Yes, it is true they will have 1 more year of experience next year, but a potentially smaller problem is still a problem. It is unarguable at this point that picking up Anderson was a brilliant move. However, the Habs could really use a C with more experience. i.e. Domi. In hindsight it seems like they probably should have given up other players or picks to get Anderson.

And I wouldn't want to play him ahead of any of our other three centres at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had kept Domi he should be 2nd C, or even 1st, because he's got more experience out of those 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domi ? ? ? ... he had an exceptional first season, regressed to his norm last season and is below his norm this season ... and no way Julien or DD play him ahead of Danault, KK or Suzuki ... so that is one expensive 4C ... plus, CBJ were looking for a centre and I don't think Poehling would have gotten he deal done 6 minutes ago, tomh009 said: I don't think he would have been happy playing 4C for the Habs.

He has had one season of real success at centre, and has yet to repeat it ... centre may not even be his position ... no way (IMO) he is a 2C let alone a 1C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be some out-of-Buffalo improvement from Stall, but at this point in his career, he is going to decline further and not get significantly better.

We havent matched up well with the flames all year. Still this win and one more next week probably kills them off. Weve got a similar record but weve played much better against the leafs than the flames. Their d just seems to neutralize our attack by keeping it from the middle of the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called the Secretary General of the UN “Goofy Anan.” Then there was the “for me, pepper, I put it on my plate” remark about the RCMP pepper-spraying demonstrators; he also told the House that pepper spray “is better than a baseball bat.” For all of that, he was a highly comptent and capable PM, unlike the succession of buffoons and duds that have succeeded him.

I'm not sure they'd throw him in without a practice though in which case Wednesday would be his likely debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
