DD scoring for the OT Lou4Gehrig! 2-1 vs Flyers

[PuckSeparator]

Hot damn I would rather we lose than Desharnain score that OT. What a a nightmare...

 

[Nynja*]

So going forward to edmonton
Hall is injured

Guaranteed loss now!

 

[sheed36]

I just checked out the NHL leader board and a couple of Habs are on there. Price now leads the NHL with a 2.00 GAA and save % of .933 and Pacioretty is an NHL leading +29 on the season.

 

[Nicko999]

How about that pass from the finished General.

 

[No More Subban]

I am still hoping DD is traded at the deadline.

Galchenyuk is moved to first line center

Need a second line LW too... Jagr

We trade for a 3rd line LW... like Higgins

We need a number 1 RW and a 3rd pairing dman


Patches ---Galchenyuk------ 1st line RW
Jagr ------Pleky_____Sekac (Kladno Line)
Higgins____ Eller_____ Gallagher
Prust_____ DLR______Weise
Malhotra, Bournival

I feel like we agree on pretty much everything..

This is what I would do too. I'd take Higgins back in a heartbeat.

Been wanting to have that Czech line also. Or just to see Jagr in a Habs jersey. I think he would really love it here, the fans, and especially the playoff atmosphere.

Exactly, all of this. Imagine a third line of Sekac, Eller, and Jagr? If they were to ever get it down low on the cycle, would the other team ever get the puck back?

Go get him Bergy.

That would be hilariously awesome. 1-0 lead going into the 3rd? Put that line on the ice, watch them have a 20 minute shift cycling it on the boards.

Jagr would never come here to be on 3rd line. The guy will only come if he plays with Pacioretty.

 

[Natey]

So happy.

 

[Redux91]

thats it, i have to complain!

i CANT believe that moron ref didnt raise his arm in the air for the guy hooking max on desharnais's goal..

watch it carefully, max practicaly celebrates the goal with the stick still lodged in his arm pit!

refs

Time to unload eller and a prospect for a scoring winger.

 

[ECWHSWI]

Time to unload eller and a prospect for a scoring winger.

and have Malhotra back on 4th line C and huh... 19 yo rookie DLR as 3rd line C shutting down the Malkin, Stamkos and co ?

Hey Rejean Houle, calme toé

 

[HabsDood]

lol.. Réjean Houle

 

[phoque taupe]

nice game ...

 

[nyhabsfan]

PAP instead of Higgins, no need to give up assets for Higgns please

Higgins is a perfect 3rd line winger, hard on the puck and good in all 3 zones and PK
PAP way too soft on the puck and coverage
If he doesnt score or add to the offensive side to the the team, he's usless.

 

[cajmonkey]

Get rid of our best playoff forward, right before the playoffs? Great idea.

Guess DLR will have to wear opponents down and score goals while our soft lines are neutralized again.

 

[Strat]

I've never heard Marc Denis so be so giddy in my life after that DD goal. Pierre Houde asked him if he was alright.

That's because Marc's headset/mic fell. You could clearly hear it.

 

[dmanfish90]

I dont buy into the DLR rumors MB must love him to death

Or maybe DLR stole Larry's gig and Eller is out?

So he'll end up being Eller version 2.0 that so many people here already complain about is what you're saying?

I think we're jumping ahead of ourselves here. How many games has DLR played this season? He's how old?

I think it's probably safe to say that DLR isn't going anywhere but I don't think we can say that DLR is pushing Eller out the door...yet. Maybe in a year or two.

lol its weird but i think we know EXACTLY what we have in DLR

and i swear to god if they trade eller over you know who i dont know what ill do

i guess it depends on the return but come ON

id rather have Galchenyuk, Eller, De La Rose as the 1 2 3 centers of the future instead of... well ill just get flamed for saying it so who cares, DD lovers can have their night tonight.

I'm sorry, but the reason why they would trade Eller over "you know who" is because of trade value.

Let's see: 5'7" midget playmaker who scores at a 40-55ish point pace or a 6'2" defensive specialist who scores at a 30-40 point pace.

It's unfortunate but given the fact that DD is making 3.5 million a year, 40-55ish points is actually a steal of a deal people, even if YOU think he's taking up someone's spot on the C depth chart (which he isn't right now).

It sure seems like it takes a lucky bounce or a screened tip to beat him this year. It's been a long time since I've seen a goalie this locked in. Rinne is having a hell of a year, but he's so scrambly and it always feels like he's making saves by the skin of his teeth while Price is just so ho hum.

For that reason, I think he deserves the Vezina but goalies who make saves look hard and have to be acrobatic tend to get more hype.

I would think the GMs (who scout games and know a lot of hockey themselves) might be able to differentiate. But i think you're right about the "acrobatic hype".

There were at least three two on ones in the first half of that game. He made several key stops.

He looked like he was moving a little gingerly on that leg, I thought he might be hurt.

DD did nothing all game and fell a lot. But he scored the goal so who cares really?

Did anyone not see the first goal?

He got beat clean on a half-screened wrister that was perfectly placed.

I'm sorry but Matt Read made a really great scoring play.

Typical Habs post game thread :

-Intense discussion on the future of David Desharnais.
-Trade proposals involving 2nd round picks and a prospect
-Debate on the identity of said prospect & trade target
-Out of town talk

Post of the past half year.

I just checked out the NHL leader board and a couple of Habs are on there. Price now leads the NHL with a 2.00 GAA and save % of .933 and Pacioretty is an NHL leading +29 on the season.

Remember a couple months ago when Damien Cox tweeted the Leafs were only 3 points behind Montreal in the standings?

Yah....

Where Phil Kessel at?

I remember last year and the lockout year, all my Maple Leaf friends on facebook were telling me how great Kessel is and Pacioretty sucks or something.

LOL.

and have Malhotra back on 4th line C and huh... 19 yo rookie DLR as 3rd line C shutting down the Malkin, Stamkos and co ?

You're telling me that Eller shut down Stamkos and Krejci last year? You sure it wasn't Pleks?

PROVE IT.

Naw, he's just not a very good hockey player who most often holds us back, but on occasion does stuff like this.

How does he hold us back? Man for a guy his size and salary, he actually overperforms.

At this point in time, he isn't taking up anyone's spot on the depth chart. Chucky and MT say Chucky isn't ready for #1C, so how is he holding us back?

Can we at least say rational and realistic things on here?

Oh wait...this is HF

 

[Dannyhab]

I was really worried about the game last night. I thought we might actually get shut out. Fortunately the Habs pulled it off and I'm very happy with the result.
I absolutely love DD trolling us.
JDLR was also great. I think it's clear what our most urgent need is at the trade deadline and that's depth in our top six.

 

[rumple03]

I don't post often, lot's of folks here who spend way too much time micro-analysing every shift and every play, specifically DD. I don't get the hate this guy gets on HF. The guy puts up points, and for his size and stature, to do as well as he does should be applauded. He does his job as a playmaker and must be doing something right, he is part of the reason why MaxPac has been close to 40G scorer the past few years. I see the argument "yeah but think of how much better MaxPac would be with a real 1C?". Maybe this is true or maybe it isn't.

Too many of you seem to wanna rush Chucky into a 1C or 2C role, he's 20 yrs old and this Team is bringing him along nicely. Yeah it's nice to wish for bigger and better players than what you have, its normal, but let the guy develop, there is no need to rush him.

 

[Analyzer*]

Since we missed those great defensive plays, looks like we'll never see them.

Where's Fel96 when you need him ?

 

[G0bias]

Either they're showcasing DLR or Therrien really likes him.
We was awesome in ot.

 

[bigtimehockeyfan999*]

I ****ing hate buffalo if they get kane im gonna be so ****ing pissed.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

How does he hold us back?

I'll just wait to see if we enter the playoffs under "status quo", and let the answers reveal themselves. I can talk about it all you want, but it'll be easier when you see for yourself (again). At least Pricer seems ready this year to make up for the mistake of leaning on Desharnais to lead the offensive charge.
