Basically, they didn't like him. As with Subban, that's all that counts in this gong show of an organization. Too little improvement too late for a 3rd overall that was hoped to be a 1c next!

Tatar finishes this season with more points than Pacioretty. Domi is a good bet as Galchenyuk appears to have suffered a serious knee injury in camp The second one is really bold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said "I hated this deal from day one and Domi so far has proven we gave up a top 6 forward for someone who is not even worthy of playing for Rockets. Now the team is stuck with him either warming the benches or watching from the press box." He mentioned Domi by name. He also refers to us giving up a top six forward (we only gave draft picks for shaw). So i think he meant Domi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard09 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 9 hours ago, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: It's a stupid trade predicated on arbitrary considerations ('attitude') rather than hockey skills. However, if Galy has a serious injury, the Habs will benefit in the short term. So there's that. It's truly sad if the only hope for the Habs benefiting from the trade is an injury to Galy. We all know they lost the trade big time. Skill for stupid toughness that only hurts the team. They just have to hope their PK and Price will keep bailing them out from Domi's dumb moves for the rest of his time in Montreal. Bold Prediction Domi will have a shorter career than his dad, because at least his dad could fight and the league needed goons back then.

Bold Prediction Domi will have a shorter career than his dad, because at least his dad could fight and the league needed goons back then. I think you're a bit hard on Domi, who did get 40+ points last season and is more than just 'stupid toughness.' He's a decent player. But the trade is basically a downgrade in talent for a supposed upgrade in 'attitude;' in other words, more dumb-ass thinking from dumb-ass management, a prototypical MB move in that it doesn't solve any actual problems and weakens our overall talent level. Fortunately for Mr. Attitude, Galy may be seriously injured, so he can smugly point to that as 'proof' of his shrewd GMing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade is a loss because chuck is better... but hes a skilled player... hes not a tough guy. He has 7 fights in 3 nhl seasons... and 135 points in 222 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 He is tough to compare at this point but I think maybe Michael Peca would be the comparison. A guy with skill who does some seriously boneheaded decisions from time to time that gets remembered more than anything skill wise he does on the ice. Maybe sprinkle a little Darcy Tucker in there but Tucker knew how to get the puck in the net. He isn't a goon in role but he's definitely a goon in spirit. I'm guessing this will be just the first of the moronic decisions he makes as a Hab. Him and Shaw on the ice at the same time will be like two time bombs ready to blow each other up. The perfect guys to have when you want to go nowhere but down in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHL only gave him four games because they are always soft on London Knights players. Domi once grabbed a guys beard in Calgary to goad him into a fight but he wouldn't. Domi I guess wasn't mad enough to pop him. Don't forget how he broke his hand, which was fighting Garnet Hathaway. Like I said, he's a goon in spirit. He will throw a predatory hit if he feels justified. He will grab players and tell them to fight. He will risk his career to punch a guy during a 1-1 tie at the end of the second because Hathway tried to hit him. Arizona lost that game in OT by the way so good job energizing the bench. This won't be his last incident. He likely will be a good boy until December or something when a Bruins game comes up. Maybe he can start throwing with his other hand and break that so he can join Karl Alzner in needing someone to open his pickle jars. This feels like we traded Pierre Turgeon for Shayne Corson again. At least we did it one for one this time instead of gifting Conroy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of what some call "choir boys" can't-do-no-wrong players? I do not like useless goons in our lineup or predatory players; bit skilled middle-6 players that can be nasty: yesss! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of what some call "choir boys" can't-do-no-wrong players? Because it's a symbol of mediocrity in the NHL today. Unpredictable means they can cost you the game by getting too many penalties. Nobody fears the Habs with Deslauriers, Shaw, Domi, and McCarron. Add Weber and still nobody is scared of this team. If Tom Wilson wants to crash Price or hit Drouin high he would have no hesitation. It's more likely he draws a penalty out of the team than any retribution occurring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 We should be building a team that can outskate and outscore the opposition. Sure, you need some grit, but not at the expense of talent, which is what this trade did. I don't care if other teams 'fear' our physicality. I want them fearing us because we're better than them at hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do NOT want the Habs to goon-up but I do not mind loosing a couple of games in the loose-for-Hughes year if these fly-weight tumblers (cannot call them fighters) go bezerk When Kotka and Suzuki are with the club, the I would like to have mid-6 forwards and bottom-4 rear-guards able to protect them Inenof my old-time favourite players is Nilan, and I do NOT want a player like that in 2018.

They're legit NHLers (a 2nd liner in one case, a 3rd liner in the other) and anyone who has praised Gallagher's agitating game can't really turn around and condemn those guys for also playing that way.
