OK Guys, it’s time to take a look at the past few seasons.. and break down the Habs “lack of goal scoring issue”. Aside from Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, there hasn’t really been a whole lot of guys around who can find the back of the net. But with Patrick Laine added to the lineup.. Juraj Slafkovsky taking big steps forward, and a hungry Kirby Dach ready to get back into action.. Who will lead the MTL Canadiens in goal scoring next season?
The articles that were in the video were screenshots from Habsfanatics.com, I highly reccommend you to check out this site for further Habs News,
Let me know whatcha think of this one down in the comment section!

I want to say Caufield but I think Slaf is going to be a goal beast and lead them , Zuk with more points over all and Cole a hard 2nd and Laine 3rd if put on the 1st pp
If you go through the lineup top to bottom, and give an honest guestimation (with tempered expectations) on goal totals for each player, its pretty impressive and exciting. Even if you adjust for injury and a bit of over enthusiasm it's still a playoff number. Yet I still have a hard time seeing them being anywhere higher than fighting for a wildcard. Very interesting.
Caufield's +/- has risen drastically under the tutelage of MSL. Mid 30's this year is my prediction.
Lane hutson with 50 goals this season.
My TOTs are…Thomas…TAAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaarrrrrrr
Players who can score five goals in a single game are hard to come by, and Laine is part of that club, can't wait for the season to start!!
I'll believe it when I see it. If Montreal's physical condition is on par with previous seasons we'll have all of those guys on the IR list before December and we'll watch some no-names trying to feed Pizzeta's terrifying goal scoring abilities.
Just think of Laine's attitude when he's surounded by 36 reporters after the first PRE-season game asking why he didn't score and if he can say 3 words in french… He'll be begging for a trade prior to the season start 🙂
Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see them score goals and be a good team, finally. I'll just believe it when I see it. Not any time earlier.
If Laine play 80 games, we should withness….40 goals at least. Ça fait tellement longtemps que nous attendons cela. And maybe Cole gonna take that as à challenge ahd score 41….
Armia memes will never not be funny 😂😂😂😂
Here we go, my unbias predictions (if they stay healthy):
Laine: 35 goals
Caufield: 32 goals
Suzuki: 28 goals
Slaf: 28 goals
Dach: 20 goals
Newhook: 18 goals
I enjoy your videos ! Cant wait this season to start! Go Habs Go
Think laine is gonna push caufield to the 2nd line can we be mad about it 🤔
Heres what Jojo medium told me!
Laine 39
Caufield 35
Suzie and Slaf 25
Armia and Dach 20
Powerplay will be fun to watch!
Pezzetta will dominate this team in all categories. He’ll be the runaway MVP of the Habs!! 😂
I really hope for a friendly and deadly competition with cole and laine. Could make the difference for a spot in series and it could create a huge surprise 🤞
Health. They need to stay healthy ! I say Laine
Increase for Caufield, Laine, and Slaf. But Slick Nick will take it again!!
36 goals caufield(71 points), 32 goals laine (60 points), 28 goals thick nick(83 points), 25 goals slaf (68 points), 19 goals newhook(48 points) and 19 goals dach 50 points, 17 roy (38 points), anderson and gally both hit 17 goals as well. matheson gets 13 goals and 53 points, lane gets 11 goals and 47 points
Slafkovsky
Caufeild 41 goal,laine 35,Suzuki 32,Slaf 30
Get better soon. Only 10 sleeps left until the preseason.
I think Brendan Gallagher if he played a full season could score over 20 goals this year. Gallagher still has the talent to score a lot of garbage goals around the net. His hand eye is still excellent. His compete is still at a high level around the net. At 32 he is not an old man. Montreal should have more puck control this year and that will benefit Gallagher. He will get time on the second and third lines.
Healthy Laine 35+
Healthy Caufield 35+
Healthy Suzuki 30~
Healthy Slafkovsky 25+
Healthy Dach 20~
Healthy Newhook 20~
Healthy Roy 15-20
Healthy Gallagher 15~
Healthy Armia 15~
Healthy Dvorak 10~
Healthy Anderson 10~
Healthy Evans 10.
But can they stay healthy ?
Suzuki will Finnish as leader with 37
Hard to predict, but I would say the Finn,the newfoundland kid,and the American finished 1 2 3 in scoring forwards for the Habs this year.. just my unprofessional opinion. Lol.
Mario Armia, Come on!
Secondary scoring from the D… Hutson and Arber Xhekaj… Now that's another topic.
Laine will explode!
My heart says Slaf
But my brain says Suzuki or Laine
A little bit of MSL TLC — love it — love our coach! Since getting hooked on this channel I don’t think I have ever been to excited to see the new season start. Keep up the awesome work hockey junkie. 👍
If Laine is healthy he will score 40 ish
The fact that we are talking about 3 guys with the potential to reach 30+ goals and maybe 4 if Slavsila get it going is pretty amazing in MTL. Will Dach join in???? Man I am so excited for this weekend’s games against the baby Maple Laughts…..the future of the Habs on display against a hated rival !!! #GOHABSGO
My vote is for Caufeld. 🏒🥅✨️
Newhook will benefit the most from Dachs return and Laines presence.
Cole will break out, second Laine, close to him Slavkovsky
It feels wrong that Laine is the highest-paid player on the team. It can’t feel good for Nick Suzuki to be the captain and yet the second-highest paid player behind Laine.
its 🦆's year
Caulfield led the team by far in shots around a hundred more than Nic, but had a very low under 9% scoring percentage. That can’t happen on a winning team. He should be more of a set up guy or in the bumper spot on the # PP.
Team’s are anticipating his schtlck. If he focuses less on shooting, Slav will reach 30 goals and I could see Suzi and him reach 30 as well. If Dach pans out Laine will get close to 40. Dach should be the straw that stirs this drink. His health will be the biggest task for the Habs build this year.
If every Hab increases their productivity by 1% and both Dach and Laine have the bounce-back we're all hoping to see then this team will be an absolute thorn in the side of the Eastern conference probably less than 10 points out of a playoff spot if not even better than that.
Hey @HockeyJunkie – I always wanted to know, do you make your own videos all by yourself? Or did you have a producer like Steve Dangle does?
Habs suck
Je pense que Laine va jouer un rôle de grand frère. (Had to say this is french, otherwise it wouldn't work).
