GDT: Game 49 Habs visit the Flyers 7:00pm EST / 4:00 PST

[26Mats]

It's one of the stories of the season: we lose to a non-playoff team one day, only to crush a playoff team the next.

 

[sansabri]

I get what Kriss E is saying..

but this feels definitely more like "oh ****, this place was MADE for me" , Ovechkin TOLD him to go during christmas, and I cant ****ing thank him enough

I think you HAVE to re-sign him over trading him, you just have to

I mean, we can trade him and sign him in the off-season.

 

[Redux91]

I'd be more interested in moving him at the deadline.

Aaaaaand we'd be in an even worse spot without him on the team..

I hope youre not as disillusioned as others who think the habs will finish last for the next 2 years...because they wont.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Yeah hes a top 9 player, hes allowed to make great plays without being a first line center, just like Eller was.

Danault is 3 pts away from Eller's best season... 48 games in. Exact same thing really...

 

[Habs10Habs]

I'd be more interested in moving him at the deadline.

I honestly think that is/was the plan between Kovalchuk and Bergevin.

 

[Zorba]

Man...Marc Bergevin is smarter than the 29 other GMs who didn't have the b-lls to sign Kovalchuk....lol!!
Bien fait Marc!!

Good job Marc. Only 8 points out of the playoffs now. ..

 

[Whitesnake]

Perfect road game.

 

[Riddick412]

And L

I honestly have always had the feeling that Ovechkin will retire a Canadien, he’s another guy who was made to play in Montreal.

And Lafreniere?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Bien fait Marc!!

Desperation move

While playing a measly 5 minutes more

 

[sansabri]

boo no hat trick for kovy

 

[Doxinoctae]

Can someone call Drouin this team look like gold :

Tatar Danault Gallagher
Kovalchuk Domi Armia
Drouin Kotkaniemi Suzuki
Poehling Thompson Lehkonen

 

[Zorba]

Danault is 3 pts away from Eller's best season... 48 games in. Exact same thing really...

Ok. Even I admit Danault is a better player than Eller. Better 2 way man

 

[Hfbsux]

Just saw Hagg punch Lehkonen straight up in the face but you know that the refs wont call that

That's the only punch he landed tonight

 

[sampollock]

Good win, later all

 

[Redux91]

I mean, we can trade him and sign him in the off-season.

Kovy wont do a plekanec special, if you trade him you lose him

The key is to NOT let him hit the market.

 

[Cobra Commander]

I'd be more interested in moving him at the deadline.

Yes of course, we move him at the deadline for maximum value. But we should re-sign him for next season. I’m seeing 2-3 years at 5-6 million, what do you think?

Trade him and re-sign him later
