Habs Season Preview
Coming off a second-to-last place season, improving should not be difficult. With the addition of Seguin & Hall via trade, and Marleau & Sekera via UFA signings- this years Habs hope to be playoff team.
Graduating from ECHL, and making the jump straight to the CPHL are; Pavel Zacha and Cristian Dvorak. Zacha is slated for the 3rd line but Dvorak will be playing over his head- centre of 2nd line. Hopefully the balance of youth and vets will give me a some good sim chemistry and it works out. If not, there will be changes.
We were getting good results in the preseason, so we hope it continues. Somewhat of an oddity, Hall lead the league in points, during the preseason with 19 in 12 games. However, Seguin had only five. Interesting to see how it plays out during the season. But, as long as we are winning- nobody cares who gets the points.
Opening night line-up:
Hall 76- Seguin 78- Forsberg 75
Marleau 75- Dvorak 69- Gagner 71
Zacha 67- Tierney 68- Nieto 66
Karlsson 66- Mueller 67- Schneider 66
Seabrook 73- Sekera 72
Stone 69- Cole 69
Murphy 69- Martin 66
Miller 77
Saros 70
