This is a bad time for Habs. There are a lot of questions about this team now and going forward. Habs are being humiliated at the moment.
Your constant defense of one player, versus looking at the bigger picture, is pedantic, and an irritant to long time fans here. I would suggest you tone it down right now.
So the block me. I'm a long time poster here. Couldn't really care less if you like what I post or not. If you've talked to me lately, you'd know I think Desharnais is as awful as the rest of the team. Fact remains... we can't produce and his awful playoff ppg is still better than DLR.
I would suggest you stop telling me how to think.
That's it! You've solved it! Genius you are!
No... no I haven't.
The team sucks. Plekanec with Pacioretty at 5 on 5 is non-productive. DD and Patch aren't in the Playoffs either.. but at least they have a track record.. even if that's mostly Patches.
DD is scoring 0.03 goals per game in playoffs, I wouldn't argue about ppg hehehe
Bringing up goals for Desharnais is ridiculous. He's not here to score. Yeah, he should have more goals. Yeah, he should be more productive... but what else do we have? We sure looked great without him.
Not saying he's a key to our team either.. but you don't put in more DLR's when you can't produce offense.
Deshar - I'm only playing because I'm French - has TWO ****ing assists in 7 games, despite being played with the top offensive players and constantly on the powerplay.
Defend this please. Someone. Somehow.
Wouldn't really call Galchenyuk and Weise "top offensive players." Even when he was with Pacioretty, it was with DSP.
However, you can't defend it. It's simply not good enough.
Then again, no one on our team is. Our team is in the second round lead by Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn. Gross.
Pacioretty and Plekanec have just 3 points despite more ice-time and better linemates. Gallagher and Galchenyuk both have just two points as well despite more ice-time. People said if DD got less ice-time... we'd be better. He's 5th right now, I believe... and we're just as bad if not wore at producing offense.
Our only good Top-6 forward is Eller. And even he's not producing. He's not getting favorable time, but he didn't last year either.
