I think he has a greater chance of acting like an actual GM instead of turning the Habs into a complete gong-show. That said, in managerial terms, that's a choice between Clown 1 and Clown 2...God forbid either of them takes the helm. Same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Nice play on the board by Toffoli, leading to the 2 on 0 by Caufield and Suzuki for the win three additions credited to MB needle nudged back to keeping him we’ll see how game 6 turns out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Its 9 years. Carey Price and Brendan Gallagher are basically the only players he didnt acquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 We need one or two more Pacioretty type trades. Suzuki is a keeper, his passing skills and Caulfield's shooting skills could be a great combination for years to come. They need a big bruising winger to complete them, one that can skate.

Well, Anderson is the prototypical winger you just described. Too bad they’re both RW! And such power wingers don’t grow on trees. Anyway, there is a long history of *pairings* mattering more than lines per se. I can easily imagine Suzuki-Caufield eventually anchoring the first line with a rotating cast of LW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI: Eric Crawford is director of scouting, Timmins is an AGM. Assume Timmins maybe still 'in charge' of that though, but what do i know? Is blowhard Macguire better than Crawford?

alfredoh2009 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Seems like MB’s team is proving critics wrong with the way he has constructed this team. Not perfect, far from it: but strong on character and playing for each other one more game to go to see if he survives or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coach that only trust 4 of his D men isn’t a well constructed team. the Habs have won 3 games either in spite of their GM or in spite of their coach … but not both.

Chris Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 He isn;t proving anything 2 goals or less in all 6 games, 2 OT winners to get them to 3, If it wasn;t for Price, he would have been canned years ago.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I agree with Commandant, it doesn’t matter anymore if Bergevin and/or Ducharme are idiots or not. Using 4 Dmen for a deep Stanley cup run? Who cares Just win baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Shoot, my bad, i thought it was 3-2 again Either way that was only the 11th time in Price's playoff career they scored 3 or more, absolutely pathetic. Maybe 12 0r 13 depending on how OT is counted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
