If this is how he played in training camp, no excuse that he shouldn't have been in the line up game #1.

Could be a good one when Jimmy gets back.

Can't take him out of the lineup now and it's not because he scored.
Hes been our best forward tonight. Skating, battling and making plays.

Ottawa’s had a few good lucks with 3rd overall picks, and a bunch of bad ones.
Good ones: Turris, Bonk
Bad ones: Duchene, Gaborik
TBD: Gudbranson, Galchenyuk, Stützle?
PLD ?

How many guys do we have with the shot to score like he did tonight? Play him again Thursday.

He looked really engaged and I can't see how you take him out of the lineup after tonight.

I always liked Galchenyuk when he was in Montreal. He was a guaranteed 50 point player and a play driver.
Not sure what happened in Pit and ARI. I hope he makes our management regret not bringing him back.

Could be a force on that top PP for us. Or on the 2nd PP with Stutz on the other side.
Definitely keep him.
Stutz-Gally-Dadonov could be an exciting line. Will have some downfall but definitely exciting.

He had stutzle on the bench too in the first game defending the lead. (Albeit massive experience difference). But I hope DJ can at least recognize a threat when he sees one. I don’t think he gets scratched

Gaborik had an awesome NHL career. For the Sens, he was just a convenient LTIR contract to reach the cap floor. He wasn't brought to light it up.
Duchene has been very good statistically in Ottawa : 0.91 PPG, which is 75 pts per 82 games. Hard to ask for more. The bad taste is because he came at the exact same time the team fell apart, like if a curse was following him or something.
For Gudbranson, it doesn't matter anymore where he was drafted because he never lived up to it.
Galchenyuk seems motivated, will never be a perfect player but if he's comitted, he can still be a good NHL player
Jimmy will be great
Problem is no center on that line. The debate for Galchenyuk at C in Montreal lasted like 5 years IIRC (or that's what it felt like, it was painful). Pretty much everytime you put Habs talk on TV or radio, it was always one of the main subjects. Keep AG27 on the wing, allows him to have a simple game, that's how he could be a positive. Too many responsibilities as a center. He's never been good defensively or on face-offs.

Didnt watch the entire game, but excited by what I saw from Galchenyuk.
We'll see how DJ handles him going forward!
Not optimistic...
