I like theses lines, problem is you put 3 struggling players together with Tatar/KK and Armia.

Tatar is trying too hard passing through players ending losing the puck and taking a bad penalty.

KK is playing a grinding role instead of playing hockey. He should focus on making plays instead of always shooting and hitting players(which is a good thing but means you don’t own the puck).

Armia I’ll let him a few games, he’s always slow getting back from injuries then things heat up and he plays well.

Hopefully this line wake up. They’re big, they have skills and can put the puck in the net.

So, what’s everyone’s opinion on Lafreniere these days? Is he the next Alexandre Daigle? To early to tell? Can he turn it around?

Kakko is not exactly shooting the lights out either

most quebec swear words it's derived from a catholic church word, in this case hostie

hostie: the host: Christ's body, aka communion bread/wafers

Some others:
• crisse: Christ
• tabarnak (tabarnouche and tabarouette as less vulgar forms): tabernacle
• câlisse: chalice
• sacrament
• ciboire: ciborium, aka the container for the host (I don't think I've heard this one much as the rest)

I'm sure there are other words with which the gang here can chime-in.

(And no, Peanut, I did not get this from Wikipedia.)

This bye-week thing was really necessary in a "compressed schedule" season?

not a bad thing though, they get to practice and try new things, maybe they will score again on the PP eventually.

Apparently the thinking was to have a buffer, a place in the schedule where they could play postponed games if needed. Turns out we didnt need that in Canada but they couldnt know that beforehand

but wouldn't the buffers make more sense later in the season?

Also, if you lose a week, that makes the other games even more compressed, so you can't really reschedule a game after. That's a bit dumb in my opinion.

yep. a 48 games season would have been a bettter idea imo.

every team has a 5/6 days break I think, I see the Leafs are off for 5 days in mid-March

it would have made more sense but i understand why they wanted to squeeze in every game of tv revenue they could

it's probably an advantage for teams to have their break later in the season than in the first weeks, since players are usually more banged up by then

They'd make the most sense at the end of the regular season, prior to the playoffs.
