It's still up but it now says, "Know Excuses"

Don't hold your breath. I'm still salty about losing McDonagh.

I absolutely love Sportsnet right now talking about how stupid Andrew Shaw is.

Hey, I'll take it. It's better than the majority of players that pretend to act like Canadian wheat farmers in front of the camera.

Biggest return of a former Hab since Lafleur.

7 points in 7 games under Julien. I don't think people realize just how good that is.... if you go with the fact that he was a PPG player for 45 games before his injury, and that he is a PPG player again now... and call the first few games after his return the outlier due to the fact he needed to get up to game speed, then what you see is a PPG player over a large sample. A PPG player would be someone firmly in the top 10 in NHL scoring, at any position. If thats what he is doing, surely we can live with him being less than perfect defensively (even though he is a positive possession player). This team can't score. There shouldn't even be a discussion of "having enough of Galchenyuk", one of the best players on the team (and one of the best in the league for that matter) at generating offence.

Yeah. No wonder why they went with Claude Julien...

Pay me season tickets

Doesn't everyone? ??

You gotta admit things looked bad until Gally got a nice bounce. We had about three good chances on Rinne and our powerplays were pathetic. Price, meanwhile, was making some big saves.

What a depressing thread... glad I watched the game instead of reading everyone's negative comments. Cheer up gang, 4 wins in a row!

We need you and your lady at more games. And you got exactly what you wished for.

That's 4 in a row! Now let's start scoring in the first 50 minutes eh?

Really nice to see Carey back in top form!

Hope we see Nashville again in the SC final.

WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW,,,can that boi SKATE !!!!!!!

Holy moly! The two little guys get off the schneid!

Remembering the last time the Habs scored a goal be like

Haha sorry........To ruin the result or not to ruin the result? That is the question I'll keep it under wraps

I kinda like Benn. Seems like a solid pick up.

That sign was taken down. They can use excuses now.

If this club was a contender that wouldn't matter.

I was just thinking he was grtting better, and he pulls a forking p. o. s. penalty like . bench him ffks sake

...yet our GM spend deadline day trading exclusively for 4th line grit.

That was a Most Beau-tiful Ovation. Thank You ppl at Bell Keg phone booth!

That was pretty special. Kinda of a cold cutaway to Bergevin there, too.

That hit me right in the feels. Weber better pick it up over the stretch drive/playoffs.

In a 4-1 Habs win

I bet 20$ that Commandant secretly wants PK to fly by Weber and score a goal.

My girlfriend and I are attending tonight. Our record is 9-0-0. I hope that PK will give us a good show but will not ruin our clean sheet.

Like the square peg-round hole, but isn't just coaches...if Galchenyuk is on the wing, talking heads and fans freak out and say are wasting his talent, even though he seems more like a finisher and shooter than a playmaker and 200ft player who can defend well (for now anyways). Don't care if he is most skilled forward and was 'drafted to be the big centre'...

I just glad we can put this trade to rest. Let's move on from it all ready.

Everybody loses, and when we see what Shea looks like in two months, Bergevin will lose his job.

Asking prices were too high,

I gotta say I'm a little surprised with all the hate directed towards MB in this thread! Let's face it, there wasn't much out there in terms of bonafide 1st or 2nd line goal scorers. And if there was (cough, cough Duchene and Ladescog) Colorado was asking way too much for them. MB did what he thought was the best he could, and that is add some much needed size and grit to this team. The Habs have been known to shy away from the rough stuff in the past few seasons. The additional grit and size will help us in the playoffs for sure. Am I disappointed we couldn't get a legit goal scorer? Yes, but I think MB has a better chance of landing one in the off season than at the trade deadline. Too many GM's have made huge mistakes at the trade deadline because they thought they HAD to make a big move. More often than not, they ended up overpaying for someone who would go on to play 20-25 games for them.

I'm sure i am, i also like watching the physical side of the game, winning board battles and crashing the net isn't exciting, but it helps you win. Watching smurfs the past 10 decade float around the perimeter drove me nuts, lol

When was the last time a president's trophy winner won the cup? Who picked Carolina to win in 06? The Kings in 12? All the low seeded teams that have made it to the finals? Even the Penguins last year at one point in the season were like 30-1 to win the cup but still won. So to answer your question, I am about as confident as the odds Don posted.

Confident about what? He did the best without breaking up a lineup that has led its division for months and mortgaging the future, seems a big Yes. Sweet Jesus...you were the one who wouldn't part with dear old Sergachev for a top six centre? Now you are complaining that he didn't do something like that...impossible to please some I guess.

Nobody goes after Fisher. Book the tee times!!!

Lehkonen Byron Danault Gallagher Mitchell 5 of 12 forwards bring nothing.

Cant argue with that, but also cant then get upset at something you are totally guessing at. Do you really think Bergevin was just being cheap, didn't know the stats of every available player, hasnt been in touch with many agents/GMs in past few months, was too conservative to make a move, had no input from capologist, etc? Us armchair GMs can suggest or question why didn't he sign this or that player, but just aint quite that simple as 'I heard on TSN they only wanted a 2nd round pick' so why isn't he in a F'in Hab jersey!

Pk looked good crying in front of the cameras, They must be filming a documentary on him and are going to use it in it. Lol j/k
