Ya is probably unwise to spam the forum which is so active discussing countless other topics.

Honestly I considered making a thread about this too. Ott is someone I thought might actually come back this season (I know others said the same as well) and his retirement/being named a coach in St. Louis was a bit of a surprise. There aren't a lot of active threads right now and this is news(ish).

Call me crazy but are we doing to galchenyuk what the leafs did to kadri early on in his career? the leafs all most blow kadri's career by not developing him probably. But now under mike he has turned into a good two way player. i just see us developing galchenyuk the wrong way much like what the leafs did to kadri.

Just when I thought you were about to write a post that didn't trash management, you were amazingly able to sneak a spot for it in there.

Until they build a team that can win without Carey being Carey, they will never win. Everyone remembers Thomas becoming a superhero and winning a Conn Smythe. They forget April 21st when the Habs scored four goals and the Bruins had to win 5-4 in OT. They forget that Thomas allowed five goals in each loss to Tampa and one game where Boston had to win 6-5. They just remember the shutouts, and the domination against Philadelphia and Vancouver. Point being, for Thomas to be great, Boston had to be great. They had to be able to score. They couldn't point the finger at their goalie when he allowed four or five in. They had to go ahead and tie the game or else the went home packing. Until Montreal builds a club that can dig Price out when the game gets tough, they will continue to lose like in 2015 to Tampa and 2017 to the Rangers. Series where everyone knows a few more goals as Montreal is in the next round. $6 million, $8 million, $10 million, don't matter. Can they score in the postseason?

He must be pretty banged up to not even consider testing free agency and playing another year.

How about I just not read yours, that's less than a molecule of respect for you , exactly what you show everyone else.

So, our 4th line center is now assistant coach of the blues

Great post. I am disgusted with MB's inability to fix problems and his corresponding BS about make-believe problems and make-believe solutions, and I think The Trade was asinine. But you know, I don't slag Weber either, apart from making sarcastic remarks about his Leadership (which are not directed at him, but rather at the fetishization of this nebulous quality and the related idea that Subban hasn't got it), If we get angry and passionate, why? It's because we care about the Habs. Habs29 and I, for instance, have spent the last year fuming at management, and we continue to fume, because we are disappointed and angry that the team is being mishandled, that our hopes are being let down. By contrast, I follow the Canucks because I live in Van, but I follow them in an amused, disinterested way; when they screw up, I find it, if anything, funny. And I would never spend time on a board like this arguing about whether Benning is a dope - because I don't really care if the Canucks stink.

I've been very civil in this conversation. You are the one throwing insults.

If the plan is to play Markov on the bottom pair (And i don't think it is, i think he still is on the second pair), then he isn't getting the same 5.75 he got last year. That gives extra space. Remember also that Carey Price is already making 6 million, so his 2018-19 contract is only going to be a 2-3 million increase... not a new contract taking up a new 8-9 million in space. If you avoid contracts like Pleks and Emelin, there is space to go around. Its all about good management. Can Bergevin do that? I don't know.

Fine by me. No one is forcing you to read anyone else's posts. The ignore list is easy to find. As for respecting others... I'm not the one telling people to leave this forum and post somewhere else cause I don't like their opinions. Grow up. Sometimes people will disagree with you. That doesn't mean trying to silence them. This forum would be boring if we all agreed all the time.

Grow up? You should try it. When someone disagrees with you, you insult them, punk. Go #### yourself
