Exactly thats what I've read from you... thats what I've read from MOLG, thats what I've read from CC, thats what I've written... but some people like to create strawmen and then just take them down....
Pretty much has to be done in order to keep defending the $3.5 million sub 30 point man.
Nice clique. You girls go to high school together too.

Not straight up, but If I'm moving Beaulieu its as part of a package for a true game breaker. Someone like Matt Duchene. (and yes I know we'd need to add to that package)
Habs finally getting depth a D and we should trade to get a game breaker.
How are those game breakers doing for the Oil, Aves............ if ya got no D , it wont matter if you have Duchene. Ask the Patrick Roy about that.
-
Please call me when Eller gets more than 30 points in a season... Something Plekanec does only counting Even strength points every year....
Its an absolutely asinine and moronic argument to even suggest that Eller is comparable to Plekanec offensively... absolute idiocy. There is no other way to put it.
No comment.
These posts are cool are they?
If I put this up i would be suspended .

Its time the first line showed up. Get this game tied.
He's got two assists tonight.... one to stempniak and one to ghetto.
how many does powerplay Pleks have. ?
-
Terrible play by Eller. Terrible.
Getto scores ! Awesome play by Eller . awesome
-
Devils goal...now that's a one timer.
Fourth line playing well.
-
Loving the Habs top four D.
-
Plek can't one time the puck. Jesus man. He needs to practice
Every fan ,coach, commentator, goalie, line mate, and usher would agree.
He one times that perfect pass its in the back of the net.
-
Yes! Credit to Therrien for making that call. As well as Pateryns stellar play.
Wait, I thought "politics" ruled that out???
Untill now it did.
Even the most casual fan could see Pateryn should not have been pulled for Emelin based on their play on the ice. Some were actually "mad" and stated so on this site. Then Emelin came in and proved it. Politics came first putting Emelin back in. However politics lost because there is just too wide a gap between the stellar play of Pateryn and the out right dismal play of Emelin.
The right call
-
Even the best superb scouts of all time will tell..."at 18 its still a crap shoot"
Jamie Benn being a great example. There was superb scouting going on at the time.............and ever team passed on him again and again and again and again.
-
Yep. Habs lead the league in goals. Trading away NB to try improve scoring would be ludicrous.
-
Thats fine, I'm hoping we trade him for someone who is better.
Don't hold your breath
I have been "hoping" for a "better" number one center at play off time since 09.
Cap era has it's sad truths
The days of solid players 1 thru 12 up front, and 1 thru 6 on the blue line are long gone.
I think every fan of every team see players on the club they dont really like, or think and improvement on that player is needed. Evey team also has their Gilbert, Emelin, Eller, etc. But the cap mandates you carry them. Ya get the most ya can out of them.
Some one mentioned the 89 finals on here the other day. Flames Habs. Look at the line ups of those two teams. Stacked with superstars and hall of famers! Go as late as the Aves against the Red Wings 02. Stacked teams through out the line up! Fourth line of Datzuik,Robitille Zetterberg.
The star players that used to dominate those line ups would be spread out over six to eight teams in the cap world of today.
If ya think you can just trade Eller and get a 35 goals scoring sniper just because Chucky and the team need one you got the wrong era.
Like Brett Hull said. "Five first line guys and fifteen carboard cut outs instructed to play the same way".

The report(s) I heard about on Leblanc were that he needed to work on his skating. A fact that was mentioned while he was playing at the WJC. Obvious while he played in Hamilton too.
But the reports on Tavares said that too.
-
As I recall, the consensus opinion was that Leblanc was a legitimate hockey pick.
Except in egregious cases, I don't think it pays too much to wring our hands over any specific pick that doesn't work out. You know, fans say things like, 'why didn't we pick Zetterberg??' when in fact every team passed on him about six times. It's not an exact science...and let's face it, a lot of us thought Leblanc would amount to something when he first came up.
So true. Gallgher went 5th round the same year Chucky went 3rd over all.
Subban was 43rd pick
Lucic went 50th.
Jamie Benn went in the what 6th round?
Dallas has several gems everybody passed on.
Two that still sting for me was that we passed on Giroux and Getzlaf,
-
Thurston Howell III
GO HABS

Was Emelin trying to see if he could set the record for most turnovers/give-aways during one shift?
And sorry to say he has been around long enough now, that his puck handling and decision making with puck is what it is...just a smidge above Crankshaft.
They should put a sign on him...Do not ever pass me the puck!
Well Put ! Make up the sign. -
89 was good year also, just darn Lanny MacDonald and Gilmore ruined it in the end!
I was at game 4 of the 89 final . Habs were leading series 2-1 after an ot win in game three. Gilmour and Macinnis were out standing as the Flames beat us that night. Rest is history as they say.
Serge took over as GM in 83 with a five year plan. Won the cup in year three of that plan. Habs were contenders every year from 84 to 95-96. Then the darks came and stayed.
Never really fully recovered for any length as we still stunk years later, in 02, 03, 04, 07, 09, 012
But like the classic tune by Free, everything is "All Right Now"
But until i see the Habs battling in the Stanley cup Finals, the recovery is still in process.
-
I could tell from the day he came back he wasn't right. He's almost over compensating on his good side to stay off his bad. This honestly could be bad news for Price's future
Not the Halak scenario I hope.
Is it groin or knee? I dont even know for sure. Hip?
-
Like him at the helm.
Stanley Cup or bust.

No, it's not a guarantee that he will now have those attributes, but those are things that can be affected by someone with addiction issues. My point is, IF he stays clean, we can almost safely assume he will be a better hockey player because of it. Someone that is out on the town all night has a different frame of mind than someone sober in bed early. You cannot be consistent if you are hungover every other day, you cannot be disciplined by definition if you are boozing it up in excess and the work ethic will not be comparable to a sober counterpart. Seemingly Kassian is the type of person who goes over the edge in terms of drinking and or drugs. There is no moderation or just having a few. It will be a difficult challenge for him travelling around the world with his teammates, who will be drinking and going out on occasion, it's all that he knows. He needs to be totally clean for it to work out for him and I hope for his sake that it does.
All true and good.
Fluery played better BEFORE he tried getting clean and sober. But that's Theo. One of a kind. ha!
I dont know anything about Kassians addiction or alcoholism. Or if he is in fact suffering from either. Fact that he is in rehab suggests he is. Although many "party animals" have did a stint in rehab simply to save their jobs or please the boss. However, if Kassian has been using booze and or drugs as a crutch and subsequently became addicted, when that crutch is gone the regular day to day activities will be rather awkward for spell. It's like the final and the biggest hang over of all. Once that clears up they are good to go. Kassian is early in a process of getting it all back on track. We are about to see what type of character Zack Kassian is really made of. I'm rooting for him!

WE already have about 3 million in cap space.... thats why I advocate clearing 3.5 million more
Gee wonder where ya got that figure? lol
Larry was a beast tonight!
-
Best game since they beat the Blues !
Hated rangers. Looks good on Lunquist.
Concerned about Price.
-
Not a bad idea with the score where it is...let guys know that if they want to run you, there might be a steep price to pay.
Love the kid. -

lol I get ripped, bashed, cut up by posters on the board for everyone to see.
Then I get cautioned by the boss, not by PM, but right here on the board.
Habs Rule comments questions this and suddenly its lets "stick to the topic" and "feel free to PM me about the other stuff". ( unless you want to rip Habs30/31 ...feel free to put in large bold letters and pictures)
I dont need a brick to fall on me.
Thanks Habsrule, enjoy the rest of the season boys! (all what...eight? of you that is)
GO HABS !
Good Bye
