  1. Last exam of the semester tomorrow... Wings and Habs game it is!
  2. I wouldn't be too worried about the "endangered" maple leaf either. I've heard that they have this amazing adaptation, a hypnotic one. They lure their prey (the harmless fan) for an entire year, and then when nothing can possibly go wrong, they implode and disappear. After rounding the fans up for years, they feed on the dead with minimal energy expended. Most people think the maple leaf is a plant, but it is actually a fungus! A common folk tale of this hypnotic adaptation is that the fans can often be heard saying "maybe next year"
  3. I would have voted Subban. The guy hardly gets any attention.
  4. There was about 8 or 9 minutes there when we didn't let Chicago take a single shot. Not teabag
  5. For a 5th? Anyone should take that deal. I hope they resign him for a similar price. Absolute gold for a solid bottom 6.
  6. Maybe Gomez would still be a Hab without the 7+ million dollar hit!....
  7. Yea exactly, there's a lot to gain by taking a little less than what you might be able to get.
  8. I actually find it strange that more people don't pull the Pacioretty and get a great deal for the team. Honestly, maybe it's just cause I'm a chump, but the difference between making 7 mill a year and 7.5 mill a year isn't that big of a change, but if everyone took a tiny hit like that, the team could save milllllllions. We're talking about being able to sign Vanek, Markov, Subban and still have room for more. How much do you think Pacioretty would fetch as an UFA if he had that status this summer? I think he'd be about a 6.5 million dollar player.
  9. Don't forget their x-factor, Callahan. Were talking about the ex captain of the rangers who went to the semis. (I think it was the semis)
  10. Blackhawks missing Toews and Kane, and they're still good. Hopefully these last three games we can finish strong, the lightening caught back up to us, a home ice would be nice. Max for 40 tonight! Go Habs go
  11. I don't think anyone said they would do a better job than Therrien. We criticize players too does that mean we think we'd do a better job? There's nothing wrong with questioning the team. Any part of it. The point of a thread is to discuss. Should we just stop because not everyone agrees? Therrien's actually grown on me in the last couple weeks. I guess I'm just not one to say "oh we have a winning record it's all fine and dandy" because what really matters is what happens in the playoffs. I think this team (with Therrien) could have a great post-season. I guess I'm just tired of mediocrity and want to finally see a contender, which is why I question
  12. Hahah not a fight! Just a discussion. I agree that as long as the Habs are winning, there isn't much reason to complain. I've been especially happy with the last couple weeks. I only have one question, and it's something no one can really answer but we'll all have our thoughts. Here it is: Is the Habs' record a result of a good team or good coaching? We aren't at that upper elite class yet like the blues bruins and Blackhawks, but were good. I just wonder if we could be better. Again, I don't have the answers, and I know Therrien's record is pretty damn great the last two seasons, but I honestly think the record is much more due to the talent of price subban, Pacioretty, now Vanek, the resurgence of Desharnais, two way play of pleky, and depth/youth we have. (Good on Therrien to not give up on DD?) I just don't know!
  13. I dont expect Therrien to be going anywhere if the Habs have any playoff success at all, but there are still quite a few complaints about some of the coaching decisions. Apparently Muller is gettin the boot from the Canes. Would it be nice to have him back? Even as an assistant coach for now, maybe he could be ready in a few years time? I'm not sure, I'm just not sold on Therrien
  14. So I missed the subban miscue. Less than 14 minutes of ice time for him? Ugh it hurts. I honestly feel like this is detrimental to him. Hasn't Markov given up goals the same way but Therrien looks the other way? Actually when Markov deflects an own goal Therrien probably buys him a pack of tissues and gives him more ice time to make him feel better. Of course subban screws up sometimes, but he deserves so much more respect. Sooo much more. Norris winner. Going to be a consistent 50 point defenseman. Should be used on the PK consistently. Honestly, there might be 2-3 better overall defenseman in the league. Weber, Keith... Doughty?
  15. So Pacioretty could score 40. You guys realize how amazing that is? When is the last time we had a 40 goal scorer? We started the game 0-3. It's 7-3. Wow. Wow. WOW?! Boy, that escalated quickly! Side note: Pacioretty hit 38 despite missing a significant time to injury. Who could have ever hoped he would turn out this good? Long live the Habs
  16. Was just looking at some stats and realized Pacioretty leads the league in game winning goals. Perry steen and ovechkin trail him by 1. That's some pretty good company. If he can keep that up in te playoffs he'll be a nightmare for TB. He's really established himself as a pure goal scorer this season IMO.
  17. His own 5 goals and 9 points in 11 games is Definatey helping. Close to a ppg is exactly what I was hoping for. And I actually like that he scores in clumps, it means he takes over games when he's on.
  18. Everything I've ever read about him has been positive. He doesn't seem to have a whole lo of offensive upside to his game, but he's a true leader and is one of the smoothest skating prospects we have. Who's a comparable?
  19. Guessing a standard entry level deal. Thoughts?
  20. Subby-doo top cheese, book it. Right side
  21. Ah, minus the Columbus loss and it's 5 in a row. Cheating is allowed right?
