Post-Game Talk: Slafstudsky and Slick Nick lead the way as Habs defeat the Ducks

[WeThreeKings]

Here's a question,is Gallagher leadership missed? I forgot all about him and they look better without him.

Gallagher's leadership is a myth.. I bet the guys tolerate him at most.

Loved everything about this but it was a bit annoying hearing Pierre and Marc whining about the fighting at the end. lol

I record the French and English broadcasts and they are all annoying. I would prefer they stick to calling the game and chip in occasionally with the stats and what not. But they have a tendency to have conversions with one another like no one else is around,stfu and do the pay by play.

What leadership? Do you mean when he's being a dirty little bitch in the corners, when he's whining to the refs, when he shoots in the goalie's crest from a stupid angle, or when he's going back to the bench while gliding, huffing and puffing?

Oh, you probably mean when he's distributing hits to the head for not f***ing reason, my bad.

Yeah, I'm sure they miss him

Yup, I loved Gallagher when he 1st got here and for a long time, but it's been 2 seasons now that I just can't wait for him to GTFO of here..

There were more than a few players I had as teammates that I couldn't stand and being in the loop of many former NHL players,that is rather common.

I've read here that he is worth every penny though.

He could have meant when he falls down 5 times per shift too

Regrettably, for this proud warrior, it’s a classic case of addition by subtraction.

It's very evident what adding Newhook and Gignac while removing Monahan and Gallagher does for our team speed.

Who sits when Gallagher comes back? My guess is Ylonen.

 

[FrankMTL]

It was fun to watch, the GDT was awesome as well, a great night all around.

Did you stay up past your bedtime?

Was Gallagher not one of the first one’s looking for an out around the time Hughes got hired? Lol he was forced to eat humble pie when he realized nobody would touch his contract with a 10 foot pole.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I don't think I've seen someone with this blend of size and skill before in my decades of following the team.

Although kovalev was really strong, and he doesn't get credit for it, but he was more like 6'2ish.

Latendresse had skill and size, but couldn't skate.

I don't think anyone saw what leclair was going to become in Philly. He had his moments in Montreal but at that point, he didn't look to have the same offensive package.

I'll also throw in zubrus. He had some pretty good skill and was a huge guy, but it never quite came together for him as far as being a top line threat.

Did you see Richer? Damn he was good. He could’ve been an all time great player but mental health got in the way. One of my favourite players ever.

Richer was awesome for sure.

Should’ve been an all time great. What a shot that guy had.

I was hoping Gallagher

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

hell no. team looks completely different when he's not in the lineup; let the kids lead.

i hope he never plays another game for us again

 

[Adriatic]

Such a nice feel-good game last night!! A lot of good elements to look forwards to with the team going forward. Slaf just keeps getting better and better. His craftiness and body positioning on the boards just keeps improving by the second. Starting to think his ceiling will be much higher than I initially expected.

He really had all the physical tools. Richer was the full package. Speed, skill, size, crazy shot, silky smooth hands...too bad he had some issues.

Poor guys play, has been a drag now for the past 3-4 seasons....

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Monahan was a great leader for this young developing team. But it was a luxury and fit that we couldn’t afford. Hughes’ ability in securing a further first round draft choice for Monahan was a masterful stroke of asset management.

Yes I remember him. Richer, Roy and Courtnall were my first memories of favourite players.

Your right, I missed including him. He was big , but I don't think he was in the 6'3 or larger range, was he?

He was strong nonetheless.

Big dude

 

[OldCraig71]

It should have been a 4 point night for Slaf but Caufield couldn't bury his chances. It was just the Ducks but those types of games are great for a player's confidence. I am looking forward to when he gets meaner on the ice.

 

[Kimota]

What did Guhle do to piss the Ducks off very weird reaction at the end of a blowout.

The dude didn't know what he was messing with! Ghule can go. That kid is grittier than we think. And if he working under other coaches, he would show it more often, I feel.
