How about we get Patches an actual top-6 C to play with? What a concept

More likely we get some guy who has 8 goals in his career but will sign for sfa.

Ott was on a 1-year deal for $800,000 this season. 

 

The 2.6 was the year before in St. Louis. 

I like him for that money.

For less than a million I would bring him back.

[Habber]

We are in deep trouble! Interesting to see what the lines will be. I say 4-1 Rangers. Embarassing that Emelin out scores Chucky and Pacs and Danault  in only 2 games no less.

I wonder if Nashville would trade Subban for 47 and 67. I doubt it.

That's definitely part of the story. Danault is no puck distributor and Radulov can only do so much. 

[Chris]

The team will change under CJ, he knows this is a soft untalented bunch. a little old and slow in some positions as well

The GM misidentified the primary problem. It was not character, it was not leadership. It wasn't even team toughness. It was talent at FW. And he has done dick all to fix that in 5 years.

I am losing patience, time for a lynching.

I like Ott to. But not for that much money

maybe he should be moved up from 4th line...man what a mess.  im looking at my bottle of Grant's sadly

[Chris]

Danault on a good team is a solid 3rd line center, Only in Montreal is he a top C

[Habber]

Just not built for success in the playoffs. Worse part is there's no help on the horizon.

[l<OV4L3V]

maybe dumpster diver can wheel maxi pad for Tavares or Stamkos. would probably have to send way more in return unfortunately.  

[habs rule]

GO FORKING HABS GO!  AND I DO MEAN FORKING NOW.

Love the guy, but you are dead right. It's pathetic watching him trying to be Kirk Muller.

[sbhatt]

The Tampa Bay series in 2015 was a great comparison...exactly how this feels.

MB...if they go out this game, he should be fired tomorrow.

I've been saying it for a while and I don't care if the -1's rain in. Beregvin will be canned in the near future. It won't be this summer, but his time is coming. 

[Habber]

Last period coming up. Was this season that much better than last? The door is shut after tonite. Watch out for the Leafs, sabres, Sens, Panthers and Lightning next season.

[habs rule]

We are the best 3rd period team in the NHL, let's get 2 this period, 3? even better.

This series looks almost EXACTLY like the 2015 series against TB. Close, hard fought, but the Habs just can't get enough offence. And - hate to say this -Price is outgoaltended by his opposite number. He's played well enough that you can't blame him exactly, but the fact is Lundqvist has eaten him for dinner.

 

MB chalked up 2015 to 'leadership.' He is full of shit. The primary issue is that the Habs just, just like 2015, don't have enough weapons up front. STILL. 

Amen

[Habsfan1989]

Like I said before, this organization has not address team needs because of regular season success.. But come playoff time our team weakness always come unmasked.

This team is a prototypical 'playoff built' team. Lots of gritty plumbers and big strong Leaders and Character Players. Like the plodder he turned out to be, MB lacked the vision to fix the REAL problems with the 2015 group. All the Otts on earth will not score goals. Weber's Leadership did not upgrade on Subban. Just a bunch of lateral moves and tweaking, meanwhile Mike Keane is our #1 C.

[THE Bobby Orr]

the refs have eliminated Gally...they are allowing him to get cross-checked every shift..its facking blatant

Too much Molson?

[Chris]

I don't disagree about talent is the primary problem, 

 

But they literally have know one who steps up in the playoffs. That is charecter and leadership

He brought in Radulov, but it's definitely been rough as a Habs fan wondering when they'd be an offensively-minded team again, and it's an identity that Bergevin has failed to find.
