Don't they already have the McDavid problem? LolHe’s from BC. Vancouver sounds good to me. He can be Seattle’s problem.
So what if they do? That’s not my problem.Don't they already have the McDavid problem? Lol
Valid point. Just pointing it out.So what if they do? That’s not my problem.
There is less than 5 generational players all time.I tend to agree with you about Bedard going to Montreal. Obviously part of the reason is that I don't want that team to have nice things, but on a bigger level I want to see Bedard be successful. I haven't been this excited about a prospect entering the NHL since Crosby. I love watching elite players, no matter what team they play for. I want Bedard to go to a team where he can flourish and become the generational player I feel he has every chance of becoming.
I came up with my first 5 and then realized I had left Ovi out so I'd say there's a few more than 5 but that's for a different thread.There is less than 5 generational players all time.
I have a feeling he's gifted to the Blackhawks but the Coyotes makes sense because Bettman is desperate to make the Yotes a thing. New arena and elite talent is all he can hope forIf the NHL had any brains they would drop Bedard right in Arizona. Montreal, Chicago etc fans are showing up no matter what happens with the team. If that kid ends up in Montreal the fix was in.
It was his first career suspension so it makes sense and it didn't result in an injury.Got off light.
Entertainment value if they draft him and he refuses to report as Lindros did with Quebec Nordiques. That said, I would not want them to get the trade haul that Quebec/Colorado did, since Lindros basically helped build the foundation of the Avs Cup winning team: Eric Lindros trade shook foundations of NHLI wouldn’t worry about that.
They (the Canadiens and the Montreal media) will find a way to ruin his career and make his life miserable. They’ll botch the rebuild and Bedard will take less money to get the hell out of there and go somewhere else.
I think Montreal isn’t a place most players want to play for numerous reasons, anyway. I can’t speak for anyone, but unless I had no choice, Montreal is probably the last place I’d want to play if I were a player. I’m not just saying that because I’m a Bruins fan or because of any supposed language issues. I’d play in Quebec City (if they had a team) in a heartbeat.
We have no idea how good Bedard will be when he gets to the NHL. But don’t panic if he ends up in Montreal. They’ll ruin it somehow.
Finish hits, agitate, make plays. Simple. Very good 4th liner is rather generous. Make an appearance in a Bruins-Habs game would be ideal. Largely underwhelming and average so far... no chance he plays over Frederic/Foligno at this point. Hathaway has much to prove.
Orlov was of course the main return in the trade... but Hathaway needs to be more impactful. Closer to Nosek (replaceable) than even Foligno in terms of impact.
The reason is/was ineptitude and bias.In these highlights (thanks as always @Fenway) on the Bertuzzi goal, you can clearly see the puck in the net before the high stick to the mouth. you can also clearly see the ref check Bertuzzi for blood, and then signal "2" to him, and then as he skates away, signals "2" to the Habs bench. And yet there was no penalty on the play. Still confused by that one. As were Jack and Brick.
pleasantly surprised
Lol man his whole face is stitched up. U should see the cut on his chin it’s pretty nasty lol. I can’t say with a straight face he probably barely got cut. There a whole video of him crying about it and his whole chin is destroyed lol.Probably barely broke the skin but he played it up by running down the tunnel. At first he looked shocked, but then he thought about it and played it up. There was a small cut but no missing teeth but the NHL still had to spend. As you said, I'm also pleasantly surprised that it's only a one-game suspension.
Still, I want Bruins to punish along the boards and in front of our goalie. Putting the team a man down is dumb. Any moron can use a stick and injure another player even if he is a puke.
Foligno will start, when he can. He won't come out unless he is really badFoligno, against huge odds turned back time once this year. After this injury, it will take an almost Herculean effort for him to dislodge anyone from the line up if Hall is back in. I can't see him doing it again given the injury he suffered.
Who is that? I want to say Cashman, but don't think so.So, we're cool with posting the freeway finger now? The last time I posted this it got deleted.......still not sure why. I mean, who 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 want to let the good people of Poutineville know their team is the most bestest team ever.

Yup fill all 5000 seats.If the NHL had any brains they would drop Bedard right in Arizona. Montreal, Chicago etc fans are showing up no matter what happens with the team. If that kid ends up in Montreal the fix was in.
Orr, Gretzky, lemeuix, McDavid. Anyone else?There is less than 5 generational players all time.
Howe. . .Orr, Gretzky, lemeuix, McDavid. Anyone else?
Foligno will start, when he can. He won't come out unless he is really bad
You forgot the main guy……..Orr, Gretzky, lemeuix, McDavid. Anyone else?
Yup. That word gets used up by people today. I don’t see generational except for McD. We have great players, but that’s what they are, great not GEN.Howe!
I tend to agree, but I would add some places in that area for players who changed, mould, impacted the game in some aspect. IMO I might add some other guys. Brodeur in net with puck handling, Gainey, for which the Selke trophy was named, Boston 37 at the dot for which rules where changed etc... But from your POV I do beleive we currently have one generational player and that os 97!Yup. That word gets used up by people today. I don’t see generational except for McD. We have great players, but that’s what they are, great not GEN.
