Guy just watched Martinsen get crunched and did absolutely nothing about it. He's hear to add toughness, but his play is the furthest thing from it. Go back to L.A. I have yet to figure out what his attraction was, oh wait, it's Mark down Marky. The guy was cheap. Nuff said. Is he good at eating hot dogs cause that is where he belongs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an area he's pretty effective in - we've seen it a few times already tonight. As things slow down in the playoffs and the cycle game becomes a bit more prevalent, I think Bergevin wanted someone who could help in that area while (in theory at least) being able to move up in a pinch. The Kings had him in the top six at times when injuries struck although it's hard to see why based on what he's done so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Does King know all the names of his team mates at this point? And could he pick them out of a lineup? .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 That's a weak play by Emelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Gallagher with a 4 point night, Radulov re-awakens, and the Habs are officially in the playoffs (in about 5 minutes)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs owned the 70's Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm liking Martinsen more than King at this point. He made something happen almost every time he came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try Chucky at centre again with Shaw and Lehkonen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Bobby Orr Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 All the lines looked good tonight. Could just be the Panthers are a bad team...but Habs looked very good for full 60 minutes. Great to see CJ tell Shaw to shut-up on the bench (when he starting yapping at the refs)...lol. CJ is the man. King, Martinsen and Mitchell might make for an interesting fourth line. I thought King has his best game as a Hab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he could hit, screen the goalie etc I would go with that But I think we are grasping at straws. I have never really heard of that being a big talent. I thought that was why we had defencemen.

DON Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Now tied with Rangers for 6th in the league, great to see some offense and beat a bad team pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 With a healthy division lead I'd like to see all the regulars get a couple games of rest, at least Markov, Weber and Rads. Badly timed injury for Montoya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give him as much rest as possible before the was begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I watched the game at a sports bar last night! It felt good to win a game so easily! I agree with most of you, Markov, Weber, Rads and maybe Price should get some nights off. Make sure they are well rested for the playoffs! I also liked what I saw from Martinsen, the big boy can skate! Also, Beaulieu probably played one of his best games as a Hab. Let's hope that this is only a little taste of what he can bring in the near future! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it could be going the other way in a hurry. Being good at the cycle game is something I've heard plenty of GM's refer to in the past as well.

Commandant Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The issue is that the King we are seeing in Montreal, and the King who played in LA appear to be different players. He looks like hes not trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like hes not trying. I see him as being pretty much the same player as he was in LA. King is what he is, not the greatest player in the world. Where he can be effective though is in the offensive zone when his line has possession going for extended periods of time. This is why I can see how he would be a decent player to move up in the lineup like Brian alluded to, if someone in our top 6 gets injured. With more skilled linemates, comes more offensive zone time. With players like Martinsen, Ott and Mitchell, it's pretty much a quick dump and chase or a quick chance and out of the offensive zone. I imagine him to be kind of a bigger and slower Smith-Pelley so the expectations aren't very high. I think he'll be relatively effective come playoff time when the grind becomes a little tougher. Here's to hoping. Edit: He really did love playing in LA though so hopefully he's not playing "homesick". I'd hope he'd be more of a professional than that though.
