the other side of the ice, imo. Barron can't win a battle in his own end and Savard, well, he's been un-good to the point where you wonder if he's hurt or something. What they need is Reinbacher.

So much traffic. So much traffic not getting cleared out at all. The D corps needs to box out and get a bit nastier as well.

Lane Hutson, in game 4 of his NHL career, is causing veteran guys to hesitate before getting too close to him - unpredictability is terrifying to the NHL defender even if the other guy is just wee
