Kapanen looked good !!
Dvorak is really good on faceoffs but that’s it…time for a change👍
Yeah he's terrible, has no offensive component to his game and costs too much. Thank you Bergevin.
We never really do notice him… i mean, he plays safe. There's not a lot of offensive going on with his game, but he usually plays well on the defensive side of the game.. but yeah, he's pretty unnoticeable.
Thing is he is earning his spot. The fact he can't be in Laval to be called up. And must return to the SHL. Means he has to stay and either Dvorak or Evans must go. And yes I know nobody want to trade Evans yet. But he can be traded easier. I think Dvorak would clear waiver.
I saw the game and Kapanen's line had more to play for so they showed up more on the eye test. But the one thing that Kapanen did that really embarassed Dvorak was the faceoff. He finished with 57% while Dvorak had a loosy 43.8% and it's his strength! If Kapanen shows similar ability in the faceoff in his next appearence, then I will agree that Dvorak is in trouble.
As a Finnish hockey fan I'm not at all surprised how well Kapanen did. He just played his game like he always does.
i think the spot is his an Christian has to earn the spot…. imo
Take it easy! Give Dvorak a chance to get his legs back… My guess is, the team really needs him to do well so that he caaannnn be traded.
If you saw the interview with Christian last night, he's clearly shook up about being sent down.
Trade dvo for picks
Oust Dvorak and introduce Kapanen ASAP, this kid has it all, grit, talent Hi Hockey IQ, what else do you need to see? Put Dvorak on waivers to send him to the American League or trade him and keep Kapanen on the team in the NHL,
I see kapanen at center with laine and dach on either side. Both laine and kapanen are Finnish so that's a plus as well.
Newhook centres Roy and Anderson on the 3rd.
Dvorak sits til they trade em for anything
Kapanen is not going home
I see an Evans trade not Dvo
Dvorak has a 4.45 cap hit, no team would want that, the Habs might have to ride out this one, and a few more.
It could be Evan’s moving, how many right shot C can you have? And Dvorak’s contract isn’t moveable right now.
Kapanen deserves to be on the habs
I kept my eye on the Kapanen and Dvorak last night.. by my count Dvorak killed 4 of 5 opportunities he had to make a play.. he was hurting the team. Kapanen totally outplayed him.
If we don’t graduate more than just Hutson and Roy as rookies this year, that means next year we will have 5 rookies (Kapanen, Demidov, Beck, Reinbacher and Mailloux).. that’s a lot of rookies for 25/26..
Remember, last year Hughes didn’t hesitate to waive Armia.
Kapanen was the best player on the ice not named Laine-Hutson.
Other than Hudson, Oliver was the best player on the ice from both teams. That's why he got 2nd star. He's definately a keeper. I hope he stays and plays. We are going to sneak into the playoffs. If you got some extra money it might be worth a thought, just sayin. Cheers
Sorry Lego, you don't have hockey smarts and then it goes away. That never happens. They just get better.
there he is ! C Dvorak s played himself OFF the team }} waivers ?..but keep Armia }}} (( ? Barron; and Pezetta can be mooved ))
Kapanen has jumped Beck and Dvorak. I'd put him as the Next center after Joshua Roy.
Dvorak has to go…weve waisted enough time with him.
