It looked to me he took a hard hit and didn't play after that. Might be injured although I haven't heard of anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Nice to see the boys bounce back after that shameful performance on Friday night. I gotta say, Philly has a pretty good team. They skate hard and play an aggressive style. I'm pleasantly surprised we've already beaten them twice this year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you add in the fact that I think they were on a 3 game win streak, rested in Montreal and are great with the man advantage where they scored most of their goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn or Desharnais would have been other options. They're playing a bit better but their defensive zone coverage is still nowhere near good enough lately. I woulda like to of scratched Markov, let Beaulieu take his spot for a game. Yes I guess would be Shaw, if it is either he or Flynn-Desharnais to sit, but they wouldn't do that neither and it will be Lehkonen sitting vs Bruins no doubt and would guess Pateryn stays in, seeing as it is the Bruins.

DON Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Plekanec, Pateryn & Markov get their 1st g. Desharnais 10:44 and +2, Lehkonen ended up with 8minutes. Not sure how man draws Galchenuk took, but won 64% of those, which is a good sign and 11pts in 12gms is nice production to start season. Glaring difference in Markov being -3 and Weber +15.

Guest Stogey24 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I honestly think Markov is too slow for today's game. He's fine in the offensive zone, but in the defensive end he's a disaster. He was holding hands with Petry on the right side numerous times for tap in goals against, because players were left all alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he is just a slow starter, or maybe has some minor injury; but, sad to say you could be correct. Guys have walked around him numerous times and really seems to of lost a step and I dont think he shone at Toronto Hockey tournament did he?

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 If Markov is the weak link, what does that say about our D-corps? He's a top-4 defender logging major minutes under the current configuration. This team has a significant structural need for a top-4 LD. The questions are whether or not the hole will be filled before the deadline, and what the return will have to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picks, young roster player and/or prospect would be cost one would assume, longer they keep winning the better of course, to allow the Patrick lottery teams to become clearer and become sellers. Commandant proposed Kulikov as one possible target sometime. "I think given the cap situation, if you get a guy who is a legit top 4 with multiple years that means the end of Markov. A guy like Kulikov, if he performs well, could also be re-signed ala Petry (also meaning the end of Markov in Montreal)." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire? He's still putting up a point every other game. Hard to replace those points internally or through UFA. I hope he re-signs as a high-end 5 guy who can do spot duty in the top 4.

Montreal plays a pretty aggressive style in their own end. Markov gets into trouble when he chases down the puck carrier. He can't get himself back into position after the puck is off X player's stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Аrpon Basu @ArponBasu Alex Galchenyuk rank among NHL centres with a minimum of 5 GP: G: 4, T-19th A: 7, T-11th Pts: 11, T-12th Avg TOI: 15:40, 85th 10:50 AM - 6 Nov 2016 8383 Retweets 9999 likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Still believe the next to go is Galchenyuk. Colorado will offer Duchene and Bergevin will jump on it to get a centre Therrien will prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also #1 centre on Habs is 50th in icetime, so much more balanced than most (all) teams and many top centres also play PK, which Galchneyuk virtually plays zero (0:07, 141st) because his defense is still a work in progress wouldn't you agree. But at 10-1-1 ya got to find something to try and complain about eh. Try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they are trading Galchenyuk, if could pry Tavares from the Isles I could see that. But back in realityland that is just goofy idea, but also heard others calling for Pacioretty to be traded now before he is washed up, which is just as silly and cynical.

Guest Stogey24 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I wouldn't even wave good bye to Pacioretty if a decent trade came along. As much as I think he's a great goal scorer with an even better contract. I'd have no problem trading him. but who am I, right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
