I think he's still just nervous. Probably couldn't still believe he's playing in the NHL (even if it's just preseason).
Galchenyuk wins it with a beauty in OT! 3-2

I want to see a game with Tinordi and Beaulieu playing, way easier to analyze who takes the spot that way.
Anybody noticed how Scherbak just makes himself soooooo ready for a pass? He just leans forward and stops playing

A lot can happen in this next season with London Knights, it looks like Domi & Horvat will be in the NHL. Marner may have McCarron as his RW and that could be really good icetime and experience for him, enough to warrant a good long look next training camp at the very least.
How much do you think he's going to improve this year? He had 34 points in the OHL in 2013-14, it's highly unlikely he'll be in the NHL in 2015-16 let alone on the first power play.

Galchenyuk's first step has improved so much, great to see. He looks a lot more confident and hungry out there. Last year he probably would have looked to chip the puck in or pass to the middle of the ice. Glad he's taking some more offensive chances.
Nothing chancy about that play it's called initiative.
AG broke the box single handedly.
Pacioretty - Desharnais - Bourque
Galchenyuk - Eller - Paranteau
Sekac - Plekanec - Gallagher
Whoever is on a line with Pacioretty - Desharnais will not be used much anyways so might as well have Bourque there as a warm body to fill the position. Whenever he feels like playing he might complement the tunnel vision duo.
Galchenyuk-Eller could perhaps take turns at C during the season helping Galchenyuk ease into the position. PAP would be much more useful here as his creativity might be better used as well as him being more likely to be passed the puck.
Sekac - Plekanec - Gallagher seems like a no brainer line to me. Should be really tough to play against for opposition top lines.

Chance =/= Risk
It's called context. He was given a chance to take the puck to the net, and took it. Last year he would have probably dished it to the corner or looked for the pass. Not sure why you're nit picking my comment considering it was a compliment and nothing negative about it.

Without deviation progress is not possible
The kid's had a growth spurt. His legs haven't caught up.
He needs another year of Junior and IMO, will make the team after a few months in the AHL. A similar route to Gallagher.
Not the worst idea ever. If Bourque can play like he did in the playoffs he's basically an Eric Cole type on that line. Loved Cole when he was here.

Some observations...
Beaulieu is significantly better than Tinordi and Pateryn. Love his play with the puck at both ends of the rink. Playing with poise and confidence, making the right decisions, creating chances... The 6th spot it his.
Patches looks like he found another gear this summer. It's almost too easy for him at times. Barely put any effort into his PP goal, but scored a beauty. Expecting another huge year from him...
Galchenyuk.... He's ready for his breakout year. He needs to play center where he can carry the puck. He was skating the puck through the NZ all game, something only Eller would do last year. Agreed with Andy that his skating, especially his first steps, has improved. He undressed one of the best skaters in the league on his goal.
PaP won't work with Patches-DD. I'd put him on the 3rd with Eller. Lars loves to carry the puck, and he'd be able to find PaP. Would give us some offense from the 3rd line.
Emelin looks like last year's emelin...not a good thing.
MacKinnon is already a dominant player. I can see him get 80-90 pts this year. The kid's incredible.

I'm thinking a lot of it has to do with playing center where you pick up a lot more speed because you have way more room to skate. That's pretty much what Seguin said when he was moved to center. The space down the middle gave him a lot more room to pick up speed. I've been arguing about this for a year now. Galy at center is just the logical thing to do. It is only going to help him. He needs to play there.

Its called sensitivity. Not sure why you would even care that i put icing on your cake.
The remark was made in good faith with no bad intent,

The Habs are breaking in the rookies this year, and that's going to make it tough to get into the playoffs, parity being so close between teams. They should try to give Galchenyuk as much center icetime as possible, all that can do is help the team's strength in the future. His goal certainly was a pretty one, seen Lafleur score a few like that one off the RW.

He only looks better b/c he is flashy, there is no doubt in his offensive ability there never was its all about how he will hold up in his own zone. Last night he played well in is own zone which makes me think its his spot to lose but id like to see more of the others before counting them out. Also Emelin looked more moblie then last year not sure what you saw but he was fine to me.
Emelin had a terrible game in his own end and was directly responsible for two goals.
Beaulieu on the other hand had a smooth game great passing and mobility.
He can get turned around on occasion but has the mobility to make up for gaffs.
All D make mistakes but the ones that end up in the back of your net kinda hurt more.
I am completely convinced that if we could play PK with Cube last year we can surely play Nate with him this year. Sit back and enjoy the show...

It's been my opinion since about June that Beaulieu should be playing LD with Subban. Beaulieu clearly outplayed Emelin last night and it makes a lot of sense to split Markov and Subban. Prediction's looking pretty good at this point.

We all know what is should happen; Galckenyuk plays center and Bergevin trades DD
We all also know what will happen; Galchenyuk stays on the wing and DD never leaves Pacioretty's hip.
The faster you accept it the less frustrated you will be when it happens.

He got played by MacKinnon twice. I wouldn't be so hard on him because of that in pre-season.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Well i disagree at least on the first goal.
He is counted on being and for now is our only physical LD.
He needs to be inside nate on that play and forcing him the other way using his strength.
