In this episode, Justin and Liam break down the Canadiens’ revamped lineup, featuring their latest acquisition, Patrik Laine. With Laine in the mix, the big question is: who will claim the coveted 6th spot in the Habs’ top 6? Will it be Newhook, Roy, or perhaps another familiar face? Tune in as the guys tackle these burning questions and more!

Very interesting. Next year will be a transition year and we will see experimentations. Out of respect for Caufield Suzuki and Slafkofski, they will start the season as the first trio. The addition of Laine will disrupt the other trio's quite a lot. I can't wait to see what St-Louis will do with that. I like Newhook and Roy. They both have great potential which we haven't fully seen yet. Don't laugh but good old Gallagher manages to deliver year after year and in front of the net he is one of the best. Dach and Laine need a grinder to disrupt things in front of the net. It is a complex topic and I can't wait to see it unfold.
It's dock, not dack.
On the sick podcast they are big on what they coined "The 123 line." Slaf/Dach/Laine are 1st,2nd,and 3rd overall picks. How could you defend against it? I think this is what you will see once Demidov enters the lineup. Suzuki/Caufield/Demidov will be 1a line. Can't wait! Cheers
Newhook, Roy and RHP on the third line. Crazy
I think the first powerplay will be Laine/Suzuki/Slaf/Matthews/Newhook. 2nd powerplay Caufield/Dack/Roy/Hudson/Guhle. Thats a good mix. Laine plays 2nd line with Dach and Caufield plays with Suzuki. This way the shooters are separated and they get to play with both Suzuki and Dach. Balance.
This may be the best powerplay in Habs history when Demidov arrives. Laine/Suzuki/Slaf/Hudson/Demidov. Each one from a different nation. Wow!!!
Habs get a matured Laine in his prime for a respectable price, the timing is nearly perfect for the habs aswell I can't wait for the season to begin
Roy is a top 6 indeed.
Interesting facts: Struggling Laine still got 117 points in last 129 games. Boone Jenner was 1c and Gaudreu was in different line most of those games.
7 first round picks with the forwards what other playoff team has ?? that??
Good discussion, guys! Subscribed!
Joshua roy with laine and dach would be awesome.
Gotta put Slav with Laine Dach at center. Monster line
Put 1st 2nd third picks on one line.
Kid fuck the intro
2:14 3rd line is bad. 4th line alright i guess.
Deadwood pile
Anderson
Gallagher
Dvorak
More. Need to look roster
To start the year:
Caufield – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
Laine – Dach – Roy
Newhook – Evans – Gallagher
Anderson – Dvorak – Armia
Eventually during the season:
Laine – Suzuki – Roy
Caufield – Dach – Slafkovsky
Newhook – Evans – Gallagher
Anderson – Dvorak – Armia
D pairings for the whole year:
Matheson – Guhle
Hutson – Savard
Xhekaj – Barron/Mailloux
To me, that would be the powerplay situation;
Powerplay 1
Laine – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
Hutson – Roy
Powerplay 2:
Caufield – Dach – Newhook
Matheson – Guhle
Dvorak is our 3rd C. I think newhook will play with Dach and Laine to begin.
Insane??? With Gallagher, Armia, Anderson, Evans, Pezzetta, Dvorak. They're all ghosts on the 200 feet. And Savard, Barron, Struble ouf not easy too. They have 1 good Goalie, 4 good defenses and 6 good offense so guy's give me a brake. I'm ch all the way sins i can skate and i don't see them ready for playoff yet. And there is no enjury yet so imagine. 11 good players of 24 is not a big line up for me. Sorry guy's to blow your balloon. But it is what it is
Id put Roy on the second unit
I just don’t get this line up??? Top two lines are pretty obvious. Now the issue is who plays on the second line with Laine and Dach. I would look at either Roy or Armia.
Admia had a great end to the season and he is a veteran, so ai may start with him.
Roy Newhook Armia line did look great last year but I would put Gally there instead of Armia to start.
As for fourth line, who cares !!! We don’t have the proper wingers to play with Evans.
When I saw you guys put Anderson on the point of the Habs power play is when I realized you guys didn’t know shit about this team.
team got worse with Laine waste of cap enjoy your locker room cancer habs, haha.
Y'all will be garbage. Chill.
Naw, slaf, su and cau will stay in tacked. Slaf had a 8 and 9 point streak, records in 100 year organization.
Roy Newhook and Armia 3rd line Anderson will play top 6 nothing to loose have to try to get his game back top line will the Kirby Dack and Slaf and Lain
Caufield was more a playmaker this season with Nick and Juraj. I really hope he will be a sniper a gain this season and get his confidence back. (Sorry bad English I’m french Canadian)
LOL y'all are cringier than Leafs fans
Anderson and Gallagher are three years from their final season not 2 like Laine! Price contract comes off at the same time as Laine! Do your homework boys besides that good podcast
I really hope Armia play in PP in this season. He is really good making goals.
Habs are not making the playoffs this season boys, I'm sorry to inform you but Montreal will probably finished last in the Atlantic, we need to lower our expectations this team is still a work in progress
I just hope they stay healthy this year.
