THE Bobby Orr

Agreed ...its pointless to argue. when someone needs to reference words like "dumb", "making things up' . "reaching"...not to mention the not-so-subtle references to my limited brain capacity - it's starting to get old...lol. But like you i really want Galchenyuk to do well...when he scored last night, we (me and the 3 buddies i was watching the game with) all spontaneously applauded #27. Genuinely happy he was the one who scored.---> and we all are hoping he comes out flying in the playoffs.

it's been a bit of an up and down season. IMO There were/are three "good" things 1. getting rid of MT and replacing him with CJ ..2) Radulov 3) Arturi ...with honourable mention to Danault- who has earned every penny he makes The bad: not landing a #1 C...

okay..but Don pls think about it...these exhibition games is when CJ should have him on the top line Or if not the top line, at least give him ice time. Something is fishy in Denmark and it's not an injury, I like this kid but...sheesh let's take off our rose-coloured glasses for a minute. CJ seems to be a positive coach when it comes players; but even CJ can't seem to get through to this kid. i am a DIEHARD habs fan...i want this kid to do well. i believe we all do...but let's call a spade a spade and enough with the "numbers". He looks awful when he's out there.

it i when the 4th line guys are playing 13 minutes...nobody is making stuff up...i don't know if you noticed but against Tampa he played 12 mins...i don't know what game your are watching...it's just not the same game as i am...enough of this b/s already...

it's CJ's way of sending him a message....its all part of a master plan. have faith

not to mention all the hype...the Ron McMapletons talking about the historic rivalry which doesn't even exist...and Don Cherry will prolly explode if Emelin even touches a Leaf...no thanks...

i want no part of the leafs...

i don't know what game you were watching bro....ya he had one or two good moments...but come on...

well said...he was terrible again tonight...the fourth line players are getting just as much, if not more, ice-time than he's getting. I hope Arturi gets promoted to top-six on a permanent basis. That kid tries on every shift and is very responsible without the puck Watching #27 fumbling around out there is starting to get boring...

he was a no show again. And he was given 4th line ice time; ~14 minutes including overtime. Let's hope the goal gets him going

by "interesting" i take it you mean - that's awful !! he should be in the top six tonight...i have a feeling Chucky isn't listening to CJ and, as a result, he's in the doghouse... He's not hurt...if he was, he wouldn't be playing.

i was expecting #27 to get into the top 6 tonight...

gives me a reason to watch the game...

YES !!! i remember when he played like an imposing 6'2" center....then he got beat up by his girlfriend, and has never been the same since lol... Seriously though, i truly believe MT screwed this kid up...(makes you wonder what else MT managed to f--k up along the way)

...but what about Arturi guys? the 3rd best thing to happen to Habs this year...1) Firing Therrien 2) Radulov 3) Arturi... i get what you are saying...at the risk of sounding like a broken record - to me Galchenyuk = Kessel, Its a bit of a jagged pill to swallow, but that's how i think we need to see him going forward. Not sure there is anything wrong with that.

if he was hurt, he wouldn't be playing... ~12 mins against the Bolts...this is not CJ's favorite player right now..

I do get it - it's not that hard to follow...all i am saying is try going a week (or two) without bringing up Subban. To add to your point; two very good defencemen (Norris contenders) are 1-2 in giveaways. I am not sure what that means - ie. is the ottawa rink just as hard on its players as ours is?...but based on the three recent games against Ottawa; Karlsson DID in fact, turnover the puck more than a few times. Anyway stats are great and all - but for me it's what i see on the ice...(not sure about Burns as i seldom watch him play) From strictly a fan standpoint - the difference is that Burns has 28g/74 pts and the Karlson has 17g/71 pts. So the turnovers are 'accepted' by both coaches and fans.. .Petry (and Emelin) on the other hand...it's tough to watch. And Price has to pay the price...

ok bro...but try going a week without bringing up Subban..

so you agree with yourself...good on you. you need to let it go man, Weber is a HAB...PK isn't. I wish him well but enough already,

Maybe cause Weber was paired with Emelin for most of the season...

A buddy of mine in Edmonton warned me about Petry (when we signed him). he said he played "soft" for a big man, and apparently turnovers are a chronic condition with him. He was happy to see Petry leave the oil patch. i thought he was just upset to be losing a top 4 d-man, but it seems he was right. Whatever he is ...he is now a fixture on our blue line and i don't see him being moved anytime soon. The turnovers are bad but his reluctance to hit anyone is more of a problem IMO.

lets give him another 4 years first

two defensive mistakes = two goals...actually, on the second goal, i won't say it was a defensive mistake - more like a defensive clusterf--k

King is drunk...

Why is Price in nets tonight??? Sabres are going for the net, and, as per usual, no one is sticking up for him... . I heard he wants to play in Detroit...last game in Joe Louis arena .ok i get why he wants to play in that game; to be a part of history...but tonight??
