    But if you've signed someone as a free agent with the intent of him taking a LD spot... what is a determined amount of time?

     

    You are essentially waiting for an injury, which isn't a determined amount of time. 

     

    To me, he has to be in the top 6. 

     

    Look at it from his perspective... I've barely played in the playoffs only getting games when there are massive injuries or in this game 4 when we are desperate and down 3-0.  Now you've signed a free agent to replace me and are sending me to the AHL.  Do I really have faith that I'm gonna be back in the NHL and ahead of this UFA signing, who was also ahead of me all playoffs?

     

    I don't think you go that road with a kid who is supposed to be part of your future and can be RFA and head back to Russia permanently in 2022.  He also has CSKA who tried to convince him to stay and is one of the Russian teams who aren't afraid to spend big.  

    That's not the fire I want to play with... and for who, Gustafsson, who is absolute shit at 5v5.  Nope, sorry. 

    I don’t think Gustafson gets re-signed. To think of playing him regularly over Romanov is madness.

  2. Marinaro tweeted that Petry dislocated the last two fingers on his right hand but the doctor was able to reduce the dislocation w/o surgery although he may need off-season surgery. Game time decision is probably on how is able to manage pain- hold stick and shoot.

    A lot of online chatter  from Habs fans and media,—I’m looking at you Tony Marinaro—is implying that the Jets are done. I hope that all the Habs are all thinking like Gallagher and are focused on putting the Jets away without giving them a glimmer of hope.

    If there is a game five on Wednesday, the start time has now been set for 8 PM EST.

    Playing merrill and gustafsson over kulak and romanov is ####ing stupid.

    We disagreed on this point previously, but now I agree—even if they win this is &@?!@&$!!!!! decision.

    I have gone from hoping that Durcharme be retained and Bergevin re-signed to hoping that they are both fired the day after the season ends. I wish neither man ill on a personal level but enough is enough. I’m not sure even a miracle come back in this series would change my mind at this point. 

  6. At this point I think that they should let  Tatar and Armia walk and only re-sign Danault if he agrees to an extremely team friendly contract. On d,  they need to add some skating and puck handling. I know that these are shocking revelations to you all. Who knew that an almost complete lack of offended from the D would be a problem?

    But would a Leaf collapse really mean that the team is better than they are showing?

    Would not matter. If mtl can come back from this maybe all of the character stuff we have been told about actually matters and it buys MB some time.

    I’m not ready to blow the thing up - unless by hoping Seattle takes Weber in the expansion draft equals blowing things up. 
     

    keep that young core. I don’t mind the new signings. Just let go of Danault, Tatar, Weber, Staal and turn this team over to the next wave. I’d keep Price given what is showing in the playoffs AGAIN when well rested. 
     

    Ducharme has shown me nothing, and I’m ticked enough to let Bouchard replace MB NOW. 

    I have been patient and optimistic—now I’m done. It’s time to move on from Bergevin and get someone new with a more modern approach. Only an epic Maple Laugh collapse will change my mind at this point

    I remember a Canucks playoff series against the Flames in 2015 when idiot head coachWillie Desjardins had a PLAN to spread the minutes around and avoid overtaxing the Sedins. The entirely predictable result was that the Flames owned the Canucks. There had to be an intervention from team president Trevor Linden to force him to change tactics after they were 0-2; Wee Willie Wonka refused to adjust on his own.

     

    It's a different situation, but this has the same feel to me: a coach who has overthought himself out of commons sense. Will DD have the humility to adjust if necessary? Guess we'll find out.

    He has been quoted by Arpon Basu  as saying that adjustments are part of the plan.

    I agree. It is a typical rookie head coaching mistake, actually - default to what feels "safest." Yes, it is a balancing act, but leaving all three out is erring too much on the side of caution and ignoring the strengths of Romanov and CC in particular.

     

    Heck, one reason the team was successful against PITTS was the confidence it showed in untested youngsters Suzuki and KK; the playoffs can often be a coming out party for promising young players. By sitting ALL of them you deprive the team of the chance to have that happen.

     

    Dumb.

    It’s only a mistake or dumb if they lose. If they win it’s called savvy coaching 😎
