Lines I'd go with: Galchenyuk - Drouin - Gallagher Pacioretty - Danault - Shaw Byron - Plekanec - Lehkonen Hudon - McCarron - Mitchell I know, call me crazy for putting a 4th liner on the top line, but it just seems like that kid can put the puck in the net when given the opportunity, I dunno. It does look like Danault is the new Desharnais: good with Patches, offensively useless without him. So I tend to disagree with Commandant that he's a legit top-6er; rather he is a top-6 C when paired with Pacioretty. Otherwise he's a big hunk of nothin'. But, chemistry is chemistry - I'll take it. And I agree with Stogey that the treatment of Galy is moving beyond reason. Something is going on there beyond what we can see on the ice. When a guy who lacks confidence starts scoring you usually let him build on that momentum rather than keep him under 10 minutes of ice and stuck on the 4th line. CJ really seems to want him as a 4th liner, period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Whoa, the cucumber is extra bitter this morning. Danault is not nothing. He is a decent forward often asked to play above his ideal role due to our lack of centre depth. Not his fault. Give the kid a little credit. 4pt night; crucial goals, c’mon.

I'm just saying he's a bottom 6 forward without Patches. With Patches, he mutates into a more offensively productive player than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Sounds like Rangers and Habs are quite similar at the moment. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Jan-Levine/Game-12-MTL-5-NYR-4-Same-mistakes-on-display-again-in-loss-Saturday/89/88492 But, at least the NY GM can point to Sather trading away their 2013, 14, 15 & 2016 1st round picks as leaving him with issues moving forward.

Danault's 5v5 points/60 was identical last season playing with or without Pacioretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tied for team lead in goals...are 6 of them tied! Haha, that is a nice low bar there. You and I are both only 3 goals behind the team lead.

Haha, that is a nice low bar there. You and I are both only 3 goals behind the team lead. 14:52/gm is not how top forwards around the NHL are used. You know that full well, so why post about it? If every forward on a team was given equal icetime... they would get 15 minutes in a regulation game. We know that great players get more ice time. So a good player should be above the 15 minute average and a bottom liner below it. Shows you how Julien is treating him if he's below the average (and thats with 2 OT games to add in some extra minutes in our first 11 too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the best version of the anthem the Habs have had in years. I agree. Kim Rachardson is what we call a professional singer, she sings pretty much anything like rock, pop, disco, house, R&B, funk, gospel, jazz. She's not a superstar, doesn't really play on radio and such, but is always racking contracts to share the scene with big names such as Celine Dion, Steevie Wonder, Barry White. She sang for the Queen and Nelson Mandela. Features on many radio and tv commercials, performs high-level backvocals in different events (tv shows, award cérémonies, etc). She even won some Juno's back in the days !!! But she's a total unknown. Life is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
