Player Discussion Max Pacioretty discussion part VII: Maximus Decimus Tradius Valus

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Pretty selfish that the hab players wouldn't even want to be a spotlight hog like subban. I mean at least one of them should have been selfish like him and tried to get noticed . Its so pointless arguing with some on this board. Logic on here sometimes sounds like no one has even heard of occums razor.

pet peeve, sorry

It's Occam's razor

Auto correct hates me and half the time I'm not even sure what I typed until I hit post..sounded good in my head though.

But I didn't say that. Was just replying to your post about the Habs said it, hence it's true. I commented on the news I had seen, which is the french version. If I would have seen both, I would have said it. The first time I saw the Ron Francis tweet is you showing it to me.

To be fair the Francis post was 4 posts later in this thread...

It wasn’t exactly hidden.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I'll gladly admit I'm far from a marketing/PR expert but...

Just promote the event on the team's website, and somewhere in there say the team will be there to support the team's captain charity event like every year.
There's nothing cryptic about encouraging your captain's philanthropic endeavors.

Their response today was appropriate, but they can be more proactive than that.

It all depends. Did they promote it last year or before that?

I don’t think so, why now?

I’m all for hand promoting charities though so not hating.

lol at anyone that’s surprised by that teeet being BS. I called this. Typical French media BS riling **** up. This is why I want the Nordiques back.

Sure, get a team even further away from English-speaking folks.. that should cut the French media BS

I didn't say it was hidden. I said that I didn't see it.

What are the chances Patch gets re-signed? I know there is a lot of talk about moving him and the rumor of the Habs telling him he won't be re signed but something tells me there is still a small chance we extend him. Especially if we are not able to get a good return.

Would 6 years at $8M be fair? Just curious about what Patch wants if he was to return to Montreal next year.

Quebec's radio is probably worse than Montreal's (not talking about music). Then you have Videotron who will own TVA-Sports, Journal de Montréal/Québec and the Nords. Talk about fun times and **** stories

10%...

Pure guess

pretty sure Mariolemieux66 would put it at 7.8 max

The chances tend towards zero.

I’m sure I read somewhere that an ex Hab has said they were told not to go to Subban’s charity evens (Dale Weise?). Also if Pacioretty hated Subban that much why would he invite him to his wedding?

Pacioretty didn't actually hate Subban. It's something that the media invented. They always invent these dramas.

If anything Therrien is the one who screwed with the dynamics of the lockeroom. What happens when a group is run by a bully?

Therrien is indeed not a sharp tactician. And he over-relied on Desharnais while giving Galchenyuk and often Eller a hard time.

But the team worked harder under Therrien, 95% of the time, than it does under Julien. And as much as fans thought Therrien suppressed offence, Julien is worse.

Even Galchenyuk for instance, got to 30 goals at age 22 under Therrien, and he played center more under Therrien than under Clod. Until Anze Kopitar took out his knee, Chucky was near the league lead in scoring the year AFTER his 30 goal season! Radulov was more productive under Therrien than Julien. Pacioretty had his worst season in 8 years under Julien. Danault had his best offensive games under Therrien.

All this is not to say that Therrien should be our coach today. His flaws were HUGE and he was well past his "best-before" date. But my point is to show folks how desperately horrible Claude Julien has been for the team, that he is actually doing worse than a coach who was as limited as Michel Therrien.

Marc Bergevin is right. The team had an attitude problem last year. Change the GM and Coach, and the attitude will have a strong chance to turn around, and for results to improve, starting with the Captain!

 

[Habs Halifax]

The chances tend towards zero.

Can't argue with you on that one. It's very low if not zero. But I can see this situation changing. Hope he gets traded for a solid futures return but not holding my breath at this stage.

 

[Benjamin Dobert]

Yeah, I'm sure Tavares went to Toronto for the "support"...

deflecting the responsability on the fans is bull****

Yeah, well I'm sick of the lack of respect throughout sports both from players and the fans. Fans aren't invincible to flak if they sound like little whiners who don't get their own way...or when things aren't perfect the way they want it. So yeah, piss on that.

 

[smirob]

If he can return a good young winger or LHD and a pick I’d be happy,

Comtois
Robertson

Get a big winger with some skill for the future

 

[ottawa]

So I'm beginning to believe he won't be traded.

 

[sampollock]

Maxy is a Hab for one more year,
All will say at the deadline he is gone, but we know that will never happen.
A whole year of guessing and threads, and no sale.

 

[Miller Time]

And maxy stays with MTL, surprise surprise

You scared me... Thought we had extended him

And another whole year of him floating. I bet he won't even swear ONCE to the press!

He will be with us most if the year if not all of it and will wear the "C".

Look out Brian Gionta, maxy is on your heels and coming on strong!

 

[vokiel]

He'll be traded on the day of his golf tournament while using his putter on hole #3.

Bergevin will be in the foursome behind his group and will start making signs with his arms for him to GTFO
