    Well your not being fair. He went out and got Radulov Shaw and Weber who all have contributed to scoring this season.

     

    I don't think we expected Gallagher to go stone cold with the rest of the bottom six. People saw Pleks drop off coming but I don't think anyone expected it to be this bad. I get it though dude it can be frustrating at times but I think some of our guys that have gone cold will turn it around.

     

    I wish I could have your faith,  I had faith in MB when he first came, and every year people would say don't worry the deals will come, and they haven't.

    Is the team better than it was a week ago? Yes.

     

    Is it good enough to win the cup? To be determined. But with CP, you always have a shot.

     

    It is debatable that this team is better, more physical sure, but I wouldn't say better, since their issue was scoring.

    People seem to forget that most teams "selling" are getting assets for UFAs that would walk at the end of the year. Seriously, take a look at the forwards that were traded today. Look at the top UFA lists for 2017...most of those players are already on playoff bound teams. I know you can't please all of the people all of the time, but man, this fan base expects the moon more often than not.

     

    To be fair the fans expected deals to be made before this season that would increase offense, he didn't deliver, so you cannot blame fans for hoping beyond reason that he would actually go for it this year, especially with Montreal's cup chances closing.

  4. It's getting to a point where you have to consider what MB plan is for this team going forward. Does he want a team that wins games 2-1 every night and his bringing in big bodies as a sign of his change in philosophy, or if the deals were really that bad at the deadline, and all that was available was 4th liners.

    Sure...just toss Sergachev at em and he could of easily made that happen! (But...see Filip Forsberg trade)

     

    Yeah I obviously meant  trade Sergachev for Drew Stafford, are you dumb? All I ever see you do is play the devil's advocate card, I don't know why I am even wasting my time responding to you, trolls get off on the attention.

    So with McCarron, my count puts us at 25 players...

     

    Pacioretty-Danault-Radulov

    Lehkonen-Galchenyuk-Gallagher

    Shaw-Plekanec-Byron

    King-Mitchell-Ott

     

    Weber-Markov

    Petry-Emelin

    Benn-Beaulieu

     

    Price

     

    Extras:  Flynn, Martinsen, McCarron, Davidson, Nesterov, Montoya

    This is the lineup of a first round 0-4 sweep.

    Totally agree. I just mean that we've added size, grit, and Cup experience - which will probably prove valuable over a long Cup run. But we did NOT add the skill needed to make us a top-end threat to make a long Cup run in the first place. We're going to just hope the team gets hot and Price goes lights-out.

    Cup experience is such a overhyped intangible used at the deadline.

    What I'm saying is that the team was ALSO "crushing it" when it had Subban and Price - and that was before the addition of Radulov (and Shaw). That's the comparator, not the team that melted down after it was forced to play with third-tier netminding for 60 games. I've said all along that this team will be very strong, precisely because it was very strong before Price's injury, and has added important pieces previously missing.

     

    Jeff Price's analysis is exemplary, incidentally. Great posts.

    Yeah, I wish I didn't dislike Weber because of the trade, it's not his fault, I'm just irrational haha, can't help it. So I'll likely never give him the benefit of the doubt.

    But if y'all want to complain about Weber being boring and slow and whatever unfounded dumbass complaint you want to make, you're not watching the same games I am. The guy is amazing. I just unrealistically wish we'd managed to get a guy like Weber and keep PK. Because I love Subban, too.

     

    I don't know what game you're watching, but Weber is nothing if not boring and steady if that floats your boat that's fine.

     

    As an aside it's so interesting how this trade has divided this fanbase so much, it's so funny haha.

    Looks pretty slow and boring here.  And fire wagon hockey doesn't work these days so I guess you'll just have to be disappointed. 

     

    And I'm not sure why we're talking about Subban in a Weber appreciation thread. He is a beast out there and clearly fans are loving it

     

     

     

    He really brought me out of my seat with that 5 foot pass to Gally..oh boy can't contain my excitement.

    If 4 points in 4 games, a +6 and plays by far the most minutes on a team undefeated in regulation with the best goal differential is boring and slow, I'll bring my pillow and blanket to the snooze fest and enjoy every minute of it 

     

    Him scoring doesn't change the fact he looks slow, and is boring. 

     

    Sports it's supposed to be entertaining and winning isn't enough for me. I wish for the firewagon style of hockey we had under Carb.
