DON Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 He's a $5M cap hit. If we can entice the 'Nuck-Nucks to sell him somehow, I'd be pretty stoked. Would be a nice day in Toronto before Canucks trade a top 4 d-man for spare parts. A Plekanec..maybe would do it. Bergevin needs to find another goon first.

Bergevin needs to find another goon first. I would say that you're crazy, but when they showed his reaction in the box, Bergevin didn't look sickened or concerned, he was pacing back and forth as if he was saying "what do we do now?" I don't think Parros will be out for long. When you get hit in the chin, that's when you get knocked out cold. It seems almost like the lesser hits to Savard and Crosby keep them out longer than the hit to Eller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems almost like the lesser hits to Savard and Crosby keep them out longer than the hit to Eller. I saw him leave the screen when they showed the close up of the box and appear at ice level a few minutes later when Parros was being taken off. I suspect he probably wasn't thinking about what to do next at that particular moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is a good opening for White or Bournival, who can actually play hockey. Still got Tarnasky I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankhab Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Reflecting on the game, I thought it was very sloppy all around, and, as usual, the habs got caught up trying to out-goon the leafs. When the habs stick to hockey and forget the other nonsense, they tend to do much better against the leafs, as in the last game of the season last year. Too many penalties, and no execution on the power play is what really cost the game. And Markov looked really bad, I'm hoping he's just warming up, but he looked kind of slow and wasn't his usual slick passing self on the pp. I thought Price could have been better, but that last goal was just unfortunate. The Eller line was great, especially Eller, who really needs to be the top centre in ice time on the team. I think his ceiling is much higher than people think.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm just going to treat this game like most Habs openers. We play an 81 game season with one extra preseason game that counts as two points for others. Seems like the team does too. Don't be surprised to see them flying next game. Heck they've had a long enough break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the main goal is to come out with two points, but it seemed like the Habs were trying to prove a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 So, who's doing tomorrow's GDT? Also, it appears Beaulieu will once again be on the roster for the game, expect a callup announcement sometime today (hopefully after 5 PM).

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I honestly think that Montreal was going out to show teams they're not going to be pushed around this year. Obviously the main goal is to come out with two points, but it seemed like the Habs were trying to prove a point. They were trying to both win the game despite a mediocre defence corps, and trying to make a point. And they would have made that point very effectively - they had the edge on TO in the fight department all night - if Parros hadn't suffered that freak injury. Now, the psychological message is that the Habs got pulped, and we're right back to where we were last season (except that we're smaller, courtesy of trading Cole for Briere).

I'm just interested to see what M.B does if Parros goes on long term disabled list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Once again, it only takes one person to do the GDT. Don't forget our tradition that if you lose, you can't do the next GDT (so someone else besides me needs to do today's)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's nice I guess, but it's not like the entire forum is on board with it. We used to have a few regular people do GDT's so it hasn't been much of an issue until recently. It's important to me to not have one or two people feeling that it's now just their responsibility. The GDT's don't have to be all fancy, it doesn't take long to start a new thread and copy/paste some lines in so it shouldn't be an issue for someone to take a couple of minutes and get something going.
