RDS: Gaston Therrien for the lols
- Thread starter Habsawce
- Start date
Except he's been good defensively all year and brings a lot more when he's not scoring. Plus, he's in a defensive role unlike 82% Desharnais.
60% for Eller is ridiculous. He's been invisible since Christmas until the last 2-3 games.
He was characterizing Desharnais yesterday saying " de la trempe et du talent de Desharnais" lol
You thought he was describing Patrick Kane lol. And he's always bringing up Bournival, the guy's not even part of the team. I've never heard him mention Thomas's name or Andrighetto but this is the same guy that was up in arms when we drafted Subban and Gallagher instead of guys de chez nous...irks me

Desharnais at 82 percent is strange not going to argue that, but i think its safe to say Eller has been a big disappointment after last year playoffs

If he's that good defensively, why is he a minus player on a team that's +28. Plekanec gets the toughest minutes and is a +6. Desharnais whom some whine about being poor defensively is a +19.

"Rien à lui reprocher". 
That's such an amazing statement that I can't even think of a proper english translation.

As a defensive centre playing lots on the PK and in defensive zone faceoffs, being invisible is a good thing. Being invisible while playing with Pacioretty, with offensive zone starts and a lot of PP time would be a bad thing...

I wouldn't give 82% to Desharnais this season. He had good moments but he's been very average. 60% is actually accurate for Eller... this board's little darling is playing great hockey right now but he was hot garbage the rest of the year.

Especially when the midget spends so much of his time with the best goal-producing forward on the team. Nah, all those extra "+" don't help the midget's +/-, not one bit. It's all his stellar D play.You're really going to use +/- to justify he's not "that good defensively"?

Pacioretty is +38 and has spent most of his 5 on 5 time with Desharnais. He's also played with Plekanec/Galchenyuk who are both + players.. Gallagher/Weise have very high plus/minus from spending a lot of time with Pacioretty.
Shocking how playing with our best scorer = being out for more goals for and having a higher plus/minus.

Both Eller and DD have been bad this year. I don't think he is off about Eller at 60 but DD should be right there with him.
The most ridiculous is MT at 90 though. Sure we can look at wins and say he's done well but he's been pretty bad with his decision making all year.
He led to Sekac getting traded. That is a huge fail to me.
He refuses to let Chucky play center. Huge fail
DD on the first every game. Huge fail
He just now starts to have confidence in Subban. Fail
Pretty much threw in the towel with Eller. Fail
There are more but these are the ones that come to mind right now.

Poked the bear!!!!!
I would bring Eller up to a 65% and Desharnais down to a 75% or something like that but it's not like their scores should be flipped or anything.
Not really sure what Prust or especially Parenteau have done to earn 72% and 70%. Prust I would bring down a bit and Parenteau should be down in the low 60's with Flynn and Mitchell.
I'd bring Tokarski down a bit too, even as just a back-up he hasn't really gotten the job done for most of the year. A 2 month winless streak playing against mostly non-playoff teams is not really a feather in his cap.
Therrien at 92% is the biggest joke, I think even his most ardent supporters would find that way too high. "Rien a lui reprocher"? I'm not as harsh on Therrien as some here but there's still plenty a lui reprocher if you look beyond the record.

Pacioretty didn't get to +38 by playing with somebody that's terrible defensively as some will say.
For a big chunk of games it was Weise-Desharnais-Pacioretty, it's also been Parenteau for awhile.
Eller usually plays with good defensive players, he should have a huge - number next to his name, not on a team that's +28.

Pretty ridiculous to give him a 70 grade with the team tied for 1st overall.
Problem on this board is Desharnais and Therrien can't get credit for anything. If they do something good posters have to give somebody else credit. They don't hesitate to crap on them when things go bad though...1 way street.
Last night Galchenyuk took the dumbest penality by a Hab this year, ran the Florida d-man in the post with 2:20 left and the Habs on the PP with the puck nowhere near either of them, killing a PP and giving Florida 2-3 scoring chances in the dying minutes. we barely hear a peep about it...if that was Desharnais, we'd have 3 threads about it in 12 hours and have a lynch mob waiting at the airport once the team arrived. Huge double standards...
