24-25 Montreal Canadiens Season Preview with Dom Luszczyszyn | The Puck Portfolio

I love this stupid league wide narrative that because somebody’s exceptional playing offense they’re incapable of playing defence. So lazy and stupid.

Under 90 points would be terrible. They're so underrated right now it's crazy. 5 point progession you guys are saying? If they stay healthy this team could easily push for a wildcard spot. They didnt have Dach last year. No laine. 20 + games missed for newhook and savard i think? Monahan traded. Pretty sure Guhle missed a decent amount of games too. 3 goalies rotation...cmon now

The defense is a lot better than people give them credit for and that is why they make the playoffs

How many one goal games did Montreal come out on the wrong end of? Turn that around and 15 to 20 extra points are not out of the question.

give primeau a far chance could surprise someone

On the podcast feed, the Aug 26 episode finally appeared, but the Aug 28 episode is still missing. Thanks for getting the podcast feed back up.

Montreal was always my team since the early 60's, I hope it will be a very good season for them, but with Montembeault & Primeau I don't know ?

I am taking the habs they have Laine now and Kirby if they get the goaltending they are they better then people realize go HABS go

Saying the Habs blueline is not very good that tells me that you have not really watched the Habs play

I think the habs will surprise a lot of people this year. I see them making the playoffs. Injuries as always.. an Achilles heel though.

🍻

I am a Habs fan but I don't see them making the playoffs this year, There are just too many better teams ahead of them and the Habs are terrible at getting the puck out of their own zone when they are under pressure. I would have kept Kovacevic and traded Baron. They don't need Baron for offence when we have Matheson, Maiyeau, and Hutson. I don't think that MSL can coach defense because of his lack of coaching experience! If they could pickup Sid, I think they could make one of the wildcard slots if everything goes well (no major injuries). I see them being a formidable team in 3 to 4 years from now.

You think 76 points is high for Nick Suzuki this year? How did you come to this conclusion when the entirety of last year he was constantly facing the opposing team's best line in the matchup, and the powerplay was absolute dog shit. When Dach left in the 4th period of the season, and sean monahan got dealt that's when he actually picked up steam lol. Throw Laine, or Dach on the powerplay and he's getting 76 points all day everyday.

I'm not saying this will happen.... would be great if it did , but for Laine - with a coach like Marty, with the type of atmosphere and culture that they are building and nurturing, and with a team of guys that have completely bought into what Kent is envisioning, and believing that they truly are the core that will compete all the way to Lord Stanley's beautiful mug, and the Precision and utmost care that the entirety of the management team has put into seeing that this team.... this team of the future.... this young team, growing together, learning together, building chemistry together, and being able to have the pieces that are about to fall into place, that will give them an honest to God chance at being something Great, something with an Actual Factual Seriously For Real Chance at being a lasting contender with a tangible endurance and very real threat in our division... Hell, in this league.... yeah, I believe Laine could have an undeniable career resurrection(and I'm not saying it died). It lay dormant and faded, and his surroundings - which involve a number of negative factors/(call them whatever you want, be it - thorns/ weights/ negative influences/ demons in his closet), in his life, that needed to be dealt with and walked away from. Yeah, maybe it'll be an awe-inspiring, life changing, and shocking career resurrection, and perhaps this is the Complete and necessary 180° turn around that the person - Patrick Laine, the player - Patrick Laine, and true teammate - Patrick Laine, needed to happen. Yeah, something inside me really really really believes that he will honestly, whole-heartedly, fight and battle every night with this group, this family of guys, this team of brothers, that all totally believe in each other just as much as they believe in themselves, and he'll leave every ounce of talent and determination out on that ice every night.... yeah, it could be spectacular.... who knows, right? But with all the signs, all the chess pieces that Kent the Magic man has gathered together(current roster players, and prospects with undeniable NHL star talent) and He has been checking ✔️ one box at a time, not missing a single detail, details that are needed.... needed to become..... ☆A Dynasty☆.... Yeah, I dream.... but come on...... Where there's smoke, there's fire 🔥, and this one? This flicker of hope?
WELL, THIS ONE is SO CLOSE!!!
BURN HOT, and BURN BRIGHT!!!
GO HABS GO!!!!!!
☆I believe☆

Never watch this shirt again
I hate how hockey bent over to Gambling
You suck

I say mtl will finish with 85-90 pts if they stay healthy

Don't sleep on Suzuki

Fun fact. The Habs have never missed the playoffs for more than 3 years in a row. If they miss the playoffs this year, it will be the first time in their 115-year history that they miss the playoffs 4 years in a row.

Btw, 82 points is bogus. They'll have 92 points minimum.
