  1. Commandant...i have taken some flak (and deservedly so) on this thread...but i think we all want him to be our #1 C, me included...however, if you believe (like many do) that our window to win the Cup is arguably in the next two years (that's when key contracts come up start to end), then we need to be honest with ourselves about whether #27 is that player. At this point he seems to have fallen to #3 C - prolly due to his injury no doubt, having said that, he doesn't seem aware of what's going on when he's on the ice. Last night against the Rangers he was brutal...even the commentators had a hard time trying to come up with positive cliches. and while Danault is historically NOT a #1 C, you can't blame CJ for not inserting Chucky in there..I hope he turns it around - I really do, Maybe the organization needs to take the pressure off him and not push him into the #1 slot...and/or maybe he is destined to be a winger (nothing wrong with that). I just can't help but feel that MB doesn't want to pull the trigger on a bonafide top C because he is waiting on #27.. its been 4 years.. Anyway i hope you are right...
  2. he doesnt look good in yellow...god awful uniform
  3. watching PK on sportsnet Calgary - Nashville in a goal-fest
  4. i think its safe to say, Arturi is the real deal..i would like to see him move up to the 2nd line once in a while..decent size, quick feet, great shot and he's got good hockey sense; doesn't get into trouble. doesn;t take dumb penalties...way ahead of where i thought he would be at the start of the season...and he's consistent to boot
  5. This pairing is inevitable i think...paring Markov and Weber is also coming up more and more in social media and radio talk shows (for what its worth) ...the only concern is where do you play emelin? I believe this has been the issue even under MT. Its not about who do you pair with Weber, but rather who do you pair with emelin...I think this is why Julien hasn't made a change yet.
  6. ok so...what do you think MT is thinking after that performance from Price?
  7. did you see the Price interview just now? Price was asked about it...he said he was happy Byron made up for it...he's a good natured guy
  8. Byron took a high hard one at Price during warmup...Price plays his best game of the season and Byron nets the winner...maybe they should start a new superstition ....just saying
  9. I hope this puts a silencer on the "Let's trade Price" gang
  10. ^that...but in order to fill the gaps we need to move players like Chuck and N8...its unfortunate but its a reality we have to face up to...
  11. however Gally and Arturi are giving a strong effort ...Petry wasn't alone...
  12. wow the entire d corps is having a bad period...
  13. but CJ didn't bench either one of them...he sent them right back out there...Julien has said the team "lacks confidence" about 1000 times since he got here - he is walking the talk
  14. Exactly...we know there will be mistakes but fans can live with those because we know N8 is still (hopefully) learning and will get better...Emelin sheesh -not so much. Weber scores...thank you Gallagher!!!!!
  15. the PK is back to the box-defense...very tight
  16. i thought we were the better team for the most part...
  17. its difficult to watch #11 struggle...he's such a hard worker...
  18. if anyone can turn Chuck around i suppose its CJ (after all, what player could take MT's coaching advice seriously??)...having said that- do you agree if t'it claude can't get him going... is this better? C'mon man he was bruin
