If the Habs fire Julien, then he can replace Hak and solve all our problems.
There isn't a single coach in the universe who could solve our problems.

Every coach does this shit. Stupid lineups, obsessions with bad players, and all the other things Hakstol does wrong.

That's the only reason I'm not on the Fire Hakstol train, I'm 100% convinced whoever they replace him with will be just as bad. I honestly don't think theres a single NHL fanbase that doesn't constantly bash their coach... and none of them are wrong about it either.

I know this won't be popular, but would love to get chucky for the 3rd line on the cheap

We just traded away Schenn who could have been in that spot. Both with 3 years on their deal. I think .hextall believes, and should, that Lindblom will be that guy in that spot before the end of the year.

We are going to settle for Vorobyev hopefully at #3 C.

Chucky has talent, but he is also very flawed as a hockey player in getting those points. I don't think Hextall would want him due to this. He loves his IQ players....the anti-Chucky.

But I do think whoever gets Chucky will get a point producer...but at a cost. Much like Eberle. Gets points, does nothing else, and hurts you elsewhere.

Can't argue with that. I just think they will sell him low, similar to E Kane. I just don't trust that MTL has put him in the best situation to succeed. Plus I trust that any Russian head case can be solved by playing with Provy lol

We're, what, ten games or so into the season and already had the privilege of witnessing 10-0 and 7-1 drubbings of the Penguins? I know they're still good and they started Niemi in those games and they're still winning the Cup in June but it's still just tear-provokingly beautiful.

I just woke up not too long ago, but when I saw the score of their game I squirted a rainbow out of my bottom. Though it could have been salmon.
