Checking in on Montreal's Rebuild ft. Eric Engels - DTG - [Ep.666]

As a montreal fan i am still patient and really wouldnt mind another top 5 blue chip prospect to add to the mix.

I can’t speak for other Habs fans, but I personally won’t lose patience based on standings status. It’s about moving toward something, and as we have already seen, you can take big steps forward as a team without much to show for it in a very hard division.

We gotta sign Xhekaj long term and hope that his brother will make it to a 4th line. that could be crazy

Excellent Eric Engels. He has understood exactly how it's working within the management team

At the Habs skills competition at the end of last season Arber's slapshot was clocked at 106mph

Habs are about two years from having the best blue line in hockey, and the top six is shaping up to be pretty damn talented. The rebuild is going about as well as it could, and passing the teams like Detroit, Ottawa and Buffalo will be sooner than later.

Patience is the operative word in my opinion. No rush.

FYI it is the pressure point where the jaw meets the ear. If you catch someone there with a slap or punch it is a KO. Place the tip of your finger in the small depression behind the ear where your jaw connects and apply pressure, ...... hurt didn't it? lol

Good one 'bout minimal captain height being 6'4...Crosby? McDavid? Ovechkin ? Brian Gionta ? Koivu? Claude Giroux? Wayne freakin Gretzky???

From 26:19 to 26:49 you can watch the smile slowly go back to the normal frown 😂

Being a Montreal Fan, I know that the team is not ready yet to make the playoffs this year. Their division is much too strong for them to make the playoffs. So looking at this realistically, the Habs will not do too well again this year but as long as the players are working hard and not give up, which is what I expect to see as a fan, I think most real Habs fans will be happy where this is heading so far. I really think next year or maybe at worst the following year will be the breaking point that the team will need to be competitive to be in the playoffs.

we are going to have a an ok team to watch

Eric Engels and Tommy Dreamer may be the same person.

Oh geez, that size thing again ...

How about adding a 6'2" 23 yr. Old ...200 lbs. Scoring forward named Arther Kaliyev ? Is this a possible add on ? He's Russian ...knows N.A. ice ..has a great junior scoring history...yup he would need development time but...the payoff could be a BIG Payoff ..!!Kent ...is this possible??

Been a Habs fan for 60 years. I am good with NO UFS's or trades this year. Even next year (unless they can get rid of some contracts). Wait until Demidov is on the team and the salary cap has gone up and a couple of contacts are gone, then we can sign a $10-12 million-dollar super star.

Scott praising the habs' drafting cracked me up

What do you mean no skill on the slap competitions?

if we didn't take reinbacher 5th arizona was absolutely taking him 6th. kovalev was on the back end of his prime when he played for us, and his effort level didn't always match his skill. we'll have demidov from the beginning. i would suggest we acquire a russian player to help ease demidov's transition to the NHL. a bottom six guy, so he's not blocking anyone important, but can be trusted. obviously a veteran. i think the guy we should target is vlad namestnikov of the jets. throw a 3rd at them, or harris/barron.
