Nice to see Galchenyuk, Radulov and Byron all with 2pts and another great shot and PPG by Weber. Pateryn was benched for something? Galcheyuk tied for 12th in scoring. Now on to 3gms in 4 nights again. Montoya will get game in Chicago I assume?

Juulsen again played well, 1g +4 in 4-1 win. McNivan yanked after 2g on 3 shots.

Trudeau won.

Juulsen had some good plays vs Russia.

Exactly, draft a big skilled forward 3rd overall, get him to be a 30 goal scorer 3 years later and then dump him seems very hard to believe ever happening.

Yes, that darn Gerard Gallant left it a mess that no one can seem to fix, at least not for past 3 years anyways.

That other guy wasn't drafted in the 1st round by current Mgmt though.

Andrighetto called up.

You see only 2 options? And you call Therrien plodding?

PP is 16th, but team is 4th in goals/game, so not where he would like his PP to be, but hopefully it will come.

Just don't have any real option besides Galchenyuk, so he is it for now and they will have a workaround for faceoffs as they seem to be doing now. I guess next off-season they will be on search for centre upgrade to help Plekanec-Galchenyuk.

He is much closer to being an elite winger than elite centre, safe to say isn't it? But, I guess we got to keep trying square peg in round hole until it is obvious to all where he should be playing. Galchenyuk is the guy who gets set up for one-timers and is not near as dangerous as a playmaker.,,is he? (e.g. last year more goals than assists- 30g 26a)

7yr $36.25 vs 6yr $23.4, I know grade 3 math might be difficult for some, but come on!

So you approve of coach calling out his players to the media do you?

All have an opinion, but why would you want to get rid of the best scoring winger the habs have had for 20 or 30 years (Kovalev had 1 good year with 40 good games and 40 he floated around chasing butterflies). Don't understand the thinking behind that?

Put on injured reserve (not sure if that is news or not?) supposedly will recall someone today Pacioretty missed practice also.

You think they are trading Galchenyuk, if could pry Tavares from the Isles I could see that. But back in realityland that is just goofy idea, but also heard others calling for Pacioretty to be traded now before he is washed up, which is just as silly and cynical.

153rd on faceoffs likely is part of reason. Also #1 centre on Habs is 50th in icetime, so much more balanced than most (all) teams and many top centres also play PK, which Galchneyuk virtually plays zero (0:07, 141st) because his defense is still a work in progress wouldn't you agree. But at 10-1-1 ya got to find something to try and complain about eh. Try again.

yes, he did nothing for 7, 8 or so games
