"That's why they play the game!" You don't seem like a cheering 'parade-type', nor one who would appreciate a pretender winning a cup? But I wouldn't be purchasing anything for another 4-5 months, she is a frickin long season.

Can you basically eliminate sub-catagories? or I guess fewer may work fine? (seems fine as is as well and I don't know what you have already tried in past.)

"Coach T" I like that! Or "Mr.T" would of been good, but was already taken. Respect for results seems good to me, although some say they have been winning 'despite' Coach-T and that a Babcock (who refused to play PK) would have this team firing on all cylinders and not being shut out several times, nor starting every game sleepwalking.

Gilbert would easily be best d-man, unless they have traded/signed some new d I haven't heard of yet? YES, you got it, they have told both young d 'keep working hard, get stronger-faster-meaner and be more consistent to earn a spot." what else would you expect them (or any team) to say to its prospects.

Yes, but still seems a long list of Hab prospects getting injured, but maybe average? Anyways, just sucks that will be a set-back in his development, when he was doing very well and possibly made Russian world Junior team?.

14-51-81 & 27 must be the 4 I would guess?

Wonder if loss was more due to fatigue, or simply overestimating a non-playoff team/listening too much as media jump on bandwagon!

Was said he didn't stay overnight in hospital but did leave on crutches.

not a big fan eh

Great to hear he didn't stay overnight in hospital, but leaving on crutches is not great to hear.

Does it rhyme with mulva?

Name two teams currently doing better than Habs with DD as top six centre?

Pretending ....what are you talking about,,,,,i simply quoted 2 facts that are indisputable and seem to bring DD's role into better perspective. OK, how bout DD gets 14.85pt/million Max (whose contract is supposed to be one of best in league) gets 12.22pts/million Just the facts sir, you can infer all you like.

If Douglas worked his as off in ECHL, then same in AHL and is doing well at NHL level then, yes Douglas would likely get some PP time. (would I switch up personal, I think so but also would of traded DD for nothing last fall) DD averages 52points/year or 0.63ppg for $3.5/yr, Max averages 55points/yr, 0.67ppg for $4.5m/yr with same icetime. SO, I guess same question to you, should Pacioretty be on the PP or making too much$/value-offense?

I like Perron's gritty play and he seems a smart player, but will Bergevin mess with lineup again so soon and esp since Eller-Sekac seem to work well together?

seems reasonable swap.

AND, so what would exactly you do to make this team win more often, scratch DD?

Gotta ask, any inkling on Mr. Throwers' rehab?

Hudon 5th in AHL scoring and tied for 1st among rookies. Not bad at all.

I (all?) would take Reilly over Beaulieu, but not over Galchenyuk.

BUT THE SUTOUTS...what about the shutouts, it has to mean sky will fall sooner or later! (But, I think loss mostly my fault for suggesting maybe going 5-0 on back-end of back-to-backs)

just you

He was/is underestimated often. Players like he & Datzyuk I think are simply smarter than most.

More or less agree, but still think vet depth is good and important to have, team isn't doing so terrible is it, Gilbert isn't much different than was advertised, so not in favour of any trades at present.

Nice player, not a huge contract, am sure numerous teams would offer more than Habs might.
