    So you base your opinions of who would be a good pick not by your own eyes but what you are told second hand.

     

    Sorry if im not going to give you a pat on the back and a good job for regurgitating what others said.  Look at me im so smart i can repeat mckenzie and button and i wanted kreider in 2009.  Sorry not giving you an ego boost cause you were "right" about a prospect you never saw.

     

     

    You didn't have to give him a pat on the back, Commandant, but you didn't have to jump down his throat either.  I form a lot of my opinions from sportscasters, hockey magazines etc... and although I acknowledge that doesn't make me an expert, I can still state my case.

     

    I just don't want another thread to dissolve into personal attacks, so how about we all play nice, ok? :1gohabs:

    Fixed that for you, I think Drouin has been productive as well and doing fine, isnt he? Weber, Alzner, Byron, Shaw, Lehkonen, Hudon, Gallagher, and numerous others also have played well...Benn, Strait, Morrow, Galchenyuk, Price, Petry 50% of time not so much.

     

    I agree to a certain extent; there have been plenty of positives, but Mete's performance has been the most surprising to me, while the others have merely met my expectations, I suppose.

     

    And I haven't written off the season yet!  Just commenting up to this point (crystal ball is still broken).

    Galchenyuk was understandably integrated slowly when he was just 18 and gradually built his game up until two years ago when he scored 30. Even if a bunch of those goals were scored towards the end of that season when the Habs were basically eliminated and therefore the intensity was at a lower level during those games, 30 goals is 30 goals.

     

    Last year he was doing great until he got injured. Now let's face it, he has been horrible (with a few exceptions) ever since. It's not the coaches, it's not his line mates, it's him. He's mentally fragile since and is not showing a high enough level of intensity and desire for the coaches to have confidence in him. I'm disappointed, because the fans and the organisation had a lot of hope that he would solve our problem we have had at center for the past 25 years or so. He just doesn't have the hockey IQ to play center. 

     

    He either works his way out of his funk, which I now have doubts that he's able to, or we move on and trade him, which is what I would do if we could get decent value. If not, let's stop trying to find who's responsible for his poor quality of play, HE is responsible. Let him play wing and hope he gets some confidence back and leave him alone.

     

    Excellent first post! Welcome to HW!

    I know breaking your stick and trying to defend without one is pretty much a lost cause. But Galchenyuk  just looked so clueless out there when broke his stick in own end, when he could of at least covered one player, blocked a shot, or gone to bench to get stick. I was just thinking at the time that he should try and just do something-anything instead of spinning in circles in open ice!:blush:

     

    Or am I being overly critical of him?

    Yes, because I am 95% sure that was De La Rose...

    Sorry but was the 5% and was the russian kid with no stick...Rose was there on same shift, but had his stick. 

     

    So was I being too hard on lil Alex?

     

    I'm pretty sure that DLR broke his stick and Chucky passed him his FWIW

    75-76-75gms in 3 yrs before hip surgery last year, so who knows, but that is still a nice pessimistic outlook you got there.:popcorn:

     

    Why thanks!

     

    Honestly, I carry a grudge from 2009 when I had drafted him pretty high in all of my fantasy leagues... and he played all of 22 games.  Can't shake the feeling that he's a bandaid boy, but sit corrected to see the decent GP the last 3 years.

    Well I figured I just wrote out a couple sentences with extraneous information, but the added context wasn't really all that important to the main point, so...

     

    Tldr: Decided to summarize. 

     

    Hahaha and now we're down to one sentence!

    Ben is traveling with the team, could return in the next couple of games.

     

    Montoya is not traveling with the team, but could join the team during the road trip.

     

    Tldr: both day-to-day

     

    Thanks!  I like that your assumption is that two sentences is too long for me to read! :lol:
