I'll take massive overreactions for $1000 Alex.

We should trade for a puck moving D

I'd rather gain the zone with speed and not worry about dump ins.

We all have watched him play exact same game for years now and when he is hot, 100% of fans say "best contract in the whole NHL", when he isn't scoring "he is a floater and not worthy to be captain...trade him!!!"...safe to call that being fickle isn't it?

I agree with the last sentence that the job of the 4th line is to primarily prevent the other team from scoring, and secondarily to not be a liability out there. But I hate using Stanley Cup champions as a model as how to win. Any given year there are about 10 teams with different styles that realistically have a shot at going all the way. Too many variables like matchups, health, hot steaks, variance, etc to say precisely how a team should be built.

my head gave into gravity when I saw that Desharnais was our 4th shooter matchup in response to Karlsson. He's not bad in the shootout but this wasn't the time. It was so obvious he was going to miss. Liked Radulov the most out of any of our players.

They need to recall McCarron immediately...tonight's smurf-fest lineup was sickening.

I don't think Montoya moved on that shootout.

We won't win with Pleks and DD as our top centres. Habs 3031 used to love repeating that point.

Not really a rumour or anything but sometimes it's interesting to keep an eye on things like this:

Cant get the puck out of our own end. Defence is just weak in transition.

It's hard to be excited about this team.

Unless age has finally caught up to him, Luongo is a pretty darn solid goalie.

A 4th line without a single physical player is ridiculous...MB and MT are nutcases.

Pacioretty actually did throw several good hits and led the forwards with 4. Which game were you watching?
