  1. you quoting numbers...or watching the games...geezus what will it take for ppl to realize he is playing shite out there and has for months...crist de merde
  2. i know this is gonna sound crazy (i mean i am nuts so...wtf) but i think the emergence of Arturi is actually going to hurt Chucky's chances of staying with the Habs. I realize he's just a rookie and has a long way to go but he's showing that he's the real deal.
  3. of course its prolly bullshit...but ppl start to piece things together. Geez...the things that were said about PK !! what i find remarkable is that pretty much 80% of talk is about next year...Heck even Price is being mentioned as trade bait. This is Montreal. We are crazy here when it comes to the Habs (and poutine)...the French talk shows are worse (not in a bad sense) than the english...lots of passion. There is a call for a complete team over-haul.... and we are still playing for heaven's sake?!?!?! Its nuts. Galchenyuk has become a polarizing figure...its like tories vs. libs...dems vs. reps...Chucky fans vs. haters...he is living in downtown Montreal and there is a crowd everywhere he goes. Given his on ice performance, (which i know Com you think is very good), AND the team trailing in the series, of course ppl are going to speculate about off-ice stuff. its part of the playoff ritual...
  4. word on the street, social media, radio talk show hosts, callers...it seems we can speculate about all kinds of stuff here but we need to be careful about who...this kid is not going to be the player you want him to be..and to speculate that this is Max's team and that he has a say (as captain and leading point-getter) about who he plays with is OBVIOUS. Hey tell you what...hit the scroll button
  5. don't get me started on the facking petri dish experiments on this kid...a lobotomy is next
  6. the word on the street (in Montreal) is that Chucky loves his Crescent street bars, women, and booze; and not necessarily in that order. Based on MB's need for "character" players, It wouldn't surprise me if he's not back next year. Whether you love him or hate him, this is Max's team right now... make no mistake about it. Chucky isn't playing with Max because Max doesn't want him to...Why did DD play with Max? because of Max ..PD is playing with him, because (you guessed it!!) Max wants him to. When Chucky centers Max, its harder for him...he has to chase the puck more AND cover up for Chucky's mistakes (which are many and often). Anyway, this is our team and, aside from the Chucky drama, we knew going in that this team has more holes than swiss cheese. The good news ? So does every other team in the league...even the mighty Pens (eventually Fleury will let them down). New York, Boston, Ottawa, Toronto, etal...all have problems. Look, Chicago was knocked out in 4 straight...should Toews be tarred and feathered? This series is going 7 games...and hopefully OUR team (warts, holes and all) wins game 7.
  7. ya...but for every good play he makes half a dozen bad ones...Anyway at this point put him on the top line..what the hell, put him on D during the PP ..wtv.
  8. agreed...(like...Chucky? about two months ago)...Shaw has been involved yes, but I thought he was going to be more of a factor...he's just been ..meh...
  9. glass half full...(just not of the 12 year old single malt)
  10. ok...but Max has 20+ shots...not sure how many Chuck has. but if we are going to dissect players then...where has Shaw disappeared to?
  11. i was actually defending you..lol...let's not start the Galchenyuk BS again...i am tired of everything that player is and i don't blame him ... I just don't get the shitting on Max - he is arguably our best player. A class act who is prolly playing hurt...
  12. of course he is being shadowed !!! LOL. He's our leading scorer. AV would be an idiot if he didn't. what a strange group this is... unbelieveable...Why do you think CJ is moving Radu to second line??? He's spreading the offense. This is a chess game between two very good coaches... Not only is he being shadowed...he was TARGETED in the first game ...they hit him hard and he is now playing hurt for the rest of this series...next AV will target Price...its the facking playoffs. This is how it goes. Those big players MB brought in need to start earning their pay...
  13. I still say Max is playing hurt...AND even though is is hurt, he will not be taken off the top line. Ppl may not want to acknowledge this but...this is Max's team. He (quietly and unassumingly) has more say in what is going on than we think. He really likes Danault and that is one (of many) reasons #24 is playing on the top line. Shaw hasn't been as visible as he should be - afterall MB brought this player in for his (supposed) playoffs experience. I applaud CJs attempt at trying to get Shaw going by moving him up to top line for tonight's game. Worth a try...
  14. sure...as long as they have someone reminding him of three things every 2-3 minutes --- that he's playing in the 5th game of the playoffs, the score, and what period it is...then fine
  15. thanks TO (btw i love your city...just not the team)... sometimes there's lots of negative energy here...and also a lot of kool-aid drinkers. Bottom line...we are in a dogfight.. so is every other team.
  16. I think the series is going pretty much as predicted ...Really we need to accept that this is our team - warts and all.. so far our boys have done well. The rangers are well coached and no push-overs. I find this is like a chess match between CJ and AV. Both coaches are making adjustments/moves on the fly and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Looks like this series is going 7 games. Playoff Negatives so far. 1) Beaulieu doesn't look like he will be around next year. He certainly is playing his way off this team. 2) MAX is playing hurt...but there is no way CJ can move him off the top line 3) Shaw seems to have disappeared 4) Nesty should never see ice-time again Playoff Positives 1) The Price is right 2) Weber is a beast 3) Gally and Arturi are playing solid hockey.. AND Plex is actually contributing (i mean... this is the playoff and he's not invisible !!!l That has to be a positive) 4) Danault (while NOT A #1C) is worth his weight in gold (remember he is being ASKED to play on top line...). I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves...not to long ago we used to have DD as our #!C) 5) Radulov is playing like wants to stay here...which may be the best "positive" of all...
