Gotta wonder if he got fired in GM mode...

Eller was a role player. There are plenty of them. He found a spot in Washington as a third liner and had a great plat off. Im happy for him. Is winning the cup on a team with ovie, backstrom, kuznetsov, holtby, oshie, carlson, orlov, orpick evidence of some major blunder by the canadiens? No.

This whole "video game" thing sounds like a total case-study to me in Old School Old Boys simply not relating to Millennials - with the old geezers confusing their inability to relate with "character problems" in the young. It reeks of fossilized conservatism, and the teams that start emphasizing irrelevant horsesh*t like that are the ones that are going to fall behind over time.

If you were a black player you’d have justification not going yo the whitehouse to see a president who basically called klan members “good people”. I went even get into his “Africa” comments. It has nothing to do with trump being white, it has everything to do with Trump being a racist.

The Tim Thomas controversy was one more media driven and Bruins owner/Mgmt srivwnz Obama didn’t revoke the invite, because Thomas didn’t attend, or tweet our absurd responses like a 9 year old who feels they have been insulted. i have no issues with athletes using their position to take a political stand, or create awareness for what they believe in. I for one think it’s a shame most hockey players are to afraid of rocking the boat to take a stand when at times they probably should - even if it’s to their own detriment. In ability to go against the status quo, out of fear of rocking the boat, is the reason why the NHL had the weakest union until the the early 90’s and guys like Eagleson were able to rip off players, while guys like Harvey who took a stand got blacklisted. But than I was a big fan of Mohammed Ali growing up, for both his ability as a boxer and the stand he took. I also didn’t have an issue with kaepernick - it’s too bad his peers didn’t support him when he first started his protests. On the other hand i do have an issue with a wing but leader of the free world who behaves like an adolescent anytime anyone criticizes him or has different beliefs than him.

You took the words out of my mouth. Like what kind of narrow minded bullshit is that.

When you think about it, the only guy we know who plays videogames on the Habs is Marc Bergevin.

Well I loved reading the interview with Timmons where he said one of the big red flags for him is whether players are on video games, because they may not be getting enough sleep and recovery. He cited Hemsky as an example during his draft interview - it almost sounded like he was citing it as a reason for passing on Hemsky. The habs picked komisarik that year. I’m not a big video game of video games myself, but if I’ve got the choice between a skilled player that as a friggin 17/18 year old plays too much video games versus a big, physically fit and physically developed less skilled player, I’m taking the skilled player. if Zadina is the most skilled player that you project to be a top scoring winger you take him. If it’s close on pure SKILL between him and someone else, than take another player, but take who you think is tj best friggin player available, without over psycho analyIng the other factors. i love how in the past two years, three ex-habs were in the final, while MB has been trying to acquire the players that will get us through the playoffs. How about making the friggin play-offs first!!!

DSP ties it. Larry with the lead. Can we handle any any more salt to wound???

I think it will look more like the Drouin situation, where the team very interested isn't willing to give up the big package for him unless he signs long term. We would agree to let them talk, if they come to an agreement, then we sign him to the contract with the terms they agreed to and make the deal.

I knew Lars Eller was clutch, but I didn't know he was Stanley cup winning goal clutch.
