It's time for the conversation to switch to Dubas from Sully. Use the Caps as the argument. The Caps are in 1st in the Metro. Caps: 18GP: 13W-4L-1OT and a +28 Goal Differential +28 is 2nd overall in the league Pens: 21GP: 7W-10L-4OT and a -26 Goal Differential -26 is worst in the league (-21: Sharks is 2nd in the league) The Blue Jackets have played only 18 games and only have 2 less points than the Pens at 16 points and a -4 Goal Differential. Pens are 1st in Goals against with 83. The Sharks are 2nd at 71. The Caps are 7th at 50. To bad Ovechkin got hurt because the Caps were a DUBAS REVELATION. Dubas destroyed the end of 87 and 71's careers. Dubas brought in all garbage players. It is obvious Dubas can't do player or coach evaluations. Dubas' crap free agents and moves: Ryan Graves, Matt Grzylek, Erik Karlsson, and signing Jarry. COMPARE THAT TO THE CAPS GM. Dylan Strome, Rasmus Sandin, Jakob Chychrun, Vrana, Charlie Lindgren, and Logan Thompson. Not to mention before Dubas in 2019 The Caps drafted Connor McMichael in the 1st round 25th overall while the Pens drafted Sam Poulin 1st round 21st overall. Caps also got Aliaksei Protas in the 3rd round in 2019. Connor McMichael: 18GP/12G/7A/19Pts, Protas: 18GP/7G/11A/18Pts while Poulin has 10 career games and 2 points. The Washington Capitals "fired" Peter Laviolette as their head coach and subsequently hired Spencer Carbery to replace him on May 30, 2023; making Carbery the new head coach of the team. PENS HAVE MARRIED SULLIVAN because they can't do coach evaluations and have no idea how to hire a coach. That's obvious. Nobody cares that Dubas just like in Toronto made all bad moves. Graves, EK65, and Jarry SUCK. Dubas wasted the end of Crosby and Geno's careers. He signed Graves = YIKES!!!!
fire them both. pens have tried to hold on too long and they're headed for what they were in mario's last years. their drafting sucks and their trading sucks, and it's been that way for several GMs now. they're screwed. until they draft another generational player at 1.1. maybe that's gavin mckenna or landon dupont. the caps have retooled. first off, they've drafted pretty well. second, some of their younger players are actually good. third, they made some really shrewd trades and signings this summer. how the hell they got thompson for so little is absolutely crazy. the pens have ignored reality. the caps have recognized it early and adapted. that's the difference.
Habs are a better team when Hutson is QB on the point on the PP , Matheson should be on the 2nd unit and no knock against him it's just that Huston's skill set gives MTLs PP different looks and harder for the opposition to defend...but I don't think Matheson would be a good fit in Vancouver because of Quinn Hughes JMO . Neely &. Sweeney need to go , Bs are a $#!tshow with the recent turnovers in the lineup the last 3 yrs , no real prospects knocking down the door, FA signings are marginally helpful but not a boost to sustain their previous success, Pasta may want to fire his agent as he should have seen the signs and moved on from Boston, soon to be tire fire
How about the Caps. Not a lot of people talking about how big of a turn around they have had this year. They added some very solid pieces. Even though Ovi just was injured. He has been tearing it up before suffering that knee to knee hit from McBain. It’s nice to see the Caps playing some meaningful hockey. The fans here in Maryland and Washington dont get enough credit. We love hockey and are diehard Hockey Fans here in Washington, Maryland and Delaware. Awesome Videos 💪🏻… I very much enjoyed tuning in for each upload. Is it bad that soon as i wake up, i’m checking for any new uploads from Top Shelf Hockey 😂😂
ARIZONA 😆🤣😂 That is actually insanity!!!!! It's never ever ever ever going to work there, no matter how much paint they throw at that pig. Really dumb! Québec City is an Actual Hockey town with the fan base and proper infrastructure already in place. Don't be insane Gary, be a smart Gary. Habs vs Nordiques rivalry..... April 20th,1984!! Look it up if you don't know. RIVALRY 👊❤👊
Zegras was the best Duck on the ice, had 2 assists, and was smiling on the bench last night. Not the best take. Seravelli also insisted Gibson would NEVER play another game in Anaheim…1-1/2 years ago.
@@Prototheca People dont watch Ducks games and go only on stats. Z is playing on first line and is looking good. That Seravalli take is just wrong and people really should not be listening to him
his value will never be this high again, and we have hutson to do what matheson does. if he's still on the habs the day after the draft, we've kept him too long. if we do a deal with van, i'd target sherwood and either soucy or myers. and a 1st, of course. would be willing to add to matheson to accomplish this.
Matheson would not get the same PP time if traded to Vancouver. They would be looking for him to play a. 3/4 role with more time on the PK. Not going to put up big points. He would benefit from reduced ice time. Would have to play better defensively. Has been playing good D in the past couple weeks when the team committed to play more defensively and reduce high risk plays.
Totally agree about Neely & Sweeney. They're not getting it done. Their job these last few years has been to find a few talented younger pieces to go with Pasta. This team needs skill & energy. And, imo, the Bruins aren't the class org they once were. I think perhaps that reality may have been driven home to the players when Neely made a point of roasting Swayman in public.
Straight up lying about Zegras, you didn't watch the games.. you watched the highlights and saw him not smiling after scoring while the team was still down in the game and made your conclusion based on that. If you did watch the games you'd see Zegras still smiling all the time, even more so now that they've been winning. I'm not sure why you're even mentioning Seravalli, he's a hack.
Great Video, as usual, Mike. I say Jim Montgomery goes to The Chicago Blackhawks. I can see Luke Richardson getting let go by Chicago before Marty St. Louis getting let go by The Montreal Canadiens, to fit in Jim Montgomery in Chicago. Let me know what you think
Matheson top defenseman on the Habs 😂😂😂 Pizza delivery man maybe, he sucks defensively Ghule is by far the number 1 D Hutson is already smarter and more effective defensively Trade Natheson to St Louis for Holloway, this team needs size and speed at forward he brings both and can chip in.
about former b's coaches joining the habs, julien was with montreal first. montgomery did play for montreal though, briefly. i didn't like him then because we traded carbonneau for him, and guy was one of my favorites. and if montgomery comes here, how can we call him monty when we have montembeault already here in the net? that could be confusing.
If Hockey goes back to the Desert. Hopefully it is done correctly with the correct individuals running the show. Alex Meruelo was not the Guy and if anything destroyed Hockey in Arizona.
The Canucks do not have cap room for Matheson, and I can't see who they would send to the Habs to clear that room. Canucks do have 1st round selections this year and next and a meddling Owner who will happily approve trading them to improve the team right away. the Habs have only one retention slot to retain salary on Matheson, and they have to keep the slot for 1 of 3 pending UFA's to get max value. As a Habs fan I would expect good value for Matheson. As a BC resident, acquiring Matheson would be a great acquisition for the Canucks. I don't think they can offer what is needed to make this happen.
soucy or myers would have to go back. both are big, the former is younger and the latter is a vet RD. both have their uses. would also ask for sherwood. and a 1st.that takes care of salary, but we probably have to send something back with matheson to make the value proposition fair. probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick, or a guy like barron or struble or RHP or farrell.
@@doaftheloaf I've heard they have had interest in Myers before, but why is a mystery to me. I think the Habs would prefer a Player with an expiring contract as opposed to Myers with 3 to go. But I wonder if they see him as a good option to fill the spot that Savard will vacate in March...or would it open the door to trade Savard this week. I think Sherwood is a good fit and acquisition. But to me the prospect of trading Matheson is a non-starter because of how admiringly Hughes speaks of his character as well as ability. But the deal I did not understand was 2 years retention on the Allen Trade. With 4 pending UFA's including Evans, they are seriously limited at the limited at the trade deadline with having only one retention slot.
@ hutson can fill the matheson role, and matheson’s value will never be higher. that’s why we should deal him. the idea behind myers is we need an experienced RD, and we’re likely dealing savard. the idea behind retaining on allen is we couldn’t trade him otherwise, and we needed to see what we had in primeau. yeah, it limits us. but we’d be trading him this year if we hadn’t last year, and with retention too.
I can't see the Canucks trading a 1st again, last year for Lindholm and several in the past 8 years or so. I don't see it but of course I could be way off. 🤷🏒

Teams were worried about Lindstrom’s back. Hope the kid recovers.
I agree. Sweeney and Neely are toast if the Bruins don't make playoffs or if they get knocked out in the first round.

@@doaftheloaf Good comment. I recently said let's get Gavin McKenna and Landon Dupont. It may line up.
Legendary Pat Burns coached the Bruins and the Habs, he coached the laughs too actually, i loved Burns.
Zegras not needs a fresh start! he is one of the best players of the team, forget the stats, his effort and little plays are just wow!
It shows they watch zero Ducks games or even highlights. Seeing Zegras in the thumbnail is already a L for the channel.
Playing his best hockey now but people trying to act like hes struggling cause of his stats

Jim Montgomery or Gérard Gallant would make great assistant coach for Martin St Louis. They need some experience behind the bench.
@Darule514 get rid of st.louis he was a better player than coach

Detroit should hire Montgomery
If the price is right move Matheson, I don't think the Habs will pay big $ to extend him next year.
his value will never be this high again, and we have hutson to do what matheson does. if he's still on the habs the day after the draft, we've kept him too long.
if we do a deal with van, i'd target sherwood and either soucy or myers. and a 1st, of course. would be willing to add to matheson to accomplish this.
@@doaftheloaf getting a first and sherwood plus a top 6 defence is crazy. i can see you guys getting a first and maybe soucy, not all three.
@ then we add to matheson.
@@doaftheloaf what would the Canucks want tho? That’s for sale
Assuming Montreal would be eyeing the canucks 1st round pick, i say no to Matheson if a 1st is getting traded go after byram or andersson
what are you adding to that pick then?
Matheson would not get the same PP time if traded to Vancouver. They would be looking for him to play a. 3/4 role with more time on the PK. Not going to put up big points. He would benefit from reduced ice time. Would have to play better defensively. Has been playing good D in the past couple weeks when the team committed to play more defensively and reduce high risk plays.
The Redwings should hire Montgomery. I think Detroit would be a Perfect fit for both the Franchise and Fans
For Bruins, Big Bass and Sweeney probably go bye-bye by end of the season. Earlier if team falls out of playoffs.
Totally agree about Neely & Sweeney. They're not getting it done. Their job these last few years has been to find a few talented younger pieces to go with Pasta. This team needs skill & energy. And, imo, the Bruins aren't the class org they once were. I think perhaps that reality may have been driven home to the players when Neely made a point of roasting Swayman in public.
Now that Laine is almost back to playing nothing is happening with the Habs till trade deadline
Straight up lying about Zegras, you didn't watch the games.. you watched the highlights and saw him not smiling after scoring while the team was still down in the game and made your conclusion based on that. If you did watch the games you'd see Zegras still smiling all the time, even more so now that they've been winning. I'm not sure why you're even mentioning Seravalli, he's a hack.
Montgomery would be excellent for habs

Zegras to Chicago. Kurashev and a pick back.
Have you ever worked for any nhl team
Matheson top defenseman on the Habs 😂😂😂
Pizza delivery man maybe, he sucks defensively
Ghule is by far the number 1 D
Hutson is already smarter and more effective defensively
Trade Natheson to St Louis for Holloway, this team needs size and speed at forward he brings both and can chip in.
The Bruins need a change up top, Neely and Sweeney, bye-bye!
Gotta love the good old trade talk that never ever happens lol.
Leave then Don’t need your ignorance here
What i find funny about you is that every rumor you say it never happens
Yes they have
Yeah upper management in bean Town will be or should be gone i,,😅n the very near future
Zegras in Chicago would be very interesting
Montgomery won't join Habs if his contract with the Bruins is still in force. But, Habs do need former players to properly coach that young team
about former b's coaches joining the habs, julien was with montreal first.
montgomery did play for montreal though, briefly. i didn't like him then because we traded carbonneau for him, and guy was one of my favorites. and if montgomery comes here, how can we call him monty when we have montembeault already here in the net? that could be confusing.
If Hockey goes back to the Desert. Hopefully it is done correctly with the correct individuals running the show.
