I get it yeah. The win was important too. Insanely small sample size for Weal but whatever.Weal was 5 for 11 in his career before last night attempt.
Of the 377 players who have 10 or more shootout attempts in their career since 2005-06, he was tied for 31st in scoring %.

Not always. My grandpa would say Leafs and Wings. My dad would say Bruins Flyers and Nordiques. Id say Bruins and Sens now.Boston has always been Montreal's biggest rival.
My point of contention is not that Julien was right in choosing Weal, but you wee condescending toward him.I get it yeah. The win was important too. Insanely small sample size for Weal but whatever.
Glad he hit the post
It's quite apparent that you did not bother to check his stats in the shootout.He was 4th but kind of inexplicable considering who Julien put in as the third shooter (Weal)
Yeah it's fine. Weal is a good shootout player. Better than drouin and Tatar.My point of contention is not that Julien was right in choosing Weal, but you wee condescending toward him.

i felt like it was a bit disrespectful to not send Domi after the season he had + against the leafs... but thats me.Yeah it's fine. Weal is a good shootout player. Better than drouin and Tatar.
I still was expecting RP in the top 3. And my language didn't really match my emotions on it. I don't bash coaches or gms. Check my history.
I like when Coaches go by feelings in the shootout, going with people who looked confident in that particular game. Say what you want about the guy, but I thought Therrien was good at that most of the times. They won and it was awesome, but yeah I would’ve put Poehling in the first 3.... and probably Domi instead of Drouin but Claude was right on that one.Yeah it's fine. Weal is a good shootout player. Better than drouin and Tatar.

Except they really haven't been lolBoston has always been Montreal's biggest rival.

He’s not funny. He’s an ass for challenging a rookie first NHL goal in a meaningless game.
lol.. im sure Babcock thinks about the other team's players' feelings when he challenges goals.
I know that you are better than what I read.Yeah it's fine. Weal is a good shootout player. Better than drouin and Tatar.

You might want to have a second look at the 60s.Compelling argument, and also untrue.
Toronto was in a different conference and hasn't had nearly the same number of playoff matchups in modern hockey, nor have they had competitive teams to rival Montreal through the 60s-70s up to today. Why double down on a trivial point that is clearly wrong?

I know: I was there.
Yes?
The Canadiens biggest rival are the Boston Bruins and have been for fifty years.
The Maple Leafs and Canadiens have not played a game of consequence against each other since the late 1960's... are you new to hockey?
50 years? I'd say Nordiques were the biggest rival in the last 50 years. Good point about the "no game of consequence" tho
Anyone who is from the province of Quebec knows the biggest rivalry was Quebec vs Montreal, and it isn't even close. Outsiders trying to argue that is just hilariously embarassing.
