Talent and the ability to engage it during games is what matters....character is overrated. All that character didn't produce a single goal against the Rangers, so MB can shove his misguided priority up his A** as far as I'm concerned. EDIT: whoops! Liked this post so much I somehow gave it the thumb's-up twice. Sorry about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyberius67 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I wonder if one of our 3 picks in the 1st and 2nd round doesn't turn into an NHL d-man before this evening is over now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 The thing is, you guys are saying that you don't mind a player doing coke, as an example and then showing up to the rink and dominating. What happens when such a player gets 76 points in the regular season but then has an off night in game 7 of the playoffs for the same reason? Do you care then? It's hard to imagine that living such a lifestyle wouldn't have a negative impact from time to time, and it just as easily could happen during the most important moments of our season. I don't expect it to be difficult to actually be relatively productive living such a lifestyle if you're used to it. Andre Agassi is one of the greats in tennis and he was doing Meth throughout the 90s. On the other hand, I wouldn't blame an organization for wanting to prevent the type of thing I mentioned before it actually happens. I'll admit that I wasn't fully happy with the way the Kassian incident was handled though and that we do seem to have a stricter policy than most teams.

I don't recall anybody saying galchenyuk is doing hard drugs. There's a difference between partying, drinking and a young guy making a poor choice in who is going out with. the issue in Montreal is that the tabloid style media and rumour mill makes mountains or if molehills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 All rumors aside of his off-ice activities. I'm not sure how solving scoring issues are solved by replacing and trading Galchenyuk. So far Galchenyuk has been more proven than Drouin, which don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of that trade. I actually think with Emelin getting picked, there's even more chance for Galchenyuk to stay on the team. The only coach he has ever had was Therrian, and Therrian is terrible at actually developing players. We have the cap space to sign Galchenyuk, Radulov and a FA defencman, paybe ever Shattenkirk @ 7 per for 5-7. I really believe that if we trade Galchenyuk now it'll be a McDonough type mistake unless we can bring a solid, young top 2 defenceman in return.

Otherwise, we have another typical lateral move year by MB. We may as well load up on offence and rely on Price. I also don't like shattenkirk. No way, i'd give him that kind of money, to a dman who is never going to be "the guy" he's a 2nd pairing dman. We are already paying a lot for our other 2nd paring guy.

Tiger Woods was really tearing it up and tearing up sluts, but when his wife found out and he had that accident, his career unraveled. I do wish people would stop craving the downfall of the best people in society. Nowadays, a hero can't be a hero. There has to be a sinister angle to their personal life.
