  1. We are lucky to have a guy like Max as a captain........ever thought of looking at it that way???

    No? I look at it from the perspective that the 4 A system was working and he likely won't hit 30 snipes this season. A drop in production is concerning and I still think he F***s the dog some nights. I wish we had a Captain like Toews or Jamie Benn.

  2. 6mill? hmm trade pleks for him?

    Why? Plex has better production than Ladd over the course of his career. That would not be an upgrade whatsoever. It's been stated so many times it's almost like beating a dead horse at this point; Plex is in the wrong role and until that big name Center comes (or if he ever does), he will continue to be under the microscope.

  3. That's bad news as far as I'm concerned...

    On a side note; who do you guys like in today's Super Bowl?? Everything and everyone seems to be on Carolina but I have my doubts..

    Not everyone is on Carolina? According to a site I use which tracks wagering activity on 5 of the major offshore sportsbooks, almost 63% of public money is going in on denver moneyline at the moment. A slight edge for spread however with 53% of the publics money siding with Carolina at -5 or -5.5 points.

    IMO Carolina runs away with it and wins by 15+

  4. Canada's currency is borderline 3rd world now. Putting a team in Quebec is less likely to happen than Donald Trump shaving his head bald for charity. The only expansion team that makes sense right now is Las Vegas; mainly because the casinos can eat up a lot of seats and give tickets away as comps. Bettman would be stupid not to place a team there.

  5. what would it take for the Habs to land Yakupov?

    I was looking back to the 2010-2011 season where him and Chucky played on Sarnia Sting in the OHL. Maybe he is exactly the player Chucky needs to play with? It also helps that they have previous chemistry already.

    For Yak:

    65 GP 49 G 52 A

    For Chucky:

    68 GP 31 G 52 A

    just some food for thought, especially with Yak underachieving on the Oil

  6. Oh please... a fighter prevents injuries.

    Lets cut the Don Cherry bullshit.

    You are acting like the HabsWorld version of Don Cherry. This isn't commandantworld.net! If it was, this forum would have 0 followers.

    I can't take anything you write as valid from this point forth considering you just shared an article on a one year turnaround (complete bullshit)

  7. The Paul Byrons, Torrey Mitchells, and Bryan Flynns of this team have done much in terms of production... they've been better than the fourth liners we've had in a long time.... its the rest of the lineup that isn't doing shit.

    You are missing the point. I am not questioning any of the above players mentioned skills or the fact that the Canadiens finally have a deeper roster; sometime a team requires a BOOST. Not like anyone has answered the bell during this slide? Maybe if they watched Scott get in a tilly or two they will get a much spirited lift. I don't care if it's a one game stint or he finishes the season in Montreal. Also, since the rest of the lineup isn't doing 'shit', why not substitute one of those players out for him to put in perspective how SHIT they are really playing?

  8. 1) Who cares what fans think of his pre and post game interviews?

    2) Your perception? or the reality? Max is amongst the leaders in the entire NHL in third period goals over the last three years. He leads the entire NHL in Game Winning goals. The idea he is a ghost at key times just isn't reality. Are there some games he gets shutdown? of course but that happens to every player in the NHL. No team goes 82-0. The fact is that max has been a key player at key times.

    3) This idea that max is a perimeter player isn't true.

    4) The teams record when trailing after 2 is similar to every other team in the NHL when trailing after two.

    5) There is more to leadership than Rah-Rah Cheerleading.

    1) Most fans care about what their Captain has to say on matters and situations. That's a fact.

    2) The fact is Max hasn't been Max this season and maybe getting rid of the C and going back to 4 A's would be beneficial, kind of what I was hinting at in the first place. Some leaders embrace it, others see dents in production because of it.

    3) That's great and all but it's outdated by several years. It's about what he has done for the team lately as a LEADER.

    4) Where are his 3rd period snipes this season?

    5) You have a very polarized perception of leadership. We will agree to disagree
