He scores in the nude!!?

It's an interesting dilemma to be a Sharks fan. That team, along with Washington, have been contenders and semi-contenders for almost a decade. Certainly I'd rather have been in that position than watch the Habs flail around pointlessly with lateral moves and bad management under Bergevin or bomb out under Gainey and The Goat. But there has to be something so infinitely painful in seeing a team stacked with legit star talent crap out in the playoffs year after year after year. I'm still scarred by the bait-and-switches of 2008 and 2015, where it looked like we had a team on the cusp, only to have it all crash down again. Imagine going through that every frigging season!!!

He didnt float in the playoffs. He had the most shots in the series (either team) and was a huge positive possession player... just could not score.

I've been struggling with offensive explosions recently. Diet?

Sure. I'll bite. I agree with you except drouin isn't a centre really. Time will tell I guess. Pacioretty Drouin Radulov Chucky Danault Gallagher Lehkonen Plekanec byron Hudon shaw hemsky Markov subban Mete Petry Beaulieu/shlemko Benn Still rather have that than cap space

I wonder if he's taking a look at de Haan. He's a rental blueliner but he'd help stabilize the left side and provide a hedge in case Mete falters as the season progresses.

I lay most of the blame at the feet of the Habs organization! Chucky had 30 goals playing at center, and suddenly he's not good enough to be a center. They've moved him around so much, that the kid doesn't know where to play anymore. Once again, the Habs will ###### up a good young player and he'll end up being traded away!

Bingo...I certainly haven't forgotten about the invisible play of Max Patioready in that Rangers series. Zero goals in 5 playoff games, and now one goal during the all-important start of the new season. He's floated and contributed nearly nothing for 9 games in a row now, so there's nothing wrong with fans expecting him to get off his a** and start contributing already.
