Wish we could have traded for Strome. Another goal tonight. He looks like he could be a good C

Isn’t it enough we already fleeced them in the domi deal?

 

[Per Sjoblom]

EP with a penalty goal

 

[Archijerej]

Would it be too much to ask for league scoring to stay up ?

I legitimately don't care for solid defense. Keep the floodgates open and the defensemen looking like fools.

Good defenceman still look good. The scrubs though... Ouch!

 

[Kriss E]

Lots of teams overlooked Point 2-3 times before TB drafted him.

So?

 

[Kriss E]

Beaulieu is really good at moving the puck as long as it ends up on the other teams stick. I would get scared putting Beaulieu on the PP because he is so bad. Benn is better defensively.

Because I'm talking about that specific moment where Markov was a UFA. No team should protect a UFA in an expansion draft.

Emelin had an awful contract that we unloaded for free.

You're not really engaging in a rational discussion here mate. Just finding an excuse to every name out there in order to justify protecting Benn.
You'd be scared with Bo on the PP...well okay...if you want to play that game I'm scared every time Benn steps on the ice. He is hot garbage. Better defensively? Ya, no. They both suck, badly, but like I said, I'll take the guy with more skills every day of the week.

Emelin's contract was ''awful'', sure, agreed. But clearly, we did not need cap space and he had 2 years left, and again, he provides more than Benn.
Benn is just a confused piece of lard on skates. I have no idea what you see in him. He's freaking garbage.

 

[Kriss E]

Wow, Galchenyuk is having a just awful year
3G in 20 games. 10 pts. He really is just average at best
He’s a 20 g guy and that’s all. The 30 was a complete one off
Thank god Bergevin shipped his lazy ass outta town.

You just can't stop talking about him can you?

I do think Benn is better defensively. My point was that it's not like we protected Benn over some studs. Both Benn and Beaulieu suck, the difference between the two is very little in my opinion.

And had Bergevin known that Radulov and Markov wouldnt come back, he might have protected Emelin. At that time the move made sense to me.

 

[Zorba]

You just can't stop talking about him can you?

Nope. The guy got unnecessary love
Did Nothing to deserve it

So you decide to give him unnecessary hate? Two wrongs don't make one right buddy.

He's gone, Domi has been excellent for us, it's okay you can move on from Galch. You're not discussing him, you're just pointlessly bashing him.

My initial point wasn't about protecting him, it was about how he actually played well when we first got him but turns out he sucks badly. So when people bring up how great the trade Kulak is, maybe think back about the Benn one and wait a little bit before concluding anything.

It’s not pointless at all. So many wanna blame the habs organization for his short comings. So it’s ok to bash Bergevin, MT and Julien for Galchenyuk lack of productivity in Montreal and how he was supposedly handled so poorly but I Can’t bash Galchenyuk for having an atrocious start?
A tad hypocritical.
Im sure he will go on bit of a streak and score his 20 but that’s all he is. Middle of the road winger

Whether Galch goes on to not score another goal in the NHL from today on is completely irrelevant.
He doesn't play for us anymore, what's this childish attitude? You guys blamed Bergevin so now I want to crap on Galch?...I mean really, the hell is that about? lol

There were legitimate questions about how this management group developed him. Whether he scores 50 this year or just one more goal changes absolute jack shit about it. So I don't see the point of bashing him now...

Julien used Galch on the 4th line when he came back from injuries, despite him being one of our best forwards all year. He even used Paul Byron over him at center. Like, it's all good if you want to say the player needs to take responsibility. That's fine. But don't tell me management didn't take some freaking bad or weird decisions themselves. So again, people questioning this management regarding Galch was totally warranted. Your continuous bashing of him months after being traded away isn't.
