jennifer_rocket Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Hmm. I guess we'll see what the Canadiens pre-season squad is really made of tonight. Can we stay unbeaten in the pre-season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_rocket Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Looks like Price might be starting again tonight. Third start of the pre-season. Odd. Karl Alzner also playing this evening. Charles Hudon has to do something or it could be waivers for him. Cale Fleury and Josh Brook continue their audition for a NHL roster sport.

I'd imagine that Carey will get one more tune-up game, besides this one. Alzner plays,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,we lose. Ya, not much there. Yup, they're playing good right now.

kinot-2 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Here's tonight's full Habs' lineup: Tatar - Domi - Drouin Hudon - Kotkaniemi - Armia Cousins - Thompson - Belzile Peca - Evans - Barber Chiarot - Petry Alzner - Brook Kulak - Fleury Price Kinkaid As for the Leafs, they've basically sent the Toronto Marlies to town as their best player in tonight's lineup is arguably Kenny Agostino. ^^^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the results but he's look a lot better than he did pretty much all of last year. If we want to have 3 scoring lines - and enough talent to play next to Domi, Danault and JK - we need a guy like Hudon to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pairing was designed for Alzner to prove he can cover Brook butt, but Brook better be aware of who is on his left if he wants to continue to push for that spot. I also hope that Alzner plays well enough that either someone picks him up off waivers or his trade value goes up enough that a team will take a chance on him at a retained cap transaction but not well enough that CJ adds him to our roster lol.

If we play the split squad again we likely get creamed. Kapanen – Tavares – Marner Johnsson – Matthews – Nylander Mikheyev – Kerfoot – Timashov Moore – Gauthier – Spezza Muzzin – Barrie Rielly – Ceci Sandin – Marincin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Alzner would win the top pairing in Laval over Leskinen or Sklenicka? I am not being sarcastic just surprised, I would have thought that if Alzner was sent to Laval he would be playing 2nd pair at best in more of a mentoring role.

I am not being sarcastic just surprised, I would have thought that if Alzner was sent to Laval he would be playing 2nd pair at best in more of a mentoring role. Im not sure tbh. For a while at least he was getting top pairing minutes there last year & I think Bouchard said he really thought his game was good at the AHL level. So who knows. I agree that a guy like Leskinen has a considerably higher ceiling although in laval a lot of it is teaching specific skills/abilities - which is why Bouchard does things like play D men on their off sides or playing defensive guys on the PP or offensive guys on the PK. I think Alzner will be in the top 4. I could see Bouchard doing Alzner-Brook and Leskinen-Ouellette or something so that each rookie had a vet to line up next to, even though Leskinen-Brook may well be in the NHL before the end of the season.

I honestly don't think we will play the split squad on Wednesday anyway it's getting too close to the regular season. They will soon start setting the lines and trying to build chemistry.
