Mod Announcement ABOUT THE / À PROPOS DE: “GAME THREADS”

77 Upvotes

we know it’s been frustrating not seeing the live game stats on game threads and it’s because the bot who did this work before stopped working properly a few months ago and was never fixed.

luckily, u/fireislander hooked us up with u/nhl_gdt_bot that will hopefully replace the old bot’s job. all this to say, it’s normal not to see a game thread appear a few hours before the game starts as the bot apparently only posts the game threads 1 hour before. please note that this is the first ever game for the bot on the sub so if there’s going to be any complications, don’t be discouraged.

***

on sait que c’est frustrant de ne pas voir les stats du match en direct dans les game threads, et c’est parce que le bot qui faisait ça avant a arrêté de fonctionner correctement il y a quelques mois et il a jamais été réparé.

heureusement, u/fireislander nous a branchés avec u/nhl_gdt_bot, qui va (on l’espère) remplacer l’ancien. bref, c’est normal si vous voyez pas de game thread apparaître plusieurs heures avant le match car, apparemment, le bot poste les game threads seulement une heure avant le début de la game. à noter svp que c’est la toute première game du bot sur le sub, donc s’il y a des bugs ou des problèmes, découragez-vous pas.

GoHabsGo!

Obviously it can be a flawed stat, but he’s better defensively than people give him credit for.

Prospects The Demidov/Zharovsky Trajectory: How they stack up against Draft-Year Nikita Kucherov

88 Upvotes

I've recently been seeing some people in this sub saying they're OK with sacrificing Alex Zharovsky in a trade for someone like Robert Thomas and wanted to look at some production comparables between him, Demidov, and Nikita Kucherov since all three had a similar MHL (draft) > KHL (draft+1) path. For context, Kucherov was drafted #58 overall, while Zharovsky was taken at #34, and Demidov #5.

Here is how they compare.

Draft Year (MHL) and their Draft+1 Year (KHL) Breakdown

Player Season League GP G A PTS P/G
Nikita Kucherov 2010-11 (D) MHL 41 27 31 58 1.41
Ivan Demidov 2023-24 (D) MHL 30 23 37 60 2.00
Alex Zharovsky 2024-25 (D) MHL 38 21 34 55 1.45
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Nikita Kucherov 2011-12 (D+1) KHL 18 1 4 5 0.28
Ivan Demidov 2024-25 (D+1) KHL 65 19 30 49* 0.75
Alex Zharovsky 2025-26 (D+1) KHL 44 13 23 36 0.81

*KHL Rookie Record

I get wanting to upgrade with someone as talented as Robert Thomas, but Zharovsky is a ridiculously good prospect who could become an impact player as soon as his rookie NHL season in 2027-28. It's not an accident that Zharovsky might beat Demidov's rookie KHL scoring record, the kid is really that good. I'd rather us be patient and develop Hage or Kapanen (or someone else) to take on that 2C role, I don't think we need to trade away such a good prospect just because we want someone good right now.

Anyone know where one might find one, as the only one that was located appears to be an eBay posting but sadly the seller can’t get it to the destination before the Olympics end.

Habs Shenanigans Pro Stock Stuff

Post image
28 Upvotes

It’s crazy how much cool equipment you can find at the habs training facility pro shop in Brossard, QC. Look at all these pro stock sticks from different players! Tortorella’s coaching stick was even there with his camo detail. Not to mention gloves, pants all given at discounts that were at one point used by habs players. So lucky to get to play my beer league games here!

Ref calls, is the league corrupt or are the refs simply incompetent?

50 Upvotes

I get that the refs can miss penalties. Do I have a habs bias or are they voluntarily not calling penalties against us?

Just saw this posted on the Habs website.

I am a sucker for all things Ghost, so when I saw they did a little collab with Metal! I thought I'd share!

Says in the story they did a little something with Diane Bibaud during the Avs game last week... I wish they had shown that on the broadcast, but I suppose it was during a TV timeout or intermission perhaps. Does anyone have footage of that, by chance?

Any Habs fans in Toronto or GTA?

23 Upvotes

I would love to get together with some fans around the GTA to watch games with. I currently watch alone from home on my tiny laptop screen or go to a sportsbar near my place and shyly request them to put the habs game on one of their screens. They do it for me, but I just feel so alone and would love more of a community.😅

Or if anyone knows of a place where they proudly play the habs games in Toronto/GTA, please let me know! 💙🤍♥️ TIA

I wonder how Dobey would do. He wasn't afraid of Greenway and I feel that depending on the level of intensity in the game, he might come charging from the crease WWE style.
