That's not what Stars fans think, of course.
I'm going to go have dinner, this team is just counting down until they can go home.
All 15 of them
Enjoy

So boring

I hope Drouin has a good year. But bottom line is LD is a black hole and Sergechev is still a kid, who is only going to get better.
That's all I'm saying. I don't not like Drouin. I actually think he's unreal(at times), but the LD is barin

Well, the team has played 13 games. So if we're going to declare Price's season "average," four great games (five including tonight's) are a significant chunk of the sample size.
I'm not saying the guy is Superman. I just don't see his play as our main problem and from what I've seen he has been quite good. I think expectations are off the chart for him and that he consequently "falls short" even when he plays like a very fine NHL goalie.
You're right. He shouldn't be to blame for the issues in front of him

Lots of goalies have four good games.. means nothing... what matters is can he play like the top player on the team. He has been pretty average this season. Habs are winning on goal scoring.
that said, the team defence blows.
It is definitely something that needs to be taken into account. The defense is a joke.
Price would probably have a couple cups, if he had decent team in front of him.

Boy...any goal Price lets in nowadays, is automatically declared a goal he should have had. That was NOT a bad goal, given the screen on the play. People seem to expect the guy to have a .000 GAA and a 1.00 save %.
Try this: would you be saying it was "average" if Henrik Lundqvist let that in? No? That's the way to think about Price.
I don't even know what your Lundqvist reference means
There was absolutely no screen on that goal. He miss read it.
. 916 sv%, 2.58 goals against. 28th in the league in save percentage and 26th in goals against.
10.5 million a year, I can say what ever I want about Price(very rarely do) . The past 3 years, he's been average.

That chance to clear that ended up being a weak backhanded turnover by Byron....what the hell?! It's not just that he's not scoring, he's making mistakes defensively now too...pretty useless out there.
He's been so shit
Price has been so average

Given that Kulak has been a healthy scratch more than once this season, I suspect this really is about 'upgrading' on him.
But he's a top 4 defender!!!

I’d still rather have Sergechev.
The same thing was said last year about Drouin being the better piece. Then... "crickets", when he shit the bed, down the stretch
-
4 points on this road trip. That's really solid
At what point does Paul Byron come out of the line up? Lehkonen too.
Year after year, it's the same story for Lehkonen; guy does close to nothing offensively. On a team like Montreal, that doesnt fly. They need to consistently roll four lines.

If you watched the game, could you add your comments on why this line wasn't working so well yesterday (setting the Drouin goal aside)? I only saw the goal highlight video, which looked nice enough, but it's only 20 seconds out of a game.
I see what you did there

Cale Fleury had 10 hits. Second most in the game on either team was Chariot with 5 hits.
He struggled in his own end. He almost got Danault leveled, with a deadly pass too
Don't get me wrong, I really like Fleury and he will learn from these mistake, I just don't think Reilly is a good partner for him

Nobody is panicking about it. It's been a fairly Xanaxed discussion on this forum about 3 struggling players.
Now then... which superstar can we get for Byron, Lehkonen and a 2nd?
Absolutely. Simply speaking the obvious
-
Kotkaniemi, looked OK, but that third line brings nothing
-
Played decent. They need to be better in their own end.
Reilly is clueless, in his own end. Him and Fleury are not an ideal pairing.

Thats fine, I'm not blaming you.
Just saying that whoever wrote the article doesn't know what they are talking about.
I think it was more about his puck movement and decision making, not so much his skating

Whoever said Struble isn't a good skater should stop watching hockey and stick non-ice sports. Lack of pace is not an issue there.
Pretty sure the article was posted on this site. I have no idea, I've never even seen him play. Just reiterating what was said

If you know they are that good... you would never take the chance that another team might draft them.
Sure you could wait til the third round if you think they are a sleeper. You don't wait til rounds 6 and 7 and give other teams multiple shots at them if you think they are franchise guys. It shows you got lucky and they are better than you even thought.For sure, but Detroit drafted them.
I'm out on this. Too much thought going into another team's g.m

Is everyone just suppose to agree and be one big happy family 🤔
Its a discussion forum for a reason.
I'm only joking

4 minutes ago, Commandant said:See this is what I said.
Neither of these are what I actually said.
You need to read my posts and what I actually write, not assume other things.
There are many things that Ken Holland did right, obviously, the guy won 4 Cups.... but to be clear.... I give him 0 credit for drafting Fedorov, Lidstrom, or Yzerman cause those weren't his picks. I also think he was lucky with Zetterberg and Datsyuk. If he knew how good those guys were, he never would have let them sit around til the 7th round or whatever.
Why would he waste an early pick on those players, if he had an idea they were sleepers.
Obviously luck is involved, but at the end of the day, that scouting staff drafted multiple players, deep in the draft.

Lol, is that Metallica? Dejaview

My bad so according to commandant theory , Bergevin got lucky 3 times and all his other picks were unlucky. Had nothing to do with scouting and development in the organization.
Again just using Bergevin as an example since this is a habs forum. Not trying to rip him.
Not worth it. Bergevin has family members on this forum
