    I certainly disagree and for 2 reasons.  1) if they lose this game they will likely be the next team to lose 5 or more games in a row.  No thanks.   2)  If the Yotes get Beddard maybe that would convince Mathews to go home.  

     

    17th to 24th is not where you want to finish. 25th or worse in a rebuild year is ideal in my view. Provided key players are developing. With that, I've seen enough of Hoffman and Dadanov. Give a youngster a shot.

    If #31 is done: should the Habs retire his number?

    So the promo code was intentional to the massacre?

    If so, thats one pretty f *cked up group.

     

    Just ugly all round; but, Price is a big boy and stuck foot in mouth all by himself. 

    (Habs PR folks didnt help the situation.)

    The whole story is that the poly group ( polysouvient sic) called out ccfr as gun trolls for selling merchandise to raise money.  Ccfr responded with the code. I believe the poly code was a response to the poly group calling them names. Either way it was horrible and disgusting. But I don't think it was a celebration of the massacre. The leader of that group is a right winged radical. She should have been removed years ago, but has support from many other radicals who contribute.

    Say it ain't so, Carey.

     

    I'm a bit leery of posting this in case the discussion careens into incivility and antagonism, but Price committed a huge PR blunder here. What the Puck: Price diminishes Canadiens' positive vibe this season | Montreal Gazette

     

    It's not his views on hunting rifles that are the problem, it's his amplification of, and stated support for, the CCFR, with its morally sickening celebration of a misogynist massacre. All he had to do was critique the bill without endorsing the group.

     

    Should this affect his standing with the team? Not in the long run IMHO...but it would be good if he discreetly went away for a while. Sheesh.

    I'm sure if he was aware of the horrible promo code, Price would not have stated his support. It's shocking that they would actually do that. Price as an indigenous citizen was raised hunting and fishing. Questioning the inclusion of multiple hunting rifles (many of which are single shot, break barrel or bolt action) is not an issue which warrants being canceled over. I strongly believe that, had he known of the promo code, he would not have announced his support.

       The timing with the poly anniversary is the other concern. Why did the government choose this time to slide in the ammendment with multiple hunting rifles? The timing was politically motivated. Most certainly.  Now  the media tears into CP for the timing of his opposition. Well played by the government. Introduce the ammendment a week before the anniversary. Any opposition will be labeled as insensitive.  

     

    Edit. For the record, I am  disgusted that this organization would do something like use that promo code.

     

    Retire his number. He meant no harm. He just likes hunting.

    I only saw the last five minutes but Slafkovsky looked good with Anderson and Monahan. 
     

    I continue to think Matheson stinks (outside of his skating abilities). He passes the puck away constantly in the Ozone and makes weak clearing attempts in the Dzone. He does this stuff every game and he was guilty of both in the five minutes that I watched. 
     

     

    Yep. I liked slafkovsky with Monahan.

    bit of trivia

    https://theathletic.com/3932731/2022/11/24/canadiens-kirby-dach-blackhawks/?source=weeklyemail&campaign=602288

    "In the last 10 years, Dach and Kotkaniemi are the only two forwards who arrived in the NHL at 18 and changed teams after only three years."

     

    If KK stayed and signed with Montreal, do they make the moves to pickup Dach? I think no. Time will tell, but so far so good on these two.

    Hutson is showing he can match up vs older NCAA folks.

    How will he do at the world juniors, should be a good test for him.

     

     

    Let's hope this can translate at nhl level. I know you're not supposed to get excited about prospects, but after he was drafted, I watched a bunch of video. I'm excited about this kid.
