StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The absence of Kapanen (and Newhook filling in on the second line) really illustrates why the Habs need a 2C or another top 6 winger. It's not that Newhook is bad there, but that the third line needs Newhook on it. Everyone in their right chair as Marty says. 050
StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Lots of exasperated comments about the Habs giving up a goal early and how it's like last season... Well, last season they had 106 pts and went to the Conference final so. 280
StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I didn't see last night's games so I'm watching the home one now... I think Danault likes playing with Slafkosky. I don't think I've ever seen him skate so fast. Perhaps he's trying to keep up with Newhook? 030
StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 27/09/2026@mndamico.bsky.social I watch every Starr and D'Amico show, and you guys are always good, but your show today was exceptional.

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026@mccagg.bsky.social I made it a point to watch the defense of Dach you produced. I didn't see much of the game against Toronto, opting for the home game, and when I did flip to that game, analyzing Dach's game wasn't a top priority. However, watching his shifts in isolation on your video, it's... 141

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I have concerns about Bolduc. He can shoot. He can forecheck. But that's where it ends for him. I don't see any signs that he has more to his game (although he's young). Can he be an effective player on this Habs team with a limited skill set? I'm not convinced. 100

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Trump is at it again, escalating the trade war he started with Canada. As I Canadian I wish we'd put a 100% export tax on all oil, electricity and pot ash going into the US (the things Trump won't tariff because the US depends on them). Use that money to support businesses affected by his tariffs. 110
StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Just seeing a CNN poll showing the mid-terms are 50/50. How this is not 70%+ for Democrats is beyond me. I'm so done with the US. I feel bad for those who oppose Trump, but there's too many Americans who still support what's going on. It's sickening. Stop all trade with the US! We're done. 7300

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 13/07/2026The longer we wait for Arber Xhekaj to get a new contract with the Habs, knowing his opportunity on D is very limited, and that the Habs want more size and grit in the bottom six, the more I am on the side of trying him as a fourth line forward, who could play D in the event of an in-game injury. 3111

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The more I think about the Habs' top six needs this off-season, the more I lean toward getting another play driving, physical winger rather than a C. Let Kapanen have another year at it, and let's see if Hage is ready to step in at the end of this season or the next one. 590

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026@arponbasu.bsky.social with regard to Suzuki vs Hutson's views on where the Habs are at, I think both are valid perspectives.

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Goaltender interference always confounds me. Stankhoven runs into Dobes and that causes him to have to lift his left pad off the ice (or fall over) allowing Hall to swat the puck under the pad. That 100% should have been disallowed. Did the refs think the interference was Hall and only look at him? 060
StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 28/05/2026If the Habs go down 3-1, I'd use game 5 as an opportunity to play some of the Black Aces (or maybe all of them), plus Gallagher, and I'd start Fowler.

StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Well, that sucked. Clearly the Habs have to find a way to get more "quality" shots at the net. But even with the shot total tonight, the Habs had a lot of chances to win this game.any of their non-shots were good chances again. Need to zero them in. 130
StephenWLee @gullpondguy.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I can't believe the number of fans turning off the game because it's going to OT. Do you think the shot totals indicate the Canes are going to win? The Habs have had a goal called back because Cole was 1/4" offside, and hit the post. Two "shots" that didn't count. Quality, not quantity. 480
