Sad to say... But Muller is useless... If folks hre are judging that Lacroix or Sly were super bad coaches, they should look at Muller too.

Was it just that Claude Julien liked Muller that he didn’t get canned or was it because he has for whatever reason a bit more of reputation then the others? I never understood what made Muller special. He was never Gerard Galant behind our bench and I never understood why some media and fans painted him that way.

Apparently the players love him like they loved Gallant though, he probably brings more EQ than IQ in his role. I dunno though, just guessing on the latter.

 

[The Great Weal]

Sometimes one-line teams do work...like with Colorado.

And what have they won in the playoffs with a one-line team?

 

[BLONG7]

How does Drouin not look in the mirror and say “I have the opportunity to be this generation’s French Canadian superstar”...and not embrace it? Such a heartless, gutless player. Why didn’t he get a bridge contract like every other young player?

He thinks he's already there............MB has already annointed him.

 

[domiwroze]

I never had the chance to see Shaw’s injury. Anyone has a link or video of what happened ?

Good to split up Domi and Drouin, but I pity the fool who gets stuck with him. And get Byron off the PP please, or better yet, off the team.

I want to keep Byron 5 vs 5 play. He is a fast player in transition. I wonder why they don't try Drouin on the left on PP, as he did last year late. Scored a few goals this way. The other teams might have figured it out, but it hasn't been done in a year! Instead of looking at plenty of guys who can't finish. 3 balanced lines but no finisher!

 

[Fixxer]

I’m sick of seeing Agostino, and Kulak and Chaput and Schlemko and Alzner....du bois mort!!!!

I say Agostino and Kulak should stay.
I liked when Kulak played with Weber. It seems as if he'd be the stay at home while Weber joined the attack. Kulak would join the rush at times.. but he knew his job was at defense and would get back immediately. Seems good positionally and with his stick. Ok, no offensive upside.
Agostino. This guy has talent. He just hasn't been able to translate it to the NHL. He hits. I'm not one of those, but I could understand wanting to trade Agostino while he has "any" value at all. Well, Bergevin knows what's up!

 

[Rapala]

Here we go

My thoughts exactly.
This gonna turn into the GDT?

 

[Rapala]

Like the new lines too.

Me too I hope he sticks with them long enough to make a difference.

Even kindling has it's uses!

6-3 habs

 

[Habs]

Byron is a legit top 9 do it all forward.

Right, and what is he doing then? 4 million to skate fast and not produce? At what point do you expect a little for your money?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Belial seems to think. that. Shaw. is. the. straw. that. stirs. the. drink.

the 4m 4th liner injured every 2 weeks

 

[David Suzuki]

Right, and what is he doing then? 4 million to skate fast and not produce? At what point do you expect a little for your money?

He's literally on pace for a career high in goals dude.

 

[OldCraig71]

Facebook him and say that.

Just curious here, do you have JD on Facebook?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

That new 1st pp unit is basically pass to Weber and let him shoot.
Agostino, Byron and Armia are there basically just to win puck battles and pass it back to Drouin

 

[Milhouse40]

Right, and what is he doing then? 4 million to skate fast and not produce? At what point do you expect a little for your money?

For an organization who's paying Alzner and Schlemko a total of 6,8M$ for riding and loading the bus......i think Byron is not problem #1 on their list.

 

[Habs Icing]

No recent news about Shaw's injury ? The guy is badly lacking . He was playing great with Drouin and Domi.

i think that sentence didn't end up meaning what you wanted it to mean..

 

[Rapala]

Belial seems to think. that. Shaw. is. the. straw. that. stirs. the. drink.

Wasn't the hottest stretch early on with Lehk? I know people were complaining he wasn't scoring but the line had great underlying numbers and Lehk was definitely getting his share of points.

 

[Habs Icing]

Bob Cole will still have them playing together, just you wait and see.

He'll also have them score the same goal while in the locker room during the 1st intermission. What he is doing calling the 1st intermission is anyone's guess. He may have been a legend in his time but the CBC is doing his legacy no favours by keeping him on. On the positive side when Cole is on the broadcast I get two games for the price of one. The game I can see with my eyes and the one Cole is calling.

You're a Freanch Canadians Superstars pretty easily in this town. Look at Deslauriers last year. Drouin is running in 3 commercials at the same time right now. Look at how everybody whine about the "poor poor poor Hudon" who's not playing.....but Peca who's outproducing Chaput, Hudon and Deslauriers....Who cares!?!

Don't have to work for it anymore, without a game played on this team, they were calling him the most exciting player since Guy Lafleur.

 

[Habs Icing]

Enough of Mete, get Juulsen up here. Bench the newest millionaire on Club CH Paul Byron, god he sucks. I can't take seeing Agostino and Chaput either, this team of waiver wire pickups has worn thin.

Bergevin you enormous Wanker, resign and take your pro scouting staff with you.

You either just came back from vacation in the UK or you've been watching solely English films the last couple of months.

 

[Habs]

He's literally on pace for a career high in goals dude.

So 18 goals is now his career high? News to me. Season't half over.

 

[Habs Icing]

I never had the chance to see Shaw’s injury. Anyone has a link or video of what happened ?

Shaw was tying his shoelace and Alzner was opening a pickle jar just about Shaw's head. I guess you can figure out what happened next.

I'm not sure how much Cap space we rode with last year but it should have been $6.8M more.
