GDT: Kids playing tonight vs CHI (Oct 1) 8:30pm EST

[MXD]

You're darn right.

This board is becoming a real farce, an annoying place to talk "HOCKEY". Every single thread is turning into mud slaying/bashing of specific individuals. There is about a dozen of nasty posters- always the same - who had kidnapped this board and are working on their agendas to promote their favourites and mainly, trash some others + coaching staff. They don't ****ing care about the TEAM. Anyone can have a favourite player, but why trash another one ? They are all playing for the same TEAM, and they very possibly likes each other and are happy to play with each other.

I have a suggestion: real Montreal Canadiens fans - the TEAM - should not respond anymore to these morons when they are writing about DD, or Bouillon, or how Therrien must be an idiot... . They still don't understand that NO ONE loves these guys, - we can have some respect for what they have accomplished, and could repeat in the future - but at some point, they have to understand that we got the message, and it's time to turn the ****ing page and talk about the TEAM and its performances. ... But they keep going. They will keep playing in their own little sand box, make circles with their obsessions, keep trapped in their tunnel vision.

Where are the REAL Montreal Canadiens fans ?

All among us. It just appears that quite a few of them added the word "boy".

With all predictable consequences to follow.

The coaching staff have to play with the puzzle pieces (not all perfect) they have in their hands and make sure the team OVERALL is succesful. And that's the bottom line.

They got 100 points, went to Eastern Conference Finals. That's the bottom line. How they got there and with which combination they won is secondary. Every single NHL teams have "special" players who have serious shortcomings but can at least fit somewhere in the line up and be helpful and productive and good complement to some of their team mates. DD was not "given" a spot. he was "assigned" to a specific job.

As I wrote over and over, I'd rather have Getzlaf or Giroux as our first line center. It did not happen. So now, let's be patient, and a better centerman will emerge in a near future within the org, or will be acquired (but that's gonna cost a LOT.)

Quoted for truth and common sense.

Not a valid argument The coach is unfortunately one of them...

Haaaaa... The classical "coach doesnt see things like the great mind I am, so he inevitably sucks" argument.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

If people think the Canadiens could've done much better with Galchenyuk or Eller playing with Pacioretty, and had the potential to be much more than a 100 points team, it says a lot about their evaluation and knowledge of the league.

Hey it worked on NHL 14

How many other GMs would take DD over Galchenyuk on a one-year loan, with the proviso that they absolutely need to play either at Center? I suspect none.

This particular coach has sucked ever since he left the junior ranks.
If it was soley my great mind I would defer, but the Habs front office previously, the Pens front office recently (in the run up to the cup no less) I swear I don't make this stuff up.

Lots of morons as GMs in the NHL to have given a job to this guy, then


MT is as good or as bad as 90% of all NHL coaches with his strenghts and flaws. His win-lost record is what counts overall, like all the others.

It's impossible...

'cause DD stole my lunch money and I can't think straight with an empty belly, I got yelled at by MT so hard that I soiled my underwears and Bouillon cubes ain't good I'd rather have some pea soup.

 

[Brainiac]

Top 2 defenseman for Therrien

1.Bouillon
2.Markov

He's not that dumb, come on. He knows Boubou is getting up there in age. So for him, it's more like:

1.Markov
2.Bouillon

 

[Analyzer*]

I gotta go meet with a contractor and see if he'll work on the house, so I shouldn't miss any of the game!

 

[SOLR]

Pierre LeBrun is actually predicting a Montreal - Chicago Stanley Cup final.

For this to happen, Galchenyuk and Beaulieu need giant years.

 

[habitue*]

For this to happen, Galchenyuk and Beaulieu need giant years.

...Price, even more. right now, he,s the main reason why the Habs could reach the SC Finals. Lots of question marks elsewhere in the line up even with PK.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Line-up :

Bork – Eller – Sekac
DLR – Andrighetto – Thomas
Bournival – Prust – Weise
Bowman – Dowell – Dumont

Beaulieu – Gilbert
Tinordi – Pateryn
Drewiske – Dietz

Price
Tokarski


Oh and Lebrun is trolling he trashed Emelin and Gilbert and said our D is bad on TSN last friday.

Edit : Gotta love the angry fan boys

 

[Ezpz]

Maybe he thinks Bergevin won't sit on his hands all year if our D does indeed suck at Christmas.

 

[Bullsmith]

Line-up :

Bork – Eller – Sekac
DLR – Andrighetto – Thomas

Drewiske – Dietz

Price

The East was wide open going into the playoffs last year. He's gotta pick somebody. Doesn't mean he thinks the Habs don't have weaknesses. But lucky for us we don't have to get through Anaheim/LA/SJ/St.Louis/Chicago to get there. Still, I think it bodes well for the Habs to be one of the better teams even in a weak division. Add a true impact player, or develop one or two more....

It's kind of ironic how you criticize people who are whining the same way they criticize the same players over and over again. You go after them every chance you got just like some go after specifics players every opportunity they have. It's also funny that you're so condescending about the people's knowledge yet fail to see that the team had a lot of trouble last year and that things could have been better (I'm not saying we're a 120 pts team, but we could of had the same or slightly better results without relying so much on Price, like we did in 12-13). Evaluation is more than just looking at numbers, even pro-stats people know that.

Also, I'm not saying there isn't some unnecessary whining here. There is. I even agree with most of what Habout said. It's just that this post was kinda ironic

RDS says its emelin not gilbert along side beaulieu , gilbert not playing

 

[CupInSIX]

sign Bouillon or whatever just stop using Comic Sans :shakehad

 

[Analyzer*]

Bowman is given little to no chance to prove himself every game he's played.

 

[Koivu 11]

Bowman is given little to no chance to prove himself every game he's played.

yet hes been decent, he tries hard out there , forechecks, hits, shoots, goes to the net, could be a decent 13/14th forward, better than a Dumont (sorry haters) and even Bournival depending on the opponent (bruins/flyers). never hurts to have a 4th line pot a couple goals off rebounds from going to the net. He essentially replaces Moen.

 

[Constable]

Against:
Sharp-Toews-Smith, Saad-Richards-Kane, Bickell-Shaw-Versteeg, Morin-Kruger-Mashinter
So the full line-up except Hossa.

Hossa to be traded?

Hossa to MTL confirmed!

Blunden pt 2: son of Blunden.

I just don't see it. I don't get replacing Moen with him, nor do I get taking Bournival out of the lineup if he makes the club.

 

[Tyson]

Pateryn came to camp believing he is an NHL DMan. Chances are he gets cut or traded. Dietz is about to pass him on the depth chart. That Western hockey lad has solid upside, Pateryn has shown me squat beyond AHL Abilities.
Habs should keep Beaulieu and Tinordi, alternating them. Both would develop at NHL Paces.
