Hopefully he can get 2-3 points tonight, that would put him back on the race for one of the best centers this season.
Domi still has his legs, but his offensive plays are no longer connecting as often as before. This was expected.
He picked up a point on the Weber goal, but he actually missed drouin completely on that pass.
Like most players, he's going to have his ebbs and flows throughout the season.
Even if he doesn't get 2 or 3 tonight, what's refreshing is he is noticeable every night and almost always for the positive. Nice to have another hard working guy like Byron, Shaw, and Gallagher.
I wouldn't expect him to be a top end center but like the guys you mentioned he seems to have a true work ethic that will give us great complimentary talent IF we ever assemble a contender.
I know Shaw is a little bit of an exception in the list mentioned but he's been better this season.
What!? The #1 line in COL isn't going to finish with three 100+ point guys, including 2 over 130 points?
Can't win with 'em either, apparently.Yeah, hard work is nice to see. Guys like Shaw, Gally, Domi, Byron, etc are so valuable. They might not be top end guys but you can't win without them.
huh, many teams did better than the Habs last season without Byron, Shaw or Gallagher in their lineup - pretty sure WSH won a cup without any of them actually.. and many teams have a better record without Byron, Gallagher, Shaw and Domi in their lineup...Yeah, hard work is nice to see.

I think all that bluster about hard working players is just that - bluster. Players work hard when morale is higher. Morale is higher when the team is winning or hopeful. The team wins games and runs on hope when they apply their talent. Top-end players are the fundamental important factor here, not glorified grinders. Gallagher is a fun player, he's not a game breaker or game maker.

PPG for 1/3 of the season, next stop 1/2 of the season.
I just went back to read some of the posts from the original Domi-Galchenyuk trade thread. Safe to say that times have changed haha.
Can't really fault us tbh. The guy did have 5 goals on a goalie last year. I will however admit that Galchenyuk really isn't that good of a player as I thought. We did ruin him though, and nobody will convince me otherwise. Great move by Bergevin.I just went back to read some of the posts from the original Domi-Galchenyuk trade thread.

Been reading Hf for like the last 18 years but this post made me join and wanna say “OH BOY HERE WE GO’He's the real deal. What a ****ing masterful trade by bergevin to get him .On top of getting drouin and Weber. Drafting Juulsen and Mete (in the 4th) .turning a 7 million dollar max Pacioretty in to Tatar Suzuki and a 2nd. Getting Jeff Petry for a 2nd, picking up Byron on waivers .Having the guts to draft kotkaniemi and then add ylonen and Brook to that...poehling he's a made a few boo boos but how could anyone hate having this guy as our GM
Even then it was a good move right from the getgo.Can't really fault us tbh. The guy did have 5 goals on a goalie last year. I will however admit that Galchenyuk really isn't that good of a player as I thought. We did ruin him though, and nobody will convince me otherwise. Great move by Bergevin.
