At least dress Mitchell of Flynn, Martinsen has zero offense in his game.

Players you built a team around. So for this team, I would have Price, Weber, Markov, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Galchenyuk. Granted, this team doesn't see Galchenyuk as one considering how they've consistently misused him over the years and I think he's all but gone this off season.
PLayers like Petry/Radulov are nice complimentary players, but if they're the ones you build your teams around, you're in deep shit.

Julien is better than Therrien....but, he was still hired because he speaks French....
If there was any truth to the rumours that Gerard Gallant had an interview lined-up with Habs, then Bruins screwed us badly by firing Julien that week....couldn't they have waited an extra few days...until Habs hire Gallant.
Julien is the same as the other Lemaire jock-sniffers

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Which is super dumb....because at worst....at worst....he's a top 6 winger...at worst....
How do you put a 30th goal scorer, coming back from a year with injuries, on the 4th line....let the kid play top 6 and let him work it out.....as if Pleks or King can work it out better ???
We need goals, that's how you win....not by preventing goals to play for a 0-0 tie. But that's been the Habs in a nutshell for the past 20 years

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
That would be the biggest mistake. They might as well ship off Carey Price as well in the off season and piss off the rest of the fan base.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Because we have Price, management will never feel the pressure of doing their job well....Price acts like a blanket to hide all the team's faults
I love how people keep saying Leafs have no defense so their screwed....really ? They made the playoffs....because they can score goals.....scoring goals gets you out of a jam. Having a nice defensive system, with great dmen, with the best goalie in the world (Price) doesn't seem to equate success in the playoffs over the past 5-10 years.
We are fooked...we have to rebuild or retool.....or give the reigns to Chuckie and live with his defensive faults

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Trading Subban and Galchenyuk just because they don't fit the Jacques Lemaire School of coaching will set this team back years
This is not 1970's......in 2017, your system should adapt to your players' strengths, not force your players to adapt to the system.
I don't see Quennville benching Kane because he floats on defensive assignments.....Chuckie doesn't put up Kane numbers, but he scored 30 goals while playing much less minutes than Kane....imagine if we let him loose (we will never mistake Chuckie for Kane....just giving an example)

You are preaching to the choir but Bergevin does not flash. He orders his coaches to hammer at flash.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Listening to Julien's PC at noon, leads to the polar opposite conclusion. Kept talking about how young Galchenyuk still is, needing to manage each young player differently, because their growth curves are all different. My takeaway was: Galchenyuk is Julien's long term pet project, he'll take it slow & steady.
Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
You are so correct. Players like Subban and Galchenyuk are the talents and that is what you mold around not the other way way around. If they trade Chuckie I for one will follow him and support him because he is a talent and great for the game. I am not going to give up on the Habs of course, but this non sense needs to stop.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
We really missed Subban yesterday. He's the exact type of player we need right now. He's such a playoffs monster.
I like Weber and all, but since the PP has become laughable he's become redundant.
With Subban gone and Galchenyuk not allowed to play we don't have much hope of creating offence in the playoffs.

Weber was by far out best defensemen yesterday but yeah, we miss Subban. Also let's not ignore that Subban was badly outplayed by McDonagh the last time we met.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Markov is too old to be core now and given their contracts, you have to put Petry and Shaw in there. Whether it's a smart decision is another story.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Markov is a core player by necessaity. He's a player we've been looking to replace as the top pairing d-man for 3 years now. In an ideal world, he wouldn't be, but...
I don't consider Petry or Shaw core players, even if their contracts are long & expensive. They're both complimentary players. The same way I wouldn't consider Niklas Hjalmarsson a core player on Chicago.
For me, to be considered a "core" players, you have to be one of the key players on the team. If those players have a bad year or they get injured longterm, the team will be noticeable worst. Imagine this team without one of MaxPac/Price/Weber for a month or two. They're screwed. Heck, lose Galchenyuk/Gallagher/Markov for a while and this team will be noticeable worse. Gallagher & Galchenyuk having bad years due to injuries has hampered the team severely. Petry being injured would hurt this team, but not as much as the other players. As for Shaw, would most people even notice? He's a 30 point player who takes dumb penalties.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
27 played better than he ever has before in those six games. He hasn't played at that level since.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2016-17 Season
Last nights usage was total horse shit . We know 27 has defensive issues , but playing your top 3 skilled player second fiddle to the rest of this roster is asinine .
You dont trust him at C .....fine move him to the wing
You dont trust him with a lead with 3-5 minutes to go.....fine shorten your bench and sit him .
But when he doesnt play on your top 9 where you can easily play him with 11 and Shaw at C or any other combo is clearly an agenda by Nero signalling his exit , and I hope Radu jumps ship so the axe can fall on this entire regime .
