Thinking his brain cramp last night, will have Kulak back in the lineup tonight with Joe Dirt.
I'm still trying to understand why our genius management traded Mike Reilly to Ottawa for scraps? Does anyone here believe that any defenceman that they tried to replace him with, was better? These people are complete incompetents.

I guess we all just don't care about scoring on the PP then, huh?

It's obvious we need him to get the pp going. If he can't do it then we're pretty screwed because I don't know if Romanov is ready for that role and Petry and Weber are not pp QBs.

A top 5 controller disconnect moment last night. I've never seen a NHL defenseman miss a puck like that before. At least we got a highlight reel defenseman now :sarcasm:
I honestly never recall any hockey player at any level in my half century of watching hockey ever do such a combination of stupidity, carelessness and laziness on the same sequence....and that includes coaching a novice B team 20 years ago.
This guy should not be allowed to ever touch an nhl ice ever again.

Neither is Gustafsson; on his best day he's nothing more than a poor man's Petry and that's probably giving him waaay too much credit...he's not an NHL-calibre defenseman...

For the past 5-6 seasons, trying to figure out why MB does what MB does, has been quite possibly the most frustrating things a person could do....
Cracks me up, when he says, he will not make a trade for the sake of making a trade, yet he has made nonsensical trades over and over.....living by the mantra, rinse and repeat....
He is a guy who gives your four quarters for a loonie, and struts around like he is king.

But he can explain the indefensible to the hungry media in the appropriate language.

you guys are funny. He's played 4 games, has 2 pts and is even. Statistically, he's blowing Kulak and half the D out of the water, and that isn't a good thing

He moves the pick wayyy better than petry does, but I won't argue about his 5on5 play lol. It sketchy at best!

I doubt he wipes his *** as well as Petry does. Gustafsson is inferior to Petry in every way and is a scrub who will spend the rest of his career as a journeyman PP specialist.......not even sure that will be in the NHL.

Warned everyone; this kid just shouldn't be in the NHL...makes MAB look Norris level...when the puck isn't on his stick in the offensive zone, he's a complete liability on the ice and even when it is, he's just as likely to make a terrible play and cough it up as he is to do anything half-decent with it...should never see the ice in a Habs uniform again, Kulak and Ouellet are better options (as was Mete)...another Bargain Bin fail...surprise, surprise, surprise...:banghead:

No Gus, no gory.

Gus is as undesirable as a Laffs or Coiler fan — you know what needs to be done here ...
