Has anyone here used bet99.net or the play alberta site yet? If so, how are they?

What's happening in Montreal? Lots of pressure right now on everyone on that team. Calls for Caufield and Romanov to be sent down to the A in fear that they'll get ruined if they stay up, Gallagher, Petry, Toffoli, Anderson all struggling.

Is Bergevin going to pull the trigger early like last year and get rid of the head coach? Too extreme, right?

Montreal getting to the Finals was the worst thing for that club. Ducharme, imo, is a terrible coach, but because Price went into God-mode, they almost had to extend him, especially after the Caps let Trotz go when they actually won the Cup.

They're just not a very good team, and they lost some key guys, and expectations were sky-high. Not a good situation.

It was the best thing for that club. #### Montreal forever.

Just a reminder that the Flames in their debacle of a season won more games than Montreal last year

Watching the canucks… specifically Petterson. He’s still a young center with a lot of skill and potential. Watching him in his rookie season he looked like a sure fire bet to be a year away from being a top 5 centre in the league.

I’m sure I’m just exaggerating right now because he’s struggling to start the season… but maybe he’s more on a trajectory of RNH… a skilled centre who will consistently produce 60-80 points that struggles with injuries and physical play.

Like I said… it could be just a slump for him. He is still young and has a lot of runway left to develop into a top tier centre. He’s just reminded me more of RNH in the last two years in terms of his effect on the game.

Pettersson is really slumping right now. No confidence at all in himself right now and you can see it in his play. The shortened training camp seems to have hurt him more than Hughes. It's still early, but a lot of the off season chatter was about how much the Canucks would score but it's been the complete opposite as they are dead last in 5 on 5 scoring chances.

memphusk · 10-29-2021, 09:02 PM

Good. I like them being terrible also.

Every team has different expectations/goals for a season. There are some teams that planned on taking a big step this year and turn into contenders. Florida and Carolina are right on track for that step as they would have hoped they would be. Other teams think they are ready to take a big step and completely fall flat on their face… that’s Chicago this year. They traded away picks and prospects to get Seth Jones and are now bottom of the league. This could be a disaster for Chicago - not just this year but for years to come.

The coyotes are pretty much right on track with what their plan for the season seemed to be… tanking. They have a ridiculous amount of picks accrued and are right on pace for a top 3 pick in a draft with tons of high end talent.

A funny one is Buffalo. This has to be the worst that their line up has looked in years and yet they are having a fantastic start to the season. This is almost detrimental to the plan of the organization in some ways because they were probably hoping for a big pick this year (again). At the same time, if there is any team that is tired of finishing at the bottom of the league, it’s probably the sabres. That said… I think they will need to find something to replace eichel somehow and you usually have to find that high in the draft.

I had a sneaky feeling that they would have a dead-cat bounce with Eichel permanently off the roster, just because the coaches can slot players for best results and not worry about keeping one player happy. I didn't expect them to bounce this high, though.

I was a jerk to Corsi about Hintz and he’s no where to be seen… who in the world plays better pre surgery than post!?

Knightslayer · 10-31-2021, 05:11 PM

Hintz is still a stud but something is rotten in Dallas.

Came in here wondering why there would be a thread about the Atlanta airport in the NHL forum, leaving disappointed.

Not only is Montreal losing, they are also looking awful while doing it.

memphusk · 11-01-2021, 09:47 AM

Yes. Thats fantastic.

1qqaaz · 11-01-2021, 09:54 AM

I love how there are probably many Hab fans who are genuinely surprised that the team is bad.

Jiri Hrdina · 11-01-2021, 10:49 AM

Habs sent down Cole Caufield today which is the right move. Let the kid re-gain his confidence down in the A.

I wish teams were more patient with prospects. This is not the NFL players are not old enough to be expected to be ready right away. If a rookie is not 100% dominant they should move to a league where they can be.
