GDT: STARS @ MTL | He was really Patioready | Mar. 13, 2018 7:30pm ET, TSN2 RDS 690AM 98.5FM

I hate MB has much has the next guy but Radulov decided not to sign here will never know when he received the offer, he is not going to come out and say I took MB offer a shop it around... regardless when the offer came he had both offer on the table at same time at some point. If Dallas was able to seduce him over the weekend after playing a year in MTL doesn’t that prove that Radulov wanted to sign in Dallas vs. MTL (i don’t blame him I would have pick Dallas my self) I don’t want to excuse MB but Radulov didn’t sign somewhere he didn’t want to go

Well when you have a GM that has admitted saying they took offers off the table and that signing him was obviously not a priority. That tells the story of a GM that failed to keep him here. We have more than enough historical data to give Radulov the benefit of the doubt vs Bergevin's history of horrible "negotiations". Do you think anyone else would have offered Alzner 5 years at nearly 5M? Anyone else going to give Shaw 6 years? How about paying Drouin like a 1st liner for 6 years before he plays a shift in Montreal? Hemsky + Alzner vs Radulov is what we are talking about here...

Destroy the +/- of Klingberg to let Subban have a chance to win his 2nd Norris Trophy.

Seth Jones looked like this year's Norris winner last night. woof was he good at both ends. Game totally changed when he went down.

I love popcorn, but god damn it gets stuck in my teeth every time.

Chew some gum.

 

[Habsawce]

Shaw is a tough kid, but you can't play through head injuries. It never ends well. It's not like a bone bruise, or an acl injury.

 

[donghabs98]

I've maintained from the first season he was here, that Shaw is not suited for the style of game he plays. He's an featherweight in a game of heavy hitters. Several concussions later, he won't adapt his playing style to an obvious reality -- maybe this is the only way he knows how to play and if that's the case, you don't give out a long-term deal to a player who is a danger to himself and will be spending more and more time rehabbing.

Somewhere, Shaw's future health might be compromised. Several concussions now since last year. What's the count, 4 with tonight's hit which is was a helmet to helmet shot?

Which again begs the question why give him a 5 year deal? A 3 year deal is the max a player like him should get. It is unfortunate but at this rate the sliver lining might be that Shaw will get the Lupul treatment to get his cap hit off the books.

Seguin is of french descent, long long descendant of La Sagouine.

Not making this up.

 

[habsfan909]

we cannot play Niemi any more... he is a tank nightmare.

 

[CauZuki]

In slow motion on the replay it actually looked they went head to head. Shaw closed his eyes to brace for the hit and missed timed it. They went head to head. Shaw was out on contact. ouch.

It looks that way but knowing their height differences that's not really possible. Looked like shoulder to head and then hit back of the head agaisnt the boards. The latter which most likely caused the most damage(imo).

 

[Et le But]

Players like Shaw have a short shelf life for a reason. I don't question the man's heart, but he's getting himself ground up.

 

[jaffy27]

We might be into different things

What the f*** is going on here lol

 

[Bloumeister]

His head ran into Pateryn's shoulder and then he fell head first agaisnt the board.

He looked knocked out the second he ran into Pateryn, though. The guy's a mountain

Shawful bit more than he could chew. Again.

 

[WeThreeKings]

This win will cost the Habs 2-3 spots in the lottery.

 

[Runner77]

Brutal head to head impact by Shaw -- he brought this upon himself.

 

[jaffy27]

I'm not laughing. I'M ****ing pissed off about a trade that teams wouldn't have made because it was already well known that he was damaged goods....and now we add concussions on top of everything else. It's sad for Shaw. It's ****ing sad for this organziation too. Nothing is funny here.

Wasn’t directed at you at all

 

[Hannibal]

Good bye top 5 picks.

f***ing useless win. Wére gonna pass detroit

 

[Kimota]

we cannot play Niemi any more... he is a tank nightmare.

At least the Sens are about to win. Giving a wooping to Tampa, no less.

 

[Runner77]

Here's an alternate angle. You can clearly see Shaw initiating contact.

 

[Habs100]

It looks that way but knowing their height differences that's not really possible.

I'd have to see the replay again though but Pateryn was skating with the puck so maybe he was bent forward. I'm pretty sure I saw that on the replay.

It was nasty. Poor Shaw looked out on his skates. That's why he had that secondary hit to his head on the boards. It's concerning.

Thats why under sized players dont make good bottom six forwards

 

[sampollock]

Shaw needs to look at his future

 

[Redux91]

Man, I love Scherbak.

Made that powerforward move, but with the skill of a russian , he could score 25 this kid, a 25-40er perhaps in the future, god willing

 

[Whitesnake]

Wasn’t directed at you at all

I know. But just wanted to state how there was nothing funny in any direction for anybody.

 

[sampollock]

MB will be done another fowrard, if Shaw retires

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Why? We was playing a pretty good game.

Yeah, but he made a bad play, he lost the and they almost scored on us.
