Only 3 more days of conspiracy. At this time on Friday we will either be happy or dissapointed and looking forward to the 4 2nd rounders.
I wrote this post last November :
"Well we agree that he has an injury. Just not the location. I don't doubt that he might have tweaked something lower body, but I feel the main problem is upper body, neck or residual concussion. These explain his slow reactions overall (physical and decisions), not visually tracking the puck well, apparently diminished peripheral vision, as well as his mobility."
With Carey, it’s mental. You can see it. No motivation. Led to technical problems. He has to trust his dman. There’s been to much of an overhaul.
I don't doubt that he had some motivational issues. The Clown lost Markov and Radulov through sheer idiocy.
I'm talking about him not being able to track pucks behind the net, had trouble picking up the puck from everywhere, slow to react. These are manifestations of an injury, not a poor attitude.
In my opinion, he was never on the same page as the defence all year. The puck handling, rebounds, and any sort of communication thrown out of the window right from the preseason. He’s not reactionary. He plays percentages and he’s been known as great leader in our room in the past. There was none of that last year. Niemi/Lindgren are more focused on stopping pucks where Price is always thinking one or two steps beyond that. He knows he can stop the puck or come out and play it, he’s telegraphing what will happen next. If Price can’t trust his defence to be competent, he’ll be useless for us.

There's no doubt about that. Compare last year's D corps to 2 years earlier. Night and Day. Jekyll and Hyde. Dunning and Kruger.
It is possible that he also had a concussion during that season.
That’s why I asked if you were joking.
Sarcasm and insanity is too fine a line to walk on this bored.
When was the last time the Habs drafted and developed one? Saku Koivu? Even then, he was more of a 2C. It's literally been decades.
People shouldn't worry if #3 will yield a franchise player or not. For example if Kot is only an average #1 in the end that's fine. The issue isn't so much that, the issue is and should always be if the habs have the balls to rebuild and get several top picks to build a new core.
70 pt C would give us something that our Cs have only accomplished 3 times in last 20 years, if he ends up there I'm estaticWell said, LL.
If Kotkaniemi ends up a 60-70pt Center, it’s mission accomplished. Even if Zadina is a slightly more productive winger, the Center Ice position is too valuable and has been neglected for too long in Montreal. Wingers are simply much easier to draft/sign/trade for.
Ken Dryden or Bernie Parent couldn't have saved us last year...Put Martin Brodeur in his prime behind that Habs dfense last year...
This makes no sense. Elaborate. That's a fantastic core, especially if you develop Galchenyuk properly. It's not the core that failed. It's the supporting cast and the GM.
You can also convert them to wingers.Yeah, I wouldn't even oppose drafting 5 centers this draft. Centers tend to have the longest NHL careers.
Put Martin Brodeur in his prime behind that Habs dfense last year...
Draft Kotkaniemi, and with the 4x 2nd rounders draft 2 more centers and 2 left defenders.
Watch them draft wingers and right defense, Bergie loves to stockpile wingers.
Be another Galchenyuk2.0 or Drouin. Going to be a mistake. Because they don't know how to develop centers and this regime is going no where soon. THey are here for the long term. All this hype and 6 years from now he will be traded away for a third line wingerHappy to hear that.
What are the winning lotto max numbers for Friday? PM me please.
Engels was on 590, said that spot is McCarron's??Bob's final rank has Tkachuk at 3 and Kotkaniemi at 5....
Berigie is gonna pick Tkachuk to center Domi...

I'm sorry but Engels is a dweeb. I take anything he says with a grain of salt. I will never forget his blog about Sekac.Engels was on 590, said that spot is McCarron's??
It was a joke...but probably end up cooming trueI'm sorry but Engels is a dweeb. I take anything he says with a grain of salt. I will never forget his blog about Sekac.
