Habs30/31 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Do not like Pacs playing on a line with the two smallest players in the league. (DD and Gally) In the 743 line combinations Therrien has come up with in two seasons, why not try Bourque on the wing with DD and Pacs.

Gallagher does more with limited size than Bourque. Gallagher some question if he's a legitimate top six player but there's no question that Bourque is not.

DON Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Because they have been winning, 77-42-13 with the adaptive line combos since le Genius took over. Why Bourque isn't in top 6, you would need to ask coaching staff that and am sure they could give you good reasons. He has played 2 good games so far, but still expect little from him for the season, cept being in press box by X-mas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing with this post, but not so sure about it not being a good idea to try Bourque with Patch now that he is using his size(so far) this year...but yer right Don, it's only 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 If Rene keeps it up I will cut him some slack, because he seems to be playing as he did in playoffs, which is nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Rene Dork has not earned the benefit of even the smallest doubt. He will need to play well game in and game out for an extended period of time before anybody should start thinking of him as a possible fixture in the top-6.

Neech Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Let Rene play himself into physical and mental shape, taking his share of scratches, in time for the playoffs when his production is worth more than anything we could get in a trade for him (and might even justify his cap hit). Or deal him at the deadline when other teams might want to bite on him, but it seems like a semi-contender like the Habs should be holding on to the guys who produce when it counts the most.
