You have been bashing him ever since he was drafted. It gets old. There should be plenty of negative fodder on this team without suggesting continuously that he is the cause of all our troubles. Let the kid play, and we will see where we are in a year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really,,,give the kid a break! He also nearly ran a Shark through the backboards on his 1st shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping McCarron succeeds is one thing, but expecting him to get pp time makes no sense. He is not an nhl top 6 prospect. As a screen, I see it makes sense to use him on the PP, why not...is the PP on fire as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could of been called on a couple more, but looked like a very selfish penalty for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I couldn't watch this one, but it sounds like a debacle (yet another arse-kicking by a 'heavy' western team; until we show we can consistently beat such teams, how are we supposed to be contenders?). The Habs are icing a roster without a single legitimate top-6 C. It's not surprising to hear that Max Pac and Radulov struggled, for instance. So I suspect there will be a fairly steady diet of such nights over the next while. I wish someone could explain what Gallagher's problem is. Historically Mr Consistent, he has basically stunk since game one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically Mr Consistent, he has basically stunk since game one. Gallagher's game seems to of softened and he isn't going hard to net as he did before. Cant recall last time he ended up on top of any goalie "accidently on purpose". He said he has spoken with refs about what is/isn't a penalty, which may be part of issue also?

CerebusClone Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Gallagher is Gallagher... I think mostly people's expectations of him are way too high. He's on pace for a good Brendan Gallagher season, around the 45-point mark, which is even better this season considering he hasn't been on the top line for most of the season (although he raked up the points early on with Pacioretty and Galchenyuk). His production depends heavily on how well his teammates are playing, he's been stuck with Plekanec for a while, and recently mostly skating with Mitchell and Byron (they did pretty well I thought).

Where did I say he was the cause of all our troubles? You assume I say things, that i didn't say... and then you argue against them? Wow. All i said against him was that he isn't scoring in the AHL, expecting him to come in and be a top 6 player in the NHL is kinda silly. Suddenly thats blaming all of the team's problems on him. Wow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 i still think drafting a player with 3rd line upside in the first round is a massive mistake... yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change my point. what would you rather have One Max Pacioretty and two busts.. vs McCarron, Chipchura, and Danault I'd rather go long shot and swing for the fences every time than try to draft third and fourth liners. If i get some busts,, oh well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have no idea, but was there anyone like Pacioretty available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 There were plenty of swing for the fences picks available.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The choice is rumoured to be between Mike McCarron and Jacob de la Rose. Habs went with McCarron and then took DLR in the second round. Montreal also offered Pacioretty and the 25th pick for Wayne Simmonds and the 11th pick which went to Sam Morin. Not sure if the deal went through if the Habs would have taken Morin (Domi is right there!) but if so he is looking like a big bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Bergevin called him a cornerstone piece and the two games he's been up this season, he's played great... Half those guys you named went late in the second and have done nothing in their careers. Shea Theodore probably wasn't even on Bergevin's radar either. Teams draft for needs. McCarron when inserted into this line up, brings something no one else can. Like it's a late first round pick. Take a breath bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
