Losing streaks tend to be the best thing for this forum. Hardly any posts during winning streaks
1. people like to bitch more than cheer
2. nobody wants to jinx a win streak, so they sit quietly eating popcorn

Another reight out of left field trade by MB. I will bet no one saw this coming. And just what we need another 1/2 assed defenceman for the minors. Sheer genius I tells ya.

Pateryn takes Nesterov's spot in the line-up tonight. That makes sense considering Nesterov only played 12 minutes last game.
Don't really get the thought of Pateryn being available however. Unless Bergevin has another move up his sleeve we don't have anyone capable of playing 7th defenceman. We saw that it really didn't work with Redmond which is why he's in the AHL. Guess we could always call up superstar Johnston.
we just picked up Keegan Lowe, all is good now

I have Faith. The boys have had a couple of days to absorb the new way of doing things, Price is back. Le Genius took the blender and the Scotch with him, so I see a win coming up tonite. AV and the Rags are going down.

How dare you bring up Gretzky. I think Gretzky would have been considered too flashy for MT and his supporters here. He whined too much to the refs and disrespected other franchises by calling them Mickey Mouse organizations and tried to pad his stats too much by showing up teams by scoring unnecessary empty net goals and celebrating his goals like he never scored a goal before. He also had too big of an ego with his Mr. Big commercials. Worst of all he was a skinny wimp who couldn't fight his own battles and needed semenko to protect him. If it wasn't for a tough guy like semenko, Gretzky would never have been the great one. And how dare he let himself be called the great one!
you make some very good points. I wasn't thinking, of course he would have no place on this team. Far too flashy I am amzed he did as well as he did.

It is the 20% games that are the killer, like the last one combined with lost in space in own end and turnovers all add up being safer to put the kid on the wing.
Also, he might want to spend extra time practicing faceoffs and less on one-timers, if he wants to play top two centre role.
ya know the kid is a possession artiste. I think if you have the puck all the time, they don't. I think we should accentuate the positive, he is an offensive player, he will never be Plekanic but he will get us a lot of goals. Especially if he plays with Rads and Patches. Let the kid be who he is. A point producer. If he is always in their end with the puck that is good defense. I remember a young man named Gretzky, he was terrible in his own end, and nobody cared, mostly cause he was never there.

Ghetto cleared waivers, i'm not sure he has any value.
How much does Duclair have right now? I would say not too much.

I think you mean Andrighetto
Duclair had a pretty damn good 1st year, I don't know what happened to him this year. Could it be the dreaded sophomore jinx? Is he worth taking a gamble on? Giving up Ghetto for him seems a reasonable risk, since getto ain't exactly lighting up the lamp.

They'll come out of the break skating hard for the new coach, then hopefully MB adds a couple of pieces to keep it going.
Ok the skating hard thing didn't happen so let's go for the trade part.

After 4 years...i'm done with this player. I recall MB saying he wasn't sure where Galchenyuk fits in on this team...i say he doesn;t fit in.
To answer your question YES i do believe you are the only one.

I loved PK's time as a Hab, I really did. But the key word in your post was embarrassing. There were too many times to count that he did something that was embarrassing. And coming from a geographical area that is saturated with Leaf, Bruin and miscellaneous fans it was alot to deal with. We rode the highs with PK and we also rode the lows with him.
Ya know you get a guy like PK once in a life time. Yes he has charisma. Yes he is a sparkplug. Of course that is a bad thing
Because in the NHL you can;t have character, you can't have fun. No he is not a cliche kind of guy, but man you got to admit he was a lot of fun. He made mistakes bit dammit he cared about winning. With him it was all about the habs winning. He always gave his all, but he now plays for another team and while I may miss him, he is now an enemy.

Radulov is said to have been loving it in Montreal. Trading him would probably break his heart. Probably wouldn't come back. Only way you do that is if you know he wants to re-sign and will take a trade to help the team.
you cannot even think of "that trade"

Did somebody really entertain the idea of trading Radulov in this thread? We want to acquire another Radulov, not trade one away
Hey now you are talking.

If Julien doesn't work out, Bergevin is getting fired. He's out of bold moves.

It looked to me that Le genius simply could not adapt, he had his system and that was that. Last ear and this year he appeared completely lost when things went bad. I will say that he was a lot more mature behind the bench, damned near looked professional. They real really should have let him coach 1 last game with his mustart coloired jacket just for old times sake. He will get a job or he will get paid by until 2019. Not a bad deal if you can get. it. He can also fall back on his previous career as a bouncer. So long Le Genius it was fun while it lasted (NOT REALLY)
-
I don't know how much to read into this game, in reality it is the same team that Le Genius created. One good thing Price is back. So now the have a couple of days to practice, talk and figure this thing out. Most coaches hate Bye week, it just gets your team out of sync. They don't play till Tues when the will come out and kick the Rags ass. 39 games to the cup.

I mean it'd be interesting?
Jagr just too damn slow for this team.

Vanek has been such a band aid, but I do agree. Wouldn't have to break the bank and could potentially add another player...
Tyson Barrie is a guy I'd like to see in a Habs unifrom
Yeah I am pretty sure he would not come back if Le Genius were still here.

HIs contract is up this year anyways.
He will catch on somewhere, maybe Europe.

Gotta keep a close eye on Laine and that Scheifele guy.
Yeah they got some players. But we got more. Watch Carey forget to let any goals in tonite.

Just now, DON said:
Simply isn't a good spot for Desharnais anymore, so not sure what happens to him for next few months? Would anyone want him at trade deadline?
I am not too sure anyone needs a short hot dog eater. He had a good run, maybe someone will take him to expose him in the draft, hell maybe we will. (i think we will)

Well let's see what this kindly old coach; can do. They certainly should beat the Jets, who are on a downward spiral to the airport.

Sure, just trying to set him straight is all. Sorry, you didn't bug me...but now that Uncle Mike is on sabbatical, what will you find to be pissed off at...you must almost be in heaven this week?
No actually I was completely gobsmacked that they fired him. I do think CJ ( have to find nick name for him) is a step up. But really what about poor wee davey? His career probably just crashed and burned. And poor MB he has to show cj how the fox hole works.
When does Claude Julien get fired?

And beat upon them with a tablespoon. It was my dad's favorite saying, he was a classy guy.
