From their recent interview remarks, it sounds like that's what he and MaxPac sing to one another in the shower.
I'm a little concerned with Pax's statements - almost insinuating that he's a product of DD. So, does he slump (or pout?) when he's not on a line with DD? Not sure I've seen such co-dependent teammates.
-
Now that Desharnais has bagged some assists, I think this thread has become a bit unfair. DD isn't a goal scorer, so holding a lack of goals against him is judging him by the wrong standard (this was also true of Gomez, incidentally). If he can build on the Minny game to become, once again, a tolerably productive playmaking C, then this thread should be put behind us IMHO.
What is this "unfair" concept you're pushing here? What part of Montreal Canadiens do you not understand?
Desharnais scored 10 goals last season. Everyone in this poll scored 10 goals combined last season. The poll stays.
*drops the mic and walks away*
*snap snap* Uh huh!
Well I'll just continue posting progressively worse thematic songs until the thread's subject is resolved, thank you very much Mr. Cucumber.
Throw in suggestions of homoeroticism to make Colin happy and you've got yourself a casserole.
I like casserole!

He didn't score, but I bet he sang the song in the showers anyways. It also may have been a duet with Patches.
And how does that make you feel, Neech? Does that make you jealous?
-
So, the key to winning in the future: hammer Patch into the glass where it curls to the bench thus simulating his near-death experience and engaging his Wolverine Rage Factor.

Thanks refs. Good to know that at least you can help beat Carey Price. Don't want his ego or stats too inflated. Hey, why not make up another call or two while you're at it. Oh, no time left? Next time. Next time. ers.
-
Wow. I wanna play in the NHL so I too can do whatever I want to Subban and get away with it!
And somehow Briere gets a penalty for.. well I dunno what that was.
-
Patch. Il est en feu.
-
You kinda get the feeling that if DD *doesn't* score tonight, he may not again this season!
-
Chuck snipe. Sweetness.
-
DD and Briere. WHAT?
-
Tell me that wasn't a natural hat for Pat(ches)
-
Why is it that we can only have one line going at a time? There's enough talent out there, so why can't the other lines produce regularly as well?
Pax good stuff. DD - if that was DD and not someone wearing his shirt - good stuff.
EDIT: At least Eller and Chuck still make things happen, even if they can't bury it as much as they perhaps should.
-
Still doesn't change the fact he threw an opponents' stick in the direction of that opponent. You're 100% right in that it was a missed call but to me, throwing a stick is not an appropriate way to disagree with it.
He hit the net. There was no way to see if it was at the opponent.
-
And the French media goes wild...
I mean, ET LE BUT!
(Admittedly, DD is playing with far more confidence tonight.) Called back with the skate? Nice to see Patch go to the net regardless.
-
Could have went both ways, they let the obvious unsportsmanlike call on Subban go when he threw Cooke's stick up ice as Cooke was skating away.
I don't generally take issue with what you have to say but...
Really?
Subban threw the stick when he looked at the ref and saw no call. If gets a call for that, I support the suspension he takes when he berates the ref for blatant favouritism - or whatever term he chooses to use.

Nice slew foot on Subban. In front of the ref. Good call, sir, good call.
-
It started with a lost faceoff, then a couple of bobbles at the blueline and a Gionta offsides killed it.
Gio's offside was totally on Plex who zagged at the line when everyone was on a high speed rush.
-
Wow. Patches did a DD. Top of the slot, no coverage, and..... passsssssssss

Maybe that hit will wake Patches up.

Just to relieve a little of the "stupid self-inflicted Montreal pressure," some kid named Crosby has been comparably slumping as well and the lines were heavily juggled in Pittsburgh. So you know, maybe tone down a little of the Montreal Stupids.
EDIT: Just to be clear - we ALL have them to a degree. This isn't an indictment, merely an unemotional observation.

Also known as the Rob Ford defense...
"I smoked crack before, but I don't now, so why does it matter?"
I find myself watching more Toronto TV rather than Habs games lately because the former is SO much more amusing.

This is why MB playing hardball with Subban was stupid, as we probably could have got him locked up long term for under $6m. Hell prior to the lockout I was saying let's lock him up to a 12 to 15 year deal in the $5m to $5.5m range. We were talking about a kid who was committed to fitness and was an obvious top two dman.
You remember in the movie The Lion King when the monkey whacked Simba in the head with the stick?
"It does not matter, it's in the past."
We can go round and round and on and on about trading Patrick Roy for parts etc, etc, etc, ad nausea, but...
It does not matter. It's in the past.

I agree, I thought DD killed a lot of plays and was not effective at all and would sit Boullion or play all 7d-men, but am fine with any combo.
I love how DD goes to the top of the slot, sees the empty shooting lane, then curls into coverage and loses the puck. Maybe that's a planned play; throw the opposition off and keep them guessing!

My wife and I just got back to watching Arrow (early season 1). I have to say, thus far it's pretty well put together.

So, since we only ever have one line that's working on any given night, which is it tonight?
