DON

Their goals for and against was middle of NHL pack last year and not sure they actually added any impact forwards up front did they? And they also need to battle some real western contenders often wont they? Playoff beast, haha funny guy.

pssst... that maybe is why you arnt a NHL GM! If you are basing your opinion on media reactions, that is your first huge mistake. And that is the total extent of his scouting report on Weber and always follows up with a "but Subban" ...this or that is better".

Heck no not you, it seems that you would rather eat glass before expand on anything positive about Weber, who is the new Habs stud. Odd stance for a so called Habs fan?

Can Mike Zipp skate well enough to make any impression at rookie camp?

http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Habs-Talk/Price-Speaks-by-Andrew-Saadalla/219/79021 just a bit on Price's comments.

Juulsen gets 1a, 1g1a in 2pre-season gms. How will he look at Hab camp wonder? Can he be 100% recovered from broken jaw and weight loss? McNivan stopped all 18 shots in 1/2 gm couple days ago.

Well then, wont he make a nice Predator and just hope he likes country music.

Considering got knocked out each of those years, primarily due to lack of scoring, pretty low bar to say carried anything but of course his huge ego. Also playing 1/2 of each game and every second of the PP (which simply sucked), he should score a few points than Doug Murray shouldn't he?

Who said Weber was slow? Subban carried the offense, exactly when was that? Who gives a rats behind what his analytics are (other than one lawyer-type fellow on here of course) and I just expect he will play well period. Agree, will be interesting to see how much faith they put in Nate and how he will respond if given prime minutes.

No didn't get it, went right over my head I guess, no worry not important.

See, even 29 agrees that you are out to lunch and if Flames hadn't made trade, the Habs might have 25th banner, not lost cup on home ice and Flames would have same # cups as Winnipeg. Meanwhile St Louis spun its wheels for a decade, but had one good sniper. Same likely in Nashville, where they are middle of pack in NHL goal scoring and adding a d-man who dosent score a lot, unlikely will change that.

That's right, if not an impact player, you are irrelevant to the roster and don't even deserve a ring do they, useless bottom six and 3rd pairing guys didnt get any GWGs, did they, so screw them and the injured guys shouldn't even be in the team cup winning picture.

Objective, hmmm. Most stuff I would agree you are better than most, this topic though...

You on the wrong thread, liquored up or something? I cant see connection between the two posts?

Come on Eeyore, you forgot any scenario that Habs win the cup.

Of course when Subban leads the NHL in one category, but isn't a positive one...is not indicative of anything. Holy horseshit Batman, talk about cherry picking. But why of all the 'elite' players with a ton of turnovers, does Subban lead the way across the NHL every year? Does he handle the puck that much more than any other 'elite' NHLer? Am sure some goofy theory would explain it; like, the rink stats guys are all out to get him.

And him leading NHL in turnovers for years, likely doesnt help when add in that he also are a risk taker (thank god Price was there to bail him out), as seen by several game costing gaffs and fellow teammates chastising him after bonehead lone-wolf plays. And when he tries to go end to end, looks good and fancy but ineffective and normally puck is headed in other direction in short order, unlike a Karlsson rush. A Subban rush has as much a chance of scoring as his shooting from the point does. Again, he isn't a Hab anymore, he is a member of the team with the ugliest uniform's in the league, so why keep beating dead horse and trying to pump his tires.

Bah... is hunting season now, so screw the goofy meaningless exhibition hockey. Nother 5 or 6 weeks till real hockey starts and just 10 days till rookie camp to follow.

Bum buddy? Are you saying they are homosexual lovers? I didn't know that, not that there is anything wrong with that, of course! But, you mean that simply in more a negative way I presume?

That is just so sweet, 'a perfect image for a perfect coach'.

Just curious,you would trade Galchenyuk for him, even up? I don't know much other than Trochek stats, which he has one good year so far, but was just a 25g season with much more icetime than Galchenyuk had.

Only Juulsen played in CHL yesterday, but he did get a goal in 3-1 pre-season win.

Liar...isn't a fancy stat and many would argue seems wrong choice often. And many might only give Subban's Norris 1/2 value for only playing 1/2 a year to get it.

Right thing eh? Anyways, yes I am a bit anxious about Price's durability due to track record.

Ekman-Larsson maybe will get one this year? He seems quite a underrated d-man.
